Elegant Style with Lady V

One of my favorite new dresses comes from Lady V London in the Fall/Winter 2015 Collection.  It is so pretty! I absolutely love the Forest Green color!  The dress is called the Enchanting Birds Hepburn in Forest Green.  The 1950's style dress features a very full full skirt, It has a flattering high neck and back with a back zipper as well. The Hepburn Dress has a nice stretch to it, as it's made of Cotton Sateen.





For this photo shoot I did not wear a petticoat, however it would look great with one! As you can see the skirt is very big!  




Lady V London offers dresses in a range of sizes from 8-32, so you will be able to find one that's perfect for you!  The quality is always top notch too.  Their dresses are made in the UK, in British factories by British workers.





If you want a stunning dress with one of a kind patterns Lady V London is for you!

Belle of the Ball in Vivien of Holloway

If you want to be the Belle of the Ball this Christmas and Holiday season, you must get something special from Vivien of Holloway!  

The minute I put on this 1950's Halterneck Pale Blue Duchess Dress, I felt like a princess!  It is absolutely gorgeous.  It's full circle skirt sits right on your hips just under the very supportive and flattering bodice. It is perfect enough for a wedding, black tie event or a just a fun night on the town.








I chose this dress for my winter shoot this year when I found out the theme was blue, snow and ice.  I think it went really well with it!  I paired it with a faux fur shrug and hand muff. I look really warm, right?! I also added a white petticoat under it to really show off the circle skirt.  








This dress is available many other colors as well.  They are all equally beautiful and dressy with the satin fabric.  








Many of the Vivien of Holloway dresses are limited edition, so make sure to get your order in when you see something you love.  

Also, be sure to measure before you order!  







I am wearing a wonderful Matte Lipstick from Suavecita Pomade.  It is the color "Victory".  It's the first color I have tried from the new line of lipsticks and I must say I do love it!  It is a deep red that is long lasting, Vegan and Cruelty Free!!  It's a win win, I definitely recommend!

Happy October!! I want to share a quick easy and fun Fall pie recipe with you!  It was featured in the Grease Inc. Magazine October Issue. I also have some info on where to get this amazing dress I wore in my photo shoot!
Enjoy!  



    Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9″ pie pan with baking spray.

    In a large bowl beat butter and sugar together until combined, then add egg and vanilla and stir them in. Stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs and baking powder.
    Divide the dough in half. Press half the dough in the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan. Evenly spread the Marshmallow Creme over the bottom crust. Separate chocolate squares and place on top of the Marshmallow Creme. Place 1 cup of marshmallows on top.
    Using the remaining crust, pat sections of dough on top of and around all the marshmallows (they will still show through and that is great!). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chocolate chips, then bake 20 minutes until lightly browned.
    Remove pan from oven and set it on a wire rack. Cool and enjoy :)

    Ingredients: 
    • 1 stick Softened Butter
    • ½ cups White Sugar
    • 1 whole Egg
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • 1 cup Flour
    • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • 7 ounces, weight Container Of Marshmallow Creme
    • 8 whole (1.55 Oz Bars)
    • Chocolate Bars, Unwrapped
    • 1 cup Marshmallows
    • ¼ cups Chocolate Chips






    Right after the marshmallows caught fire!  Pose ;) 






    My beautiful dress is from Hearts & Roses.  I adore it!  First of all the vertical rope stripes are very flattering and I love black and white.  The Forget-Me-Knot Dress has a slight stretch to it, making it very comfortable to wear. One thing that really stood out to me, is the wide side zipper that Hearts & Roses used.  It may not seem like a very big deal, but I could actually zip it easily by myself!  Ladies, I know you understand this!  It also has a cute little bow decoration at the top.  I would definitely recommend Hearts & Roses for a special wardrobe addition!  They also have rompers, skirts, jackets, a few men's items and more!  






    I am wearing the Lila the Haunted House Lady Brooch from Jubly-Umph.  She is awesome!!

    As summer is winding to an end and I am packing for a beach trip, I'll have to bring one of my favorite swimsuits of all time from Black Cat Bikinis!  It is a beautiful one piece retro style in a light blue with pretty floral patterns.  It looks great on any body type.

    Sunflower Fields Forever

    I recently had the pleasure of shooting at one of Atlanta's must see summer hot spots, The Anderson's Sunflowers.  When I say hot, I mean really hot!  It's so pretty though, totally worth all the sweating. I try to make it there ever year.  







    This time I had just received a gorgeous Blindside Dress and bag from Banned.  I knew right away that was the outfit for this year!  The dress and bag are a beautiful light blue with a cherry and pink blossom pattern.  The dress has a beautiful sweetheart neckline with ruching,  decorative buttons and short sleeves.  It has a flattering fitted waist and full hem skirt.  I paired it with a wide red belt and white petticoat.  It really is a beautiful dress, I couldn't be happier with it!  The handbag is just as impressive!  






    Banned Apparel  is based out of the U.K., but their items can be found at many retailers worldwide.  I definitely recommend looking at their collections to add to your wardrobe. The quality and style is exceptional in my book and I collect a lot of vintage inspired clothing!

    Ready for Steady!

    I absolutely adore my Mint Polka Dot Diva Dress from Steady Clothing!  When I saw the amazing Mid Century home I was shooting in, I knew what I wanted to wear.  It's such a fun dress and also very comfortable.  It's stretchy, made from a mixture of rayon, nylon and spandex.  It is also made here in the USA!!  





    The Diva Dress is very flattering, while hugging your curves.  You will feel like a star when you put it on! Weather you are heading out on the town or hitting a show this could be the dress for you.

    Sourpuss and Tattoos

    Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting at Walk the Line Tattoo in Athens, GA with the Georgia Pinup Posse. Brooklyn Brat Images captured some great photos for us!  I wore my Sourpuss Clothing Polka Dot June Dress.  The dress was perfect for the occasion!  




    I love the details and the shorter flirty length!  It has an embroidered skull on the collar and the color combination of red, black and white is my favorite!  The dress is fully lined and has a hidden side zip. It's perfect for any fun occasion!

    Sail Away with Collectif Clothing

    Wow what a month it's been!  I have been very busy!  One of the highlights of this month was attending the Nashville Boogie Weekender. It was a really fun event in Nashville, Tennessee.  We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, which is absolutely gorgeous.  There are so many places to grab beautiful pictures, I had to do just that!  

    One of the dresses I wore there is the Sindy Doll Dress Sailor by Collectif Clothing.
    This dress is so perfect!  I love the nautical details they put into it.  It's got a full circle skirt that can be worn with or without a petticoat.  I did not wear one on this day and it's still very full!  The white stripes on the navy and the buttons on the bust are just the right amount of detail for this look.  It's a comfortable dress that fits very well, but has a little stretch to it.  





    Here's just some of the beautiful hotel! 






    See how full the skirt is!!




    Go shop with Collectif now!!

    Queen of Heartz

    Queen of Heartz vintage style apparel was established in 2001 and is designed by Letty Tennant. Their garments are made locally in Los Angeles, CA.  The style and quality they offer is remarkable!  






    The dress I am wearing here is the "Dora" in red.  I feel so elegant when I put this dress on!  It is the ultimate bombshell dress!  I love the comfy stretch taffeta material it is made out of.  It also has some very flattering pleats for a pretty detail added along the lower tummy area!  






    I have paired a hair piece from Jazzafine with my dress. My handbag was custom made and pin striped at a car show in Atlanta for me. I wish I had the artists info to post!






    Trust me, add a Queen of Heartz dress or two
    to your wardrobe! You'll be feeling like you just stepped off the red carpet! There are so many beautiful styles to choose from it won't be an easy decision!
