Hello everyone! And hello, autumn! Who would have thought that a little side project that I decided to start exactly one year ago today as an outlet for my passion for fashion and classic cinema would come so far and celebrate its first anniversary? So thank you for being here with me and for your wonderful support you’ve been showing me every day through your visits, comments and emails. It’s been such a beautiful ride, I’ve come to meet so many amazing people, some of which I now have the privilege of calling them friends, and I’ve discovered that blogging has truly opened new horizons for me which I am only starting to explore. And this morning I received the most beautiful present for this anniversary: a comment from the author Richard Torregrossa for my review and presentation of his book, Cary Grant: A Celebration Of Style. What an honor this is. My humble thank you.
And what better way to celebrate than hosting my very first fabulous giveaway? Coco Chanel: The Legend and The Life, a book that reveals the true heart of fashion and which anyone who loves fashion should have on her/his book shelf. After having read mine I knew that I had to surprise my readers with a giveaway of this wonderful book. Without further ado, this is what you have to do for your chance to win a copy of the book:
- Follow Classiq on Facebook or Twitter
- Leave a comment below and make sure you include a valid email address so that I can contact you in case you win.
- For extra entries you can mention this giveaway on Twitter, Facebook or on your blog. Please leave additional comments for every additional mention.
The giveaway is open to ALL readers and it closes on Sunday, 18 September, at midnight GMT. The winner will be announced on Monday, 19 September. Good luck!

Draga mea, sa-tzi traiasca 🙂 sa te bucuri de pasiunea scrisului in continuare si pe noi sa ne bucuri cum ai facut-o pana acum! Un an,…felicitari!!! Mi-as dori din tot sufletul aceasta carte,..am mai citit si de la prieteni carti despre Chanel si este un idol pt mine…poate ma ajuta norocul…
Si eu am un giveaway…un pic mai diferit… https://www.ingridslifeandluxury.com/2011/08/summer-giveaway.html nu fac reclama aici…ci pur si simplu m-as bucura sa castige persoane foarte into fashion and style like you are! I am following you…stii asta…si nu mi-as putea imagina blogosfera fara classiq.ro Keep up the good work!!!
Happy anniversary Ada! Si la cat mai multe postari! Te pup!
Happy Anniversary my wonderful blog friend! I’m so glad you decided to start blogging; coming here is a joy.
As I have a copy of the same book I’ll not enter the giveaway; better to let someone else have a chance to win it.
Happy anniversary!!! Keep doing this beautiful work!
La multi ani, Ada – La multi ani, classiq!
Happy birthday!!! Even if I have discovered your blog recently and did not accompany you on your one year ride in the fashion virtual world, I have to say that your blog is one of my dearest. All your posts are surprising and wonderful and I am sure you will celebrate many years from now on ;).
I saw a Romanian version of the book a couple of days ago and I was tempted to buy it but I did not. Maybe because a little voice inside my head told me that Classiq will giveaway the English version of Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life…hihihi
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE BEAUTIFUL BLOG!!!!!! And what a gorgeous day to celebrate it!!! Wishing you many more happy years in blogosphere and many more loving followers. And I am so glad I have found you – what a wonderful discovery it was.
The giveaway if fantastic – I would never miss a book giveaway, so please count me in, darling.
I have books coming out my ears but what a wonderful opportunity for someone else.
I just wanted to wish you a happy blog anniversary!
