The StyleDash 30-day handbag giveaway continues -- and concludes. [sniff] It has been a lot of fun. Every weekday, we gave away a designer handbag to a lucky reader. Today is the final giveaway. You just need to drop a comment onto the contest page. We'll select the winner randomly. I'll get to the rules in a minute. First, today's prize:

For our final giveaway, we are returning to the pebbled leather book tote from Coach Hamptons. This bag looks as blocky to me now as on the day we introduced it. I am (nearly) as clueless about handbags as the day we started this contest. No matter. Click the pic for more info.

The bag could be yours, if you follow these rules:

1) Leave a comment on this post. Doesn't matter what you say. No special consideration is given to rhapsodies about how much you've enjoyed this contest, but we'd like to hear them.

2) No duplicates! Identical twins may each enter once. If you try to double-dip we'll catch it.

3) If you win, don't come back for seconds. Wait -- there aren't any more seconds after today. Never mind.

4) Prizes will be shipped 30-45 days after the 30-day contest ends. Patience is a virtue.

SPECIAL NOTE: Today's contest will stay open until noon Friday (10/27) to give everyone a chance! (Because it started a little late today.)

Good luck, and thanks for participating in this fun contest!

The StyleDash 30-day handbag giveaway continues! We're nearing the end ... two handbags left! Every weekday, we are giving away a designer handbag to a lucky reader.

I'll get to the rules in a minute. First, today's prize:

For our fourth giveaway, we are returning to the Cole Haan village satchel. This bag has elicited much love from readers -- and much scorn from me due to its dachshund-like shape and generally squashed appearance. It looks like a pet that has just been punished. But what do I know? The answer is: nothing. My wife has made that perfectly clear. This is the last time you'll see the Cole Haan bag in this contest! Click the ic for more info on this pricey and oh-so-NOW accessory.

The bag could be yours, if you follow these rules:

1) Leave a comment on this post. Doesn't matter what you say. No special consideration is given to love sonnets, but if you've got love to give we'll receive it.

2) No duplicates! Identical twins may each enter once. If you try to double-dip we'll catch it.

For our fourth giveaway, we are returning to the "Hobo" from Marc by Marc Jacobs, pictured here. This is the last you'll see of the Hobo in this contest! Last chance to look like a homeless person! The Hobo is aptly named, and is nearly big enough to carry all your possessions as you wander through train yards. You are not required to be an itinerant vagrant in order to win this bag, but you should be willing to appear that way. Kidding, kidding. My wife tells me this is a gorgeous bag, and I'm taking her word for it.

For our fourth giveaway, we are returning to the pebbled leather book tote by Coach Hamptons. You can use it to carry other things besides books. Like, for example, your Etch-A-Sketch. Or square-cut boards. This is a handsome, square bag. My wife just yelled over, "Tell them it's beautiful!" She loves it. And it's clear from previous comments that you don't need me to declare this bag beautiful. Click the pic if you want further affirmation.

The bag could be yours, if you follow these rules:

1) Leave a comment on this post. Doesn't matter what you say. No special consideration is given to recitations of nursery rhymes, but we would enjoy them.

2) No duplicates! Only one of your multiple personalities may enter. If you try to double-dip we'll catch it.

3) If you win, don't come back for seconds. Do you need more than one designer handbag? Well, that's a silly question. Still, you're not getting more than one of these.

First of all, are you entering every weekday? If not, why not? Well, the answer to that, yesterday, was that the contest turned up missing. My apologies. I'm the one posting the contest entries, and I was travelling this week. Things went fine until a cancelled flight kept me away an extra night. In the confusion and spotty WiFi access, I did not post the contest installment number 26, which should have started Wednesday and ended Thursday. So the contest skipped a day, and resumes today. I apologize to everyone for whom the contest has become a daily ritual!

The good news is that our designer handbag giveaway returns today, interrupted but undaunted. Only five of the 30 handbags remain! Get over there and place your entry! It's easy: no skill is required. today's bag is a beauty from Cole Haan, pictured here. Good luck!

For our 26th giveaway, we are returning to the village satchel by Cole Haan. Perfect for carrying a dachshund, this sausage-shaped accessory is (so I'm told by my eye-rolling wife) is beatufiul and stylish. It's certainly pricey -- click the pic for more info.

For our 23rd giveaway, we are returning to the Cole Haan village satchel. What can you say about a bag that looks as if it would rather be a hot dog?
