shabby apple dress giveaway!!!

i am so super excited to offer you guys a chance to win this adorable dress from shabby apple!!! i am loving the red and white stripes and can already picture one of you lucky gals wearing it with a big floppy hat, cute brown sandals, and carrying a tote bag around the farmer's market! i know, really specific, huh? anyway, please head over to shabby apple and check out their other dresses too, as well as the many other awesome pieces they have to offer. because not only do you have a chance to win this dress, but you can also get 10% off anything in the store by using the code 'broadway10off' in the next 30 days! i know, right? awesome.

and please make sure you also read about their effort to fight global poverty. shabby apple has partnered with unitus to help women in india have access to financial services to support their families. 5% of their net sales go to this organization and each dress you buy comes with a tag sharing a success story. this is something that is very dear to my heart. because if women have a way to support themselves and their children, they can overcome so many things. it's women helping women, and that is pretty special :)

what i wore on january 22, 2010.....

one year ago today i nervously made my inaugural off of broadway blog post. it was with sweaty palms that i first hit the 'publish post' button and i never would have thought that a mere 365 days later i'd be where i am right now with so many new friends. it's been a super fun journey, but it's all thanks to you guys! it's not sappy, it's true. what the heck would i be doing if i didn't have all of you reading each day? wearing sweats and being the creepy girl who stalks your blogs and never leaves comments because she's too shy and drinks too much, that's where i'd be!!!! but i digresssssssssss. thanks for the memories! now let's make more, shall we?

and the winner of the sofa purse is nicole of employed panache!!! thanks so much to all of you for entering and reading and wearing clothes and blogging and being awesome :)

your giveaway this time is this lovely yarn necklace by felix & jayne! i have some of their things in my shop and they sell like hotcakes around here. it's a really unique piece and i don't think you'd be disappointed to win! and of course you'll be getting a fab mix cd from me with some of my favorite 80s tunes. did you notice how i coordinated the cd with the stitching in the necklace? huh? yeah, i notice these things. and well there may be some other little fun secret things that go along with it that only the winner will know about. i like surprises. i take that back, i hate surprises but i love giving things away to people.

so how do you enter, you ask? well this one is a bit different. i have a wall in my house where i hang up postcards from my travels and the travels of friends and family. so the deal is that in order to enter the giveaway you have to send me a postcard!!! i'd love to have one from your hometown but one from your favorite place will work too. just write on the card what you love about the place that's on the front. you have until june 17 (postmarked) to enter. if you plan on sending me one, please comment below so i know about how many to expect in the next week. international readers are more than welcome to enter!! you most def need to let me know if you plan to enter as i know that mail takes an excruciating amount of time and i'll either wait to receive your postcard or take it on faith. ok. i think that's all. oh wait, you need the address!

amandromeda

116E N Broadway

Siloam Springs, AR 72761

this is my shop address. don't want any creepers hanging out by my front door, you know.

so please enter!!!! i'd love to hear from you :)

i bought this adorable little clutch the other day from goodwill with the intention of keeping it and walking around town with it feeling like a rock star. but then i got to thinking, 'you have so many lovely people who have lately started reading your blog and you know, they really deserve some compensation.' so i've decided to give it away. now, i'm not going to make you guys follow me, retweet anything, or hop up and down, sing a song and clap three times in order to enter. just let me know in the comments section that you'd like to have this for your very own. i don't know if it's vintage or not, although i suspect it isn't because the interior is pristine. it's just cute. i love a good clutch. i will also be putting some secret little things inside of it for the lucky winner. i may even go so far as to create a mix tape of my favorite 80s tunes, but then i guess that's not secret anymore. anyway, have at it. i'll give you until tuesday to enter (may 18) and will announce the winner on wednesday. thanks again so much for being awesome!
