I have decided to start the fall off with a (fashionable) reader giveaway! I am very excited to be offering these awesome 18th century inspired items from Tokyo Milk featuring a lovely portrait of Marie Antoinette.
Marie Chérie cosmetic tote
"A covetable cosmetic tote to house a delightful world of curiosities. Eclectic imagery will carry you away from the everyday, with glittered paper butterfly tag perched as if ready to take flight. "
Kiss-me-Kit in Kiss & Tell
"Provocatively pretty sheer lip color in a kiss-me shade of sparkling champagne encased in a sleek silver tube with vintage inspired imagery to pique the curiosity. Paired with intoxicatingly hot mints to prep for a perfectly kissable mouth.
How to Enter:
For this giveaway I am trying out the PunchTab giveaway widget. It allows extra entries which is pretty cool (and keeps everything organized pour moi!)
Simply enter by email or your Facebook account.
Once you have entered there are seven options for extra entries you will be presented with (tweet, share, follow the usual! Just pick and choose any you want). The giveaway widget will track how many times you have entered.
The giveaway starts now, and you may enter through midnight September 14th. I will post the winner on Monday September 16th.
Thanks for reading, and good luck!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about the 18th century is all of the clothing! It is all beautiful and I think it is the loveliest style of all time.

ReplyDeleteOh, the architecture is grande in the 18th century. Just think of the many many styles, like with clothing styles in the 17th.
ReplyDeleteFirst you have the neat and still classically influenced baroque which turns into full bloom later, before rocoquo gets his turn, only to be completly turned over by neoclassicism.
Thanks for this beautiful giveaway for us,

ReplyDeleteI love the music and the portraits of the 18th century. I love Mozart's music, and I love looking at European portraits (including the miniatures). I find it fascinating how the artist translates the fabric and details of the garments of the wearer and can depict the textures.
ReplyDeleteThe dresses !
