Red Dolly Vintage

You have probably heard of the fabulous company Red Dolly Swimwear.  It is very well known for creating retro swimwear, like high waist bikinis and flattering one pieces.  They are available in adorable polka dots and other fun prints for women, girls and babies!  However, Red Dolly is expanding!  You can now get great vintage reproduction dresses from Red Dolly Vintage. This particular style is great for the Fall season.  You can throw on a cardigan and tights and be ready for cooler temps.  The print is Mystic Mountain.  I love how it gets me in the mood for the season!  Snow capped mountains and evergreens adorn the full circle skirt.  Red Dolly Vintage has dresses for all occasions and are available in sizes up to 2XL.  










Red Dolly Designer Heather Stepanik graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising in 2004. She was a bridal seamstress for a few years before starting her swimwear line.  Her line has really grown worldwide and is a staple in many pinup girls wardrobe. You can order directly from reddollyswimwear.com or her products are available at stockist online and a few stores in the states. 


I love the contrast of the red and green in this dress, so picking out accessories was fun!  I am wearing a new piece from the Autumn line from Luxulite. The green and brown berry brooch is a 50's style bakelite look. It is a great addition to your dresses or cardigans for the season!  Luxulite is available on Etsy.  She is a jewelry making genius!  


The Red June Queen Heels from Lola Ramona really popped with the mostly green dress.  They are leather with rubber soles.  These are the perfect classic looking heels.  They are comfortable enough to wear to the office and classy for an evening out! 
  

Have fun putting together a Fall look of your own and don't forget to visit my featured designer's shop!

Daisy Jean Floral Brooches- Halloween Range

This season Daisy Jean Floral designed brooches around witches and the animals associated with them!  It's such a fun collection!  I'm featuring the witch herself, The Witches Flight and the Wise Watcher a beautiful barn owl.  Daisy Jean's brooches are laser cut, then hand painted and assembeled then coated with resin.  The end result is stunning!  I love Halloween so much and was thrilled to style these.  They are so special and you can really see all the detail and hard work involved in making them.  Daisy Jean has limited edition brooches for different seasons and themes throughout the year, so don't wait or you'll miss the one you have your eyes on!

  










I love the witches silhouette against the orange moon!  It just screams Halloween! 






All brooches feature a locking back. 






Whoooo loves it as much as me??






You can order Daisy Jean online or her items are found at some stockist in Australia!

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴





I had the pleasure of receiving the Lavender Sleep Box and it is just as dreamy as the unicorn, only a bit more sophisticated!  This box features a lavender sleep pillow that smells heavenly! Lavender will help you rest peacefully. This handmade pillow is so pretty too! Frilly Chantilly added some handmade lavender soap, a heart shaped bath bomb and some lavender essence oil to the box as well. I know any woman would be thrilled to get this set!  



















































   


La Diabla - Miss Fortune

I enjoy putting together fun Halloween looks so much!  Here's a favorite from this week.  The skirt and the the jumper are both from the very talented Miss Fortune!  I adore her creations. The La Diabla is a spiderweb sweater inspired from vintage knitwear. The jumper has just recently launched, so grab it before it's too late!  There are many other colors to choose from as well. The fit and quality are excellent. You can size down if you are in between, it has some stretch.












I added the spider brooch from Luxulite. Isn't it adorable?! It is the jumbo size in red. She has several sizes and colors available in them and you can coordinate with your Miss Fortune jumper. I am also thinking that I need to get one of the fly brooches!

Emerald Diamonds- Karina Dresses

This new Emerald Diamonds print from Karina Dresses is so gorgeous and it comes on the Trudy style which is a bonus!  I absolutely love everything about it!  The Trudy for fall comes with a 3/4 sleeve that is perfect for the cooler temps.  You'll be able to wear this dress all through the season and for the winter it will be great with a sweater and tights!  The color is just gorgeous too!  I have a thing for greens and this one tops the list.  The contrast of the black diamond pattern with the emerald green really stands out.  This is a great daytime dress for work or errands and then you can really dress it up for a night on the town.  The Trudy is always a favorite style of mine,  It has a great sweetheart neck, but it's still very modest.  As always the skirt will be a full circle that I love!  It hits me just below the knee and I am 5'8".  The fitted waistband pulls the middle in for a really polished look!  I definitely recommend a Trudy for your fall wardrobe! 














Karina Dresses are proudly made in the U.S.A.  They are also made for all body types and come in a wide range of sizes.  I believe that all women should be able look beautiful and feel confident.  You can be sure to achieve this in a Karina Dress! 







The Trudy comes in several other colorways for fall, but here is a closeup of the gorgeous Emerald Diamonds!





I accessorized in greens!

Voodoo Vixen Velvet

The new Voodoo Vixen Autumn Winter line is absolutely stunning!  This Nicki 30's Navy Velvet Gown is just one such example.  I can't describe how lush this dress is!  The full length is so elegant and the color is gorgeous. The velvet has a woven pattern that adds some great texture.  I love the fit of this dress! It has a plunging neck line with some pleated detail on the bust.  The wide fitted waist is so flattering and comfortable. This dress does fit generously, so you will probably not want to size up if you are close.  The Nicki features long sleeves with cuffs.  It has a hidden zipper in the back. This style is available in sizes S-XXL. It can be ordered directly from them or at many stockist worldwide.  I cannot wait to wear this all through the Fall and Winter! You will certainly be a stunner at all of the parties wearing it! 












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. 





Thanks to Brooklyn Brat Images for the great pics!

October Look with Lolipopshop

Fall is upon us and it's one of the greatest times of the year! The cool air feels amazing and the leaves turn gorgeous shades of red, yellow and orange. Pumpkin spice coffee is available everywhere and of course my favorite Halloween! It's so fun being able to dress up and show a different side of your style.  I personally like to dress for different seasons, otherwise I would probably wear novelty Halloween prints everyday!  This particular skirt is one of them!  It's a custom made item from Lolipopshop. I chose the skulls and roses. At this shop you will find many styles to choose from and you pick the print you want from their great selection. They offer several skit style, dresses, men's and children's clothing as well.  The quality is exceptional and handmade in Poland!  Each item is inspired from vintage clothing ranging in time from the 40's to the 90's. There is an easy size guide to follow when you order or if you need help and email or message will be answered. I normally wear a swing style skirt, but I'm happy to have this curve hugging pencil style in my wardrobe! I'm sure you'll be happy with a custom piece from Lolipopshop too! 













I am wearing the Tulip Top from Blueberryhillfashions.com. It's the perfect addition to any skirt!  It's very fitted, so it goes right into the skirt with no bulges of material hanging over. It's stretchy and has a beautiful scallop neckline. It's available in black, white and red. 

I hope you like my green hair! I have accessorized it with a gorgeous creepy veiled fascinator from Deviously Sweet Designs.  It features a black and white base with a black veil that's decorated with red roses and a black glitter spider. It's perfect!  You can find Deviously Sweet Designs on Etsy. 

The brooch is a handmade piece from Atomic Lucite out of Raisville, Alabama. Her shop is on Etsy as well and you will find hundreds of adorable accessories for all of your needs! I had to have this Bride and Frankenstein piece. Have fun with your Halloween clothing hunt.
