It has been incredibly rewarding and inspiring to watch Kendall's dream come to life. From trips overseas to assembling her lookbook and selling her line, she has shared it all and allowed her followers to come along for the ride. Last week she sent me the most beautiful dress - the "Amanda". Suffice it to say I opened the box, slipped on the dress and immediately tossed on a pair of heels to wear the outfit for the remainder of the day...in the confines of my own home, working away answering the door only for UPS deliveries, but STILL. Like all of her line, the dress has a wonderful vintage feel to it - very soft, airy and romantic - fully lined and much like the things you would find in Anthropologie. Examine for yourselves:
~kendall k. - Amanda dress, Anthro belt, Vintage clutch, J.Crew heels,
Melinda Maria rings and bracelets~
Details, details, details: from the lace inset and gold buttons up top -
to the lace finished edges and light layered ruffle at bottom - nothing is left out.
It was a perfectly breezy day yesterday and the fabric was flowing in the wind.
I went with a darker belt and leopard heels, but after seeing the Jill Stuart
inspiration yesterday also tried the dress with my Loeffler Randall boots
and a vintage leather belt from Mexico. So many possibilities with this dress!
You can check out the kendall k. site here but before you do that...Kendall has graciously offered to give away the Amanda dress to one lucky reader of this free bird - she ships overseas as well so everyone is welcome to enter. See details below and good luck...Happy Monday!to the lace finished edges and light layered ruffle at bottom - nothing is left out.

Hi! I have recently begun following your blog - and totally love it! - and have been following on my Google Reader, but was not a registered follower on your blog page - which I joined today! I gladly 'liked' the site of your friend on Facebook; as someone who loves to sew, but haven't ventured to come up with my own designs, it is a pleasure to watch someone else succeed in fashion! Thank you to both of you for sponsoring this dress give away!!!
