My first giveaway
I am so very excited to the first giveaway on Embracing Style! Ila Security has kindly sponsored an ila DUSK Personal Alarm to be given away to one of my lovely readers! The ila DUSK Personal Alarm is a nifty gadget that can be used as a bag charm or key ring and when pulled emits a very loud sound at 130db. Personally I have always planned on buying something that would help me if I ever got into an unfortunate situation. I haven’t come across a product like this before would be keen on buying one. Why? Because it’s discreet with a stylish design and is easy to use.
All you have to do to enter is:
- Leave a comment on this post saying what you think of the ila DUSK Personal Alarm.
It’s that easy. Anyone can enter and I will choose the winner randomly. Giveaway ends on Thursday 2 September and winner will be announced on 3 September 2010. Good luck!
On another note, the lovely Lauren has interviewed me and you can read it here. Also, Diana has kindly included a list of things I like here and I was included in the Hypeed Day at the Beach feature here. Needless to say this week has been very exciting for me thus far! Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read and comment on my blog. I truly appreciate it! One last thing, if you would like to nominate me for the South African Blog Awards you can do so by clicking here. Nominations close on Friday!

I think it’s an awesome and very useful device. And super chic, too!

This is a cool device, I’ve always wanted a stun gun because I use public transport and I don’t live in the safest of areas. but this is even better…. no one would suspect what it is and it would look fabulous with any outfit..lol..!!
WOW! I have never seen these before! I would definitely buy one!
I like it, its cool and descret and if it can stop you getting mugged or beateN up at 2am when you walk home from a late shift it can only be a good thing!
mm.. one more excuse for me to shop!
loving the details

I’ve seen it on TV once and I thought it was such a useful device. Thanks for remind me of it! I need one!
Nice gadget! Would be interesting if it were cordless!!!
Those are incredible giveaways, I love the cute designs! I’m always on the look-out for great key-rings, so even if I don’t get a giveaway, tell me where I can get some
You are making online waves – am very impressed, but with the effort you put in, I’m going to make sure I keep reading!
CUTEEE
This is a great giveaway! Every one should carry one.
That’s pretty awesome. I’m a college student who often has to wander around campus at night and that would be the perfect for me!
Great giveaway!! I also nominated you for the award
I’m sure you’ll win!
I would absolutely love one of these! Every night when I get out (at midnight) I have to walk from the ER to my car (about .5 miles) and this would come in handy (and also make me less of a scaredy cat!)

Thanks for the great giveaway. I would give this to my wife.
I absolutely love it. With a teenage daughter that is now driving and working, I would feel a lot safer if she had one of these.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter my name.
My daughter loves the designs too.
Cool and unique giveaway – the Cherry Blossom design is so cute. I like how practical and discreet it is. Perfect for late night runs to the mall or grocery store.
Ahh I’ve seriously read about these before! They’re such a good idea. Nobody wants a weapon they use for protection turned against them so this is perfect!
Hey Ant,
Love it…what a cool concept!!!I would love something that protective when your in a dangerous situation and then doubles as a bag charm….Great accessory!

Stylish and discreet indeed!
Hi Anthea!
Congrats for all the features… you deserved it!
Although I hope nobody here will be in the need to use it, I think the ila DUSK Personal Alarm is a good way to be safer…

lovely giveaway x
I love the design, specially when is aplied to a usefull device.
kisses!
cute blog.
i think the alarm is a great idea. safety is everything.
i like the designs too.

so dope! its really great. i love rsa but its got some naughty lil bugger and every woman could use an ila dusk personal alarm.
Oh wow, I love the designs and for once a personal security alarm that doesn’t tell you what it is by its nasty looking exterior!
Its trendy and doesn’t look like a weapon……which could be to your disadvantage in the event of an attack. would love to own one because i drive alone most of the time.
I think the ila DUSK Personal Alarm is a great initiative!!! Attackers would never suspect any danger because it looks too pretty. Like the saying goes, “dynamite comes in small packages”
I carry pepper spray in my bag, but i know that if i’m caught in a tricky situation, i’ll probably panic and spray myself! That’s why i won’t even think of getting a stunt-gun!
. This little stylish gadget would be the perfect, not to mention SAFEST, little companion for me..hint hint..:)
I love the concept – the fact that it’s trendy is an added bonus. I particularly like the black ‘n white one. It looks like a trendy piece of jewellery but with added benefit.
I like!!! It’s so handy and also easy to carry. In this dangerous times I think this would be a good defense tool. Hope I win!:) hehe
Personal Alarm = awesome idea and they look cool to boot!
I need one these so badly! Too cute
I think a little cute tool like this could really come in handy. One tends to be a bit paranoid nowadays, never knowing what’s lurking around the next corner. And for someone like me, it would definitely be an asset.
Wish I’d known about it a long time ago!
(oh, and it’s great that it can fit in my pocket so i won’t have to fuss around for it in the jungle I like to call my handbag…)
