Hearts & Roses Burgundy Velvet and Lola Von Rose

Continuing with the festive looks for the season, today I bring you a gorgeous dress from Hearts & Roses. It's style is the Desirable Flocked Tea Dress in Burgundy. The dress is lush flocked velvet making a very pretty reptile design. It feels like a million bucks and so will you wearing it! The tea dress has a classic vintage feel with full circle skirt, fitted bodice and capped sleeves.  It has a cowl neck and tie scarf, creating a very nice look.  I do recommend doing your hair first! As always, it has the very nice wide side zipper that Heats & Roses use.  It really does make it easier to zip! It's also available in black and forest green.  It's a great dress for the season!

Hearts & Roses definitely has high quality clothing straight from the UK.  You can find corsets, dresses, skirts, goth and rockabilly styles, tops and more.









I paired my dress with the lovely Lola Von Rose Handbag in Pink. It's a vintage inspired purse that is a must have to complete your wardrobe.  You can get them in several colors too. It's the perfect size to hold your essentials while looking great!








In sticking with my pink accessory theme I wore my Luxulite pink and gold earrings and added the Luxulite pink elephant brooch to my turban.  I thought it was a fun look!

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?

As the cold wind blows in, it's so nice to be able to have a beautiful warm dress to wear! This dress from Misspoppywear's private shop is just the one you need.  It's the Ruby Sherwood Check Hooded Swing Dress.  Collectif added so much pretty detail to it. The sleeves, buttons, pockets and hood are rimmed and lined with luxurious blue velvet. It has a very full skirt and fitted bodice. 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! There is also plenty of room to add a petticoat if you choose. The dress has some stretch and a side zip, but measure accordingly for the best fit.  I cannot wait to wear this with tights or tall boots for a different style too!

Just look at how adorable this dress from Hell Bunny is!  It's the 50's Dress in Blitzen Print. If you want to stand out his holiday season, you will want to add this to your wardrobe!  I mean, it has pinup girls riding reindeer on it!  The print also includes wreaths, candy canes, snowflakes, bows and birds. You can get the dress in red or black. I love the flattering style of the 50's Dress.  It's fitted bodice with v- neck and flared skirt are perfect. The zipper is in the back and it comes with a satin look cream colored tie.  It does stretch a little. It's so fun!  It was a great look for this cute gingerbread house set.  I plan to wear it throughout the season many times!






I did add a petticoat for extra fullness.







Hell Bunny is always putting out top of the line quality and style when it comes to vintage reproduction, goth and punk styles. I really appreciate how they are very consistent in that and also their sizing.  I do recommend to go by the measurements when you order.














The pretty hair flower I'm wearing is from Shazam Vintage Pin Up Hair Flowers. It's the Red Metallic Glitz Lily and Orchid. Don't forget your accessories when creating that perfect pinup look!
