We have a winner for the funny-because-it's-almost-true book Forgotten Fashion: An Illustrated Faux History of Outrageous Trends and Their Untimely Demise by Kate Hahn, a hilarious (and made up) tome about the history of fashion.

We have a winner of the prize package from Nick Arrojo, celebrity stylist and makeover king of What Not to Wear.

Readers, you cracked us up with all of your great responses to what your biggest fashion pet peeve is -- muffin tops and sliding bra straps definitely topped the list. Our three winners of The Strapper Giveaway agreed.

Thanks to the hundreds of you who shared inspirational stories as part of the StyleList Giveaway of a BaByliss flat iron in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Whether it was your mom, sister, friend or in some case yourself, it's clear that there are so many strong -- and surviving -- women out there.

We had nearly 300 excited readers vying to take home the luxurious and beautiful Lauren Merkin "Molly" clutch. Inspired by Debra Messing's character on The Starter Wife, this bag is fun and fabulous!

The lucky fashionista who will "take it on every date I have!!!" is Christine from Wisconsin. We know she'll look hot carrying this versatile purple bag, even when the weather gets a bit cold!

Don't be sad if you didn't win, you can enter the StyleList Giveaway this week: A BaBybliss flat iron in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

We have our winner for the StyleList Giveaway of the Motorola EQ5 Wireless Travel Stereo Speakers. It's Daniel M., who tells us that his favorite place to play music is "usually in the car" will now be able to listen to tunes, handsfree, while cruising the streets.

With these sleek speakers, Daniel will look cool even sitting in a supermarket parking lot!

Remember to check out the next StyleList Giveaway, posted first thing Monday morning. We've got something special in store this week!

We are so happy to announce the winner of the Melanie Auld Owl Necklace -- Sue, who writes, "Owls stand for Intelligence so I would definitely wear my HOOT with any outfit that I want to look 'smart' in! I give it 10 HOOTS! Can't wait to show off my OWL this fall!"

Sure, the Victoria Secret fashion show has all of those supermodels, but it's sort of sanitized sexiness. Plus you know that everything in the show will eventually turn up a mall near you, piled on a table next to a pyramid of "Pink-scented" lotion.

If you want creativity and adventure in your underwear, you have to check out the new Triumph Inspiration Awards. An international design competition for students, this year the theme was Female Fascination. Designers from 31 countries participated and the judges included supermodel Helena Christensen, Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf, and noted sexy photographer Ellen von Unwerth.

Congratulations to Styledash reader Jeanette. She is the winner of the beautiful blue daisy YogaMatic yoga mat.

From your comments, it sounds like Downward Dog is the overwhelming favorite yoga pose of our readers, with Pigeon and Child's Pose getting a few votes, too. And of course everyone loves the meditation or Corpse pose, at the end. It's like nap time for grown ups!

We know Jeanette will be strong and stylish when she strikes her favorite pose, Tree, on her new YogaMatic yoga mat.

Namaste, Jeanette, and thanks to everyone for sharing their favorites. Remember to check out the Giveaway this week: Dentaburst for you and a friend!

Congratulations to Kristi, the lucky winner of the Motorola Bluetooth hands-free headset.

Thanks to everyone who entered the drawing by sharing your funniest phone mishap. If we learned anything, it's that anything liquid acts as a magnet for cellphones. This is especially true of toilets, where at least half of your mishaps happened.

Here is the mishap from Kristi:

My ringtone for my husband is "I touch myself" by the Divinyls. At the time we had a friend and her hearing impaired son living with us. I left my phone on the kitchen counter during a visit from the child's case worker. In the middle of her asking about the living arrangements and stability of the home, my husband called sending "I touch myself" all through the house! Luckily, the case worker had a good sense of humor!

Congratulations to Talya, winner of our My Little Empire Giveaway! She will be wearing the awesome outfit you see at right with vintage lavender ankle boots! Read her deserving comment below; sometimes we luck out on the random choosing:

I have a completely adorable pair of vintage lavender ankle boots--very high, delicate heel and pointed toe--that I found in a thrift store in SF's Mission District. They're perfect for this--the whole look would be very diaphanous and ethereal, but a little bit funky, too!

Congratulations also to the winner of our Roman Savell Giveaway, Glenda! Whatcha gonna put in that classy bag, Glenda?

We have a winner of the Star 50 Bag Giveaway! Terri is going to be taking home the fabulous Star 50 Louisiana Market Sac so she can carry whatever she needs in style!

If you live via your TiVo then this may be a spoiler. Immediately turn away from your computer, fire up the DVR and catch up with the world of the living. Return. Resume.

Fierce. That's what the winner is this year, Mr. Christian Siriano, fierce. He's also young, at 22-years-old Christian is the youngest winner EVAH! That's right, in the whole history of historic Project Runway seasons there has never been anyone getting this professional boost so early in their respective career. Fierce, indeed.

Some say that Christian gave away the winner a couple of weeks ago when the remaining cast members were on Regis & Kelly. The show was finished taping at that time, but the episodes had yet to run and the designers were sworn to double-secret, to the grave, zip it silence. Christian, being fierce, made a remark that viewers jumped on as a hint to his victory. Turns out they were right.

Here is Christian now, he's officially outed as the winner and returns to visit Regis & Kelly once more. This time he can say whatever he wants.

Congratulations, Christian.

Part I

Part II

We've opened our doors, and we want to celebrate. This blog is hitting the ground running, with over 350 posts for your reading pleasure, features galore, and ... a stylish giveaway!

For the next 30 days, we will give away a designer handbag or book tote to a lucky reader. The emphasis is on "lucky," because we're not asking you to do anything difficult, like pose for a head shot before applying hair product. 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 inaugural giveaway, we are offering the Hobo, from Marc Jacobs, pictured here. It's a casual accessory, but the non-casual retail price sharply distinguishes it from a water bag you'd sling over a camel in the desert. Well, that, plus the grained leather, antique silver hardware, 10-inch drop (camels prefer snug fits), cotton lining, leather-trimmed zipper pocket, and cell phone pocket (camels are not chatty).

Anyway, 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 Portuguese haikus, but please -- make our day.

2) No duplicates! That doesn't mean your identical twin cannot enter. It does mean that each of you can enter only once per contest day. If you try to double-dip we'll catch it and hold a grudge. Then you'll be barred for good and everyone will be sad.

3) If you win, don't come back for seconds. How many designer handbags do you need? Don't answer that.

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

Today's contest will stay open until noon tomorrow (Thursday), when the next giveaway will be posted. From then on, each contest will start and end at noon.

Good luck, and thanks for being part of StyleDash!
