Remember the Peep Show? You, our lovely reader, dig through the site I-Spy style for a chance to cop free gear? We took a holiday break but now (yes, about a month late) the blog is ringing in 2012 with a new flirty item up for grabs. Let us refresh you on the gameplan…

1. Take a look at the product close-up above.

2. Move on over to the Karmaloop site and start searching for the item. Hint: It will only be on our women’s side!

3. Once you think you’ve found the item pictured, send us an email at blogsubmission@karmaloop.com! Use the subject “Peep Show” and in the body of the email be sure to include the name of the item.

One (1) lucky winner will be chosen at random from all those who have guessed correctly, and will win the product pictured.  We’ll announce the winner next Wednesday, February 15, along with the correct answer.  Good luck!

Will You Be Their Valentine? What Karmaloop Gents Are Wishing For

Posted on by

 

We’ve got a mushy holiday on the horizon, and while some of you might spend it anti-celebrating it with Ben & Jerry your best friends, others have a hot date with their hubby. Whether your man friend is a platonic pal you’ve been batting eyelashes at or a longtime boyfriend, any of these sweet treats will give ‘em the warm fuzzies on February 14. We checked in with a couple familiar faces around ‘the Loop, Dennis Todisco (Lifestyle Marketing Director) and Isaiah Bond (Men’s Shoe Buyer), to see what these good lookin’ fellas are hoping to receive for V-Day.

Isaiah’s got all bases covered for a romantic evening: on the naughty side, he wants his girl to pick up lingerie for herself (like the Zebra Print Babydoll from *Intimates Boutique) plus he thinks the La Sardina El Capitan Camera would be dope for a fun filled photoshoot (wink wink, you’ll be the model tonight); for nice gifts, Isaiah would adore some new shoes like the 1460 8-Tie Boot in Cherry Red (he is a footwear buyer afterall) and a home cooked Asian meal…a good excuse to use the Good Fortune Chopsticks by FRED.

…………………………………………………………..

While Isaiah took his naughty/nice list literally, Dennis went conceptual… highlighting colorful product as nice and dark camo prints as naughty.

  • The Reversible Souvenir Jacket in Black by BLVCK SCVLE: This jacket from the homies at Blvck Scvle is tuff…waxed cotton on one side, poplin camo on the other. And the illest thing about reversible jackets is when you travel, it’s like packing two jackets for the space of one.
  • The High Post Cargo Pants in Grey Camo by 10 Deep: (As you may have figured out) I’m mildly obsessed with camo & I love 10 Deep’s refreshing spin on the classic WWII frog skin camo, plus plenty of pockets & a clean cut. Can’t go wrong with these.
  • The 21 Boot in Wine by Gourmet: If you love your man you’ll get him the 21 Boot in Wine by Gourmet. The juxtaposition of the traditional duck boot with the modern air bubble support makes this the choice boot for the winter. And nothing says love like rich burgundy leather.
  • The 42-20 Chrono Watch in All Gold by Nixon: The 42-40 Chrono is flawless and one of my favorite watches from Nixon. 6 hand japanese quartz, second sub dial, chrono and date, hardened mineral crystal external rotating bezel with countdown timer.  One of the nicest watches on Karmaloop, hands down. (No pun intended)

Once the Holidays are over, you may not need to tuck away that perfect party outfit you worked so hard on finding. You can easily dress down your favorite festive pieces to wear them more than once. We’ve prepared you for all holiday occasions so now I’d like to wrap things up by offering a few ways to really make use of your ensemble.

Throw this light wash Mink Pink denim jacket (above) over this Blaque Label sequined dress and pair with this casual Jeffrey Campbell fringe cross body bag. Add these black platform booties by Zigi Shoes to complete the look with a bit of edge.
