Giveaway! - Dressed // CLOSED

Hi all! It's been a little while since I've done a giveaway on this blog here, so today I am bringing you a giveaway from Dressed! 5 people will win, so your chances are pretty good! Designed by a marine neuroscientist and her husband, Dressed is an app for apple devices that allows you to put your entire wardrobe into your phone, then dress a mannequin up with every possible combination from your wardrobe! This is extremely useful for me, because my wardrobe is so full that pulling clothes out to decide what to wear in the morning is actually a really tiring task. IT'S A MINIATURE VERSION OF ME. WHAT EVEN IS TECHNOLOGY *___* The way technology is going, soon I won't even have to take proper outfit photos - I'll just have a robot representation of me on my computer, all my clothes uploaded to the interwebs, and I'll just post outfit posts like this: Hehehe. I am beyond amused/excited by this :') The seasonal backgrounds are just another part of the app... and I spend way too much time playing around with them. The app is really intuitive, simple to use and super fun to play with. It lets you add each item of clothing in about a minute, then dress up a customised mannequin with clothes that fly in and out and move around just like real cloth! You can take pictures of your own clothes, or find images on the internet (so you could technically make yourself a fantasy wardrobe, too). The giveaway is open for 2 weeks internationally. And if you can't wait, you can download the app here. Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway ***Disclaimer: I have not been paid to run this giveaway. I just genuinely think that this is a really cool app.*** Bloglovin' | Youtube | Facebook | Twitter |  Instagram | Chictopia | Lookbook | Tumblr

Let me introduce you to the super cute artworks of Angel Szafranko from Toronto! I was recently contacted by this wonderful artist asking if I would like to host a giveaway for her etsy store. I am so happy to host this giveaway, because I am absolutely in love with this kind of style right now (see this pinterest board full of my favourite illustrators, and you'll see what I mean). I don't know what it is about the colourful, creepy-cute, pop-surreal, super-flat style of these artists that I love so much - maybe it's the fantastic clothing they all seem to be wearing?? - but I can't get enough! Here are just some of her works: If you'd like the chance to win an Angel Szafranko print of your choice, all you need to do is complete at least one entry in the rafflecopter widget below!
