Pretty Pleased Giveaway

I'm thrilled to introduce you guys MaryChris and Catherine, the incredibly stylish and hilariously funny sisters behind one of my current favorite blogs, Pretty Pleased. They didn't only share their Barbies and now their blog, but they are running the fabulous online shop Hallelu together and are offering this beautiful Urban Expressions Cognac Cross Body Bag (retails at $58) to one lucky Gypsy*Diaries reader!!!


By now you probably know how crazy I am for bags, I kinda really wish I could win this boho chic beauty for myself! :)  The Urban Expressions line is regularly featured in magazines such as Lucky, People and US and this "Rebecca" style was recently in the Today Show's trend spotting for Fall as well.  I love the color, the messenger style and don't you think it has the perfect size??? Plus it's 100% vegan for the animal lovers out there :).


For a chance to win 
- visit Pretty Pleased and get lost in all the beautiful boho chic pieces over at Hallelu
- follow Gypsy*Diaries on Google or Bloglovin
- show some love in the comment section below before Saturday 9pm CET

For extra entries (you can get an extra comment and extra chance for each of the below ;)
- follow Pretty Pleased the blog
- follow Hallelu on Twitter
- follow Gipsy*Diaries on Facebook
- tweet/post about this giveaway

The giveaway is open to readers all over the globe! ;)

PLUS!!! Shop away through the duration of the giveaway with your custom coupon code "Gypsy"  to receive 15% off your entire purchase at Hallelu (they are also carrying some of my favorite House of Harlow jewelries... :)! There are so many pieces you will fall in love with (I certainly did!) so check it out and make sure you let me know what you've found! ;)

GOOD LUCK BABES! ;)


Update: congrats to Yours Truly Dear! You won this amazing bag! ;) A big thank you to everyone who has participated!!!

  3. I went to their online shop, and their website is gorgeous !! The brown colors, and that pictures that make me believe we're still in summer (because yes, in theory, we still are in summer... but with a fall wetter !). I'm in love ! Thank you for sharing this brand :)

    By the way, I'm following them on Twitter and Facebook, and their blog (as yours, actually) :)

    And that bag has some bobo style i really appreciate (where I live it's easier to find ugly stuff than this kind of things !). So, I'm feeling lucky today, I will take my chance in this wonderful giveaway !

    Thanks a lot to you and Pretty Pleased to organize it !

    Lots of love,
    Adelythe
