********** this give-away is now closed and winner has been selected**********

I get to do a new give-away each week for the next three weeks.

I feel so lucky to have generous readers offering to give away some pretty awesome stuff.

The give-away this week is $200 credit to pick from amazingly chic swim suits or fitness clothing at a company called Albion Fit (check it out here).

It features tennis wear and super well-made, comfortable swimwear.

Company philosophy from the founder:  “All of our swims are modest and sophisticated and make women feel comfortable and beautiful. We use fun techniques like ruching to cover up areas that women might want to keep a bit under wraps, and all or fabrics have great compression features, removable bra cups, and the suits last forever.  All our fitness items use the nicest fabrics on the market.  They all have wicking features, anti-microbial so they won’t get smelly, and have great compression features.” 


Their flagship store just opened at the beautiful City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City, which is kind of cool.

I got my own polka dot swim suit to test out if it lives up to the hype and man alive I really love it.  Here I am wearing it:

I know, I look super young, right? 

Ha. 

I just figured you’d rather see that cute girl wearing it than me.

There are some really cool vintage-y swims on there along with some funky ones and classic ones…I love the styles.

But let’s get to the fitness wear because the lovely tennis-playing Elle gets to model that:2013-05-14 misc. 75422
…and she’s a cutie.2013-05-14 misc. 75440We LOVE that skirt.  Is it not so darn cute?  It’s called the “Match Point Pleat Skirt.”

And Elle is gonna be so mad at me for posting this one…but I couldn’t resist.2013-05-14 misc. 75423
I love the ruching on the tank:2013-05-14 misc. 75436(It’s called the “love racer” tank.)

Love this skirt too…love that it has pockets.2013-05-14 misc. 75443(Let’s just be glad those shoes aren’t going to be given away…except to the garbage can…)

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  There is SO much stuff on that site.  Things you are going to be drooling to have.  So here’s how you enter to win a wad of cash ($200) to spend on whatever your heart desires over there on albionfit.com. 

There are three ways to enter and you can do all three if you’d like extra chances:

1. Like albionfitness on FB (here).  Then come back and enter a comment.

2. Go to albionfit.com and pin your favorite item on Pinterest.  Come back and leave a comment that that deed is done.

3. Leave a comment about that favorite thing that you pinned back here.

I’ll announce the winner Friday morning.

Love, Shawni

  80. #3: I pinned the Optimum Capris! In all honesty, until recently I've never been one to exercise, then decided to make a change for myself and to set an example for my children…so this Spring I did my first 5k–and my eldest child (6 yrs old) ran with! And just last week I started Kickboxing! I love doing "fun" forms of exercise, and these capris from Albion Fitness would be perfect for my new workouts! Thanks for the opportunity to win a fantastic prize!

    Reply

  189. I like them on facebook. Cute suits! I need a new one since I lost 40 pounds last year, but I was waiting until this summer until I'm closer to my goal. =) I'd love to win!

    Reply

  211. I picked the yellow crisscross suit because I like the style and that the top is high. With four kids, I like extra coverage because I'm always bending down and don't like to be worried about that.

    Reply

  246. I pinned the sweet stripe jacket in coral and grey…I love this jacket, and I live in Randolph, UT (only 30 miles from Bear Lake!!) and it gets really chilly here, even in the late summer and early fall, but I love running outside as much as I can until the snow hits and this jacket would be perfect. I would love to win!!

    Reply

  277. I love the Gown Suit in Charcoal, and tried to pin it but the pin kept showing up as a standard image?

    Anyway, liked them on FB, tried to pin and LOVE that suit. So cute and appropriate for summer.

    Reply

  279. Oh, I also pinned the Criss Cross Swimsuit in Black. I just love that it modesty covers the chest. I have the hardest time finding a suit that doesn't leave "the girls" hanging out all over the place. While some might like that look, I prefer to save that view for my hubby! 😉

    Reply

  290. I love this stuff? So gorgeous, and some of the vintage styles are stunning! I did all three, but am guessing I need to leave three separate comments? I like them on facebook!

    Reply

  296. My favourite thing on their site that I pinned is the plum criss cross suit because it is so different and looks really flattering. Love that colour too!

    Reply

  299. I liked Albion fit and absolutely love their swimsuits and fitness clothing. I'm working out more and it would be great to have some cute workout clothes instead of my usual baggy t-shirts.

    Reply

  313. I really like the zig and zag swimsuit- love the rouched sides since it helps hide the post-baby-ness of my mid-section! 🙂 I also really like the elegance of the crisscross suit in chino. It's so sophisticated!

    Reply

  314. My favorite item was the Marigold Bikini top. I love retro bikinis because they fit my body better than any other type of swimsuit. I'm well endowed so I love that there's a cute suit available with padding and an underwire!

  425. I pinned the gown suit in poppy. I love the material it's made out of and the little ruffle near the strap gives it a nice, feminine touch.

    Reply

  447. I've discovered that I really love everything on this site! I only pinned tennis clothes, because I want a cute new outfit to play in this summer (and to practice in later on during the fall).I really love the way the skirt looks, and the colors are amazing!

    Reply

  459. I pinned the Charcoal swimsuit – I love how one-pieces are coming back in. I finally fit in them – growing up the only ones I could find had the saggy bottom … blah! After having kids, I *have* a bottom so the suits fit!

  463. My favorite is the Uline top in white and heather gray. I love it! I'm only (slightly) tan this time of year because I'm a red head. Summer is the only time of year I can get by with having white tops look ok against my usual pale skin. I would love to have it!

    Reply

  478. I already "liked" them on Facebook before this post. Does it still count? I am just getting into tennis and need to stock up on some tennis clothes.

  482. I pinned the "rainbow skirt" in white, pink, and heather gray. Seriously…I love the swimwear as well and I have a few Lake Powell and Flaming Gorge trips coming up. It's hard to narrow it down to one item 🙂

  496. I "liked" Albion Fit's fb page, pinned my favorite on pinterest, but honestly might have to do more browsing to pick my absolute favorite :), and wanted to comment about how cute Elle looks in the tennis gear! I want to take up tennis just to buy the clothes! LOL Thanks for the chance to win – I'd love a new suit!!!
