Eva Dress Mistletoe- Lady V London

Christmas is almost here and this a perfect dress for your festivities!  It's the Eva Dress in Mistletoe print from Lady V London.  The Eva dress has capped sleeves, a crossover v-neck and a fitted waist.  It has a full skirt that hits below the knee.  I love this style from Lady V!  You'll feel very put together wearing it.  It's a very flattering dress and you can wear it for work or play.  It does not have any zippers.  With all the style and comfort in this dress there's no need to look any further!  Don't delay, it's on sale over at the Lady V London site and you can get express delivery to have it in time.  The Eva is also available in other prints that are equally as gorgeous! This is a dress that will carry you through the whole winter season with it's rich colors and style.

As with every Lady V London dress I have ever worn, the quality is exceptional.  You can really tell that they put a lot of focus on that.  They are consistent in sizing which is very important when ordering online. It's very frustrating when a company varies so much and you have to ship back. Just go by the chart and you should be good! 

I am wearing a gorgeous sparkly Priscilla earring and necklace set from Bow and Crossbones.  The green glitter is absolutely perfect for Christmas! 

My hair flower is by Shazam Vintage Pin Up Hair Flowers. It's a sparkly mix of a gold velvet glittered magnolia with gold glittered foilage and grape berries.  It's just stunning!

Karina Dresses Winter Style

We just had a very unexpected snowfall in Georgia! It was so magical and we got like 8 inches here, which is huge for us!  It was the perfect time to get out my festive Margaret Dress in Cobalt Blue with Black Micro Dots. It is the most gorgeous color!  This dress will get you through your holiday parties and all the Christmas festivities with style and ease. You'll love the 3/4 sleeves and the fitted wide waistband. The skirt is a full circle and a great modest length that I love! The tie belt is attached. It has the crossover v-neck and really pretty gather details on the back.  Karina Dresses are always my go to for everyday wear. They are extremely comfortable and look so elegant. You'll always be sure too that no ironing will ever be needed with them. That makes it a great choice for traveling this season as well!  

The Margaret is American made in the Hudson Valley, NY.  It is available in several other colors as well and a short sleeve version!

Karina Dresses are made for all body shapes and sizes. 

Here's a closer look at the gorgeous color and black micro dot print.

No fancy shoes this time!  I am wearing some stunning earrings from Revere Folie though.  They are so sparkly and perfect for dazzling your ears anytime!

Lia Black- Voodoo Vixen

It's the most wonderful time of the year and you need the most wonderful dress to wear!  I am here to say the Lia from Voodoo Vixen is that dress!  It's so pretty,  This classic style black dress can get you through all of the parties and festivities of the season.  It's long flared skirt is just right for twirling on the dance floor or an elegant stroll through the city.  I adore the faux fur collar, it's so lush and really gives the dress a classy look.  It's also detachable for a different look. The bust has pleats and the waist is fitted.  You could wear boots with this dress and it would look amazing or of course pair with heels.  It has a slight stretch to it, but runs pretty true to size.  I really enjoyed styling it for this Christmas look!

Hoping this is a new Voodoo Vixen Dress!!

Voodoo Vixen is a vintage inspired label that has unique styles for the modern woman. They are based out of London, but have in house designers in both London and L.A. here in the U.S. Their designs are always high quality and very pretty. I have always been extremely pleased with Voodoo Vixen.

I am wearing the Jolie Heels in Red from Bettie Page Shoes.  I love the suede and bow detail.  They have 3" heels and of course the leopard print sole on all of the shoes!  These are very comfortable heels to wear and a great statement to add to your wardrobe.

Festive Roses- Blue Velvet Vintage

This is such a glorious time of year!  There's still splashes of color on the leaves and Christmas decorations are starting to pop up.  It's time to start planning your outfits for the parties and outings coming up and I have a stunning dress to show you!  This is the Vintage Inspired Rose Print Full Skirt Dress in Black from Blue Velvet Vintage.  The roses in red and yellow on the black background is an amazing color combo! You can also get it with a navy background.  I have gotten so many compliments on this dress.  It has a plunging neckline, so you can brave the look or add a cami under like I did. The material is heavier weight for the colder weather making it the perfect choice for the holiday season. I love 3/4 sleeves too. I would also like to add, it has pockets! The bodice is fitted and the skirt is a very large circle making it very flattering.  There are no zippers to mess with, which is very nice!  I think you can really dress this up with heels and tights and long vintage style coat or even wear it with boots!  The dress is made in the USA with imported fabric.  It's a stunner, I recommend it for many reasons! 

Blue Velvet Vintage offers true vintage clothes as well as vintage reproduction.  You'll want to check often, so you don't miss one of those hard to find vintage items! 

It was fun picking out accessories for this dress!  I love the red, green and yellow marbled fakelite bangles and earrings from Bow and Crossbones, so they were a perfect match for it! 

My hair flower is double rose from shazam vintage pin up hair flowers and it was the perfect match as well for the rose dress!  

I chose to contrast with yellow for the heels and bag.  They are both from Banned Apparel.

Magnolia Eva- Lady V London

Fall is finally in the air and what a perfect dress to reflect that feeling!  The new Magnolia Eva Dress from Lady V London is absolutely stunning!  This is the first Eva style dress that I have worn and I'm in love.  The fit and cut is perfect!  This dress features a v-cut  cross over bust with a wide waistband that is very flattering.  It has capped sleeves and a large full circle skirt that has plenty of room for a petticoat if you choose.  I did not wear one for this look.  The skirt will fall below the knee. I love this classic looking vintage style.  I have always loved magnolia tress and this new print with magnolia blooms is stunning!  I like the contrast with the black background too.  This is going to be a style that I look forward to wearing all season.  I will add a cardigan and tights when the weather gets colder.  I think this may be the dress I wear to Thanksgiving dinner!  It has some stretch by the way! It can be machine washed on delicate. The Eva is available in sizes UK 8-20, but don't wait they will sell quickly!

As with every Lady V London dress I have ever worn, the quality is exceptional.  You can really tell that they put a lot of focus on that.  They are consistent in sizing which is very important when ordering online.  It's very frustrating when a company varies so much and you have to ship back. Just go by the chart and you should be good! 

I'm wearing the Double Faux Tortiseshell Hoops from Bow and Crossbones.  They are a great match for so many colors and looks! My gloves are vintage.

I have also shown in a few shots the amazing Siberian Camel Faux Fur Cape from Frilly Chantilly. It's the perfect accessory and will keep you warm in the colder temps.  I love how elegant it is. The capes are made and designed in England by Frilly Chantilly. They are available in several gorgeous colors.

Tulip Garden- Karina Dresses

I am so thrilled about the Margaret Dress in the Tulip Garden print from Karina Dresses!  It's a fabulous dress!  This is my first time wearing a Margaret style and I do believe it's a new favorite!  I love the length that this one gives.  It falls perfectly for me mid-calf.  It has a crossover v-neck and a very full skirt.  The sash is attached and it has a fitted waistband.  This style is available in short sleeves or 3/4 sleeves.  There are many prints available, but this new Tulip Garden is just gorgeous!  I love the contrast of the red and green on the black background.  You can also find it on other dress styles if you prefer a shorter length.  This dress is a great choice for your Fall wardrobe.  Throw on a cardigan and boots and have a dressy comfortable look for the office or a day out.  Throw on some heels and pearls with a long coat and have a dressy night on the town.  That's what I love about Karina Dresses, they are so versatile and always so comfortable.

As always Karina Dresses are made with love in the Hudson Valley, NY.  They are consistent with sizing and quality, so you can always order with confidence.  Women of all ages, shapes and sizes will find great dresses to suit their needs.  They are available in some retailers and online.

 Visiting the local cotton fields has been on my list for a few years now and I'm so happy we finally made it!  It was gorgeous and made for a great photo opportunity! 

I accessorized with red and green bangles in marble fakelite from Bow and Crossbones.  

My brooch is a gorgeous new piece from Jubly-Umph's Night Creatures Collection.  It's for a bit of good luck.  Tasha's art is amazing and it's so fun to be able to wear it!

Pinup Glam

Are you are looking to add glamour to your pinup wardrobe? I recommend the new line from Trashy Diva! It's the Ribbed Rayon Collection and it couldn't be any more beautiful!  I am wearing the Candice Gwen Lena Dress here. It's beaded detail around the bust is so gorgeous and the Ribbed Rayon is a very lush sturdy material. The bodice fits like a glove with lots of support and the full circle skirt is a flowy dream. The halter neck dress has a sweetheart neckline with a gathered bust. I really felt very well put together wearing this! I did have to size up for this one as it does not have any stretch, so measure accordingly. The 50's style dress is the perfect touch for a glamorous occasion. 

Trashy Diva has opened in Atlanta and if you are looking for high quality vintage reproduction clothing, look no further. We are so fortunate to have this shop here now. The Poncey-Highland location is perfect too! You will find all of the newest Trashy Diva collections there and even a lingerie boutique. Make it a girls day out and have a great time when you go!
