Yeah yeah, it's rainy in London today. But the sun WILL come out eventually...and our Australian friends are enjoying it already (as we keep seeing from their gorgeous sunny day outfits which we're not jealous of AT ALL).
So we're giving away a pair of super stylish Polaroid sunglasses. Yey!
We let you choose which Heritage style we should give away from two pairs (as modelled by, errr, me)....
And your tweets showed a clear winner, the retro cat eye pair! This frame - 'Marilyn' - has been re-released as part of Polaroid's 75th anniversary Heritage Collection...that's a long time they've been making sunnies. And yes, this design was orginally released in the 1950s!
So! For a chance to win this fabby pair just retweet this tweet by 1pm tomorrow (GMT - Thursday 8th of March 2012) and make sure you're following @WIWT and @PolaroidSun on Twitter. We'll announce the random winner tomorrow at 1pm.
Good luck!

Our friends at Vodafone VIP kindly gave us three of the much sought after Mulberry London Fashion Week goodie bags for a comp here on WIWT. And if that wasn't good enough, they chucked a £500 Jaeger voucher into each one. Amazing, huh?
Understandably, you wanted the prizes! We had loads of #VVIP tweets and 260 outfits were entered into the comp.
But who won?
It's JennyW
It's Ailbhe in a dress I can't believe is from Primark!
It's MissLee
Congrats ladies! I'll be in touch later today asking for your postal address - you'll have to upload your Jaeger outfits so we can all envy you!
Thanks everyone for entering :)

Wondering why Vodafone VIP are being so kind to us WIWT lot? Well Vodafone VIP is all about rewards. All Vodafone customers can sign up to Vodafone VIP to access exclusive offers and competitions across fashion, festivals and Formula 1. It's their way of giving something back to their customers.
As you are probably well aware from my tweets, videos and blog posts, I've just had an AMAZING time at London Fashion Week thanks to our fashion forward friends at Vodafone VIP.
But whilst we may be back to 'normal clothes' and hanging around in places that aren't exclusively Somerset House, the LFW love needn't be over just yet. Not when there's prizes to be had!
Our friends at Vodafone VIP have kindly given us three of the much sought after Mulberry London Fashion Week goodie bags (I think they're one of the best designs yet)... and if they're not a good enough prize for ya, they've chucked a £500 Jaeger voucher into each one. Amazing, huh?
And yes, this is a prize boys can enjoy too. Jaeger menswear is beyond hot.
To win one of these THREE amazing prizes, you just have to upload an outfit to WIWT and tag it as 'A VVIP Competition Entry' (you'll find that tag at the top of the drop down choice of situation tags).
One winner will be drawn at random from ALL the entries, one winner will be the outfit with the most gold stars and the final winner will be the outfit that the WIWT team deem to be the most stylin'.
You have until midnight on Monday the 5th of March to enter and you can enter every day if you wish! Ya know, if you want to up your chances and all. If you tweet a link to your outfit and include the #VVIP hashtag then you'll also get an extra name in the hat.

The small but important small print
We will only accept entries uploaded between Tuesday the 28th of February 2012 and 11.59 pm on Monday the 5th of March 2012. The person with the most gold stars at 11.59 pm on Monday the 5th of March will be deemed one of the winners, if there is a tie then the WIWT team will choose their favourite outfit from the two (or more) tied outfits and choose the winner this way. The same user cannot win more than one prize, so the top outfit in terms of stars and the top outfit in terms of style (as judged by the WIWT editorial team) will not be entered into the random prize draw. There is no cash alternative to the prize. The winners will be announced on the blog and via email (using the email address they registered with). The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered in to.To celebrate all the fab hairstyes we've been enjoying at London Fashion Week, we've teamed up with celebrity hairdresser Mark Hill to allow five of you lucky peeps to have your very own great hair days. Bad hair days - be gone!
We've got FIVE goody bags to give away, each containing everything you need for big, gorgeous, glamourous hair. You'll also get a Team Rapunzel tee so that everyone knows you're celebrating just how fab your 'do' is.
To win one of these fab #TeamRapunzel goody bags from Mark Hill all you have to do is RT this tweet and follow @WIWT and @MarkHillHair on Twitter. It really is that simple!
Five winners will be chosen at random from all the eligible RTs at 6pm on Friday the 24th of February.
Good luck! xxx
London Fashion Week is just around the corner, but if you're not fashion press, a famous person's daughter or an ex member of Girls Aloud - you may be wondering how you can possibly get a part of the action.
Well our friends at Vita Coco have very kindly given us two tickets to Carlotta Actis Barone's AW12 LFW show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout this Saturday night - and we want you and a friend to enjoy them!
You can see pics from some of Carlotta's previous shows over on Vogue.com here and here. But as you'll see from these runway shots from her previous collections, you'll be in for quite the visual treat if you're the lucky winner!
Italian born, Carlotta is one of our very fave up and coming designers who shows in London. You'll have a FABULOUS time.
The show is at 7pm this Saturday (Feb 18th) so make sure you can make it if you're gonna enter.
And make sure to stock up on Vita Coco's sensationally yummy coconut water if you're heading to LFW this season, it's the fashion forward way to rehydrate after those long days (and...errr...one too many glasses of champagne).
For your chance to win the LFW tickets, just RT this tweet. Make sure you're following us too!
Good luck, the comp closes at 9pm tomorrow - Wednesday 15th Feb 2012. See it as a belated Valentine's Day present ;)
Wowzers, you lot wanted that Gorgeous Couture dress huh?
Well there's good Christmas Eve Eve news for one of you, we numbered every entry and the clever robot at Random.org tells us the winner is...
Woo!
Maybe Ellacopter is already getting ready for New Year's Eve in this pic? Well now you have the perfect dress!
Thanks everyone for playing...and thanks Gorgeous Couture for the gorgeous prize.
Merry Christmas...amd a Happy New Year! xxx
Are you allowed to talk about New Year's Eve before Christmas is out the way? We're not sure. But as exciting as presents and food and booze are on Christmas day (and, errr, family time!), we don't get THAT excited about what we're gonna wear on the 25th. As long as we've got a festive jumper, a paper hat and an elasticated waistband then we're happy. New Year's Eve is when we get glam. You can't ring in a new year without looking suitably fabulous.
So who do you turn to if you want to ensure a show stopping dress?
Gorgeous Couture, of course.
Gorgeous Couture is exactly that...gorgeous couture. And we want to ensure one of you lucky ladies has the best New Year's Eve ever by sending you to the ball in a made to measure Gorgeous Couture dress. This ain't no off the peg shiz, this dress will be made for YOU.
It's hard to overstate how special a Gorgeous Couture dress will make you feel, I know I'll be wearing The Amelia on New Year's Eve, so how can you get your hands on your own tailor made super sexy creation?
Upload ANY outfit and use the situation tags to tag it as 'Gorgeous Couture Competition' before 2pm on Friday the 23rd of December. We'll then choose one winner at random to win their made to measure Gorgeous Couture dress in time for New Year's Eve.
The winner will be announced once the competition closes on Friday the 23rd, so there'll be good news for one of you in time for Christmas!
Boys, feel free to enter too...it could be the perfect last minute pressie for a loved one!
The lucky winner will be able to choose any dress up to value of £250 and can custom choose the colour and sizing. Have a perve over the kind of dresses you'll be choosing between if you win here.
As long as you get your sizing details back to us promptly when we announce you've won, you'll have your dress in time for New Year's Eve - woop!
Good luck! This might be our greatest prize yet...
