Bats and Cats Oh My!

Are you as excited about Halloween as I am?  I just love this time of year when the weather cools down and the leaves change to their gorgeous colors.  It's so refreshing! I love creepy things and cute spooky things too.  Dressing for the season is so fun even though I love it all year!  This outfit has been a favorite this year for sure!  I will be wearing this a lot even when Halloween has passed.  

The Bobbie Jumper in Bats Darkest Night from Miss Fortune is such an awesome sweater.  I have gotten tons of compliments every time I wear it!  The bats in flight with the moon and the black background are just perfect!  You need this in your wardrobe.  The fit and comfort are excellent as well.  It does have a good amount of stretch, so you could size down if you want.  You can use the guide to determine what size will work. The Bats are also available in Blood Moon, which is a red jumper and equally as amazing! 


Miss fortune began in 2005 with some handmade Rockabilly items and online sales.  Laura has grown over the years and now has wholesale items available all over!  She still offers handmade items and some items are manufactured in the UK.  I highly recommend her clothing! 

Let's talk about this cute Halloween Party Animals Skirt from Sweet Midnight!  This pleated beauty is so much fun to wear! The midi skirt has a ton of room for a petticoat if you choose.  I love the length as it falls just below the knee.  It has a hidden side zipper.  These skirts are made to order, so please allow up to 30 days for delivery.  Sweet Midnight is a great store to get your spooky clothing and accessories all year long!  They live the Halloween life! 

I accessorized with my favorite jewelry of the season from Bow and Crossbones.  It's the Corday Spiderweb items in Smoke, Orange and Clear.  I will wear them all the time though!

Creepy Cute! Dolly and Dotty Tess Lace

Are you looking for a dress that's perfect for a Halloween look or a special festive occasion coming up?  The Tess Lace Embroidered Sleeved Dress from Dolly and Dotty is just what you need! It's a stunner!  The delicate lace detail covers the sleeves and chest and also trims the skirt.  The dress is a great fit too.  It's very comfortable to wear, while looking very dressy.  It has a fitted waist to accentuate your curves.  The full 50's style skirt is roomy enough for a petticoat if you choose.  I did not wear one for this look.  The cotton/ elastine material does have a little stretch, but use the handy sizing chart to find your fit.

Dolly and Dotty has a wide range of sizes from UK 8-26.  They offer rockabilly, pinup, formal styles and more.  I know you will love their clothing!  The quality is also excellent.  

The lace is gorgeous!

My bangles are Bow and Crossbones Corday Spiderwebs in Smoke, Orange and Clear.
I'm also wearing Bow and Crossbones earrings Barbie Hoops in Gold.  They are so perfect!

Fall Fairies

Do you believe in Fairies?  Australian Artist Jubly-Umph in collaboration with Ashleigh Beevers Art has just released The Fierce Fairies Collection of lapel pins.  These pins are perfect for the Fall season to get your imagination going.  There are four designs available. Fierce, Magical, Wicked and I Believe in Fairies.  Each to remind you that you can do it, even when the possible seems impossible! Hang in there and be Fierce!  A little Fairy with lots of strength!  The Magical one I'm wearing is so pretty in bright green enamel and glitter with gold backing.  Each pin is Limited Edition and presented on a Jubly-Umph card. 

These lapel pins are one set of many pins that Jubly-Umph offers.  Tasha's art is just amazing!  You'll love the quirky sayings, animals and items that she designs.  Her art is available on shirts, posters, bags and other jewelry pieces too!  I have enjoyed wearing the art of Jubly-Umph for several years now and I always get compliments on it!

It's so fun to accessorize with pins! 

You can see the pretty detail with the gold backing.  These pins are very durable and the quality is excellent! 

Vintage Chic Layla Floral in Forest Green

Vintage Chic for Top Vintage has really brought a stunner for this fall season!  This is the 50's Layla Floral Cross over Dress in Forest Green.  You can't go wrong with it!  The feminine wrap dress gives the perfect amount of style and sass!  It will take you day into night for any special occasion.  The fitted bodice and v-neck hug your curves in all the right ways.  There are two ties that you can wear loose or in a bow at the pretty ruched detail on the side. There are no zippers to mess with either!  The Layla has cap sleeves and falls mid calf on the length. The material has a lot of stretch.  I am very partial to green and this color is just gorgeous!  The gold and olive floral print on the forest background really stands out.  I am going to be wearing this for many holiday festivities this year! 

Speaking of the holidays, Christmas will be here before you know it and it's time to start planning already!  Can you believe it?  Top Vintage is a great place to get many items for some special people on your list!  There you will find hundreds of dresses, skirts, sweaters, coats, bags and more!  They have a wide variety of vintage reproduction shoes, sure to make any lady happy.  There is also a section for beauty books and products!

This look is complete with accessories from Bow and Crossbones fall collection.  My bangles are Imogen, Hazel and Corday Spiderweb styles.  I love to mix and match colors!  My earrings are Hazel fakelite hoop stud earrings in Chartreuse green.  Bow and Crossbones would be another perfect shop to look for special gifts this year!  There you will find an amazing array of vintage reproduction items and authentic vintage too!

Finally, to complete your vintage look, great hair is always a must!  I achieved this large roll with the help of Suavecita Pomade!
