It's a Marc Jacobs Giveaway!
Denise of The Blue Gardenia, aka The Woman Who Organizes the Best Giveaways Ever, has provided a little celebration in honor of Marc Jacobs's birthday. Side note: did you know he just turned 47? Looking good!
Here's what's up for giveaway. First, a rare Vogue Marc Jacobs skirt pattern. There are three variations, and it's a size 16-18. Clean, classic, lovely!
Second, a tube of MAC pro Longwear Lipcreme in Prolong, a classic red. (I had no idea there was a MAC red lipstick that I didn't own yet. This must be rectified.)
Third, a bottle of Zoya Dovima, a metallic smokey gray nail polish. I saw some similar shades in a magazine recently, and they looked amazing. Plus, it's named after the fabulous 50s model who was a favorite of Dior.
The overall combo? Fierce! I think Marc would approve.
To enter, just leave a comment here by midnight on Sunday EST. All countries eligible.
A big thanks to Denise of The Blue Gardenia!

Nice! I love that skirt! And that lipstick!! And that nail polish!!! Thanks for organizing this great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow, so excited about that skirt pattern (and it's in my size!) Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying that I'm going to learn how to put on lipstick when I grow up. If I win this giveaway I'll have no excuse to put it off. My 59th birthday is just around the corner, so it might be time!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. That's a really lovely skirt.
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway - count me in! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing giveaway! I'm really loving that Zoya polish especially. Count me in! :)

Please enter me in this. I love red lipstick and the pattern isn't bad either.
ReplyDeleteSize 18 Marc Jacobs! Wow if I could ever be so lucky.
ReplyDeletethat lipstick looks awesome. count me in.
ReplyDeletewow, what a classy combo!
ReplyDeleteI can't belive it! A contest that even those of us here in the Great White North can enter! Woot!
ReplyDeleteAny of the prizes would be awesome - but most especially the skirt pattern or the lipstick.

OMG what a great giveaway. I love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have been so inspired by you!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win! The pattern is such a classic look.
Great stuff! Thanks for the chance to win.

Oh that skirt- Be still my beating heart- it's In. My. Size. OMG!!!
ReplyDeleteFingers tightly crossed and a big thank you for the lovely giveaway!
There is never a bad time to get a great skirt pattern. Also, that nail polish is killer. I've been hunting a flat gray for me for awhile but I just love shiny things too much. That shade is perfect. And if you pick me to win, I'll mail you the lipstick. Much as I love it, hubby told me I looked old when I wore red lips and even though I think he's lying because he hates lipstick, he won this mindgame. I can't bring myself to put it on anymore. Sad face. But happy for you! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI love all three and would wear them together!!!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness the pattern!! Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOooh, how I love Marc Jacobs. And that skirt pattern! If I can't afford his clothes, I may as well make them!
ReplyDeleteLove Marc Jacobs' creations! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI could definitely use a new red lipstick, and I don't have a grey shade of nailpolish at the moment. I wonder how the sizing on that skirt pattern is? It's within a few of my size so there is definitely potential there. Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! This is terrific! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, fab prizes! Thanks, and count me in!
ReplyDeleteWow! And the pattern is in my size!
ReplyDeleteWhoop! I hope I win.
ReplyDeleteGosh that nail polish is gorgeous! Me please :D
ReplyDeleteDigging on that pattern! Must have please!
ReplyDeleteYay! A giveaway I'm not precluded from entering by virtue of living in France! I think grey might be my new toenail colour of choice eve if I don't win...
ReplyDeleteYummy trio. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I love the lipstick and polish! I love the skirt but the pattern is too large for me. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Love that polish! HB Marc!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIn other news, my sewing machine is in the shop and I think I am going through withdrawal. O_O I ought to handsew all the bra strap snap ribbons into my tops and sweaters like I've been meaning to, but it's just not the saaaaame~
Doesn't he just look fantastic? I love the pattern. I love red lipstick. I have not run across the gray nail polish, but looks interesting. Pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, i wouldn't think he would be that age! looking yummy!!
ReplyDeletelove the nailpolish btw, love love love
:)

ReplyDeleteI love your blog, it's one of my favorites, full of inspiration and tips to help me be a better sewist. Great giveaway - please count me in!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of red lipstick! And now I must explore one that claims to be "long wearing"... :)
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! So hoping to win!
ReplyDeleteI want that skirt. The pencil silhouette is very nice. It would look great with my new gray nail polish!
ReplyDeleteNice skirt pattern & lipstick color! Nail polish is cool, too! Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a good skirt pattern!
ReplyDeleteGotta be in it to win it! This grey nail polish has me intrigued. I loved/love the short nails with black polish fad - but grey? I think I want to try it!
ReplyDeleteWhat great nail polish! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern looks great. I love the shade of lipstick.
ReplyDeleteLove this giveaway! Thanks!

Here's hoping I can rock the look:)
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! That polish is to die for.

ReplyDeleteThe skirt is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love that pattern! And the lipstick and nail polish are easy on the eyes, too...
ReplyDeleteWhat girl doesn't love Marc Jacobs and cosmetics!! Major Score on all accounts. Elliott Berman just had 50% off sale and I purchase some "to die for" hot pink brocade fabric from Marc Jacobs to make a jacket - and now maybe a matching skirt! Thanks Gertie & Blue Gardenia for the great give away!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSkirt looks very cool! A friend said she thought that type of center-pleat would be very flattering to me, so I'll cross my fingers.
ReplyDeleteA pattern in my size? What are the odds of that!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt! And what a great excuse to start wearing nailpolish again. :)
ReplyDeleteI would so use that skirt pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This may be my favorite giveaway I've seen this year. Thanks to you both!
ReplyDeleteThe Longwear Lipcremes are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOhh I love that grey zoya! Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Marc Jacobs! I saw some of his fabric at Mood for $35/yd and considered it for my Lady Grey coat, but restrained. Anyway, that red lipstick is fabs!
