A Blue Gardenia Giveaway: Lipstick and a Pattern!

Denise of The Blue Gardenia is sponsoring another fantastic and generous giveaway! This time, we're setting our sights on the 60s. Denise has a lovely blog where she's written a series of drool-worthy inspiration posts called "Channeling Catherine," an ode to the great Ms. Deneuve's style. Likewise, this giveaway is similarly inspired. Behold:

Now. Take one part Nars Belle de Jour lipstick:

And one part McCall's 8076, a pattern for a swingy slip of a dress, copyright 1967:

And voila! You've been Deneuved!

To be entered to win the lipstick and pattern (bust 34", but quite forgiving fit-wise), simply leave a comment on this post by midnight EST on Saturday, August 7th. I'll choose the winner by random drawing and announce it on Sunday.

Denise has been so generous with us. Now might we return the favor? Go support a fabulous vintage pattern seller by shopping at the Blue Gardenia.

Here are a few of Denise's other Deneuve-worthy patterns to start you out. Go forth and shop!

Bust 40"
Bust 36"
Bust 38"

    My favorite pieces included a velvet day coat with leg of mutton sleeves, a sequined tuxedo jacket and some gorgeous draped evening dresses. These, and the Belle de jour wardrobe, of course...

    the Balmain dress is classic. Being of an age where I wore these fashions the first time around, I'm always reluctant to go back...wearing vintage makes me look a little too, well...vintage, myself. The Balmain dress is an exception. Anyone would look fabulous in it.

    I love the natural hue of the lip color. It's perfect for that pouty 60's lip! The pattern looks so forgiving (on my post baby goodness) and fun to make too. Thanks Gertie and Denise for another great giveaway!
