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.

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.

Katherine by Karina Dresses

There's a great new Fall dress from Karina Dresses!  This style is the Katherine and the print is Black And White Crossdots.  This is another fabulous dress from Karina!  By now you know what a fan I am, but they keep getting coming out with more styles and prints.  This is my first Katherine and I really like it.  It features a high round neck line and 3/4 sleeves, so it will be perfect for cooler Fall weather. The polka dots are timeless and so much fun to wear and accessorize with!  The dress has a tie belt and the full skirt falls at the knee.  It's perfect for many body shapes and is super flattering as all Karina Dresses are!  I adore the wrinkle free material that is perfect for traveling.  This style can be worn with boots or heels for a date or even to the office.  The Katherine is available in several great Fall prints too!













Karina Dresses are crafted in the Hudson Valley, NY.  They are available online or in store. They are also stocked at some indipendent retailers. Treat yourself to one or a few, you will be so happy!

Rock n Romance Grace Blouse

Rock n Romance has some incredible 40's and 50's inspired clothing!  This Grace Blouse is just one example of the great designs you will find there.  The black diner style blouse is perfect for just about any pair of pants of skirt you want to pair it with!  It is fitted so it tucks in so nicely for a very tailored look.  I absolutely love the contrasting piping and the over sized buttons!  The Grace Blouse comes in black, red and white.  I love all three!  They are made from a really comfortable and soft rayon.  I recommend one for all of your pinup and rockabilly needs!

Ellen Gingham Sun Dress

There's something so classic about gingham. It's always in style and anyone can pull it off and look great!  Navy blue and white are also classic together which makes this Joanie Clothing dress simply perfect. The Ellen Gingham Sun Dress is the dress you have been waiting for!  You'll love the fit and the comfort you get from it too. It's comfortable enough to have fun in and you can dress it up as well. The wooden buttons and the material across the chest are just the right amount of added detail to make this dress stand out. It also has pockets! I know how much everyone loves dresses with pockets, so I'm always happy to be able to feature them. This dress is modest enough for work and would look great with a white sweater added.  I do think that you need size up when ordering this if you are larger in the bust.  It tends to run a little snug there. The length is great, it hits just below the knee.  Joanie Clothing caters to all sizes and has this available in 8-22. You can count on your purchase being a very well made item. I am always pleased with Joanie clothes!  




On my recent shoot we had the pleasure of going to the most adorable glapmer owned and designed by Jessie Patton of Southern Sophistication Designs. It was a great chance to wear gingham and bring out the country side of the print! It was a great mix of country glamour.  





I accessorized with a vintage necklace that I got from For Guys and Gals and it worked great with this dress.  They are a local business that buys, sells and trades all sorts of vintage memorabilia and hot rod items. Check them out!
