<p>After 5 rounds pitting pairs of brands against each other and hundreds of votes cast, Battle of Brands is over and the results are in. Your favorite Shop It To Me brand is…BCBG!</p>
<p>BCBG beat out Theory with 62% of the Round 5 Championship vote.</p>
<p>There were some unexpected upsets throughout the competition, including Alexander Wang getting knocked out in the very first round and Rag &amp; Bone devastating 3.1 Phillip Lim with 80% of the vote.</p>
<p>Here’s a look back on the winners and losers from each round:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8419" title="full bracket_opt" src="http://blog.shopittome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/full-bracket_opt.PNG" alt="full bracket_opt" width="450" height="333" /></p>
<p>Brands weren’t the only winners – Shop It To Me members also got in on the action by winning Marc by Marc Jacobs prizes after each round! Congratulations to our very own Trendsetter Jaime of <a href="http://laviejaime.blogspot.com" target="_blank">La Vie J’aime</a>, who won a Marc by Marc Jacobs key chain in Round 4.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a fan of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marc Jacobs, I couldn&#8217;t be more excited about this win!” she told us. “Since I can&#8217;t always afford MJ full price, I look forward to my Shop It To Me email(s) to tell me when some fabulous MJ items go on sale. Thanks again!&#8221;</p>
<p>The Marc by Marc Jacobs wristlet went to our Round 5 winner Marci C., who is delighted to have won. Meet both of our lovely Round 4 and Round 5 winners:</p>

<p>Congratulations to Jasmine L., who won a Marc by Marc Jacobs umbrella in Round 4 of Battle of the Brands!</p>
<p>Jasmine is a preschool teacher right here in the San Francisco area and as it turns out, she&#8217;s also a big Marc by Marc Jacobs fan.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll literally wear anything from [Marc by Marc Jacobs], from the men&#8217;s cardigans to the accessories!&#8221; she said. &#8220;Shop It To Me always finds me the best deals on everything and finds me items that I haven&#8217;t even seen through my own shopping yet.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are two rounds of Battle of the Brands left, so two more chances to  win Marc by Marc Jacobs accessories of your own. Check back Monday and vote on your favorite brands to enter &#8211; we&#8217;re down to the Final Four!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, I posed the question of whether Alice &amp; Olivia or Elizabeth and James should win Battle of the Brands Round 2. Alice &amp; Olivia won and is now in nearly a dead heat with Theory as we&#8217;re in the middle of <a href="http://blog.shopittome.com/2009/09/28/battle-of-the-brands-round-3-win-marc-by-marc-jacobs-swag/" target="_blank">Round 3</a>.</p>
<p>If I needed a standout dress for a party, I’d have to pick Alice and Olivia. (The fiery red dress in the picture below? Yes please!) But if my wardrobe had to solely exist on one brand or the other, I’d go with Theory. There’s no denying they’re both hot:</p>

<p>The winner advances to the Final Four. <a href="http://bit.ly/K4qVD" target="_blank">What brand deserves the spot</a>?</p>

<p>They’re alike in a lot of ways – both feminine, both have a tendency toward mini dresses, and both are go-to brands for shaking a tail feather. They even sound similar – Some Name &amp; Some Other Name!</p>
<p>The uptown girly side of me is all, “Alice &amp; Olivia, totes” but the downtown hip side screams, “Elizabeth and James!”</p>
<p>What brand deserves to win?</p>
