GIVEAWAY: Win a $50.00 gift certificate from online vintage clothing shop Vintage World Rocks

We're on a major giveaway roll here so far this year and April isn't going to be any exception!  To kick things off on that front this month, I'm absolutely delighted to bring you a generous $50.00 digital gift certificate giveaway from none other than Chronically Vintage's latest blog sponsor, the fantastic online vintage clothing shop Vintage World Rocks.




Launched in 2010 by Jillian Worthen as an eBay shop and in 2011 as an Etsy store, Vintage World Rocks recently added a standalone online shop to their roster which is what today's post will be shining the spotlight on.


With an ever-expanding selection of 1930s - 1980s vintage pieces (new updates are added weekly), all of which are in good to excellent shape, Vintage World Rocks presents a curated collection of very reasonably priced old school selections that are sure to catch the eye of any mid-century, late-century, or contemporary fashionista alike.

From top left to bottom right: 1980s Blue and White Vintage Polka Dot Short Sleeve Blouse - $15.00 | 1970s short sleeve peach maxi dress - $20.00 | 1980s teal blue pleated skirt - $10.00 | 1970s sheer red sleeveless dress - $15.00}


Their site is easy to navigate and greets you with an array of products that have been grouped together (at present) by colour, as shown in the screen capture earlier on in this post, which makes for a strikingly lovely homepage. Once there, one can search by clothing, bridal, and sale.


Vintage World Rocks has very generously offered one lucky Chronically Vintage winner the chance to win a $50.00 gift certificate to their shop, which can be used towards the cost of any item(s) that you'd like. Read on for all the exciting details!

One of the web's biggest draws - its scope and sheer magnitude of offerings - can also, at times, be amongst its greatest shortcomings, too, because it means that sometimes sites that deserve to be household names fail to come across the radar of so many people who would love to get to know them better. Thankfully, due to the very social nature of the web, that can remedied - at least to a degree - by collaborations between two or more sites. Today I'm thrilled to shine the spotlight for a second time on one of the largest and most well stocked vintage clothing sites that you may never have heard of before: The Best Vintage Clothing.

Teaming with, no joke, thousands of different vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories, shoe, handbag, menswear, children's clothing, and assorted collectible offerings, this powerhouse of a yesteryear fashion source has been diligently hard at work filling its shelves with so many offerings, I truly think it would be a challenge for any vintage fan, no matter the era(s) you hold nearest and dearest, not to find at least one - if not a hundred - offerings from The Best Vintage Clothing that you aren't head-over-heels in love with.

Earlier this year I shone the spotlight on Twenty great non-eBay or Etsy vintage sellers, a camp which this vintage clothing behemoth was (and is) a part of, and which I hope, along with last November's previous giveaway post, helped to introduce this awesome site to more of my readers.

If you're just learning about The Best Vintage Clothing or haven't paid them a visit in a while now, you're in luck!!! Their site continues to expand and get better and better - fittingly, one might say given their name - with each passing month. Boasting everything from budget friendly finds well under a $100 (a hugely appealing draw for vintage fashionista's, like me, who always keep a close eye on their purse strings) to high-end designer brands and uxorious fine jewelry, there's something for everyone at The Best Vintage Clothing, including plenty of pieces that fall squarely between the two camps. Plus, they have an engaging blog that focuses on vintage fashion, which is well worth checking out, too.

I could talk about The Best Vintage Clothing's offerings until the cows came home, but seeing really is believing, so it might just be wisest to invite you to pop on over to their vast and wonderful site for a look at the seemingly endless array of great vintage listings their yourself! There you'll discover piece such as the four highlightsed below, and oodles of other great vintage finds that are sure to provide some serious wishlist fodder and shopping spree material alike!




{From top left to bottom right: 1940s nubby orange rayon two-piece skirt and top set, Green fruit salad and blue rhinestone 1950s clip-on earrings, 1940s hand painted wooden novelty hourse brooch, 1950s hot pink and orange cocktail dress and matching hat set}



If you'd like to cross at least one of your newly coveted vintage treasures off your list, you may just be in luck, as I'm pleased as punch to say that The Best Vintage Clothing has very kindly offered one lucky Chronically Vintage reader the chance to win a $50.00 gift certificate which can be used towards the purchase of any item you like for their expansive inventory. Can you say "sweet" or what!!!

Worthy of visiting and shopping from often, The Best Vintage Clothing deserves in my entirely unbiased opinion to be a household name amongst vintage fashion fans the world over (they ship internationally, which is awesome for those like me who are located outside of the US). Few sellers outside of, or even on, Etsy or eBay, have the near department store-like scoop and variety of vintage items for sale that this site does and that alone makes them the kind of resource you'll want to bookmark and visit often.

I sincerely appreciate and want thank The Best Vintage Clothing for teaming up with Chronically Vintage again and for giving one fabulously lucky reader the chance to go on a $50.00 mini shopping spree of their own at what really is one of the best kept secrets on the web!

Enter to win a $40.00 store credit from awesome etsy shop 4TheLoveOfVintage

There's always something magical about the changing of the seasons, regardless of if you're eager to see the new one roll into town or not. Chances are, much as I am, you're pretty darn giddy about the fact that spring (or conversely, autumn, if you happen to life south of the equator) is here again - whether it looks like such outdoors yet or not.

Spurred on by the happiness that comes so naturally with the blossoming of a fresh season, I always adore giving gifts to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter of the year and today I'm delighted to bestow upon one lucky winner the chance to receive a fabulous present in the form of a $40.00 (US) store credit from one of Chronically Vintage's newest sidebar sponsors, etsy shop 4TheLoveOfVintage.

The virtual shelves of this delightful shop are currently brimming with more than 350 vintage items spanning a spectrum of everything from lingerie to housewares, clothing to jewelry and scores more to boot.

Offering worldwide shipping, thoroughly reasonable prices, and wonderfully lovely customer service, visiting 4TheLoveOfVintage's etsy shop feels a bit like popping into your favourite thrift store or weekend flea market, where household items mingle with vintage clothing alongside plenty of covetable ephemera, and you never quite know just what sort of can't-live-without treasure you're going to spot next.



{Four delightful offerings from 4TheLoveOfVintage current inventory of the kind you could put your $40.00 store credit towards if you win this week's giveaway. From top left to bottom right: Vintage Nasco Nesting Bowls Snack Set, Vintage Enamel Daisy Brooch, 1960s yellow cardigan sweater, White 1960s wicker handbag}



4TheLoveOfVintage has very generously teamed up with Chronically Vintage this month to celebrate spring's return and present one lucky winner with a $40.00 store credit that can be applied to any item, or items, purchased from their etsy shop. This store credit will not expire and can be used in full (during one transaction) or over the course of multiple purchases up until the point that the $40.00 value it entails has been spent.

Sites like 4TheLoveOfVintage are a particular favourite of mine, eclectic secondhand store loving gal that I am, and I flat out adore it when shops of this nature become blog sponsors here. They're chalked full of interesting, fun, and fashionable delights at affordable prices and are blast to pursue from the comfort of one's own home (unlike an actual thrift store) 24/7/365.

Thank you very much, Kerry and 4TheLoveOfVintage, for your sponsorship and generosity, as well as for giving one of my marvelous blog readers a gift that no doubt start their spring (or fall) off on an even more joyful note this year.


Best of luck and many thanks to everyone who enters this giveaway!
