Giveaway: Win A Foley + Corinna Disco City Bag!
If you’ve been reading this blog since the beginning, then you probably know what a huge fan I am of the brand Foley + Corinna. So, when they reached out to me to host a giveaway, I of course said yes! Right now, they are partnering with REVOLVE Clothing for a capsule collection of limited edition one of a kind hand-splattered classic Foley + Corinna styles, which are all made in their New York City studio. What’s really cool is that all of the splatter collection handbags and ready to wear available on REVOLVE have been handmade and each piece is unique. So no two are the same! They come in a few styles – classic Mid City, Disco City, Fold Over Clutch – but I have to say my little mini Disco City is my fave (shown above).
Now, onto the good stuff. To enter to win this adorable little cross-body bag, head to Facebook and “like” My Style Pill, Foley + Corinna and REVOLVE, and then leave a comment below! TWO winners will be chosen a week from today, so hop to it, and good luck! xo

***I have had a love affair with Foley + Corinna bags ever since I wrote this post back in 2008, which was my 7th post! Ever since then, I have dreamed of owning a Mid City tote, and last week, my dream came true. Don’t you just adore the cheerful color? Surprisingly, it works as an excellent neutral and goes with everything in my closet. Happiness all around!***
This outfit came together sort of randomly, but was the perfect ensemble for a relaxing catch-up-brunch with my dear friend Amanda this past Saturday morning. We chatted over eggs and coffee and then took some quick outfit shots. I love the title of this post because it’s so fitting—the majority of the pieces are “borrowed” from the men in my life—but it was in fact, thought up by my quick witted said friend.
I really like wearing oversized items (“A” is not a huge fan of this, or shoulder pads in blazers) but know that sometimes too oversized can overwhelm my shape and I end up looking frumpy. But this time around, I think I managed to balance out this casual, comfy look by tailoring it with a slightly cinched trench and girly green wedges. Oh, and of course my new, very favorite tote. Happy Monday!
Obsession of the Week: Mid City Tote
I have finally found the perfect tote. For months upon months, I have scoured department stores, street racks and vintage stores for a bag that fits all my needs, both practically and asthetically speaking. Today, I was perusing through simplelovely.blogspot.com, and came across a photo of the Mid City Tote from Foley + Corinna. My reasons for why this bag is perfect are three-fold…
1. The mousey-gray color is amazing and goes with everything.
2. The opening of the bag comes up high enough so if slipped on your arm or up on your shoulder you don’t have to worry about it dangerously hanging open while standing on the subway.
3. It can stay unfolded and be used as a hand-held bag, or it can fold down into a hip little shoulder-slung number, fitting perfectly with whatever type of outfit you might have on.
And, here it is folks…please try to not to drool.
