Here's the last two collections of gals - such lovely ladies you all are!

Things that make me go WOW! Fur coat, stunning hawaiian-esque dress, and the FOX!

And the Winner Is!

ROCKABILLY BEBE!

But wait! Everyone who entered will get a little thank-you, too!

More information and AND more photos from the last minute entries to be added tomorrow!

Many, many thanks to all who participated! I had a LOT of fun. It is inspirational - not to mention a bloody comfort! - to see so many other well dressed gals out there. Because sometimes - just sometimes - I think we all wonder if maybe we're the only vintage obsessed weirdo in the world.

I'm totally thrilled that such stylish gals are participating! It is great to know that wherever the prize lands, it will go to someone that will use and enjoy whatever they "buy!"

Here's only some of the great entries so far - I'm trying to group them a little by theme into groups of three - there are two entries not yet represented. YES! That's right. Only 11 ladies have entered photographs to quality for the contest - you have a GREAT chance of winning the prize! So get me those photos, ladies! The next collection will be made once I have a twelfth photo!

If you sent a picture, you'll get an extra entry for tweeting or blogging about it, and ANOTHER entry for coming up with a cool way for me to promote my business!

Now, I'm gonna veg out with a movie. Cheers!

Be Yourself in Vintage! A Fab Gabs Vintage Giveaway!

I know, you won’t read anything past this, right? So what can you win?

A $75 Fab Gabs Gift Certificate, a box of Valentine’s chocolates and grab-bag surprise! Not bad, eh?


I wear vintage every. single. day. I’m not good with visual art or crafty things, so my personal style is the number one way that I express myself. My best friend lives several hundred miles away, so on occasion we send each other photos when we’ve really put ourselves together well. (Hurray for the iphone.) Okay, so its vain. I’m alright with that.


I want to see how YOU wear vintage and how YOU express yourself best!
The first way to enter this contest is simple: send me a photo of how you express yourself. I want to see how you wear your vintage or how you use what you create! The photos will be posted to this blog in batches, collage style. I’ll extra love you if you send camera phone pictures like these. You HAVE to do this entry to qualify for the other two chances! Email your photo to fabgabsgiveaway@aol.com Make sure to post a comment so I can count your entry easily!



If you've qualified by sending a photo expressing yourself, you’ll get a second entry for tweeting OR blogging about it! (You can blog/tweet first and send a photo after.) Post a separate comment here with a link once you do.

There’s a third way to get an entry, and it is pretty free form. Suggest, provide or brainstorm ways new and creative (also ethical and non-irritating) ways for me to promote my business. Please leave your comment in a separate comment to make it easy for me!


This contests begins when the blog is posted and ends Thursday, February 18th at 11:59 Pacific Time. The winner will be posted here and on Twitter by 9am Pacific Time Friday morning. In fact, I’ll post several times to Twitter to make sure everyone sees it! Good luck everyone! I’ll looking forward to this – it should be fun!
