everyone loves a makeover special

November 5, 2011 in admin

The Dernier Cri has been a bit quiet over the past few weeks while it retreated for a bit of a makeover. Now it’s back (hopefully better than ever) with a brand, new look.

The new design is still a bit of a work in progress so please let me know in the comments or by email if you notice any glitches.

I hope you like the new look – and thanks for your support!

summer lovin’

July 18, 2011 in admin

I’m currently travelling around Europe, exploring new towns and lying in awkward poses on beaches (as per my inspiration photo – right) so please excuse my infrequent posts over the next few weeks.

I hope you’re enjoying your summer too (or keeping cozy if you’re in the southern hemisphere) and I look forward to catching up with you again soon. Hasta luego! L xo

the dernier cri turns 1 today… and a giveaway!

March 14, 2011 in admin

It’s one year today since I started The Dernier Cri with a post about Anthropologie’s Two Paths Trench. Over 13,000 of you have stopped by over the past year and I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting.

Writing this blog has been such a great opportunity for me. I’m proud I’ve managed to post every week day for the past year (sometimes more than once a day) and I’ve had so much fun looking at beautiful fashion, trying new restaurants, attending movie previews, and even making a little bit of cash. But the best thing about this blog is the chance to “meet” other bloggers and social networking staff from my favourite stores.

I would particularly like to thank Roxy from Effortless Anthropologie for giving me the chance to write a guest post on her very popular blog not long after I started my own, and Kim from Anthroholic for including me in her weekly readers’ outfits post. Both these opportunities have dramatically increased my readership and I sincerely thank you both.

I’d also like to thank Jen from Vintageglammz for being my most loyal commenter and for supporting a fellow Aussie blogger.

And now to the fun part! It wouldn’t be a birthday without presents… and as a thank you for reading, I’m giving the gifts to you!

I’m giving you the chance to win…

a $100 Anthropologie gift voucher!

And because I want to share the love around, I’m also giving runner-up prizes of…

2 x $25 Anthropologie gift vouchers!

Here’s the fine print and how to enter:

- This contest is not affiliated in any way with Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters.

- Leave me a comment letting me know you follow The Dernier Cri. Don’t forget to include your email address so I can contact you if you’re the lucky winner (or a runner-up). If you don’t want to leave your email in the comments, you can email your details to lauren (at) thederniercri.net.
- You can receive one bonus entry if you also follow on Facebook and/or Twitter. Make sure you mention where you follow in your comment to receive the bonus entry.
