The Vintage Fashion Journal Review & Giveaway


Please Note: This Giveaway is Now Closed.

The Vintage Fashion Journal, illustrated by Niki Pilkington, is gorgeously illustrated, well designed, and top quality.  It has a hardcover, fabric cover, ribbon closure, 128 pages, and a high cuteness factor.  Love it!  It would certainly make a delightful gift. 

The illustrations of 40's - 80's fashions and homewares are on the front and back cover and interspersed throughout the pages.   Also interspersed throughout the pages are quotes from famous style icons.  There are a mix of white and pastel coloured pages that are light lined, blank, or have light geometric prints.  

2 lucky Favourite Vintage Finds readers will each win a copy of The Vintage Fashion Journal.  The publisher of this journal, Laurence King Publishing, is sponsoring this giveaway.  To enter this giveaway, read on...
