Win Some Fabulously Cute Spring Accessories

March 22, 2009 - 11:30 am By CC Staff

Spring is officially here (since Friday!!) and I’m super excited.  What’s not to love about spring?  First of all, there’s pretty flowers and cute baby animals everywhere, obviously.  And warmer weather means finally being able to shed those winter coats, scarves, and gloves in favor of cute spring dresses and sandals!

Oh, it also happens to mean the end of the semester is quickly approaching! Woohoo!

To celebrate how much we love spring, CollegeCandy is teaming up with the Vivi Dot Store to give one CollegeCandy reader a whole slew of her super cute, super original jewelry and accessories to spice up that hot new spring wardrobe of yours.

Don’t know Vivi Dot? Well, let me introduce you!

Molly, the brains and hands behind Vivi Dot, set out to provide affordable, eye-catching accessories for people that like to get noticed. And who doesn’t? All of her pieces are handmade made from a one inch button covered in fun and vibrant fabrics or papers. She then combines them all together to create truly unique pieces from hair clips to brooches. Could there be anything cuter on a spring cardigan? I think not.

We have fallen head over heels for her watch necklaces and are secretly drooling over her anchor earrings. We want, we want, we want!

Too bad we can’t enter. But you can!

How do you win this nifty prize? Simply hop on over to the Vivi Dot Store and pick out your favorite piece. Let us know which one it is in the comments section below and one CollegeCandy reader will be randomly selected to take home a variety of ViviDot stuff, including her favorite piece!

You have until March 31st at 5pm EST to enter, so get to it. Just promise us one thing – you’ll let us borrow, right?

    Vivi Dot’s accessories are so cute! I adore the perched sparrows jumbo hair clip: http://www.vividotstore.com/pespjucl.html. It’s perfect for those days when I need to look polished ASAP.

    All of the accessories are just so cute that it makes it very difficult for me to choose just one! But since I must pick only one, I pick the pink owl earrings, http://www.vividotstore.com/pink-owl-earrings.html, cause they’re unique and owls are quite awesome.

  8. Teri says:

    I simply adore the ViviDot store. I haven’t bought anything as yet because I simply cannot choose only a couple of items from all the loveliness, and I especially love the catalogues with all the different fabric swatches! My absolute favourite item would be Houndstooth Hairpins… oh I can’t wait to get my hands on them!

  27. Gwenivere says:

    Hmm… It’s very difficult to pick the hair clips that I love the most. I guess if I had to choose, I would pick the Forest Animal Small Hair Clips. They are just freakin adorable! Plus, they have hedgehogs on them. And since I have a hedgehog it’s a great way to show my hedgehog love.

    I like the red and white chrysanthemum watch necklace; http://www.vividotstore.com/red-and-white-chrysanthemum-watch-necklace.html because I don’t wear wristwatches – I’m left handed and they have a tendency to get in my way when I’m writing.

  55. Melissa says:
    Mon, 23rd Mar 200911:41 am 

    I love the wild cherry hair clips! I have short dark hair, so I’m always looking for something cute to clip my bangs off from my face. Those are just the cutest things and would go great with a lot of my outfits!

    Thanks for the tip-off about Vivi Dot! Their stuff is super cute and completely awesome and I want to buy the whole place out!

  56. Katy says:

    Ooh…this was super hard, I could not decide between hair clips, rings, or watch necklaces.

    In the end, I have to say that because I only have 1 ring, I would have to pick Kissing Chickies Ring.
    It’s just too cute!! http://www.vividotstore.com/kissing-chickies-ring.html

    Thu, 26th Mar 200912:29 am 

    Well, I could really use some of these cute hair pins since I’m growing out my bangs right now, but the moment I saw the pocket watches it was instant love. They’re so quirky and adorable! The scalloped striped pocket watch is my favorite :) .
