and the winners are…

ashley and iris!
ashley and iris will each be winning a $45 store credit to clever nettle for creating these lovely fall outfits on polyvore! the collage seen above was created by ashley and was my pick for the win. i like the way the outfit is perfectly balanced, but the mixed prints keep it from being too matchy matchy. i also love the unexpected color combination! the collage seen below was created by iris and was anja’s pick for the win. anja said of her choice, “it makes me think of these funny old romantic beverly clearly novels i used to read when i was 12 or so, they were written in the late 50’s and it seemed like they were always about a highschool girl who is just starting to do grown up stuff, dinner dates and wearing something fancy while not really knowing what to do, haha. the combination of the boyfriend-style cardigan and those chanel flats did it for me!”

congratulations to ashley and iris! and no worries if you didn’t win this time, there will be plenty more opportunities to win great prizes thanks to the sponsors of calivintage. what’s more, anja is hosting a similar contest of her own over at the clever nettle blog. so check it out, create a few more polyvore collages, and enter for a chance to win a $1000 gift card!
