I was invited to Cara Mia's Hoodoo Shoe Party. I am gonna be honest here, I have never heard of a shoe party, and to make matters worse it was advertised as a "shoe party/naked lady party." As you can imagine, I thought this party was going in a completely different direction, HA! I kid, I kid... if you haven't been to a naked lady party, it is where you get together with all your friends and bring a bag of clothes you no longer wear. Everyone throws the clothes into a pile, and then it is a civil deathmatch for other peoples clothes! Hopefully at the end of the night you leave with minimal bruising, and a few new outfits.
The Hoodoo Shoe party was hosted by Joy of Lucky Cupcake Hairclips (who hates getting her picture taken as you can see below...) And if you can believe this, at a party FULL of Bordello Shoes, I didnt buy a single pair. Mostly because I am a single mom (see also: BROKE) and the pair I wanted were on back order. But I had a great time and traded in for some new clothes!
While at the party, another party goer and photographer, showed me her newest toy: A homemade wide angle lens. It consists of putting a peep hole (from a front door) into a lens cap and attaching it to your regular lens. It was super fun to play with, and here is proof of the silly that went on that night...

THE GIVEAWAY
That's right my friends, the giveaway is finally ready to roll off the shelf. I have collaborated with some amazing women to bring you a great opportunity to win some great prizes. I now have over 1000 followers on this little blog, and I am so thankful for each and every one of them. This blog has been the most fun outlet. I am happy I am able to ramble on and share my story with everyone!
On to the goods, I know you just want to know what you could win! I have teamed up with Lolita Girl Clothing, Lucky Cupcake Hairclips, and The Witchery Vintage to offer you some amazing frocks and accessories.
First up is your choice of Dress or Romper from Lolita Girl Clothing. I personally like the Sailor Jane Dress, but if you win you can pick which you like more. LGC is a small California based company, with amazingly huge style. You should also look into their amazing repro style swimsuits, as they are to die for!
Next up are two fantastic nautical themed hair bows from Joy of Lucky Cupcake Hairclips!
I have the one on the right (obviously... ha, that is me in the picture...) and I can attest to its high quality and reliability. I have had mine for over 2 years, and it just keeps on trucking!
And finally, Sandra over at The Witchery Vintage would like to offer you a $40.00 gift voucher to use on anything in her vintage clothing shop. Who doesn't love free money? and if you want to stick with the nautical theme you can pick up the 70s Polka Dot Sundress.
