Style Fix

We are down to the final countdown days: the new season of Project Runway starts this Wednesday, November 14.

But wait, that is not all the excitement that will commence this week. We (well, me, hopefully with your support) will be partaking in Reality on Bravo’s Project Blog.

In a competition amongst 11 bloggers from around the world, writers will follow Runway-inspired assignments, earning prizes as we go, battling it out to avoid weekly eliminations, and hoping to be named Top Blogger!

You, the readers, can also win prizes … starting right now! You will understand more as it happens, but for now, check out this week’s prize from our sponsor, Ecoist:

Week One’s Prize: The official Stop Global Warming Ecoist bracelet, shown here.

These eco-friendly bracelets are created from recycled papers like candy wrappers and soda labels. Plus, for every Stop Global Warming bracelet sold, the company will plant a tree!

“Our objective is to merge design with social and environmental consciousness to provide stylish, functional, and durable products that people will love to own,” says Jonathan Marcoschamer from Ecoist. “All our products are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials, and are manufactured through our network of fair trade partnerships around the world.”

They don’t just make bracelets either - at Ecoist’s website, you can find all sorts of handmade items made from recycled products. Check out the movie billboard handbags, the recycled records bowls, the reusable shopping bags, and all of the other great products available for purchase at their site. The prices won’t have you working double shifts, either.

Want a chance to win this prize? Just leave a comment on this post on Reality on Bravo with your favorite product from Ecoist (make sure to use a valid e-mail address if you want to win!). For a second chance to win the super rad earth-friendly bracelet, blog about this contest on your own site, then e-mail the link to allison.boyer-at-yahoo-dot-com. Want a third chance? On Friday vote for your favorite entry in the Project Blog competition (ahem, me, StyleFix), and leave a comment showing support! The winner will be drawn at random from all qualifying entries.

Good luck to you; good luck to me! Check back Thursday for my first contest post!
