Born To Love Gap - Part 2

Yay! Free jeans! Yay!

Okay, so a few weeks after having coffee with Justine my sugarmama, a UPS man brought me a big box from Gap.

Born To Fit Welcome Box

I was super-excited to receive it because I knew that I had either been chosen to become a Gap Brand Enthusiast or I was about to read the longest "We regret to inform you..." letter ever written. After quickly tearing it open, I opened it up and found a lovely orange bag, a bottle of Gap's new perfume Close, a bunch of lip gloss, and a cute tee that says "Born to Blog" on it.

Here's everything minus the tee (which you'll see later!):

Gap bag, lip gloss, "Close" perfume

There was also a letter from Justine inside that said, "It didn't take long after meeting you for the team to decide that you would make a perfect Brand Enthusiast for Gap..."

Welcome Letter

The letter went on to explain that Justine was going to send me a big box of Gap goodies—including a bunch of new 1969 jeans in different styles and a run of sizes—so I should invite all my friends over to try them on. Everyone would then get to go home with a free pair. Free stuff is great, but when you get to share it with your friends, it's even better!

The next step was planning my party. For that, you are going to have to wait for Part 3!

PS - Part 5 is where I tell you about the FREE Gap jeans & gift card giveaway!

I definitely would love to attend the party when you throw it. I think what GAP is doing is great, I've seen a few other bloggers who have been chosen as well. I love GAP jeans, glad to see them branching out for marketing.

Bag is cute! How's the perfume? I like a lot of GAP scents, but never tried that one.

1. Love the new blog avatar
2. I'm so freakin jealous of the Born to Blog T-shirt they gave out. I've read a ton of bloggers who were chosen for the program. I so wish it were me, just for that T!!

This is a fab story! I can't wait to hear more. I wish I lived closer - and I suppose actually knew you - so that I could come to the party!

August 17, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMichele

the bag is beautiful! Gap has to open more stores around Asia!

August 18, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAngel

This is awesome, Karyn. Too bad I don't live near you to where I could come to your GAP jeans party! LOL

I am always on the hunt for comfortable, cute jeans.

How do you find about this cool stuff, anyhow?

I can't wait to read more about.

How's Bev & Elvis?

LOVE that bag. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

After reading this I went and tried on some of the jeans at Gap, they are amazing. And I am not a person that buys my jeans there. Already picked up 1 pair and plan to go back for more- thanks!

August 18, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDenise

How many people do you need to comment on this post? I love GAP, too!

August 18, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkarengberger

I actually bought a pair of skinny jeans to wear with my new Steven by Steve Madden boots this fall. I hope they fit! They don't have a Gap by me, so I had to order them online.

Also, if you have any pull with Gap, tell them to bring back Forthe and Towne.

I love Close.

August 18, 2009 | Unregistered Commentershoeaddict

I am so jealous!! What a fabulous thing to be involved in... free stuff that's completely ADORABLE and seemingly endless!! Can't wait for Part 3!
