Here begins an edit to the previous post...
It seems that, due to adverse weather conditions, the Retro Festival has been cancelled. This is a huge shame, both for the Mafia and me; and for everyone involved with the festival. Let's hope it's reinstated next year.
But it's rather better news for you lot! The competition to win a Heyday Fleur is now open to everyone in the UK. We're keeping it UK as the weather here has been SO VERY HORRENDOUS (see above for just one of many things it has ruined this summer) that we Brits need something to cheer ourselves up. So enter away, please. The frock of your choice will be posted to you when I select the winner.
The rest of the blog shall now continue, almost as it did before. Here it comes...!
How would you, yes YOU, like to win some stuff? I've teamed up with Heyday to offer you just that. Stuff. To win.
'What is the stuff, though?' you may be asking. Let me tell you!
You can win your very own Heyday Fleur dress in English Rose or Daisychain, so you can look just like the girls of the Vintage Mafia! Or like yourself. Up to you.
Crab claw impressions optional.
The Fleur is lovely in the black colourways, both black with daisies and pink roses: you can take your pick of the two, and your size (of course).
All you need to do to enter is to leave me a comment below (and be in the UK)!
Tweet about the competition publicly (by which I mean, don't begin the tweet by @-ing me, as only people who follow you AND me will see it), for an extra entry; but you MUST leave me a second comment to say you've done so for it to be counted. I will be matching comments with tweets, but it's all to make it easier to draw.
If you'd like a third entry, you can do a post on your own blog, but again, you must leave me a third comment to say so, with a link to your entry.
So, without further ado... get entering, gals!
Fleur x birthday
Fleurs + Gin
I'll close it a week today (19th July 2012). Good luck!

I would love to come over just for that occasion!I absolutely adore the Fleur dresses and the only reason I haven't ordered one yet is that there is allways a new fabouless fabric design and I can't decide!

ReplyDeleteHello Fleur and thank you for raising our spirits with this fabulous competition.

Thank goodness for you and your blog!

ReplyDeleteI would love to win your frock for my girlfriend as we are expecting to be away cruising in the near future and one should always look one's best on these sea voyages. I've nearly finished the ark and if the weather keeps up at this rate we should be off any day now. Best wishes.

I have the Mary dress but not the lovely Fleur and what's more i am unlikely to be able to affod to buy a Fleru dress and time during the next millenium to to my enoermous vets bills. (she has a heart problem and a back problem) was attacked by another horse, ripping a huge hole in her neck and narrowly missing the juglular vein (i supose you could say that was lucky) She had to be stitched up (out of hours-more money) in 3 layers taking 2 hours, Hence huge bill and two sad faces (hers and mine)
ReplyDeleteI need cheering up, surely.
I am entering and wishing all of us good luck! blowing a kiss to Fleur x
ReplyDeleteSo far this month I've had to buy a new car, then got a speeding ticket for doing 32mph (PAH! and MEH!), then the washing machine hung itself with an array of stray socks and I had to replace that too. I think after all that boobaar I'm entitled to something free.........right? haha!! xxxx
ReplyDeleteNot much of a lucky one but you gotta be in it to win it. And if I look half as good as you gals in that dress I'd be a happy bunny!
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I managed to win was the pub's 'Plate of Meat' raffle 8 years ago(and I'm a vegetarian!) so not very hopeful, but I would so love to win.
ReplyDeleteNew to this blogging stuff, but have just blogged about you to double my chances: www.adventuresinvintage.org May I Introduce You To..?
ReplyDeleteI would love a Fleur dress! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very sad that the festival has been cancelled, but I would very much like to win a Fleur dress, now that I don't have to collect it! Please enter me.
ReplyDeleteI would like to enter please! I don't think we've had a single sunny day here, I need cheering up.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, please count me in! I adore the Fleur dresses! xx
ReplyDeleteI've tweeted for another chance....I reeeeeeeeally want a Fleur! x
ReplyDeleteOh lovely, yes please, i have just the brolly to go with the dress!
ReplyDeleteOooh, yes please! I have the blue Fleur & would love a black one!
ReplyDeleteI've tweeted too! @gutnahofski
ReplyDeleteOoh, I hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI'm entering! Just got back from a very muddy festival and now have to post fest blues! I'm in love with the black with pink roses dress, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOhh you've done it now, gonna have to enter. Would love the rose print version of the dress as that is indeed my surname, so pick me pick me :-)
ReplyDeleteVikki x
I would very much like to enter please
ReplyDeleteI really don't mind which one there both stunning :)
Thanks for this contest. I know it's a rather mundane comment, but genuinely, I'm sure whoever wins this will feel like their day has been brightened. I rarely wear black dresses but les petites flears and the cut are loving and have enough detail to make the dress really flattering. Hope the next week for you holds more experiences and times to make you smile.
ReplyDeleteooh yes please, thank you Miss Fleur... a brand new twirly dress is just the ticket to brighten up this soggy farce of a summer <3
ReplyDeleteI would love a new frock! I'd love to enter!
ReplyDeleteI have just tweeted too! https://twitter.com/missfiddlededee
ReplyDeleteAh, I've had my eye on the English Rose Fleur dress, but haven't been able to save up for it yet.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
Such a pretty dress, hope it looks as fabulous on me as it does on you! xx
ReplyDeleteOh me...oh my...I would luuuuv to win that dress! It would cheer me up no end! Yes, the weather has dampened my mood, my pin curls, my cheap not-so-waterproof mascara (note to self: Must brollie-trot down to Boots for a replacement of the waterproof kind!), and I neeeeeed the dress! I too was looking forward to the Vintage Festival...sob...But, there is always next year! Thank you for the chance to win. I now have fingers crossed, and toes...let's hope cramp doesn't set in! Tania ♥
ReplyDeleteI have chirped and tweeted for another chance to win @ https://twitter.com/sewalittlelove :)
ReplyDeleteOh la la, those dresses are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the dresses, would love one, absolutely!!! Cheers Nx
ReplyDeleteDiving in at the very last minute and hoping I'm not too late! Such a gorgeous frock.
ReplyDeletefantastic prize i am new to all this and hope i have done it right fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeleteA Fleur frock would be frightfully fabulous - please put my name in the hat too! Best wishes Violette
ReplyDeleteOoh jumping in just before you close - a floral Fleur frock would be a fabulous choice for upcoming weddings and holiday to Boston - please add my name to the mix!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!

ReplyDelete...officially I think to be eligible for a 2nd entry I need to leave another comment to comment that other than my previous comment I have actually tweeted the competition I commented on. Think that makes sense. HOORAH!
ReplyDeletelove the rose print one :)
