Giveaway: Paloma Vintage

Today's giveaway comes from a great little etsy shop and my newest sponsor, Paloma Vintage. Paloma is ran by one of my most dedicated readers, Nancy, who also has a blog called The Sway Report! I'm pretty sure Nancy and I fancy the same things, and I am just pleased as punch to have her as a sponsor this month.

I know that clothes seem to be my weakness on this blog, but my real weakness lies in *anything* kitten inspired. It may be a little cat-ladyish, but if I needed a door knocker, I'd most definitely want it to be just like the one in Nancy's shop! I tell you, that Monkeycat sure did open up my heart to a kitty obsession.
Enough about kittens though. This is a giveaway! Nancy chose to offer up one of the embroidered shirts above. The one on the left will fit a M-XL and the one on the right will fit a S-L. And you know the drill. To enter, visit Paloma Vintage and tell us your favorite item. Don't forget to add the shop to your favorites while you're there, and be sure to leave your email address. Best of luck!

Congratulations to Amber of Latress on the Menjay. You're the winner of The Flight of Thought greeting card giveaway.

Etsy: The Sixties & The Seventies

I finally added some more pieces to the shop last night, but this time I went with a  60's/70's inspired theme! I know it's kind of a stretch from my own personal style, but when I first started thrifting for my store a couple years ago, this seemed to be the vintage I was drawn to. Maybe it's because it was so obviously vintage and easy for me to recognize, but whatever the reason, it's been hanging on my dress rack for way too long and desperately needs to find a home before Goodwill gets a hold of it. I priced everything super low for that reason. Most things are under $30! It seems like I get a lot of really retro pieces given to me too, either from friends parents or grandma's, or sometimes even because they saw it at the thrift store and thought about me. I never sell any gifts though! I'll only sell an item if they bought it with the intention of me putting it in the shop. When I posted these photos on Facebook last night (you should friend me, btw!) I had a girl offer to give me 25 vintage dresses that she was planning on dropping off at a thrift store. You already know what I said.

Since these looks were so far away from my style and since I was super duper busy leading up to this shoot, I got really lazy with the styling and put the girls in the same shoes and socks the whole way through. I'm a cheat and ripped the black shoe/sock combo off from the Orla Kiely fall lookbook, but then again, who could blame me?
