I hope you enjoyed this week's collection launch! As always with this collection, I have tried to stay true to my belief that clothing should be long lasting, reflective of individual style and creativity rather than trends, and be at minimal cost to the environment. I am just a bit proud of the fact that the entire collection is made using beautiful organic cotton or hemp fabrics! If you missed out on my earlier posts and want to read about each of the individual dresses and my inspiration, you can click through here: Hannah Dress, Flora Dress, Lowlands Dress and Wildflowers Top, Mia Dress, Bluebirds Dress.
To celebrate the launch of this Summer collection, I am having a little giveaway here on the blog, for a $250 gift voucher to the Frances Baker shop! The voucher will be valid until the end of February 2013, so you'll have lots of time to chose something special. To enter, all you need to do is share this post on either facebook or twitter (be sure to let me know by either tagging me or commenting here). For an extra entry, you can leave a comment here telling me which is your favourite piece in the collection. Don't forget to leave me a way of contacting you too in case you win! The winner will be chosen by random number on December 31st, 2012. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jenny!
DeleteOh I would love to participate Josie but I have no Twitter and no Facebook...
ReplyDeleteShould I be chosen for the givaway though I would treat myself with the Flora dress I think. I love its vintage vibe, the cut and the colors. I bet it's very flattering !
Love x

Could I by any chance share it on my blog or tumblr instead...? You wouldn't be able to see on facebook as it is all private and I don't use twitter(mind you blogs are probably better audience too)
ReplyDeleteYou most definitely can Madeline, that would be wonderful! Thanks so much for entering :)

ReplyDeleteHello Josie. I have retweeted @ifindyoucurious. Your collection is beautiful. The Hannah dress is made for bare foot dreaming. But I absolutely love the Little Squirrel dress from the previous collection - there's just something about its simplicity that really appeals. I am desperately saving my pennies to snap one up! boo@ifindyoucurious.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI have shared on FB. My favourite piece is the flowing white cotton dress with ruffled sleeves - http://www.francesbaker.com.au/2012/01/summer-lookbook.html
ReplyDeleteI shared on Facebook. I love the bluebirds dress best of all.
