CONTEST: Win 2 Pieces From OAK!!
Wednesday April 20th 2011, 2:42 pm
Filed under: 2011,Contests

It’s contest time again, and this time around it’s Oak‘s minimalistic style that’s up for grabs.

These are pieces that are effective without being ostentatious, and so wonderful to build upon with or without layering (trust me!), Oak’s house collection is going to be your next basic go to brand.

demiCouture favorites include the Baja funnel neck maxi poncho ($112), Mesh Pieced leggings ($112), asymmetrical Black Broom skirt ($162) and the indigo drop crotch skinny jeans ($158).  There are tons of pieces in the mens and womens collections that are worth a look; be sure to check everything out.

To enter: pick your two items and put them in a comment. One entry per person (don’t be a jerk and try to squeeze two in, because both your entries will be deleted!).

You should follow @demiCouture on Twitter and fan on Facebook because it’s the right thing to do, but nobody is forcing you to get clicky.

Contest open worldwide.  Contest closes April 29, 2011. Bits and bites: winner’s choices must be a top and a bottom; no outerwear or dresses by request of Oak and must be part of their house collection. Both items must be $200 or under.




I’m loving the black Funnel Neck Poncho (in the stretch french terry, comfy!), but as it is out of stock… and spring is coming up, then I’d pick the Baja Funnel Neck Poncho. And I love the Indigo Mid Skinny Jean.

04.20.11 @ 2:52 pm

Love the Indigo mid skinny jean & Blue Marle Torque Tee!

04.20.11 @ 3:03 pm

I like the Baja funnel neck maxi poncho(xs) and the drop crotch skinny jeans!

04.20.11 @ 3:04 pm

The Black Broom skirt is so gorgeous, even if it’s a little witchy. I also like the white cropped asymmetric hem tee… I think I have a thing for asymmetry.

04.20.11 @ 3:06 pm

I really love the Black half-tank with asymmetric hem and the black combo leggings! So cool! I love Oak’s stuff, it’s always so chic

04.20.11 @ 3:14 pm

Baja funnael way rad with mesh leggings. Tall people need only apply for that one. Nice picking lady.

04.20.11 @ 3:15 pm

I absolutely LOVE the asymmetrical Black Broom skirt and faded black deep cowl tee. They are BOTH on my HAVE TO HAVE list!

04.20.11 @ 3:23 pm

I’m dying for the black combo leggings, but they’re (sadly!) out of stock. In that case, the black cowl maxi skirt looks pretty rad. For a top, I’d go with the grey linen square collar cardigan- it is begging to be worn on lazy weekends!

04.20.11 @ 3:24 pm

corpus bone stick jeans
khaki or black moto jacket!

but not together. that would be vile.

04.20.11 @ 3:24 pm

if you watch the show House…
doesn’t the half tank with asymmetric hem look like something 13 would wear?

my pick:
baja funnel neck poncho
black cowl maxi skirt

04.20.11 @ 3:25 pm

I like the acne needle crisp extra high skinny jean

and l/s asymmetric hem tee

04.20.11 @ 3:25 pm

baja funnel neck maxi poncho, and the mesh pieced legging. You can never have too many ponchos.

04.20.11 @ 3:36 pm

This is hard! But my picks are the “Black Cowl Maxi skirt” and the “Dove Grey cropped linen sweater”.

04.20.11 @ 3:56 pm

I absolutely LOVE the baja funnel neck poncho and the mesh pieced legging. They can go with everything in my wardrobe!

04.20.11 @ 3:59 pm

I’m currently coveting the Dove Gray Square Collar Linen Sweater and the Indigo Mid Skinny Jean (desperate for new jeans right now).

04.20.11 @ 4:06 pm

frikin’-eh! How does one choose!

DOVE GREY CROPPED LINEN SWEATER
BLACK HIGH SKINNY JEANS

Ok i’ve changed my combo like 15 times, so I’m just gonna pick those………..

04.20.11 @ 4:06 pm

My two favorite items from the Oak collection is the:

OAK BLACK L/SDEEP COWL TUNIC and the OAK BLACK LABEL
BLACK COMBO LEGGINGS.

/Luv from Sweden!

04.20.11 @ 4:14 pm

I’m really in love with the Black Cowl Maxi Skirt. Just the way it’s strategically sewn together to create that beautiful drapery in the front and on the back, and allowing the side area to show a bit of skin – it’s perfection! Definitely perfect for a summer day at the beach or at night.
The next piece would be the Black Box Dress, again because the drapery in the back is just amazing. Also I love how baggy yet flattery the dress is, perfect for pairing with some super tall black wedges or with some sandals for a day at the beach!

04.20.11 @ 4:20 pm

Oops, I didn’t read that it had to be a top and bottom and no dresses lol. So I’ll change my last item to the White Muslce Torque Tank because I love it’s adrogeny and how it looks very boxy from the front, but on the sides, it reveals skin, but modestly.

04.20.11 @ 4:24 pm

oh my! what a great opportunity!
i’m going for something i don’t usually like:

“OBESITY AND SPEED – CROPPED SWEATSHIRT W/ STUDS” i love this!

and “BOTKIER – BLACK AVA CROSSBODY BAG” so gorgeous!

good luck to us all!

04.20.11 @ 4:35 pm

1 – black leather tote!
2 – slouch jump suit!

04.20.11 @ 4:54 pm

Bleh! Black Combo Leggings are out of stock, so…

Black Panel Tunic
Black Combo Stretch Denim Leggings

04.20.11 @ 5:01 pm

04.20.11 @ 7:36 pm

04.20.11 @ 7:36 pm

Uniting the Dove Grey Cropped Linen Sweater and the Black Cowl Maxi Skirt would be sartorial magic. Make me the mannequin?

04.20.11 @ 7:56 pm

04.21.11 @ 7:14 am

04.21.11 @ 9:20 am

Definitely going for the Baja funnel neck maxi poncho and the Mesh Pieced leggings! Have been dying for both!

04.21.11 @ 9:20 am

zomg faded black deep cowl tee and that black broom skirt. SPRINGWEAR – HELLO

04.21.11 @ 9:24 am

So hard to choose! I looove the slouch short jumpsuit! Does that count (and as a bottom)? It’s not a dress or outerwear! Of course, I’d hardly be upset if I had to go with the mesh pieced leggings instead. For the top, I’ve really had my eye on the caviar cropped linen sweater.

(And I am now following on twitter – not because it’s the right thing to do, but because the site seems awesome.) <3

04.21.11 @ 10:20 am

-Mesh Pieced Legging (L-not sure about inseam, I’m pretty lengthy)
-Baja funnel neck poncho (O/S)

Thank you so much, this is a great thing you’re doing! OAK reaches out to people everywhere. Browsing your website on my lunchbreaks makes me feel like I’m not in St. Louis for a minute…Cheers!

04.21.11 @ 10:46 am

My faves;
- GREY LINEN SQUARE COLLAR CARDIGAN
- INDIGO MID SKINNY JEAN

xx

04.21.11 @ 11:00 am

need the Baja funnel neck maxi poncho like, NOW. the hood is perfect for keeping my crazy locks at bay and it would show just the right amount of tummy. Also dying for the mesh pieced leggings that elongate the legs and are just sheer enough so that you can’t tell how pasty my legs actually are after 6 months of winter. Welcome back, Spring!

04.21.11 @ 11:03 am

All right, here goes:

I would choose the Black linen square collar cardigan: http://www.oaknyc.com/oak-linen-cardigan-girls.html and the Black combo stretch denim legging: http://www.oaknyc.com/black-combo-stretch-denim-legging.html .

They have awesome foundation pieces for any wardrobe!

04.21.11 @ 11:42 am

My look : Top – baja funnel neck maxi poncho
Bottom – black cowl maxi skirt

Im all shaky.. the pieces look so amazingly simple, really comfy and well made. I can already feel the fabric of the BLACK COWL MAXI SKIRT on my legs, when I am riding my bike a chilly summer morning and covering my neck from the sea breeze with the BAJA FUNNEL NECK PONCHO… Man.

04.22.11 @ 5:56 pm

DROP CHINO PANT

I lived in a small town for most of my life where fashion was no where, and it was hard to express myself threw my love for fashion. Now I’ve moved to the city and am ecstatic to be able to find amazing garments like the clothing in the Oak line.

the black long sleeve terry wrap & wrap pant. please.

04.27.11 @ 1:05 pm

Drop Chino Pant ( http://www.oaknyc.com/men/new-items/oak-black-drop-chino-pant.html ) and Black Funnel Neck Poncho ( http://www.oaknyc.com/men/oak-collection/show-all/black-hooded-poncho.html )

The drop chino is cool yet effortlessly chic. It’s hard to find such a style of drop pant that allows you to look tailored but with a edge to it. The execution is top notch and would easily become a staple in my wardrobe.

The black hooded poncho is quite versatile. It can be styled with the assymetrical toggle closures closed, aswell as worn open. The oversized hood is dreamy and the overall shape gives me a comme des garcons feel.

I would absolutly love to win either of these pieces. Making the decision to 2 pieces has proven beyond difficult.

04.27.11 @ 2:19 pm

Favs are
– OAK, Black Long Sleeve Terry Wrap
– OAK, Mesh Pieced Legging
