In Paris, the winners get to check out the Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2016 Swarovski Jewelry Collection; hang with Nathalie Colin, Swarovski’s Worldwide Creative Director, at her studio, and interview her for their blogs. How fabulous is that!!

And that’s not it: the winners will be Swarovski India’s official bloggers for 6 months, starting August 2015.

So, what are you waiting for, ladies? Click that #OOTD and get started already!

How can I participate?:
It’s super easy!:
** CLick a stunning #OOTD photo or “Outfit Of The Day” photo and/or shoot a very short, entertaining video (starring you in your #OOTD, obvs)!
** Choose between Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore as “your” city. (You will need to attend an event in one of these cities.)

Where do I send my entry?:
Facebook, DUH. Or Instagram! We like Twitter too. And, of course – the last resort – good old email!
** You can apply right here!
** Post your photo as a comment on the POPxo Facebook Page – you MUST use hashtag #StyleYourWayToParis AND remember to mention either #DELHI, #MUMBAI or #BANGALORE for a valid entry
** Upload a photo on your timeline (with #StyleYourWayToParis, of course). Get LOTS of friends to like, comment and share! Make sure your Facebook privacy setting is set to public for this photo – else we won’t be able to see it!
** If your Instagram setting is public, upload your photo with #StyleYourWayToParis. Likes and comments from your friends will help. Flipside, there’s no way for us to see the pic if your profile ain’t public. :-( (Don’t worry, read on!)
** Ditto for Twitter! If your setting is public, add your photo with – you know it already – #StyleYourWayToParis! Retweets will improve your chances. (And probably get you more followers too!)
** And if none of this floats your boat, just email your entry to contact@styleyourwaytoparis.com! – with the subject line – you guessed it! – #StyleYourWayToParis
** Actually, just to be on the safe side, send us an email with a link to your posts on FB, Twitter and Insta anyway!. Come on – it’s almost zero effort, you can do it!
** BTW, tagging #SwarovskiIndia @Swarovski and @POPxodaily is always a good idea!

OMG, how long do I have to do all of this?:
Not THAT long! The entries should reach us by midnight of 10 July 2015 (IST) .

Can ANYONE participate?:
