I’m really excited about today’s post. Like stupid excited. It’s not every day IĀ get to collaborate with a true kindred spirit, who shares so many of myĀ passions, and get to give a little something to all of my readers.Ā I can’t wait for you guys to meet Nikki, owner and proprietress of Nicole Elaine Vintage.
As most of you know, last week IĀ partnered with EtsyĀ to celebrate small business owners and share my thoughts about the importance of shopping small.Ā Since it’s no fun to celebrate alone, weĀ offered 1 lucky reader the chance to win $100 AUD gift card to spend at an Etsy shop of their choice!
As a self-proclaimed vintage huntress who prefers to wear clothes older than herself,Ā I’m a huge fan of “shopping small” (it kinds of comes with the vintage territory). So, it’s no surprise I’m a frequent visitor of Etsy, which is a veritable treasure trove of vintage and handmade goodiesĀ that I would like to find their way into my home and into my closet.

Happy September, everyone! Last month, I hosted an amazing giveaway in collaboration with GreaterGoodsVintage,Ā which combinedĀ vintage AND giving something back to the greater good.Ā Owned and run by Mikala, GreaterGoodsVintage is both a vintage shop andĀ a platform to raise money and awareness for charities around the globe.Ā GreaterGoodsĀ truly lives up to it’s name –Ā 10% of every sale through herĀ Etsy shop goes to charity (always a non-religious, non-government affiliated group). Mikala also switches every few months to a different group, after ensuring theyĀ have traceable success ratings.Ā
Do you know what I love the most about blogging? Getting to meet so many fabulous women around the world – and even some right in my own backyard – who share the same love and frenzy for fashion. This community of people who I likely never would have met otherwise. Well, when Sarah of Ask SarahĀ contacted me about her amazing idea to DIYĀ a pair of Whipped Cream with a Cherry on Top Shoes, I was beyond excited to see these cherrylicious beautiesĀ come to fruitionĀ (pun intended). nd then she put the cherry on top of the proverbial ballet flat cake,Ā andĀ made…
I have finally returned from my travels around Middle Earth! It was an absolutely amazing trip and I’m brimming over with the things we saw and the places we visited. As fun as traveling is though, it’s always nice to come home and see our furry dudes and hug the entirety of my closet like an old friend. It’s also nice to get back to a regular blogging schedule again, which I was surprised by how much IĀ missed.
