Cranberry Cross Dots- Karina Dresses

I have another festive look to share!  This one is courtesy of Karina Dresses.  This Margaret Cranberry Cross Dots Dress is amazing!  It's calf length, full skirt style and beautiful red polka dot pattern create a great look for Christmas. It has 3/4 sleeves, a v neck and built in tie for the waist.  I love how all of the Karina Dresses are so comfortable and flattering!  The longer length on this style makes it a very versatile for for school, work or church functions where you may want to be a little more modest too. It is available in a few colors.  I always feel great wearing my Karina Dresses!











I am wearing gorgeous glittery bow earrings from Revere Folie. They are a perfect addition to complete a Christmas look!  There are several colors to choose from, mine are red, green and gold.

Hell Bunny Christmas- Katherine Jumper

Look how gorgeous this jumper from Hell Bunny is!  I love how festive it is and it's versatile as well. It can be worn to look more formal or you can wear it casual with pants or jeans.  I just wore this to my Georgia Pinup Posse Christmas Party. The taupe color is very pretty and the little trees, hearts, diamonds and snowflakes make it the perfect addition to your Christmas wardrobe! It has ribbed cuffs and hem with 3/4 sleeves.  It is very soft and comfortable. I love the little keyhole and bow detail at the neck.  It will be a great staple to your winter wardrobe too, not just for the holidays! Hell Bunny offers this in sizes S-4XL. 











Hell Bunny never disappoints and this jumper proves again how much quality and style they put into their clothing!  I will always recommend them wen it comes to vintage reproduction and goth styles!

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!
