    You are my go-to person for gift ideas.
    Being an abysmally poor student leaves me with a sore hip-pocket syndrome when it comes to buying gifts, but with Mr. Kate…I can MAKE pretty things instead. Which leaves a gigantic grin on my friend’s faces:)

    Love the Zen sneaks! They’d be perfect for work, maybe with a pair of cropped/boyfriend khakis and a belted button-down/cardigan…I’m an elementary school counselor, so they’d make running up and down the hallway easier on my toes. :o ) I posted the giveaway to facebook, twitter and pinterest.

  • MichelleB.

    Nouvelle Mode #15. It’s a beautiful dress and when I read the following, I fell in love, “I wanted my dresses to be constructed, molded upon the curves of the feminine body…” Being a curvy girl, I have a hard time finding elegant dresses. This is just so beautiful.

    And an interesting fact about me….. for four years now, I’ve wanted to become a contortionist. Not to be in the circus or anything. Just to impress my friends. =]

  • Michelle Payton

    I tweeted about this giveaway, liked this post on Facebook and my favorite item over at Shabby Apple is their Summer Wind dress… so retro-chic!

    An interesting thing about me is that I know all the lyrics to all of the songs to my all-time favorite broadway show, The Phantom of the Opera :)

  • Jessica

    I shared the giveaway on my FB page and liked shabby apple. My name is Jessica Martini and I grew up in Huntington Beach, CA so I am a beach girl but looooooove Vintage! Love Mr. Kate! Hope all of you are having a great day :)

  • Tess

    Hello gals and goons! lol. I shared this awesomeness of a deal + giveaway to all my lucky friends on FB and I LOVE vintage! My ENTIRE home is resale, garage sale and vintage. Just like Mr.Kate, I can find beauty in items that are not brand new and just need a little TLC. Mr.Kate, as long as my family, inspires me to live a life of frugality; cherishing all the items that sometimes only costed a few cents. I now keep the cycle going with my 6-year-old daughter who, just like me, loves looking through all the treasures at such stores that sell so many neat things. Like the old saying goes. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

  • ErinA3112

    I like the dress “red fir.” 60′s collars are adorable.

  • http://twitter.com/coco_jd JD

    If they had the Academia dress in my size, I would rock my archive with it.
