I am absolutely thrilled to tell you that yesterday I found out that we came 2nd place in the Sheerluxe Awards Online Boutique Category. This means so much to us as we were up against some pretty stiff competition from netaporter.com, mywardrobe.com, theoutnet.com and Asos (who won).
The award was voted for by you, our customers, which makes it extra special, as it shows us how much you love our site.
A big thank you to all of you who voted on our behalf- we couldn’t have done it without you!

Wanted: Glamorous Brand Ambassador
Austique is looking for one fabulous lady to represent our brand around town- which basically means lots of free dresses and hot invites for the lucky winner!!
What’s a brand ambassador?
Austique’s brand ambassadors are a hand-picked bunch of the loveliest ladies around who we think embody the Austique spirit. We let these ladies have first view of all our collections, pick their favourite dress from each season’s collections and invite them to all of our parties and events.
We will also be offering the winner of this competition, should they want it, a guest blog on austiquegirl.com
How to win?
Simply upload a photograph of yourself wearing your favourite Austique dress to our facebook page. It’s that easy! We will choose the most fabulous girl as our ambassador and announce the winner at the end of August.
So if you don’t have any hot pictures to hand, get snapping now- there’s still loads of time to win.
Need some inspiration? We’ve created an album of the Austique girlies in their favourite pieces from the store.
Summer spells a competition frenzy at Austique HQ every year and 2010 is no different. After a really great response, we have just drawn the winners of our facebook SATC2 name necklace giveaway. The winners are:
Izzy Lauder Frost

I’m guessing that you’ve all heard of the wonderful ladies at Sheerluxe.com, from Georgie Coleridge Cole, founder and Editor (and fan of Dylan’s Candy…) to the fantastically talented Nathalie Hughes who has created some wonderful illustrations of shopdog and I, to all the amazing girls who organise the events, write fun blogs and are just generally fabulous! Well, these charming ladies have nominated Austique for their first ever Sheerluxe Shopping awards.
Over the last 6 years we have had such positive and happy feedback from our in-store customers and now we’d love it if you online shoppers would add your voice to theirs! We’ve always tried our best to re-create our award-winning boutique formula online and as time has passed we think that we’ve become pretty damned fabulous!! So, please show your support for the Austique girls and vote Austique your favourite online boutique. It’ll only take 30 seconds … promise!

Christmas = parties = party dresses. So we at AustiqueHQ felt that a new delivery was needed asap and luckily Cynthia Vincent is arriving in the shop next week to answer our prayers. Well not Cynthia herself but her Twelfth Street collection. The dresses are gorgeous and the timing could not be more perfect in the run-up to Christmas. Dazzle at the office party, turn that boy’s head and most importantly have the best time possible. These dresses are so gorgeous they are sure to make you feel it and for me that is ALWAYS when I end up having a hoot!
Cynthia Vincent is an American designer who “channels her energy into classic, feminine, fresh silhouettes that encourage women to express their individuality through well-conceived, impeccably crafted, timeless garments.” Sounds good to me and I’m sure the collection will echo that statement. Sienna Miller and Ashley Olsen are fans so I reckon we will be too.
A COUPLE OF THANK YOUS FROM AUSTIQUE
