Sponsored post: Smeg retro icon competition!

You may have swooned over the pretty Smeg Retro Line before, especially if you're in Europe, they seem quite popular on design and retro fashion blogs! And it's easy to see why, I just love their sleek 50s look and pretty colors, and every time I see one is someones vintage kitchen I'm just a little green with envy.

Ok, a lot green. Like, Mrs. Incredible Hulk green.

So I was quite excited when they contacted me as asked if I wanted to host a contest, with a £100 Topshop voucher prize! (That's appx. $150 for Americans). 


It's very simple. All you need to do is post on your blog "My Smeg Retro Icon is..." and post a little tribute to your favorite style icon. For instance I would begin with "My Smeg Retro Icon is Coco Chanel, for her daring way of dress and classic style." 

Just be sure to link to this site.

Then comment back here, posting a link to your entry post.

That's it!  

A winner will be chosen at random and announced Wednesday February 15th 2012. 

Looking forward to seeing your retro icons!

I am having a happy flashback. I had almost the same exact wallpaper in my bedroom growing up. The design was a little smaller and a slightly darker red.
everything in my room was either red or ivory. My mom wasn't thrilled with my choice, said it was wallpaper for a bordello not a seven year old girl (i had no idea what a bordello was, I've just always loved gaudy decor).

what is the name of that type of wallpaper design? I always have a hard time describing it.

My Smeg Retro Icon is Josephine Baker for her ability to dance around in nothing but items found in a Smeg refrigerator and be the glammest woman in town!

It was so hard to pick! So I chose women who took fashion from a previous era and made it their own!
