Sponsor Profile and Giveaway: Darling Vintage
As most of you know, I had the chance to hang out with Diane from Darling Darling blog this weekend. She is absolutely adorable and when I first hugged her, she is so petite and cute, I thought my big hair was going to eat her alive. We talked about everything from music, to boyfriend/husband, candy, Michael Cera, fashion, libraries, everything. I’ll admit I don’t get out much since I work from home. Being social for me is having my husband and two cats in one room. I was nervous but felt totally comfortable and I hope to hang out again without getting us lost!
I’ve done a profile on Diane before, on her take on style, but if you are not familiar with her blog, she has an etsy shop, Darling Vintage. Just like her take on fashion, she also has the same taste to pick out her clothes in her shop. She has everything from adorable rompers, florals, chic dresses, and she is offering up one of her items from her shop! Check out some of my favorite items:

Sounds like a lovely way to spend a weekend Diana! Diane has such amazing style and her shop is pretty darn cute. I didn't want to bite your choices, but I really do love that pink gingham ascot pussy bow dress of hers. Keeping fingers crossed!
Vintage cropped blue and white cropped top!!! Such a cute top would go with everything this summer!!What a super giveaway! P.S. I am very envious of your life with your two pussy cats and man – I'm absolutely hanging out for a small furry person!
I was perusing the store just last week, and bemoaning the fact that I have to save my money. If I were to win this, it would make my life. My heart is definitely set on the Pink Gingham Pussy Bow Dress. I'm trying get more "ladylike" clothes, and this would be a perfect additon.
I just took a look and its such an adorable shop. Definitely going to my favorites. I love the clothes, but I especially love the vintage classic black boyfriend blazer.clairebeareatsyou@gmail.com
Ahhhh. The romper at the end is my favorite. GIMME?!
My favourite item in her store is the gray & pink striped dress – very cute. Sounds like you two had a lovely time! ^__^
oh, everything in there is DARLING! but my favorite is the nautical blue and white striped dress
i love it all though!
OH Diane!! How can I forget her! She has an uber librarian chic fashion sense, I love your interview back then. Btw, I love Vintage Pink Floral Dress With Hidden Side Pockets from her store, but I'm not really sure I can fit into… and what are you two talking about Michael Cera? Just curious, because I happen to think he's cute.
i love Darling DArling. She's brilliant. And i always love her photos on the backyard with those dresses hanging. So cute.
Wow lovely shop and wonderful giveaway! I reallyreally like the dresses, specially Vintage Pink Gingham Ascot Pussy Bow Dress and Burnt Orange Sleeveless Floral Dress with Corset in Back
I've had my eyes on the Vintage Quilted Brown Collared Coat for a while now. I am buying a new camera tomorrow, though, so I cannot really justify buying new clothes at the moment! Would be perfect for fall, though
Man, I bet you two hanging out was all sorts of awesome! Sounds pretty good, anyway!
Oh ! I love everything !
I like the vintage pink gingham ascot but there are a couple I like. Too bad we don't share the same dress size. Her sence of style is so sweet.
Love it… Beautiful
The vintage cream dress looks really adorable

I love her etsy shop! The blue and white striped dress with the pleats is definitely my favourite
Aw. I'm glad your meetup was good! I would love to hang out with you in person some time… I'm kind of a loner most of the time, but I have chatty/social periods, too. It's hard reaching that balance in NY.
Vintage Two Tone Grey Dress is to die for! Love love love love it!
so fun that you guys met!!! I think that my fav item is the vintage velvet plum dress….it is super short, but the cut and collar are too cute!
Oh my, that second dress is absolutely stunning! How beautiful
Hope you're having a lovely day dear.

Liz said…Ahhhh. The romper at the end is my favorite. GIMME?!AGREED :p
I love that white dress she's wearing in the first picture…absolutely darling!
the white dress is so elegant and pretty…
She does have a great shop! I love the Max Fischer blazer
Ooh yay! I loove the Max Fischer velvet blazer (and not just because it reminds me of Rushmore). What a great store!
I am so in love with the Vintage Nautical Blue White Striped Dress. For some reason it reminds me of tennis in the 20s. And I can't resist stripes.
yeah, lots of lovely stuff! Most of it is too small for me, but the Vintage Gray and Pink Striped Dress: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26857354 is just perfect!
My favourite would be the vintage turquoise teal plaid sleeveless shirt dress, another proof of my shirt dress addiction!Her shop is really wonderful, I just added it to my favourites
the nautical blue white striped dress with knife pleats is amazing!automaticsoap [at] yahoo [dot] com
I'm eyeing the two toned grey dress! Thanks for the giveaway
There is a lot of flotsam and jetsam on the internet in regards to vintage fashion, and its hard to find someone with a unique eye. Diana seems to really have it and hence is one of my favourite vintage bloggers/sellers and it's great too because I get to see a lot of unique stuff I wouldn't see otherwise! (I'm from Australia, and while we have some great vintage stockists it's hard to find stores that stick to a certain style or quality of garment – most are just out for a buck.) (I also respect that she shops for different sizes, and not just those that she personally fits.)I've had my eye on the vintage plaid collared secretary dress because I'm obsessed with round collars and feminine dresses/cuts in masculine/unisex colours.
Gievaways are so fun! one of these days I'll have to get around to doing one myself! I love that you thought your hair would swallow her whole! I'm definitely entering: my personal favourite item, which I have totally had in my watched item now for ages, but haven't bought due to a self imposed online shopping ban is: Vintage AMAZING Carole King Beige Striped Wiggle Dress XSfingers crossed!
I love the Vintage Colorfully Striped Mini Shirt Dress! It's so awesome:)
yay! I love her blog so much, and she likes pretty words almost more as I do! My favourite item from the shop is the Vintage Floral Sweetheart Button-Up Mini Dress XS. I'm not even sure if I'd manage to squeeze into a size xs, but otherwise I'll just give it to my skinny friend for her birthday and tell her to visit Darling Vintage for more lovely garments.
Oh oh oh! The pastel Madras romper with cute button details!! I want!
I think it's adorable that you two got to hang out!
Aww yay!! I'm glad you two had fun together. ^_^ I desperately wish the red oxfords would fit me.. but I think I'm most in love with the navy romper!
my favourite is Vintage Blue Plaid Jumper with Suspender Straps, though i dont think it would actually fit me. but the shops full of lovelythings, i'm sure something would (ha ha)diane's lovely, isn't she? xx
I just Started reading her blog, and I have already fallen in love with her sense of style.Maybe one day I'll get to meether too!In anycase, my favorite piece has got to be the Vintage Colorfully Striped Mini Shirt Dress
heehee can i shamelessly enter and say i want that red pair of oxfords, it's in my size whoopee!
I think my favorite is the Vintage Blue Red Plaid PUNK Sweetheart Dress. I am also a fan of the Vintage Black Esprit Floral Button-Up Skirt – very 90s!
I'd like to have that last plaid romper OR the red shoes. I was just thinking to myself today how I hate not having interesting shoes. Every day I wear these gray flats with tiny black polka dots and a stupid black bow and it's so cliche it pisses me off.
I'm so jealous…when are we hanging out lady?
Gypsy Den…The two tone grey dress is amazing.You seriously DO know the coolest girls. Prob because you are one. XO
I like the Vintage Madras Plaid Pastel Romper. Diane has such a fun writing style, clever clever girl
thanks for the give awaytacosRforever@yahoo.com
Please I love the red oxford jazz flats!
You have a lot of great stuff. My favorite has to be the Vintage Pink Gingham Ascot Pussy Bow Dress. But I also love the vintage plaid a-line skirt and the Vintage Red Oxford Jazz Flats.
oh, I love her blog as much as her vintage shop! I especially love the recently listed Heather Gray Silk Angora Cardigan.It would be perfect for fall days. thanks for this giveaway!xxwanderer03@libero.it
I adore the Vintage Red Oxford Jazz Flats… and everything else on her site, to be honest. But those shoes… they're just so darn perfect. A wonderful giveaway!
