Kittens if there’s one thing I have told you time and time again, it is that I am in complete and utter adoration of the 1920’s. A point in time marred by flappers, bobbed hair, jazz music, t-strap shoes crafted for dancing the Charleston long into the night alongside dapper boys, and New York City’s Harlem Renaissance. It was the writing of my beloved F. Scott Fitzgerald who turned me on to the era, instilling an obsession within me; but more recently I can place blame upon Sophie Kinsella. Since delving into the pages of her latest bewitching story
Twenties Girl, I have come to the conclusion that, in the same fashion as the tale’s fiery protagonist Lara Lington, there is absolutely nothing wrong with allowing a little twenties flair to permeate from your pores even in the year 2009. Which, I presume, is precisely how
two (2) of you lovelies will be feeling this time next week when you find out whether or not being a Twenties Girl is in your future. But alas; you’re all curious to know what I’m going on and on about, I’m sure.
In true holiday spirit, and the hope of bringing a bit of old glamour and natty noir-influenced nostalgia to your winter must-reads, Café Fashionista has teamed up with Random House to bring
two (2) lucky readers their very own copy of
Twenties Girl!

I love the 20s. I love Sophie Kinsella. I love you and your blog! Fab giveaway, and it looks like a really great book to get lost in during the horrible January months. Exciting!
oh fun!! i'm in need of some good new books!
Darling I adore the 20s and F Scott Fitzgerald - I regularly switch between fantasies of being Daisy Buchanan and Nicole Diver
Of course I will adopt you! Only if you adopt me right back - A hot Christmas sounds ideal right now
Fab giveaway, i've been meaning to read this book after reading all of Sophie Kinsella's other books and absolutely adoring them.
If I don't speak to you before, have a wonderfully safe and chic Christmas my darling =]

I love the 1920's! Being a flapper was one of my most fun halloween costumes. I'm also a follower, via blogger.
Yes, the 20s seemed to be a fantastic era... the haircuts, the flapper dresses, the dancing! I wish I could go "visit" in a time machine! :)
Also, this book is most likely a great vacation read. I'm already a follower, so please count me in!

sounds cute - and the cover art is adorable!
Fabulous giveaway! Twenties Girl is one of my FAVORITE books. I adore Sophie Kinsella. Please do not enter me in this giveaway though, even though I'm a follower and one of your biggest fans. I already own it and I would hate to take a chance away from someone who hasn't read it yet. :)
wow! How i would love to have a copy of this. I have not met twenties girl before, thus, it's a great chance to devour the book.
Why hello Darling! I love the 20s as well, probably not as much as you but I do enjoy them! However, I am just not down with the taping down of the chests... I'm all about bras- but other than that, flappers have a great look.
1. Commenting you about the giveaway!
2. I tweeted you (and at you) @caitielady08
3. I follow you!

Yay! I'd love to enter your giveaway. Thank you. :-)
Okay, E, yet another thing we're totally on the same page about. I've always been in love with the twenties. The Great Gatsby is the thing my husband & I agree about (the best novel, ever). The last paragraph is one of the most beautiful string of words I've ever read.
We lived for a period before London, on Long Island, in the area where I grew up, which is major Great Gatsby territory (our little barn was renovated in the 20s, and was part of one of the estates in the area: the big house was actually owned by another novelist, Leon Uris). And I keep a copy of Tender is the Night by my bed, for when I'm between novels, & just open it to any page.
I didn't even know Sophie Kinsella wrote this book. But I'm not entering the competition (apart from winning the 'longest comment' award). Will look for it here in London.
On one last thing about the flapper period: besides that it's my favourite style, it also influenced the sixties style, which is always being referenced. I don't think there was any period that so radically changed the style from what came before, as that decade.
Thanks for such a great giveaway! I was a flapper for Halloween. Love the 20s.
I'm also a follower!
i love the 20s! and i am already a follower :)
Smoochies Darln'! I love the twenties & I think that it was such an innocent era, with a certain spice for life. Just to be formal: I am commenting on this giveaway, I tweeted about the giveaway @shopwestlandctr, and of course I follow you!
Oh, and I now get THREE entries because I'm your follower, I Tweeted about this, and I commented! Hooray!! :-)
I adore Sophie Kinsellas book, what a fab giveaway!
Count me in darling!
Totally a lover & follower of your beautiful blog & will side bar this for you too (not for an extra entry, just to show some love!)
XOXO
