Bonnie Blue Frill Dress- Joanie Clothing

Out with the old and in with the new, clothing that is!  It's time for Spring cleaning!  I always get the urge this time of year to purge old stuff. Although I am somewhat of a clothes hoarder, I do try to donate items I have not worn in a long time. Maybe it's all the new beautiful growth on tress and blooming flowers. It's very refreshing to me. Spring started so early this year, it's crazy.  Our cars are already getting covered with a light yellow haze and I know that means the heavy pollen is right around the corner! That part of Spring here is not so fun. There will be plenty of dusting, washing, sweeping and vacuuming in the near future.  My suggestion is when your chores are done, head on over to the Joanie Clothing site and treat yourself to some gorgeous new clothes! Joanie Clothing has the most adorable, unique designs.  My pretty light blue vintage inspired dress is called the Bonnie Blue Frill Tea Dress. It's made from a sheer material, with a built in slip lining. The frilly detail, cloth covered buttons, peter pan collar and pin tucks make this one of the prettiest dresses I have seen! I love the puffy sleeves too. The fit is very flattering and it comes with a thin white belt to accentuate your waist.  It zips on the side. This style is just what a lady needs for Spring outings.  It's comfortable, yet dressy enough for a brunch and modest enough for a church gathering. Needless to say, I am thrilled with it and will be wearing it a lot!  At Joanie Clothing you will find everything form dresses and skirts to jumpers, cardigans, blouses and accessories.  You can find UK sizes 8-22 there as well. They are passionate about making beautiful high quality clothes that many women can enjoy and feel beautiful in!




















For my two looks for the Bombshell Vanity Article this month I wore my Heather Heels from Bettie Page Shoes.  They are so pretty in white and silver with leopard bottoms.  The heel is a great height since it's not too tall.  It's perfect for house work haha!  I also wore vintage earrings and hat.

This gorgeous lemon print just screams summer fun! The dress has a true 1950's length and is very full. I wore a petticoat with it. I love the neckline which is a crossover wrap style v neck. The material is very comfortable and does have a little stretch to it. You will feel so feminine wearing this! It fits your curves perfectly. The Ursula Dress is available in sizes 16-32. You can also find it several other prints and a pencil style as well.

Oriental Flair- Joanie Clothing

The Mae High Neck Oriental from Joanie Clothing is just a stunning look for Spring! The embroidered cherry blossoms on the mesh overlay is the perfect combination! It is a very formal, but fun look.  The dress has a high neck with appliques on one side and the cherry blossoms are scattered in a perfect amount. It has a fitted bodice and flared skirt that falls just below the knee. The zipper is in the back. This dress is available in size 8-22. Joanie Clothing has some amazing designs and this ranks right at the top!  I really liked the fit and the style of the Mae Dress. I think it's a great choice for a nice date night or attending a party perhaps!  The mesh is a little longer than the lining, so you get a little extra leg peek too! I think you'll be very happy with this dress addition to your wardrobe, I know I'm hooked!







Joanie Clothing was founded in 2015 from a love of vintage inspired clothes and named after the designer's Great Aunt Joanie. You'll be able to find a design that's perfect for you, weather you want elegant, quirky, fun or fashionable. Joanie Clothing makes something for everybody too and always in sizes 8-22.

I wanted to wear this vintage hat for this shoot, but I think a really pretty up do would look great with this dress too!






Love the cherry blossom detail!

Spring is here with Lindy Bop!

Spring is here and so are new Lindy Bop styles! With today being the first day of Spring, it's only fitting to kick it off wearing the cutest new dress.  This is the Tallulah Yellow Woodland Folk Print Swing Dress. Oh my gosh is it cute! The pale yellow fabric is adorned with little fox, bunnies, deer and porcupines in pastel colors. It has little flowers too!  It's the perfect mix of colors and Spring print! The dress is a really soft jersey material with some stretch.  It has faux pearl buttons and a collared neck. The dress is sleeveless, so you can add a little sweater until the sun gets too warm. This dress has a very full swing skirt too! I chose to add a belt to cinch my waist. Lindy Bop has definitely put out a great dress with this style. I felt so feminine and comfortable wearing it. You could wear this dress just about anywhere. It is perfect for Easter!  It is also modest enough to wear to work or church! I am planning on wearing it many times.  You'll definitely want to add a new Lindy Bop dress to your Spring wardrobe!










The skirt hits just below the knee for that perfect length.





Here's a closeup of the Woodland Folk Print.  It's so adorable!




Lindy Bop is available online directly from them or you can find them at stockist worldwide.

Mod Stripes- Karina Dresses

I am loving this Ruby Mod Stripes Karina Dresses Dress!  I styled myself a little more casual than usual for this look. I was hoping to go all out nautical theme for this shoot, however our crazy weather has not cooperated lately!  This Ruby Dress is perfect for many occasions over the next few months. It's fun vibe is perfect for a day at the park or a date night. I love the stripes for a change for myself! I get more of a 60's/ 70's feel from it. It's a faux wrap style with an attached sash at the waist. The length is just below the knee. As always with Karina Dresses they are very flattering for all body types and modest enough for the office or even church. I always feel so tied together in their styles, not to mention how comfortable they are! They are perfect for travel since they are wrinkle free too. The Ruby Dress is handmade in the Hudson Valley, NY and the stripe print is from in house Karina Signature line. I cannot wait for more warm days so I can enjoy wearing this many times over!





I think the Ruby is a great choice is if you are looking for a pretty Spring dress. It is available in several other prints as well. Just machine wash, hang dry and get out to explore while looking fabulous!




My big floppy hat came from Target a few years back.  It's a great sun hat!







My bangle stack is from Splendette. I paired carved blue, green and coral together and added a blue glitter one too. My earrings are carved croal clip ons. I love the possibilites with Splendette accessories!




This shows the great colors of the stripes!
