A Tiki Christmas with Lenny's Custom Clothing

My love for Tiki and Christmas came together this year for a fun shoot at Dixie Pin-Up Studios. It was the most gorgeous set up! I was able to wear a wonderful dress from lennys custom clothing too! Lenny makes clothing in Australia and can come up with anything that fits your needs.  I knew I wanted to wear green for this and then I was able to pick the accent fabric with the tikis!  I think it cam together nicely. You will get a high quality garment that is made for your body shape.  Lenny offers men's and women's styles and can do uniforms for diners, car clubs and more.  There are also stockist in Australia that carry his line, or you can order from his online shop.  I recommend to place an order for something special!












Could it be a new dress from Lenny's Custom Clothing?

The plaid print is great look for the winter months.  The main colors are navy and dark green.  You can add several other colors of accessories to complete your look!

Sapphire Blue Rose- Lady V London

Wow, what gorgeous fall weather we are having! I am so lucky I had a great day to shoot this gorgeous dress from Lady V London.  This Sapphire Blue Satin Hepburn Dress is stunning! I think it's the perfect fall dress.  The Satin Hepburn has a nice amount of stretch to it.  The skirt is a huge full circle and the fitted bodice has a high neck and back.  It comes with a black suede look slim belt. I did wear a petticoat, to add an extra fullness to it. The dress has a true 1950's length as well.  It's very elegant.  I think it fits very well and love the Hepburn style.  I definitely recommend it!  I plan to wear a cardigan with it when it gets a little chilly or when I wear it to work. The colors are so amazing too.  You can wear pink, brown, cream or burgundy with it, and probably others as well.   








Lady V London is always consistent with their sizing and quality.   That is something very important to me.  They manufacture their dresses in London and have sizes from 8-32. They do have hassle free returns if you need to for some reason though.  I do have a feeling you be 100% happy! Visit their website now and sign up for the newsletter and hear about sales and new releases first!








My hair flower is by Shazam Vintage Pin Up Hair Flowers.  It's a beautiful cascade of brown and cream colored orchids with brown rhinestone accents!  It's designed to be worn down the side of your face, but I flipped it to wrap around my victory roll for this look.

Earrings are Luxulite.  They are the 

Mid Century Modern 1950's inspired gold vintage style in pink.
