21 September 2010

Dress: H&M. Bag: Courtesy of Rebecca Minkoff. Shoes: Aldo —> get them here. Hat: Trash & Vaudeville. Rings: Random NY shop and gift. Nails: Aruba Blue – Essie. Lips: Red – MAC

Yea it’s pic heavy tonight but what the f**k because I LOVE this dress!!!!!
So much so that I’m giving one away to you lucky sods. Yes. Really.
I almost passed out when I saw it pop up on Stockholm Street Style a few weeks ago (it was described as vintage but I KNEW it couldn’t be because it was IDENTICAL to this one I already have). So from then on – the hunt started.
A lovely reader sent me one so I ended up with two so I’m passing on one of them to you.
HOW TO WIN:
This giveaway is open to my GOOGLE READERS ONLY to say thanks for following me on there. So scroll up and click “Follow” above my shopping bag logo and your profile pic will pop up on the side with all the others.
I’ll pick a winner randomly this Saturday 6pm EST. Gives me a chance to take a peak through some of your profiles (which um….I’ve already started doing). I’ll ship world wide.
Dress size offered: UK size 12 (equivalent to US 8) – I like floaty dresses oversized for maximum errr floaty factor. You need this dress!!
Category: animal print, leopard print, maxi, maxi dress

    Ohh Karen… I woudl not be original, the dress is stunning.
    But there’s another issue. I never liked idea of wearing maxi dress until I saw how you rock it. You inspired me to get one but I still looking for a perfect one. It’s pity that I didn’t find this pick in Polish H&M.

  105. Lolitta says:

    I’m a leopard junkie! I bought a short sleeve leopard maxi from H&M a cpl of weeks ago, got it home and it was just too big for me to consider keeping it. Returned it and they didn’t have the size that I really needed so I grudgingly handed it over and got my money back 🙁 This dress is the same size I needed so, pretty please send it my way:) *crossing fingers, toes & eyes!*

  106. Karen says:

    I tell you. This is one of my fave long dresses at the moment.

    I’m really glad to offer this to one of you guys. Thank you for following.

  138. Emm says:

    i just saw this post now and it stopped me in my tracks.
    I’m a vintage seller (the reason i started me blog in the first place) and before winter i sold a leopard print maxi dress which was amazing and now i really regret letting it go =(

    so fingers crossed for me getting another chance! i love the sheerness of this design and also that its a bit darker than normal leopard print
    meeeeow
