Quite a while ago, well before Christmas in fact, Super Kawaii Mama aka Candice DeVille had the most awesome vintage Christmas competition ever.
It was her Perfect Vintage Christmas Competition and I made a video entry (you can watch it here). And guess what? After voting on a semi finalists… I won! HOW EXCITING IS THAT?!
Firstly I want to say a huuuuge thank you to Candice for holding the competition, I really enjoyed making the video and omg prizes!
Firstly a 30 Pound gift voucher from Notorious Kitsch!
I had SO much fun picking out everything from Notorious Kitsch, there were just so many things on their website that I couldn’t decide :O
-I Married A Monster From Outer Space greeting card Prize number 2 was a swimsuit from For Luna!They make the most beautiful swim suits I’ve ever seen. They are all retro themed and have really flattering cuts. One thing that I *really* liked was that you can choose some of the designs to fit your bra cup size. As a girl who is slim but *cough*curvy*cough* I have a lot of trouble finding swim suits that well… fit. After chatting to Vicki about which style would suit my figure the best as well as be very supportive I picked one out 😀 This is what arrived at my door… How cute is the packaging?! And this is the swim suit, you can see it on the site here. It’s made of quite thick material and it has boning in the sides to give you a really nice shape. Okokokokok after much debating I decided to post some pictures of me actually in it.. but I’m completely self conscious so be nice ok! I normally don’t even leave the house without stockings and a cardigan so this is quite out of the ordinary! I’m also a little paranoid that the photos will end up somewhere I don’t want so extra water marks today sorry! Hahaha so pasty and white, I love being pale! Epic tanning fail= What you don’t check your false lashes while you’re swimming too? James played with the colours here to make it look really pretty! How cool does my hair look here? Next time I want to order this one and feed my leopard print obsession some more! Last but definitely not least I got a $100 gift voucher from Blue Velvet Vintage.I had a huge amount of fun trying to decide what to choose from Blue Velvet Vintage, there were so many pretty things on the site that I came very close to spending a lot of my own money too *_* So what did I get? First I got this super cute bracelet by Sarah Coventry. Unfortunately a couple of the rhinestones had fallen off in transit but they were very easily fixed and Theresa was extremely apologetic. Anyway it looks so pretty on! The other item I got was this super awesome purple pleated skirt from the 1950’s! It was way too long on me so I took it up around 10 inches very carefully and taadaa: Too cute right? Special thank you goes out to Super Kawaii Mama for being incredibly awesome and holding this competition! LOVE. What do you guys think? Did I pick well? What would you have gotten for your vintage christmas prize? |
