I know my family have started asking me about wish lists already this year, and I'm sure I'm not alone!? The great news is Amazon have started doing universal wish lists at last! That means you can add items from your favorite indie labels like Cute Salad and Candy Violet this year! With the current economic climate, supporting your favorite small businesses and artists has never been more important.

To help every one get ready we've started a sale on some of our favorite items! Cute Salad kimono hoodies, Candy Violet Victorian promenade dress sets, skirts, Paris Patisserie Skirts and Paris chic skirts are all marked down, to give a little back to our customers.

We also still have our item of the month coupon running for a few more weeks as well. Spread the word!

A quick note to our international customers. We've added international 1st class shipping back to the cart. 1st class is non trackable and  therefore less secure than Priority and EMS, so it is not recommended for items such as dress sets etc.

I hope this is helpful!

The time has come! The new atelier updates are now up!!!

The new theme is "Stroll About Town". The Victorians loved their wool, their day wear, and promenading around the town arm in arm with a best friend or beau. That's what this atelier event is all about! Coats, bonnets and purses, everything you need to stroll around town this Fall and Winter.

I always think a nice coat is the most important thing in a girls wardrobe as the weather gets colder, it's the one thing we wear almost every day!! I hope you like the new items, they also go well with our Victorian promenade items from our regular catalog. Let's get dressed up this season!

Depending on how well these items sell will determine the future of these atelier events, if they are not quite your size or favorite theme, you can still help spread the word and help make this event a success!

We've been trying to find a way to reward all our customers, and now have a new feature up on the site! When you shop on any of our sites and sign in as a registered customer you'll earn reward points you can use against future purchases!

Every time you log in and spend $1 on either Candy Violet or Cute Salad you earn 1 point, 20 points is equal to $1 you can use towards future purchases from either label.(point system maybe subject to change)

It's what all the kids are doing now!

I finally got going with my twitter, I'll post updates to the shops and sites like Fancy Girl there, as well as the usual twitter. Hopefully it'll be fun!

You can follow me here... http://twitter.com/Vivcore so lets tweet!

We have 3 lovely new items available at Candy Violet!!

We have the new ultra versatile Victorian Promenade Dress Set, Victorian Promenade Skirt, and our long awaited Classic Bolero!! As well as these new items the Candy Violet website has a whole new look, and easier shopping interface. It's also much simpler now to fill your cart with items from both Candy Violet and Cute Salad at the same time.

I hope you'll pardon our dust as we tidy up some cosmetic details over the next couple of days, and enjoy our new items and website!

For those who have been waiting...

The new Atelier section is now open over on Candy Violet!

Last year I wasn't able to go back to England, but tomorrow we're leaving for a big 3 week trip to visit my friends and family, along with a stop over in Paris for a few days in the middle! I'm so excited to see my sisters new place, in a new town, as well ( I hear there are also lots of big ships to see!)

The stores are now closed till we get back, we'll be re-opening May 29th, with new items on the heels of the trip for Candy Violet.

The last few weeks I've been putting together a few new clothes and accessories...
( Come see the new wardrobe!... )
Also as an early birthday present Dusty bought me a wonderful new camera! I'm going to take it every where this trip and hopefully be able to keep posting from England and France.

Right now I need to finish prepping for the trip, I'll post again soon!
