If you are lucky all the pieces already exist.

Adding new CSS rules

// Core variables and mixins
@import "bootstrap/variables";
@import "bootstrap/mixins";

/*
* Signin Controller css Manifest
*/
@import "components/signin";
            

// Signin module
// -------------------------------------------------------------

.signin-module {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  padding: $l-space 0;
  max-width: 860px;

  ol {
    padding-right: 40px;
  }

  ol li {
    padding-bottom: 5px;
  }

  .action {
    margin-top: 10px;
    width: 160px;
  }

  .action-bottom {
    .push {
      height: 25px;
    }
    .btn {
      width: 160px;
      position: absolute;
      bottom: 0;
    }
  }

  .divided {
    position: relative;
  }
}

// Responsive
// For Signin module
// -------------------------------------------------------------

/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .signin-module .action-bottom {
    .push {
      height: 0;
    }
    .btn {
      margin-bottom: $l-space;
      width: 160px;
      position: relative;
      bottom: auto;
    }
  }
}
            

The case for inline CSS

- content_for :css do
:css
  .giftcard-module {
    margin-top: 30px
  }

  .giftcard-module [class*="span"].active .inner,
  .giftcard-module [class*="span"]:hover .inner {
    background-color: #fadad2;
  }

  .giftcard-module .inner {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 20px 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 1px solid transparent;
  }

  .giftcard-module .inner.is-focus {
    outline: 1px dotted #333;
    /* Webkit */
    outline: 5px auto -webkit-focus-ring-color;
    outline-offset: -2px;
  }

  .giftcard-module p.body {
    margin-bottom: 0;
  }

  .giftcard-module img {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
  }

  .how-it-works-module {
    margin-top: 40px;
  }

  .how-it-works-module .thumbnails.thumbnails-ruled .thumbnail .inner {
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
  }

  .hero-sidekick {
    margin: 30px auto;
    width: 866px;
    height: 577px;
    background-image: url(/assets/giftcard/hero.jpg);
  }

  .hero-sidekick .hero-heading {
    position: absolute;
    left: 40px;
    bottom: auto;
    top: 270px;
    max-width: 470px;
  }

            

Cases for inline CSS

• As non-reusable customization layer
• For low traffic page which wouldn't benifit greatly from caching CSS rules
• Fewer http request for an external css files
• Tightly coupled to markup for easy archiving
• No risk of breaking other page layouts

Down of inline CSS

• It isn't cached
• No SASS or SASS variables
• May lead to more css rules and inconsistencies
