Spotlight on StyleDetox.com (and a coupon code for readers!)
The indie online boutique Style Detox was started up by a former music industry publicist in San Francisco, and the link to music shows through its indie- and rockabilly-influenced inventory and jewelry selection. There are dresses that would make an early Gwen Stefani salivate (including a checker picnic print halter dress so cute that it makes me wish I could wear gingham without looking like a dork), and super-cute quirky jewelry selections. The site also carries a carefully selected collection of vintage items of all sorts, and best of all -- everything is super reasonably-priced! Which also means, I've noticed, that things sell out fast, so my advice is to pick up what you want when you can. There's no excuse not to, especially since Style Detox is offering a coupon code for 10% off for nogoodforme readers: just enter nogoodforme10 at checkout and let the magic happen. (By the way, this coupon won't expire, like, ever! Fire at will!) They also donated some adorable jewelry to our Spirit Animal House charity raffle, so clickety-click on the little button below to buy a raffle ticket for a chance to win these (and many, many other wonderful things!)

Giveaway: Handmade Flammable heart necklace! As I've mentioned on thirteen trillion different occasions, I have a really tough time with jewelry. When it comes to the art of matching jewelry to a particular outfit, I'm like nogoodforme.com's equivalent on that kid in second grade who was still working on their three times tables when everybody else was throwing round twelve times twelve like it wasn't no thang at all. Luckily for me, Toronto-based jewelry line Flammable performs the impossible task of "layering necklaces" on my behalf. Whenever I try to wear more than one necklace, I always end up just tangling all the chains together/having an anxiety attack. This is no longer an issue in my life: Flammable designer Laura Garland scours the continent for alternately lovely, charming, vintage, sweet, weird, cool and always-killer lockets and charms, then assembles them in aesthetic combos I'm too stupid to put together on my own, and strings them up in this Flammable-specific method that somehow makes them hang perfectly on your body and never get tangled. I think it's called magic. Luckily for you, we have a one-of-a-kind handmade Flammable necklace to give away here at nogoodforme.com! It's the one in the first picture below, featuring the textured gold heart (which represents Kat), cowboy boot (Liz) and sweetie-pie green baby heart (Laura). Beneath it you will see some other fly Flammable creations available for your purchasing pleasure over at Flammable's Etsy Shop). All you have to do to get your grubby and/or adorable little paws all over this necklace is: Leave a comment below with your name, a valid e-mail address, and (most importantly), an idea for a Laura Jane Fashion (or non-fashion) Challenge! Whoever comes up with the coolest challenge idea not only scores a free necklace, but furthermore, gets to see their challenge executed by yours truly! If that isn't a win-win situation, I don't know what is. GOOD LUCK, & HAPPY IDEATING! PS: That model is SO SEXY. PPS: The deadline for this giveaway is Thursday, August 14th.

Promotion: Reader Discount, 15% Off at Lulus.com!
It's always good times at nogoodforme, and now we have something really fun for our lovely readers. Lulus.com is a charming little shopping site, full of happy, girlie clothes and accessories at insanely great prices. I can't think of anything much better than that, to be honest, so I'll just let the pictures of my favorites do the work for you. (Click on the images to take you to the product page.) Their buyers have a good eye for fun, kicky details and for mixing trendier items with more whimsical, feminine aesthetics; items are also of limited quantity, so not every girl in your zip code will be wearing what you have on. (The dark side of this is that things tend to sell out quickly, so you might want to snap up your favorites.) Best of all, you can get 15% off the total if you enter 'nogoodforme' at checkout; it's valid till August 1st. Isn't that sweet?

Giveaway: A super-hot Bryna Nicole clutch!
Bryna Nicole is an up-and-coming accessories designer based out of San Francisco, and her bags are pretty awesome: they manage to be vintage-inspired without being hopelessly retro, mostly because she uses the most delectable materials you can imagine, not to mention lively, contemporary colors. Made with soft suedes and leathers, eye-catching colors and versatile shapes and lines, her bags can work in all sorts of situations, from the most straight-laced business meeting to drinks at your local dive bar. They're simultaneously fun yet classic, and even better, you can carry them from season to season without getting sick of them -- or having them break on you. (Quality, my friends, it really works.) Anyway, we have a Bryna Nicole Jaden clutch in turquoise to give away here at nogoodforme.com. (It's the first pic below; plus there are a few more images of Bryna's stellar work. The actual bag we have a bit more teal-ish in hue than the picture indicates.) I've been staring at the Jaden bag for about a week, really wanting to keep it for myself, to be honest -- suddenly developing a craving for a bag that "pops" against an outfit and thinking it's both 1980s roller girl AND a perfect summer "going out" bag. The material is divine and the detailing is super quality -- you'll love it, trust me. So what are you waiting for? Leave a comment below (be sure to register with a valid email address!) -- we'll draw a name in a week and some really lucky duck will be racking up compliments all summer long. I'm already jealous!

DIY/Giveaway: Sew U Home Stretch by Wendy Mullin
True confession: I can sew. My ever-practical mother made sure of it, although she did also tell me that a girl should never let anyone know she can cook or sew, or otherwise she'll get stuck doing those things. (Hey, it was the early 80s, before craftiness became a Third Wave feminist thing.) Yet it's rare that I get to practice my mad skills, mostly due to time, but also to disinclination. To be honest, most things you learn sewing on -- A-line skirts, woven tops, that sort of thing -- I never really wear at all, so why would I spend time making them? I'm pretty much a jeans/leggings/t-shirt/boots/jacket kind of girl at this point, so there's not much in the super-crafty look that works for me. But leave it to Built By Wendy designer Wendy Mullin to create that one book that could get me to dust off my old Singer again. While Mullin's previous book, Sew U, concentrated on the basics of sewing and started off the beginning seamstress with woven patterns, Sew U Home Stretch is all about knits: t-shirts, stretchy dresses, even hoodies! If you ever wanted to learn how to make a t-shirt or a cute boatneck top, this is your tome: it offers clear, easy-to-follow instructions in a beautifully simple layout, and it provides three patterns that Mullins shows you how to customize and alter to create those ever-important variations. Word of warning, though: if you're a total beginner at sewing, you should get a bit more familiar with the craft before you pick this up, although novices who know their way around a machine should be fine. (Mullin does a good job with providing instructions to make her patterns with a conventional sewing machine, but the first thing you learn is that most knits are made with a serger, which is a scary-looking piece of equipment that she demystifies nicely.) Still, I'm excited to take a crack at some of the patterns in the book -- and to make something I'd actually wear! I imagine some of you are, too. So here's the fun part: the first two readers who email me will get a free copy of the book! So hit me up at editors at nogoodforme.com, mmmkay? Our 2 copies have been given away! But stay tuned, we have more goodies planned for nogoodforme.com readers!
