Celebratory Giveaway!

by Jen on Wednesday, October 6, 2010



I am so thrilled and excited to reach the 100 follower mark! Yesterday, I must have happy danced with my boyfriend for 5 minutes straight. In the 9 month life of this blog, I feel so lucky to have been able to be inspired by your blogs and I feel even more blessed to have built relationships with each of you. As promised, here is the giveaway in celebration of the first milestone of this blog (excuse my cheesiness!).



If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know how much bold, gold statement jewelry makes me happy. So it only feels appropriate for me to give away something that I love.

Amrita Singh is an Indian costume jeweler based in NYC. I discovered her brand about a year ago and fell in love with the ethnic influences and gold details in her pieces. This cuff retails for $70 and was worn by Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars!





Here's what you have to do to enter:

1) Be a public follower of herwaisechoice via Google Friend Connect

2) Please tell me two things:

- What you've liked best about this blog
- What you would like to see in the future

Also, please leave me your e-mail address to contact you at if you win!

The giveaway is open to ALL readers around the world! Giveaway closes October 17th at 11:59 PST.

Good luck, and THANK YOU again for your support throughout these 9 months!

Oh my gosh I'm the first one to enter the giveaway. Hooray! I like best your outfit posts, I think you have really great style and it inspires me for what I wear. For the future I would just say keep doing what your doing because I think it's awesome!

Congratulations, sweetie! I've seen Amrita Singh's jewelry online before, just gorgeous. Let's see...I like (love) everything about your blog but if I were to pick I'd say my favorite thing about it is how your personality shines through your pictures and writing to create a truly unique blog-reading experience. There are so many fashion blogs out there and sometimes standing out can be so difficult, but you do it effortlessly. In the future...I don't know, I don't feel like your blog is missing anything. More blogger meet-ups and behind-the-scenes pictures? Because those were just adorable.

Here's to the next hundred! ;)

Love your blog and giveaway!

I really like your outfit photos and how you style your outfits in general. Keep doing what you're doing.

It'd be nice to learn a bit more about you on your blog...if that isn't too much to ask!

wow :D so pretty!

Sounds obvious but I like your shoes and the pretty jackets ^^ The pretty photography is a plus too ;) I like your blog the way it is...but maybe a few short personal entries every once in awhile to mix it up would be fun too :)!

:) i'm so happy you reached 100 followers! i say your blog deserves many, many more. i am a relatively new follower, but already loving it so much.

1. i was drawn to the quality of your photos and unique camera angles and vintage washes/lighting. i pointed your photos out to my boyfriend and told him i was super jealous. you always have a big smile on, which makes your outfits radiant and come to life.

2. your photos delivered consistently from the beginning in photography and outfits, but i think you can also include some of your daily life in your posts. people are always curious about what you do day to day :)

Congratulations! I did the little happy jig to myself, and then my sister walked in and it got awkward. My life story.

I LOVE the photography on your blog (kudos to the boy!) and your extremely wearable style. Plus you have amazing writing. What I'd like to see.... hmm... A VLOG. I love seeing bloggers in action!

Congrats Jen! I am so excited for you! I'm still your biggest fan! tee hee ^_^!

1. I love how your show us tons of pics because it gives a sense of your style and I like that we get to see the view from the front, sides and back. It gives me an idea of how blazers and certain things are supposed to fit!

2. I want to see more casual outfits and by this, I mean , I want to see more blogs with flats involved. I can dream about wearing pumps but I barely wear them! Thanks!!

by Curvy Petite on October 7, 2010 at 10:47 AM. #

Wooo! I love this bangle, and your blog, so I'd love to enter.

I'm a follower, of course...and have been for a while! It's been so nice seeing herwaisechoice grow : )

1. My fave thing about your blog is all the different colors & silhouettes that you wear. I don't typically see those on the blogs I read regularly (petite fashion blogs) so it's really refreshing.

2. Maybe do more posts telling us more about yourself? I love clothing & fashion but I also love being nosy and knowing about ppl personally : )

by PetiteAsianGirl on October 7, 2010 at 1:46 PM. #

Hello! Congrats!!!!

I have been a follower for a while (a slient one) and I love your pictures!

1. My favorite thing about your blog is your style (and your smile). I love your outfits and the lovely pictures always brighten my day.

2.I love posts where you show how to wear the same item in different ways.

by Felicia on October 7, 2010 at 2:14 PM. #

Congrats on reaching this milestone! I think your blog is fantastic and I'm actually surprised you don't already have many many more followers! (But they will come! :P)

1. I love the unexpected nature of your outfits and how you accessorize them, and the nice photo quality also makes them a pleasure to look at too.

2. I'd love to see you do more of what you're doing! I'd also love to see tips on how to accessorize too, which I desperately need!

by PetiteXXS on October 7, 2010 at 7:15 PM. #

Wow, I just found your blog and I am amazed at the quality of your pictures and commentary. I love the looks you put together and especially how you let your happiness shine through in all your pictures. I'm your newest fan. :)

I'm a very new subscriber and reader to your blog, so it's likely not fair that I'm entering. However, I sincerely love your style and gain so much inspiration from your posts.

- What you've liked best about this blog
A: Substance. You don't just leave it as OOTD posts. You offer quite a bit of content as well. Not to mention, the quality of the photography is impeccable. Beautiful, beautiful photography. You should definitely thank your boyfriend for that one! He does good work!

- What you would like to see in the future
A: I thought the behind-the-scenes was really interesting. That'd be really intriguing to see more of those kinds of posts, the incidental events around shooting OOTDs.

by TZ (Sunny) on October 9, 2010 at 5:49 PM. #

I've been a public follower for a couple of months now. Your outfit posts are what I like most about this blog. More specifically, you choose items that you don't see on other bloggers and style them in interesting ways. Like others have mentioned, in the future, it'd be nice to see more behind-the-scenes type posts and also say a little bit about yourself to give a sense of a real person behind all the fun clothes. For example, I'd love to know where you were going in that faux leather dress from H&M!

I love your sense of style and your photography on this here. Your personality is super cute and comes through in the photos! (And I do happy dances with my husband all the time, and I love that you do them with your bf!)

Hi! Congrats on 100 readers..I'm almost there too and it is really exciting! :)

I just discovered your blog today and I love your outfit pics. I love how accessible most of them can be but still creative and well put together. I'd love to see...more outfit pics! :)

Thanks for hosting this giveaway, it's so generous of you!

I am already a follower (and a loyal reader) :)

I like several things about this blog but my favorite would have to be the photography - your outfits are always fabulous but I love that your photographs tell a story. It's really a nice touch.

I have enjoyed the posts that you've done recently which incorporate friends and fellow bloggers. The interactions are so interesting.

My email address is [email protected]

Thanks again!

by Elle on October 10, 2010 at 7:53 PM. #

What a great giveaway. I hope I win!

1) I love your blog! First, your fashion choices are impeccable. You put together the most amazing outfits -- but all in a way that looks so accessible to a fashion novice like me. Second, I love the photography. It's stunning! Each and every photo is a winner. Finally, I also like that you bring some diversity (in terms of body size and shape) to the petite blogging world. I think a lot of the outfits and pieces that work for you would work for me too.

2) Honestly, there's not much I could recommend for improving this blog. It's already sooooo good! One thing that would be neat to see is a feature showing how a few little tweaks could completely change an outfit. I don't mean changing a summer outfit into a fall one, but rather staying within one season but styling a piece in two totally different (but effortless) ways.

it's so pretty!! I love that you take the time to take really good photos and they are all interesting =) I honestly can't think of much to improve the blog - i do always like finding clothes that aren't too expensive - so maybe some of your fashion picks that are reasonably priced? Just an idea! :)

This is so exciting Jen! Congrats!! And this cuff is beyond gorgeous!

1) I am definitely following you already ;)

2) I love seeing how you accessorize your outfits! You jewellery is always inspiring and I love seeing how you work the pieces into your outfits. I would love to see some "how-to" posts about how to accessorize or what great staples you have in your closet!

Fingers crossed! :)

by Kara on October 11, 2010 at 7:07 PM. #

Awww, congratulations!

I love the quality of your outfits, so glamorous and vintage! I also like how sometimes they are obtainable pieces like F21.

In the future I would like to see more advice on how you choose clothing! How do you come across such gorgeous pieces?! =0D

Would sum it up to just knowing that you were able to fulfill this accomplishment and desire of establishing it since the beginning..! I'm so proud of you! Oh and of course, knowing that you were able to freely express a part of yourself -- a part that I totally admired, and has given me inspirations for my wardrobe and tastes.

2.What I'd like to see in the future....
hehe would it be possible if you did a series of different themes for each month? I personally would like to see more of your insights on the "office lady" look haha ;)

Congratulations once again! You deserve it :)

by thegoodgirlgoneblog.com on October 18, 2010 at 7:16 AM. #

What you've liked best about this blog:
Of course, all your gorgeous and inspirational outfits. I always come back for inspiration and ideas when I'm stumped on what to wear. You make it look so easy but it's so hard! =P

What you would like to see in the future:
I LOVE statement jewelry so more outfits photos with statement jewelry incorporated. And perhaps more outfits with flats for a tall girl (with SUPER short friends like me).

Your blog is amazing!

What I love about your blog. Your way of being able to put outfits together with one staple item, like the blog entry about your grey skirt and mixing it up through different scenario's. I also love how your photographs are really artistic. It really reflects with your fashion sense.

What I would like to see in the future... Perhaps profile's of people you know who inspire you. Like your girlfriends..do a Q&A on their fashion sense...every now and then to see a mix of that in your blog would be really neat!

Love your blog!! thank you for sharing your inspirations and thoughts and fashion! in return it inspires us :)

May.
