Birthday Blog Giveaway!

Hello, Happy Friday!

I cannot believe I have been writing Dear Thirty for a whole year now! It's crazy when I think of all the lovely bloggers I've met, all the amazing blogs I've discovered; the life lessons I've learned and how I've developed my writing and photography abilities.

So much has happened this past year in my personal life; losing people close to you is never an easy feat, however, writing this blog has helped to keep me upright, kept me focused and more importantly, pushed me forward when times were otherwise unbearable.

I'd also like to sincerely thank my friends, family both online and in "real life" for all your amazing support, the big hugs and the long, lengthy conversations (over coffee or wine) that have put life into perspective when I was feeling so desperately sorry for myself (Booo!). I feel so lucky to have a fantastic support network around me - I love you all :)

So, the first year is over - what's on the cards for the following year? Well, I have the UK Blog Awards next month and I've ordered the dress!!! Vintage, Satin, peach - more on that soon! As you'll know, I've been nominated and shortlisted in the Lifestyle Category for these awards - I still can't believe it! I'm not expecting to win of course, (although naturally, that would be a-m-a-z-i-n-g!) there are some fantastic, well-established blogs that really do deserve to have the recognition for their hard work. I'm just excited to be attending a red carpet event at a 5 star venue in central London and I get to buy a fabulous dress!

I've also been writing various guest posts recently; I'll create a link on the page soon to all the posts :)

There are always new things happening with Dear Thirty and this is why I love writing here - there's always something happening, it's never boring!

I wanted to do something lovely for my amazing readers, to thank you all and to celebrate my 1st Bloggy Birthday, therefore I'm hosting my first ever Dear Thirty giveaway......Please scroll to the bottom of this post to enter! x

                DEAR THIRTY 1ST BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY!

So, I'm giving away this fabulous pair of sunglasses. I've had quite a few people ask me where they're from when they'd seen this picture. They were gifted to me by Giant Vintage for some modelling work - and as everyone seems to have fallen in love with these, I'm passing them on to you, my lovely readers :)

As this is my first giveaway (yay!) I'm a little sketchy on the rules, regulations and worried about not doing things, erm, correctly?! Therefore, I'm using the Rafflecopter to manage this giveaway. 

I have readers from all over the world, therefore it's only fair that I ship worldwide - so go wild ;)

I will let you know via the blog who the lucky winner is, in 2 weeks time (4/4/14)!

Good Luck x
