If you live in Austin you may have picked up a copy of RARE magazine, the fashion issue, in the last couple of weeks. If you have, you may have noticed a surprisingly fresh fashion spread.

The fantastic thing about this is that Alan Foreman, the photographer, is a native! Or a local... who knows how long he has lived here the point is that he does! Austin does have it's own burgeoning fashion scene but Mr. Foreman's resume includes various international ELLE'S, Blackbook, and a Vogue (Spain according the web site.) Those are credentials we don't see much of here because they hoard them in NYC and other such bright lights big cities! I also happen to know that he and his wife have started a brand new model management company, the absence of which was, in my opinion, a void in Austin until now. They have girls flying all over the country, signing with major agencies, appearing in NYLON for goodness sakes. Enough of that, you'd think I was trying to work with the man or something... ahem. His work speaks for itself.

The Prizes!

I am making THREE gift packs that are all vintage, all from the heart :) I will be including vintage jewelry, a vintage scarf, and something else, who knows. I will gift wrap your present and mail it to the winner by Wednesday, December 16th. I am actually GOING SHOPPING for these gifts, not just selecting from the magnolia family closet. Fancy, right?

How to Enter!!

While this is all in the holiday spirit, I am still going to use it to my advantage. Winners will be chosen at random from followers of the Magnolia Family Vintage twitter account on Monday, December 14th. That's five days to push ONE BUTTON that says follow. I want to get 100 followers by Christmas! I will put your name in the drawing twice if you tweet about this giveaway, this blog, my awesomeness, etc, etc. You will have to message me or comment to let me know if you have payed it forward though. I wouldn't want to miss it!

Who doesn't like a pretty gift under their tree from a stranger? No one doesn't like that.

Ok, got it? Follow the shop ON TWITTER to win a super cute, hand-picked, holiday gift package from the family de magnolia aka me, and Magnolia Family Vintage.

If anyone else out there with superior google skills can find this whole series, I will send you a lock of my hair and a recipe for honeybun cake. No kidding.

Nevermind! High fives and candy apples for Hilarie who directed me to the Zinio web site and WHABAM. I added the rest of the gorgeous set.


On a different note!
