Change-Shopping-Awards-Leopardlove

As you may have noticed, my blogger template appears different. I'm in the middle of playing around with the default templates, editing parameters to my hearts content. It's not done yet (I want to modify the header, change the background colour, change widths of the post and sidebar sections, and decrease the size of the wraparound) but please do let me know what you think I should do or aim for, or even if you liked it how it was and I should revert back! I decided it was time for a change.....I'm looking for a more professional finish.

--------------------

I've also been getting my act together and snapping pictures for my new blog: shopafricanteaparty. I know the idea of a blogger trying to sell wares is a staggeringly unique one....but I have too many shoes, vintage preciousness, accessories, clothing and other randomness that just sits there and that could be loved by someone else.

To summarise:
*prices will be reasonable, yay!
*there will be frequent giveaways, and all you'll need to do is be a follower of africanteaparty
*payment will need to be by Paypal: shoot me an email with item of interest, await invoice, make payment, and once it clears I'll post the good(s). [More clarity to be provided with regards to it all closer to launch]

I will update this blog once it's all in motion.....stay tuned!

--------------------

The Seeker bestowed upon me this gorgeous 'Golden Heart Blog Award'. It's Spanish, its sexy, and I'm honoured to be so highly thought of by this gorgeous lady with a fabulous soul and innate sense of style. Do check out her blog.

I'd like to pass on the award to these gorgeous girls:


More importantly, I want to thank you all for your lovely comments and kind thoughts....you guys rock (p.s. I promise to reply to comments sooon).

--------------------

Last but certainly not least of all, I recently received my highly anticipated and awaited Camilla and Marc leopard print boots. I kid you not, I'm wearing them as I type. These babies are officially my favourite pair of shoes. They're all sorts of platform-high goodness, they have that incredible leather smell, they are hand-made, they have the finest fuzz-haired surface, and to top it all off they make your legs look ridiculously good. Seriously. Grace from Camilla and Marc's flagshop store in Paddington, Sydney (ph: + 61 2 93311133) was a delight and looked after me all the way. Thanks so much, Grace!

Hope all is well with you guys. Thanks for all the comment love, I promise to reply soon :)

Belowen said...

Look forward to seeing what is in your shop!

miriam said...

at first i hardly recognised myself, but your new header looks great!

and i can just agree with CC, those booties rock!

Wanderlusting said...

Cool store! I still think the idea of a shop IS unique because though a lot of bloggers have them, it's really only about 15% of the entire fashion blogger population! So sell baby, sell!

Those boots are amazing - with black tights? drool!

Unknown said...

congrats!!

Vintage Lollipops said...

I've been doing the same thing... cleaning out the closet, snapping pictures, and contemplating what stays and what goes up for sale. Certainly there's a mass of great things I can live without. Right?

Oh, and the booties. I die. I can barely breathe right now! All the more reason to secure the notion of coming over and borrowing everything you own! lol.

love to you. xxx

DAKOTA RICO said...

Nata Amores said...

Anika, I absolutely love your blog. :]
You have such an amazing sixth sense when it comes to fashion, and those leapord booties are enchanting!
I was just visiting a boutique the other day, and my mouth completely watered. I really need to save up and get more money to splurge on treasures!
Oh and congrats on the award, you completely deserve it!

Clarity said...

You deserve that and more.

Well done on starting your own shop of sorts - I'm sure it will be filled with chic goodies - way to declutter too ;) I like it when people don't hoard things.

I've just read an amazing biography I think you will so enjoy.

Becky Tjandera said...
