Alice + Olivia Voula Ombre Sequin Dress

Love to shop? Love free return shipping? Then you no doubt already know about Shopbop, the online retailer of all brands luxe and hip. If you don’t, then consider this your friendly introduction to the fun shopping website that carries everything from J Brand and Rich & Skinny to Thakoon and Alice + Olivia, all of which you can find on the site’s designer clothing sale page. This Alice + Olivia Voula Ombre Sequin Dress (shown at right), on sale at 30 percent off, is a personal favorite of mine.

Would you like some help with buying some of your personal faves? Then you’re in luck because I’m giving away a $100 Shopbop gift card. With that kind of cash, you could put it toward some of the flow-y pieces from Thread Social or a cute one shoulder dress. Or maybe one of the Tibi dresses is more your style — the black and white Cap Sleeve Dress and the Madeline Cap Sleeve Dress are two that I would definitely consider.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Leave a comment on this post by Oct. 27 at 11:59 p.m. PST stating what you would spend your $100 on.

2. Either follow me on Twitter or “like” me on Facebook.

3. Either tweet “I entered to win a $100 gift card from @shopbop on @shopeatsleep! http://su.pr/1dOcTs” or post on your Facebook page “I entered to win a $100 gift card from Shopbop on ShopEatSleep [and tag the Facebook page]! http://su.pr/1dOcTs”

That’s it. I’ll pick a winner at random and make the announcement on Oct. 28. Good luck!

Note: The winner is Hanh of HungryHungryHanh. Congratulations!

Escada has its own sizing system?

Have you been to the new Nordstrom Rack at Beverly Connection yet? I finally made it over there last weekend — sad, because it’s so close to my place — and took some notes so you’ll know what to expect. (Blackburn and Sweetzer was, of course, on top of things at the grand opening and offered an early look at what the store has to offer.) This could be a good place to find a holiday party dress or gift, though right now the store is still stocking a lot of left over warm-weather clothes. But this is Los Angeles, where we can and do wear out-of-season clothes all the time — because we can, practically and stylistically — so get your discounted-designer-goods shopping on!
