Republic Of Chic has been a "labour of love" just as The Sartorialist for Scott Schuman. What began as a game of cyber dress-up, we used to jest, soon became a space which has evolved into a serious extension of our personalities. A handy tool for both self-indulgence and more importantly, self-reflection. We have loved meeting so many of you beautiful people from all over the world. These conversations that this blog has spawned are cherished most by us. Thank you all, for your constant encouragement. Now, as we fast approach 100 posts and 200 followers, it is time for us to give back.

All our friends know that there is nothing we enjoy more than gifting books! :) And our pick for this giveaway is The Sartorialist book. Sure, you could get a majority of the content from the blog, but there’s something to be said for having it in the flesh. Its pages are a collage of men and women framed in soft focus, elegantly attired and wistfully posed on the streets of the world's most stylish cities. Street shots are the highest form of style inspiration for us, it's the place we go to on days we're feeling mediocre and uninspired. It is our antidote, one we must share with you. To take part in this giveaway:

1) Follow us on Blogspot. 
2) Follow us on Twitter or Bloglovin' or Facebook for extra entries. For each leave a separate comment so you can increase your chances of winning. This is optional.
3) The giveaway is open to International readers and is valid until the 8th of August '10. Winner will be picked using a random number generator. Until then, you can leave a comment here telling us where your bursts of inspiration come from. Don't forget to leave your email address! :)
