Outfit Post and a Special Announcement
Apr 18, 2011 by Violet
Before I get into the special outfit post of the day I just wanted to put in a little announcement. I’ve been nominated for the Sydney Writer’s Centre “Best Australian Blogs Competition”! Very exciting :D I’m not sure the category I’m up for but as well as the regular awards I’ve been nominated for the People’s Choice Award!
If you would like to vote in the awards (not just for me, there are lots of other amazing bloggers nominated too) just click the banner below to be taken to the form. If you want to vote for me I’m on the 3rd page of blogs under V for Violet ^_^
So yeah I just wanted to say thank you to all of you reading this because when I started this blog years ago I had no idea the awesome places it would take me or the wonderful people I would meet, so THANK YOU for reading!!!
| Now on to today’s outfit post! This is a special version of this too because the outfit was a huge surprise ^_^ You remember last year when I held the One Day in Paradise competition for their 1 year anniversary? I found a beautiful Jesus Diamate dress and debated with you guys in the comments and on Twitter whether I should buy it. Well last week a package turned up in my letterbox. Turns out Marie (who is the incredibly sweet owner of One Day in Paradise) sent it to me as a present *_*
I just about had a heart attack when I opened the box!!
So ruffly and pretty!
I wore this outfit to meet Thomas and Sakie who are lovely bloggers from Japan. So happy because I finally got an excuse to try Max Brenner too XD Photos of that to come in the next edition of snapshots.
This is the kind of dress you just want to spin in XD
Totally love it, can’t wait to try out different ways to coordinate it!
One Day in Paradise info:
Shop is located at Visage n Vice Boutique, 248 Johnston Street, Fitzroy, Victoria.
Open Fridays 11am-7pm and Saturdays 11am-6pm or by appointment. Shop online anytime.
One Day in Paradise, Visage n Vice Boutique and Petticoats and Gallantry also do various markets and stalls so please check their websites for more information on time and dates.
A big thank you goes to Laura from Petticoats and Gallantry for including the leopard print shower cap I had my eye on at the store too :D Showering in style=win! Thank you girls!!
Now back to video editing for me :D |
Ah! Congratulations on… everything! <3
Thank you so much!!
Congrats!!
And – that dress is SO flattering! Seriously – it makes you look so slim (I know you ARE slim already, it just accentuates your lovely figure).
How generous of Marie to send it to you! :-D
:D I am a very lucky girl!! And thank you so much about the dress, it is really slimming. I usually avoid dresses of this shape but now I’ve seen one on my I want more XD
Hey honey, I voted for you i wish you all the luck!! Also i would like to know if u know a good place to get blank fake nails? Cause im forever looking on ebay but i can only find tips not the full fake nails.
Anyway honey i hope all goes well and u win!
Love Saku
Thank you so much! I think we’ve had this conversation a couple of times on Twitter XD I just buy mine from various ebay sellers depending on who has them in stock. Sometimes I bulk order via shopping service from China. If you’re desperate just buy the full covers from Priceline, more expensive but quicker :)
I love your blog Violet!
I read it all time – every note.
I add u to my fav blog’s!
