"New Years? No problem!" with Atomic Amber

Good day, dolls! Miss Amber Rose and I have got together for a little post about what you need to make your New Years plans just that bit more special! From dresses to jumpsuits to sparkling jewels, we've got you covered (in glitter) ;-)

In case you don't already know about this beautiful little lady, here she is. Atomic by name, atomic by nature - This pin up pretty is sure to blow your mind with her blog dedicated to vintage fashion and beauty.

Feeling inspired by the naughtiness of the 20s, the decadence of the 30s, the glam of the 40s and the sex appeal of the 50s I have selected 6 staples that I feel will make every woman feel special on that magical champagne-fueled night of the year.
First on my list is from across the pond so get your orders in quick! The exquisite 'Gilda' gown by Laura Byrnes for Pin Up Girl clothing.
Retailing at $190
This dress will put fear in the hearts of thy enemies. They have been warned...
If you are like me and your budget is severely restricted (especially after the strain of Christmas) then you might prefer something from British Retro. This 'Darcy Dare' pencil dress is both cute and elegant with a large floral print.
Retailing at £42

Next up is most certainly going to grab everybody's attention... The Atypical Girl jumpsuit!
Retailing at £110
Jaw dropping chic for that party to end all parties.

Another vintage reproduction favourite is the Marina dress in green or purple taffeta by Tara Starlet.
Retailing at £110
Taffeta is my favourite party dress material so this one was a straight up winner for me!

So now I bet you're left wondering which accessories to pair with your beautiful new frock? For me, it is all about the jewellery. New Look in particular has some gorgeous earrings (alas, no clip on ones :-( ) which scream vintage glamour. Prices starting from £3.99 (left). Brooches from Luxulite (centre) and Glitter Paradise (right) are sure to get you all fired up! Luxulite brooches retail at around £15 and Glitter Paradise brooches starting at approximately 10€.
