Custom Eshakti + 2 $25 Gift Cards Giveaway

Hi doll babies! Today I'm going to fill y'all in on the most customizable online clothing experience ever. [For reals.] I have seen eShakti pop up here and there in blog land, but I never fully understood the variety of custom options until now.

I figure it's better to show you than to tell you, so I took some screenshots while I shopped. :)

 Here is the original item I chose as shown on the website. The boho chic-ness of it caught my eye [of course].

I have 2 other white, light cotton dresses -- one strapless and one short sleeved -- so I opted to keep the sleeves "as shown"
But can we talk about how cool it is that I was given seven different options?! Hey now.

I opted for the "wide deep scoop" because I knew I wouldn't have a problem keeping it modest in that area. ;)

Length-wise I chose knee length instead of "as shown" since I'm tall [and because I had terrible flashbacks of trying on my mom/sister's dresses and sadly dismissing them as "too short" 58930513 times]. Looking back though -- I probably would've chosen above the knee or mini since the dress is so much longer in the back.

Here it is close up! Super light and airy.

Gotta soak up as much of the lightweight, white dress wearing as possible...summer is slipping away!

I always have to add my favorite accessory -- Amelia Tiny Tina Pup! 
Also - love the flowyness of this dress. The sista and I love feminine flowy.

Sooo who doesn't want to customize their own clothing? It feels so VIP! And eShakti has graciously offered to give Cheers Y'all readers TWO $25 gift cards* to their online store. Yep...two winners instead of one! WOOHOO!

Note from eShakti: Unlike a gift coupon, a gift card is as good as cash. It can be used over and above any other promotional offer / gift coupon in the same order.

[Love it.] 

Okay, before the giveaway...I couldn't help but stalk eShakti some more and lead you in the direction of my newest favorite items. I mean: pompoms, an embroidered maxi, and tassels? Need I say more?!

One | Two | Three

You can visit other new arrivals that are available right here. I'll stop rambling now so you can enter!

Full disclosure: Per my sponsorship policy, I was given one item to review and one to give away. All opinions expressed are strictly my own.

Summer Memory: Our summer has been full of so much goodness, it's hard to pick just one but if I had to pick my favorite so far it would be the SC Ride 4 Life my family goes on each year. It's a 300 mile bicycle ride that my dad participates in and the rest of our family does support for the riders. It was four days spent with some of our favorite people and we supported the best group of riders who ride to give unborn babies a chance at life. We spent a lot of time riding behind cyclists, sweated a bunch {it was so hot}, laughed a lot, and raised a heck ton of money for our local pregnancy center!

Home Tour | Mudroom

Cheer Y'all Home Tour Index

This little room is tucked right off our kitchen and right beside the garage door. It's simple. Little. We use it everyday. And I love it.

Not sure what they used this room as before? It was empty when we looked at the house. Yellow and holding one empty wire rack that I had removed before it was repainted.

View from the kitchen.

Welcome to our simple yet practical little mudroom. :)We kick off our shoes when we come in and throw them in this bench.

I adore this little hanging rack. I think it's so lovely.It's pretty bare now, but I'm sure it will be filled with coats come winter!

Throw pillows make me notoriously happy. Truth be told...I stuffed 2 lumbar sized pillows into these. I'll eventually "splurge" on the correct sized pillow. I didn't want to go ahead and buy two more pillows when I had two unused pillows laying in the closet! You frugal folks feel me. ;) Also: note the nailhead studs on this bench...my favorite part!

Lovely little details. Still obsessed with that hanging rack and its rustic look. Even Mark noticed and liked that about it! And remember...don't forget to paint your light switch plates too! :)

And my Rugs USA obsession continues...

I [finally] hung this guy up on the wall last week, which is why it's not covered in pictures and old mail yet. :)It formerly hung over my desk through middle and high school. 

PROGRESS

Painted walls and doors

Removed wall-to-wall iron rack

TO DO

Nada? I previously wanted to line 3/4 of the wall with beadboard and a ledge...but I'm still so in love with this gray, I think I've changed my mind. I don't want to cover it up!

Girls Beach Weekend

Via

"...whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."

Proverbs 11:25

In a word: refreshing. That's what this weekend was for us.

5 gals. (One dearly missed!!)

Lots of talking. Encouraging. Listening. Sharing life.

I am so thankful for each of these souls and how beautifully they have impacted [and will continue to impact!] my life.

FRIDAY

Of course we spent an hour sitting in the living room chatting after their arrival. We cooked up some Mexican for dinner and headed to the beach with a blanket and some cake balls to watch the sunset. It wound up being too cloudy to even see the sun, but we didn't mind. :)

 

They're here!!! (Minus Sarah who arrived the next morning!)

 
 Cloudy evening on the WB South End.

SATURDAY

From breakfast to beach day!

 It could not have been a more gorgeous day.
It seems like no pictures ever capture how perfect and turquoise the water is here in Wrightsville.

After several hours in the sun, I knew I wanted to take the girls to SurfBerry -- one of my favorite local spots on the island. 

I have to keep spreading and sharing my acai bowl obsession. :)

 

Lindsay + baby girl Sadie are definitely new acai bowl fans.


After beachin' we headed home to get all dolled up and headed downtown.
Not gonna lie...getting ready all together in our master bathroom was oh so fun!!

 I crushed on some of these treasures at Dang! Southern Chic in downtown Wilmy.

 Riverwalk sunset over the battleship

I so loved having these soul sisters of mine were in Wilmy, my "new" home!!!

When we got back home, we changed into our comfies and pretty much had a good old fashioned slumber party. Happy hearts.

SUNDAY

The ladies got back home to hubbies and kiddos that morning.

Tina was sad and wanted to snuggle for the rest of the day since her girlfriends were gone. :)

Hey! Where'd everyone go?

I hope your weekends were full of joy + refreshment too!

And--even more than that--I hope you have friends like these! Sisters in Christ. Distance has nothing on us. :)

 

Happy Monday!
