It was the year 2010. Wintry weather seemed to infinitely inundate the weekly forecasts. “Have I worn every single thing in my cold weather clothing collection?” you cried in vain. Just then, the clouds of cuteness parted to reveal… What was that? Could it have been? Yes—it was the Cabin Fever Sale!
Well, it’s 2011, and our panacea for the snowy season is back and better than ever. That’s right—the Cabin Fever Sale is on! Just like last time, you can snag a surfeit of styles at 70% off. Did you just faint? Then, sniff those smelling salts, because there’s another surprise in store for you…
As you’re browsing through a plethora of products, filling your shopping bag with adorable items like the Photobooth Kisses Dress, Documentary Star Jacket, and Rose at Dusk Skirt, you just might stumble across the mug of a lovable li’l pug. Don’t be alarmed — that’s just our mascot, Winston!
Your doggie sighting could lead to more than an appreciation for pugs — it could win you a gift certificate! Here’s how to play the Where Is Winston Contest:

Do we have to found them all or with just one it’s enough?
Hi, Flora!
Winston is only hiding on one item’s page, so you just have to tell us which one that is. :)
I found Winston and e-mailed whereiswinston@modcloth.com, but I got a “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)” e-mail back. I double-checked, tried again and same result. :(
I found Winston, but the email whereiswinston@modcloth.com sends back Delivery Status Notification (Failure).
I found Winston but I got a kick back when I tried to send the email! :( I sent it to: whereiswinston@modcloth.com
I found Winston, but when I sent an email telling you where I found him, it was returned to me- what should I do?!
I had the same issue — my email won’t go through and I’ve tried 2 different accounts
Same story as everyone else, got a delivery failure.
Likewise! Delivery failure.
I’ve found him, so where should i email the answer to ?
Hi, everyone!
We have our tech team on it right now, and the problem should be fixed within a few minutes! If it’s still not working in 5, let us know. :)
Thanks!

Yeah, the email got sent back for me too… Also, how do I click ADD TO BAG without being directed to this page? I want to purchase the item on the same that Winston is on but the ADD TO BAG button doesn’t work
Thanks, Natalie B.! I think my email went thru this time because I didn’t get a failure reply. Thanks for the quick fix.
I found Winston too! Do we need to provide any other info in the email aside from which item page he’s on?
I didn’t find Winston, but I did find lots of style inspiration. Have three dresses and the most adorable coat coming my way. Thanks ModCloth!
Sounds like the Cabin Fever Sale was fun for you, even without Winston. :) Glad you got to snag some great styles, Rebecca Jean!
Good luck to everyone who found him. I just spent the last two hours going through every single item on the sale page and didn’t see him. Do you have to do quick view or something? ; A ;
Hey, Jen!
Try waiting a few moments for the pages to load. Winston is hiding out on a product page, so you won’t see him in an item’s Quick View! He chose his secret spot well – after all, he is a precocious li’l pug! :)

i’ve been coveting the “oh what a paisley it was” scarf for quite some time now. i finally ordered it, on sale :) so stoked
Haha, I was a little dumb and accidentally sent my entry before finishing my contact info. Would I be able to send another, fully complete entry, or am I out of luck this time?
Hi, Erin!
You can still send a completed entry with all your contact information. :)
-Natalie B.
Any clues? I’ve looked and added over 200 items to my bag (50 at a time) and can’t find him anywhere!
So no exchanges? Not even if you just want a different size?
I’m wondering about the contact info part–isn’t the email technically contact info? Did I need to include a physical address or a phone number or something?
Hello! I just spent the last three hours searching on quick view, but then I saw your previous comment. I was wondering, is he on a ‘Cabin Fever Sale’ item?
hey what contact info do we need? i dont want to send too little or too much or not the right thing!
I started looking in the New Arrivals until I found out that Winston IS IN THE CABIN FEVER SALES. Don’t check the New Arrivals! You’ll be searching forever if you do.
Hi, everyone!
I just wanted to answer the questions regarding what contact information we need to be included in your entries. The required info is: your full name and preferred email address (AKA the email address you’d like us to contact you at if you win).
Thanks!
-Natalie B.
Like others, I’ve gone through EVERY Cabin Fever Sale item and still didn’t see Winston…
Can someone at least tell me what I’m looking for? Like, do I have to click on product pictures? Add items to my bag? Look at the details?
Is this still going on? I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’ve looked at each and every page on the cabin fever sale and can’t find it.
Hi, everyone!
He’s there, we promise! :) Winston is hidden among the Cabin Fever Sale styles, and he looks just like the li’l pug at the end of the blog post above.
-Natalie B.
I just spent my entire work day looking for Winston. I searched every single page, maximizing every photo, expanding every “+ show more details” and “view all” button, closing every “Oh no!” box, and scrutinizing every recommendation photo. It must have been on one of the pages that had no review section or perhaps I accidentally skipped that one item’s page Winston was hiding on. At least the boss is out of town this week…
what time does modcloth post him
Beautiful clothing! And so cheap! Can’t wait to get paid! x http://www.lostinthehaze.com
modcloth please delete the comment above ruining the contest! I just spent a long time trying to find it and I don’t want my hard work to be wasted!
Hi Emily, Sydney, and Maddi!
We have deleted the comment. So sorry about that!
will he be anywhere on the page or in place of the picture.
I saw him a while ago before I saw my email thinking it was a product. oh dear!
and I thought I saw him on the product list among other products while I just scanning through.
sorry about that, i thought i was supposed to post here, i kinda skimmed the page and should have read the whole thing.
I’m still getting my email returned with a failure instantly. Is there another way to send in an entry?
Nevermind, my email program was putting a space in front of the email address. :p
Quick question: is it possible that he will be in the product reviews as well, or under “show more details”? Just trying to narrow down the searching spots, if possible :)
Wow! I found it in the first three minutes. Glad it didn’t take hours :)
Is the contest still running? I looked through all of the items last night and couldn’t find Winston.
what page is winston on ?
I found a pug, but I’m not sure if it’s Winston or not. I hope that Winston is the only pug that is hiding at the Cabin Fever sale.
How long can we search for Winston to have a chance to win?
Ok, this is insane, I spent soooooo long trying to find that pug and no luck, in my previous comment (weeks ago), I said I spent 3 hours trying to find him, and nothing. I just hope Modcloth takes this contest down since the sale is over….
Way to ruin it.
i sincerely hope someone at modcloth takes this down. this is ridiculous. he IS there, not WAS, and it’s not fair to those of us who searched for him to have the secret given out so easily.
