I can’t believe another year has gone by! Shane’s Killer Cupcakes started as a place I could share my cupcakes with my friends and family and in two years has grown much bigger (while still relatively small) than I had hoped.
SKC turned 2 on March 29th but due to general laziness, it’s taken me until now to celebrate with a small giveaway. It’s not much, but I wanted to thank my readers with a little something. There are 3 packages available for this giveaway which means 3 WINNERS!
If you’re in the US, you can enter any of these giveaways! Anyone outside of the US may enter the giveaway for Package #3. Good luck!
To enter either of these giveaways you must be at least 18 years old. I will be shipping Packages #1 and #2 personally and that is why they are US only (shipping is expensive!).

Since my giveaway for an item under $75 from eShakti.com is winding down, I thought I’d share with you another opportunity to win something from eShakti. For International Women’s Day, which was March 8th, eShakti is holding a contest. They want to know what you think women want. Tell them in 45 words or less in an email sent to contest@eshakti.com and you’ll be entered to win a $150 gift card to the store! How cool is that? Remember to make your entry creative so that they are more likely to pick it. You have until tomorrow, March 15th, to get your entry in. Good luck!
I’ll be changing things up a bit with today’s post. Instead of baking I’ll be talking about clothing. Specifically, I’ll be reviewing a dress I got from eShakti.com. eShakti, a vintage inspired woman’s online clothing store, specializing in customizable pieces ranging from sizes 0 to 36W, contacted me to ask if I was interested in reviewing a piece of clothing for them. So, wait, I get to review a cute piece of clothing, and I get to keep it? Uh, yes please!
Thus began a long drawn out process, all of which was my fault. I knew they were offering to give me free customization on the piece I was to review, but not being familiar with such an opportunity, I chose one of their standard sized dresses, because the measurements where pretty close to my own. That was a mistake. Why get a dress that’s “pretty close” to your size when you can get a dress that is exactly your size?!? Yeah, I don’t know why I didn’t think it through better.

After browsing their many pieces, I decided on the Her Fifties Sundress in crimson (I don’t think this color is available anymore but the “poppy red” looks similar). The first dress I received (the standard sized one) was too big in the bust which made everything fit all wrong. I could have reviewed this dress, but I really wanted to see what the dress would be like if it fit right. Luckily, eShakti.com has amazing customer service, and allowed me to return the item and order the same dress with my customized measurements this time. Generally, customization only costs an extra $7.50, which is an amazingly affordable price. You can also choose to change the neckline shape or alter the sleeves or hem length if available for the piece you want to buy. Find out more about their customizeable options here.

A few weeks later, after receiving the ill-fitting dress, returning it, and receiving the better fitting dress, I finally had a great piece to review. I have got to thank eShakti for working so closely with me to get me a product that I would love! Here is all the good and bad about the dress I received:
Bra strap snaps
PROS:
Sorry for the pit shot!
CONS
Overall, the pros outweighed the cons. I really love this dress, though I might have to wear a cardigan over it to cover those pit stains!
eShakti has so many styles to choose from. With their spring line just released, you have a lot of new pieces to browse including dresses, skirts, and tops. Also, for any upcoming brides out there, they have a great bridesmaid dress section set up to help you find the perfect fit, color, and style for all your bridesmaids!
Besides having great clothes, I really like that everything on eShakti is very affordable, the shipping is quick (even for customized pieces), they can make items in so many sizes, and the customer service, in my experience, has been quick to reply and helpful.
