The Paraders Vintage Giveaway!!!

I am really, really happy to announce that the lovely Anna and Rachael from the online shop 'The Paraders Vintage' are hosting a $50 giveaway!!!  The Paraders Vintage, an online vintage shop and blog, aims to provide a modern mix of lovely dresses and charming accessories.  

Here's a bit more about the shop from Rachael:

Hello!  I'm Rachael, creator of The Paraders - the online vintage shop of Chicago.  The Paraders is full of wearable vintage from the 20s through the 80s that makes a girl look lovely and feel lovely too!  Our blog compliments the shop style with "dating vintage clothing" posts, vintage buying and styling tips, and my adventures through and aside from the shop.  As our shop expands into a full-blown independent website over the next month, please stay in touch with the Paraders to hear all about what it takes to jump from Etsy into a bigger, scarier market.  Also, stay tuned for our Paraders s/s 2012 dress collection! Thanks so much for listening and have a wonderful day!

Here are a few of my favourites from their lovely vintage shop:

1930s dress Lanvin adaptation:

I've never seen such an exquisite dress! I love, love, love the colours and texture!

60s coat medium large:

Wow--I just love this orange colour--perfect for autumn and winter.

1940s jacket large - 40s navy blue angled military war jacket:

I just love the double collar, the interesting pocket details and the buttons on this 40's jacket!

60s dress set xs / teal woolen skirt jacket blue 1960s:

You know how much I love teal! This set is so perfect!  I could see making a lot of matching blouses!

This dress reminds me so much of Betty draper! I love the bow on the top!
