Sugar Dame Giveaway!

Sugar Dame is first and foremost about creating a sweet life! I strongly believe in indulging your creative side and the positive effect it has on your soul. It all started with a passion for baking, which turned into a small dessert catering business (which I still run with my sister). From there, the Sugar Dame brand has branched out into a lifestyle blog focused on creating the life you want. At Sugar Dame, you will find daily inspiration for DIY projects, recipes, style and finding your happy place. You can also shop our handmade products and enjoy a slice of Sugar Dame life at home, from the Sugar Dame Blog Shop on Etsy!

Japanese vintage dresses were very popular back in the late 50's in Hong Kong, where Andy's family is originally from. It's also a city that's been heavily influenced by Japanese culture. Andy used to be intrigued by the design and the craftsmanship og the clothes that his parents brought home from the Japanese department stores franchised in Hong Kong. With his passion on Japanese vintage clothing, he started selling his parents' Japanese vintage clothes during college and after that was almost gone, he started travelling and seeking more vintage clothing, bringing and sharing then in his online store based in New York. Standard Vintage focuses on Japanese clothing and accessories for women from the 50's to 80's and even better, they are now having a promotion of free shipping on U.S. orders of $150 or more. Enter "LOVESIT" at checkout to receive the discount.

Standard Vintage is also giving away a $30 credit to their shop! To enter, check out the shop and leave a comment below telling us what you would pick from the shop if you were the lucky winner! Make sure you include your email address in the comment! 

We hope you mosey on over to Standard Vintage's shop and we hope you love it as much as we do!
