Quaintrelle Give Away!

First up I want to say a big thank you to everyone who follows Quaintrelle Life!

Since we are now just over 250 followers here on the blogger, it seems like jolly good timing for a good old fashioned give away!

Up for grabs is this little instant wardrobe set of accessories including white gloves, hair bows, Lipstick (in Carmine), and some of my favorite teas.  Everything you need to turn your favorite vintage dress into your favorite vintage outfit.

I really enjoy writing this blog, so this might be a good time too to find out more about what you enjoy reading here (to make sure you have as much fun reading it!) and that's the theme for the give away...

To Enter:
  • Leave a comment on this post letting me know what you would like to see more of on this blog! (in keeping with the blogs focus, so please nothing specific to lolita)
  • You must be a follower of this blog (LJ followers please follow us here to enter, we can do more with the blog if we can show people a more accurate number of our followers at the side here)
  • The Give away is open till October 20th and the winner will be drawn out of a hat, and announced October 21st! (Drawing has been moved to the 23rds since I'm out of town again till then)
Good luck guys!

  8. I would love to see more vintage beauty tips! I love when you post about manicures, hair tips, and things like that, because they're such a good way to incorporate vintage elegance into daily life. They're usually also very affordable and easy to do, since they come from a time when women had fewer resources (like time and money) to devote to their appearance.

  9. I'd love to see things on corsets, DIY projects, and progress photos of your own works before you post the finished results :)

    Thanks! Great giveaway.

  16. I follow on livejournal. I would really like to see budget options. Like, free craft patterns, or thrifting stories, maybe user submitted. I know there are a lot of us that are poor college students, so it would be great to see what people can find and make when they put their mind and heart into it. Thriftyness would be super, "waste not, want not" type deal.

    Thank you for the opportunity!

  42. Hi! I really enjoy reading your blog. I'd love to see more tutorials or tips on how to bring a little vintage elegance into my daily routine. Decorating, food, small accessories which do a great job. Thanks for all posts that already exist!
    Best wishes,
    Ty

  43. I absolutely adore your lifestyle posts and tutorials, so I would really love to see more of them. I'd especially enjoy more content related to sodas, as I also don't drink alcohol and would love to have more delicious, yet mature, alternatives.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I always admire your hair and I would LOVE to see more hair tutorials.

  46. Tutorials are always fun, so more of those, please. I just found your blog through Vintage Network and it's so great. Just started following.

    I actually have a giveaway happening on my blog as well: http://www.popomaticdeluxe.com/2011/10/peek-brooklyn-launch-party.html

  47. That's a difficult question to answer, as I love what you post already. I love the variety you use, such as soda recipes, hair tutorials, and discussions about retro and antique devices for the home and boudoir. I think I would like to see some makeup tutorials and how to make more things, such as accessories for one's self and the home.

    Also, you inspired my boyfriend to purchase a soda stream for our last anniversary, and I've been delighted by it. So thank you. ^_^

    And thank you for the opportunity to win such a lovely set.

  48. I'd love to read how you go about your fabulously vintage day.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love all of your posts so far. I would like to see some post about hair styling and make up as well ways you bring vintage into your everyday life.

  50. I would like to see more Hair tutorials...maybe should the opportunity arise, different hair types?
    Also: MAKE-UP!!! I am LOST on this most of the time. I love the historical bits, and the information as to back ground on what you are currently working on.

    I would especially love ideas for putting together outfits for special occasions: weddings (my impending wedding is most of my thinking right now); Christmas, Halloween (classy, pretty, but still flirty and sexy without being skeezy, maybe even along the lines of vintage costumes); holidays, and other special events.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'd love to see more tutorials. I'm a very crafty so I love tutorials!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'd love to see some more beauty how-to's! Specifically skincare; all the vintage ladies had lovely porcelain-like skin but how did they maintain it? More craft tutorials would be fantastic as well! Thanks for writing this amazing blog!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I really liked you last post, listing the pros and cons of getting a drastic haircut. I'd like to see more support for hair styling, since that is something there aren't many resources for! Maybe you can do a tutorial for retro hairstyles, or how to style hair while wearing a hat or vintage hair accessory?

    I'd also like to see something along the lines of "this item, worn several ways", like a vintage dress, scarf, or cardigan. I'm sort of clueless on where to start when it comes to vintage fashion, but maybe if you showed some staples and how to work them a few ways, the style would be more accessible for beginners. ^^ Rock on!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Like most everyone, I love your outfit/hair posts. However, I would also love to see more things like: magazine clipping posts, reviews of your favourite Golden Age of Hollywood movies, actress spotlights, advice on vintage styling (or how to get certain looks i.e. from movies, photos etc) and, well, anything vintage inspired you can think of!

    Keep up the good work!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I would like to see posts on putting outfits together, getting the "polished" finished look.

    I follow on blogger :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I love the vintage style, which is the focus of this blog. My tastes run from the English Regency to the 1960s, so it's a good match. I watch this blog for hairstyling tips as well as the ways in which you recommend how it's possible to incorporate vintage style with the modern look. My hair is very long. I normally wear it in a chignon or in garland braids or a French twist. But I wonder if there are vintage styles for very long hair. As my hair reaches halfway down my thigh and curls close to the bottom, I would appreciate styling tips for long hair.

  57. p/s: I do follow this blog on blogger.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'd to see more tutorials for styling your hair, and perhaps crafts?

    I'm following on blogger (after having your page bookmarked for ages)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I know I'll sound like a broken record, but I would love more tutorials on hairstyling! Your locks always look flawless and I'd love to try recreating those looks. Also more outfit posts, maybe, and I'd love to see posts on vintage style food and beverages and being the perfect vintage hostess. Eating and drinking the same things as someone 50+ years ago is really great...I feel so connected with the past...creepy cool: )

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love your lifestyle posts. The addition of a little pleasant gentility makes my day so much better. :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Lifestyle stuff is great! And it's because you can try to do all the stuff yourself after reading your blog. It's inspiring.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'd love to see more hairstyles! I hardly know how to use rollers, so I need help!
