Because we rock— I mean, because you're either really interested in fashion and/or music, or because you were looking for a good recipe to make pink rock candy. Unfortunately, I can't help you with the latter, but I'm addicted to fashion and music so click around.

I Wasn’t Always Fashionable

Chelsea Rae | Contests, Fashion, My Style, Pink Rock Candy | Thursday, 20 November 2008

We all do it. As we go through old pictures of ourselves, we can help but think, “What the hell was I thinking?” or “Who decided this shit was trendy?” Pronto.com is giving you the chance to win a shopping spree off a fashion faux pas of yours.

The contest is called the ‘My Worst Fashion Moment’ contest, and the grand prize is a $2,000 Bluefly shopping spree. Also, people with the most votes in the first two weeks can also win ‘Early Uploader’ prizes like a FLIP Mino digital video recorder.

When looking for pictures of some of the monstrosities I’ve sported, I stumbled across this picture from a friend’s 13th Birthday party. A group of my friends went to here cottage and got all dressed up had a Clinique beautician do our make-up and headed out to a “fancy” restaurant. The make up was horrendous, but I didn’t have the heart to tell the make-up artist, and I loved that crush velvet top and Baby G watches were all the rage, but I had worn mine so much it started to turn almost green even though when I purchased it it was purple. Now, I just can’t help but cringe at the entire situation. I don’t even look like myself!

Head over to Pronto.com and ‘bomb’ the fashion moments you think are the worst, oh and mine too! Then, add your worst fashion moment to the mix. Good luck!

If you upload your picture, make sure to send me a link so I can ‘bomb’ yours too!

SpoonFed Art Giveaway

Pink Rock Candy, SpoonFed Art, spoon necklace pendants

The fashion world has been in an uproar about new laws on excessive thinness, dead models because of eating disorders, and runway exclusions because models are too thin or not thin enough, depending on where, but not many people are truly being constructive about the eating disorder issue. Last year, I wrote about an awesome company called SpoonFed Art, and not only do they make gorgeous charms out of spoons, but the owner was inspired to create her company after her own battle with an eating disorder and is a giant supporter of the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) and even designed a limited edition NEDA necklace for their annual fundraising auction. Now, SpoonFed Art wants to give you a free necklace!

This is Spoonfed Art’s first ever contest, and the winner receives a gorgeous spoon pendant necklace of your choice with their new pretty brushed metal chains (in 16″ or 26″). All you have to do is sign up for their free newsletter anytime during May, and voila, you’re entered. You can also get extra entries for each pendant you purchase from their website. The first week of June, owner, Karen Collins will randomly choose a winner and the winner will have their choice of any of the pretty pendants.

For more info about SpoonFed Art you can go to the website here: www.spoonfedart.com and read my scoop here!

Win! Win! Win!

Pink Rock Candy, pinkrockcandy.net, Temposhark T-shirt contest

Everyone likes to win things. Whether it’s a piece of candy while playing BINGO in class or millions of dollars from the lottery, it always feels good to win. So I bring to you, lovely readers, two contests you can win. One will let you show the world your artistic genius, and the other is for the shopping obsessed mob who can put a sentence or two together.

The first contest is for those who have a knack for art. To celebrate the release of their upcoming album, The Invisible Line (March 25), Temposhark is looking for someone to design a t-shirt for there upcoming tour. The 10 best t-shirt designs will be presented to the guys and they’ll choose the winner. If you do happen to win, not only will your shirt be seen on thousands of screaming girls, but you will get $1000 dollars and a bunch of Temposhark goodies including 2 tickets their concert (you choose the venue), their entire CD catalogue, and 5 t-shirts including a signed version of the tee you designed. Want some more incentive? If you don’t win but your design is chosen to be in the top ten shirts, you still get prizes. I know, it’s awesome!

If you’re up for it, get busy because the contest ends March 31st. You can enter your design by going to designbyhumans.com/temposhark (scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page).

Pink Rock Candy, pinkrockcandy.net, Diane von Furstenburg - Women You Love contestNext up is a contest for Diane von Furstenburg. Let me say it again, Diane von Furstenburg! March 8th was International Women’s Day, of which Diane is a giant advocate. So, in the spirit of IWD, DVF (whoa lots of letters) has launched a contest asking people to write an essay about the woman or women that inspire you in any and every way. There’s no word limit or restrictions on who you write about as long as it’s a real person and you can provide a picture!

The grand prize is a trip to NYC, a $5,000 shopping spree at the DVF flagship store, and 2 tickets to the Spring 2009 DFV fashion show. I’m not sure which prize I’m more excited about. If you’re not chosen to be the “grand prize winner, there are other prizes you can win including those for “Most Viral” (make sure to tell everyone about your entry, leave it in a comment if you’d like and I’ll vote for you!), “Reviewer and Voter Sweepstakes” (meaning you can win for just voting!), and “Sign-Up Sweepstakes” (sign-up for the DVF newsletter). The contest ends April 19, 2008 at 11:30 PM (PST). For details on the prizes, rules and regulations, and how to enter head to inside.dvf.com/womenyoulove.

Pink Rock Candy, Lucky Magazine, Hayden Panettiere, Giveaway

Hayden Panettiere has been waltzing around in a great gold and diamond ring from Love Rocks NY. I think there was a rumor that her potential beau, Milo Ventimiglia (swoon!), bought it for her, but that’s beside the point. Hayden is also wearing the “Infinity” ring on the cover of the February 2008 issue of Lucky, and they’re giving one reader a chance to win Hayden’s entire cover outfit including the $1,800 “Infinity” ring.

Not the ring wearing type? Lucky is also giving away tons of diamonds in the “Lucky Breaks” section of the February issue to celebrate Valentine’s Day. You can enter to win one or all of the diamond giveaways by visiting the Lucky Breaks section on Lucky.com and entering your info.
