Since I made it to Day 10 with no fashion or weight-loss fails, I'm having a little Giveaway.
I'll be celebrating this way at different milestones, so you'll definitely want to follow the blog so you don't miss out!

| Found on Ebay - you can buy it here |
Before we get to the fun stuff:
Starting Weight: 185 lbs
Current Weight: 183.2 lbs
Weight Loss to Date: 1.8 lbs
Currently Wearing Waist Size 33" and 34" Clothes
So, today's prize is inspired by one of my other challenges: makeup. Yes, I know there's lots of great YouTube tutorials for better make-up, but I seldom find the time. My thing is clothing - and bakelite- and so makeup has a history of taking a back seat with me. I recently bought the new Retro Makeup book, and have been working on that! Here's your prize:
What ARE they? Well, the first piece is a vintage lipstick applicator, designed to have you literally "stamp" your lip into the perfect popular shape of the time. Then, there are these fantastic mid-century make-up magnifying glasses. The glass on each eye is individually hinged, so you can do one eye with perfect precision, then the other. Third, you get your choice of one of my two favorite red lipsticks - MAC Russian Red or Ruby Woo!

I adored your outfit from the safari club !! Do you have any modelling experience?? I would quite like some modelling tips :) xx
ReplyDeletelove love your clothing challenge - and I think the lipstick thingie is keen!
ReplyDeleteHi ! Thanks for keeping us entertained with AAAALLLL of your awesome stuff ! The outfit I liked more was the Day 10 one, with the red sweater. Bright colours and bracelets, I love it ! Anyway, good luck for your weight loss challenge, keep on rocking !
ReplyDeletexoxo from France :)
Hi Julie! My favorite outfit was from day 7 at the Safari Club. That dress is just darling! I shared about your blog on facebook, but I can't really share a link to it since my page is set to private. :-/
ReplyDeleteI am loving your blog! Such a great challenge and I can't wait for more! I reallly loved your ensemble from your meet up with Sarah! You both looked stunning in those circle skirts and allll that gorgeous bakelite! xo
ReplyDeleteHello there!
ReplyDeleteYou and Vintage Vixen's blogs have completely changed the way I see vintage! Before I just thought "vintage is vintage" but now I'm finding that I'm more of a 30's-40's girl. I loved the outfit post on the turban, I've been obsessed with them and yours was perfect. I'm too short to wear those pants, but you looked smokin'!
Good luck and stay motivated! Just remember curves are always in style, no matter what people say!
i love your outfit from yesterday the camel circle skirt so cute! i saw you hate workout clothes i basically live in mine and live at the gym lol russian red is my favourite lipstick from MAC too!
ReplyDeleteFirst I have to say I have no idea where the 50lbs you want to lose is going to come from!! My favourite outfit so far is the 9th day with your 49er jacket; such lovely stained glass colours, and those green shoes!! Covet. Loving the FabGabs blog so far :)
ReplyDeleteThe Safari club outfit! It seems to be really popular too!
ReplyDeleteI just love all the photos you post, it makes me wish I was out there too!
I have to choose Day 8 as my favorite outfit post simply because you are wearing that AMAZING purple bakelite bracelet. I also love how you "framed" it with the two light green ones. I just thought the colors of that whole look were beautiful. Congratulations on your success so far in the challenge! It cant be easy but you make it look like it is!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fantastic, Julie! I've been checking out your daily outfits & you're a total babe! I loved the red ensemble from your first post :)
ReplyDeleteYou're keeping me so inspired with these posts, your candid thoughts about weight loss & workout clothes; I feel the same way! My grandmothers wore cotton one piece gymsuits to exercise in, can you imagine seeing a gym full of rompers today?! It would be the best :)
xoxo

I adore Day 7! the rusching at the waist and that plaid is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI loved your casual look on day 9. My life is not always compatible with skirts so I love casual looks! And more bakelite is always good too. ;)
ReplyDeleteOk I LOVE day 9! I am just starting to get into the vintage life and I LOVE all that you put on your site. Keep up the AWSOME work!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, congrats on the weight loss!! Way to go, girl!
ReplyDeleteSecond, Day 7 is my fave. :) I just love the summery look of it and those shoes too cute! Blues are becoming a fave color of mine.
I really like your look on day 9. Super adorable. I always love all the bakelite you wear, I'm trying to work on my collection.
ReplyDeletexo,
Em
I simply loved the dress on Day 2! So feminine and charming. You have such a flare for style!
ReplyDeleteShared! - though you're already a featured blog on my page!

My favorite was the light blue plaid dress
ReplyDeleteI really love day 6! I think I would like to see more about you hat collection, I'm a big fan of vintage hats.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit from Day 8. Those pants and that capelet are to die for. And let's not even get into how fabulous that purple bakelite bracelet is!

I loved the novelty skirt from Day 10 (like everyone you have also inspired me to buy some bakelite bangles!). Congrats on your aim for the 28 inch skirt. That is EXACTLY how I lost my baby weight (which I think was 7 kilos). I would do lap after lap of the pool (I'm Australian so we can swim a lot!) and think of the dress I was going to buy when I lost the weight. Towards the end I actually bought the most wonderful dress in the size I wanted to be (yes, I know that is dangerous!) and it worked like a treat. I also, I must add, literally worked my butt off at the gym. You are gorgeous, so don't change too much by the way!! Maria, An Australian Vintage girl living in France PS I have discovered that French women don't get fat because they don't eat anything processed - yes, lots of cheese and bread, but all very natural. Doesn't seem to be working for me though!
ReplyDeleteOops! I wasn't signed in properly before, but what I said above. Day 8! :) You know I love the 1930s stuff best, so more of that is always welcome.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your outfits but I am smitten by the circle skirt from day 6 - those filigree panels with van dyke bottoms, swoon!!! And I love how you daintily spread it out. Just gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the "What 50 pounds??" category here too. I appreciate that sometimes a woman doesn't feel right in herself and wants to shed a bit of excess, but that is a fairly big chunk for such a petite lass to lose. Please don't obsess about that number, and if you get glorious before then, do call it a day? :)
Has to be day 10's politically incorrect circle skirt! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love Day 6's outfit! The sweater especially! I can never seem to find nice mid-century knits and tops where I live...
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! I'm really enjoying your posts!
I've officially posted a shout-out on my blog.

I would like to see a bit more variety in different periods..I guess a bit of the extremes as well!
ReplyDeleteI wear glasses so doing my makeup is ALWAYS a challenge! I once saw a pair of glasses like that which were cat-eyes - so gorge! I love your outfit from day 10 - the bandanna with the novelty skirt is so cute. It has inspired me to look for a bandanna I can pair with one of my own skirts.
ReplyDeleteYour 1940's outfit is my favourite (black with stole & hat) but also l loved your picnic outfit with all of that beautiful bakelite....don't change a thing....great blog!
