GIVEAWAY: Win the Born Bad Betty pair of shoes of your choice


Goodness me, gals, do I have one seriously swell - and very generous - giveaway for all of you here today. As you may recall from this outfit post a couple of weeks ago, I recently had the pleasure of receiving a complimentary pair of fabulously cute strawberry adored heels from UK shoe retailed Born Bad Betty.

In that post I promised to share with you more about this exciting relative newcomer on the vintage inspired/pinup perfect footwear front and today I'm going to do just that. An independent ladies shoes and accessories company with a penchant for marrying feminine touches with sizzling hot panache, the brand currently stocks a range of charming, very wearable heels and flats, as well as a seriously swoon-worthy newly launched line of mid-century perfect handbags.




The brand sprang to life after the founder discovered a massive passion for the curve hugging styles of the 1950s following the birth of her two darling children. While clothing wasn't too hard to come by, she just wasn't hitting on many pairs of well made, attractive, comfortable vintage or vintage style shoes that jazzed with her own aesthetic. And thus after months of experimentation with different styles, fabrics and embellishments, Born Bad Betty shoes came to be, with the website hopping online in the summer of 2013.




In 2014, BBB had the distinction of making it all the way to the finals in the Breakthrough Business category of the National Vintage Awards. Currently you can find Born Bad Betty's offerings in various boutiques throughout the UK and Europe, with worldwide shipping from the site's official shop. The brand’s offerings are in full (no half sizes at present) modern ladies sizes and span a spectrum of different style that are sure to find favour with fans of numerous decades.




Fun, fresh, beautiful and more than a little bit stylish, Born Bad Betty's shoes - which marry sweetness with glamour and plenty of pinup girl-ness allure - are a great way to add pizzazz and a pop of old school style to your wardrobe. I've dotted photos of some of their glamorous and very wearable offerings throughout this post to help give you a sense of what this line carries, but you'll definitely want to click through to BBB's website and checkout the full range for yourself.

A new pair of shoes and spring go hand in hand like the Easter bunny and carrots in my books. It's time to set your feet free from the doldrums of winter and let them shine once more - sans risk of frostbite - and what more charmingly stylish way to do that than in a pair of Born Bad Betty's awesome vintage inspired offerings?

I know that I'll definitely be putting a lot of miles on my strawberry stunners this spring and summer, and would be willing to wager that the winner of today's Born Bad Betty giveaway will be enjoying their new pair of heels or flats a great deal, too, in the coming sun-kissed months.




Thank you very much to Born Bad Betty for so kindly offering one of my awesome Chronically Vintage readers the chance to win any pair of your gorgeous vintage inspired shoes of their choice, and to all those who take part in this fun giveaway.

Fingers and - rather fittingly in this case :) - toes crossed that you win!

Vintage 365: Awesome sailor tattoo art flats from Plasticland

Day 9 of Vintage 365

While the chilly, snow speckled world outside many of our doors right now calls for the mandatory wearing of boots or other heavy-duty footwear while facing the elements, there's something wonderfully upbeat (and reminiscent of warmer seasons) about slipping on a pair of ultra cute shoes as soon as you get indoors. Flats fit this bill perfectly. They can literally be tossed into a purse and totted with you to the office, school, a friend's house, on an airplane - wherever you're headed.

The cheerful pair above is a new addition to Plasticland's inventory (where they’re available for $43.00) and one that really caught my eye. I love the fact that these lively shoes are both versatile (thanks to the their mostly white and black palette and classic shape), yet also bursting with vintage (and rockabilly) charm thanks to the sailor inspired tattoo art (of precious little birds) near the back heels.

I could see these awesome nautical style flats (which are vegan friendly and available in standard ladies whole sizes) working with everything from vintage jeans and plaid shirts in the winter to navy, black or red wiggle dresses in the summer - and am sure they would help brighten even the dreariest, snowiest of January days! :)
