And the Winner is…
Angelica:
If I won I would choose these: http://www.famousfootwear.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=18159&pg=1022602 – I like that they are slimmer than the originals, don’t get me wrong I love my original Converse, but sometimes they feel heavy and these look like they would definitely solve that problem!
Congratulations, Angelica! You will be contacted via email for further instructions on how to claim your prize. Thanks to everyone for entering. The next giveaway is already in the queue, so stay tuned!
Surprise, my lovelies! Here we go again with yet another giveaway for our lovely readers! How about a free pair of shoes? Sounds good? This time we have partnered with Famous Footwear. Read the rules below on how to enter this giveaway.
The Prize
This giveaway is kindly sponsored by Famous Footwear (thank you!). 1 lucky winner will get to pick 1 pair of Converse shoes available at Famous Footwear.
Btw, Did You Know…
Famous Footwear has launched a Facebook contest called “Step It Up For Your School” – a national contest to inspire students to advocate for their high school to be improved. Entrants have a chance to win the $100,000 prize — $75,000 to transform their high school, and a $25,000 cash prize for the winning nominator to keep.
Participants can visit Famous Footwear’s Facebook page for details on how to nominate their high school to receive a donation of up to $75,000 by writing a 250-word essay explaining how their school would use the funds.
Famous Footwear Facebook fans can vote once each day for their favorite essay, and the high school that accumulates the highest number of votes will receive up to $75,000 towards a transformation project.
The writer of the essay that garners the most votes will receive a cash prize worth up to $25,000. For every vote cast, Famous Footwear will add $1 to the prize, up to $75,000 for the school donation and up to $25,000 for the individual cash prize. The grand prize will be announced in late September. Entrants must be at least 13 years old.

A Quick Note on mycharity: water
Right now, one billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in eight of us. On mycharity: water, you can run, bike, give up birthday presents or just raise money to fund water projects for communities in need. 100% of the money you raise will go directly to people in need and in 12-18 months, you’ll see proof of the projects built using photos and GPS. Get involved, too!
The goal of our mycharity: water project is it to raise $500 until the end of October. This will ensure 25 people having access to clean drinking water for the next 25 years! Join forces with us! Make a donation and increase your winning chances! Also, did we mention you get tons of good Karma by donating? 
IMPORTANT: Private/Protected tweets can’t be credited just as anonymous donations on mycharity: water (you don’t have to leave your real name, but at least some kind of nickname, email address or unique id).
If you decide to do one of the things in the list above, please mention them in your comment here on this page. You can add as many comments as you want if you should decide to do things one by one. Just remember to always use the same email address when writing a comment, so the additional entries can be credited to you. Also, please mention your twitter username and include the link to your tweet about the giveaway as well as your Facebook name or link to your profile (or simply reply with your comment name to the giveaway status message on our Facebook page).
