And the winner of the Worn Fashion Journal prize pack is...

Mondays isn't exactly famous for being the best day of the week, and when you open your eyes to a thick layer of shimmery frost on the inside of your windows and howling winds blowing -22C temps outside, it can take giving yourself quite a mental pep talk to emerge from the snuggly, toasty cocoon of your bed. However, brushing these points aside, I was definitely excited to get up today (despite the near arctic weather), bright and early, so that I could draw the winner of the Worn Fashion Journal prize pack giveaway.

 

The post about this giveaway received twenty nine comments, amongst which a random number generator selected number 26 as the winner. This comment belongs to none other than Liz from the serenely pretty blog Liz Secret Rendezvous. Joyful congrats on winning, Liz! I'll be contacting you this morning with further details about your lovely prize pack.

I want to thank each of your sweet dears who took part in this wonderful giveaway. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time reading your comments regarding what your favourite kind of fashion magazines are, and have to say that by and large, I share many of the same sentiments and taste in glossies that you gals do.

Many sincere thanks go out to the awesome team at Worn Fashion Journal as well, for collaborating with Chronically Vintage on this contest. It was a pleasure to work with you, and to share my passion for your absolutely stellar, highly interesting magazine with my readers (again).

Oodles of congrats again to our lucky winner, Liz! I hope that your magazine prize pack (consisting of five issues of Worn and a couple of adorable pin-back buttons), will help bring a marvelous dose of warm, happy feelings and scads of fashion inspiration your way!

We’re giving away a fabulous Worn Fashion Journal prize pack

The new year is here, which means it's time to kick off another stellar round of giveaways! To celebrate January and the vast amount of uncharted territory that this year still eagerly holds in store for us, Chronically Vintage has teamed up with the wonderful folks at Worn Fashion Journal to offer you the chance to win a prize pack consisting of five different issues (specifically issue numbers 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) of this deeply wonderful magazine, as well as a couple of super fun (pin back) buttons (see photos below).

I first fell head-over-heels in love with Worn Fashion Journal at the tail end of 2009, and have been enchantingly smitten with it ever since. For those who haven't had the opportunity to spend time with this creative, immensely cool magazine yet, let me tell you a bit about it.

Worn is an independent fashion magazine for those who like more than just unfathomably expensive haute couture and endless ads in their glossies. (They also have a frequently updated website that is equally rich in fascinating fashion related content, and can be found all over the interwebs in place like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and etsy – the later of which you can purchase subscriptions to,  and pass issues of, Worn from.)

 

{I don't know who this lovely woman holding the Worn Journal prize pack is, but I absolutely love her ruby red coat and delightfully vintage looking brown shoes.}

This magazine, which is produced biannually and based out of Toronto, is rich in stories and images about all manner of modern and vintage, highly creative fashion related topics that are not the same old, same old we've all become mind-numblingly accustomed to in most mainstream women's publications.

For a more detailed look at why Worn won my heart over the first time I opened its crisp pages up, be sure to swing by this post from December 2009 in which I gush passionately about the marvelous qualities of this creative magazine.

Anything and everything that can perk up this freezing month is a huge plus in my books, and it's my sincere hope that this fun contest will help bring a dose of sunshine to your day and give you something (the potential of winning) to look forward to.

Thank you very much - and the very best of luck - to everyone who enters!
