Mini Post: Poodles in Paris - Clumsy Kate tee

I am back with another exciting installment on the blog - this adorable little poodle tee from Clumsy Kate. This company is but a mere 15 miles away from where I live and the owner, Kate (who is a self-proclaimed clumsy being!), designs and creates fun kitsch vintage and retro-inspired bits and bobs. There are a selection of tees including a tipsy pink elephant and a mexican pinata! She also has various other things to offer such as head scarves, purses, glasses case, jewellery and mugs.

'Wild Child' - Vivien of Holloway Jezebel dress

 Once I find a brand that I love, I get obssessed. So those of you who follow me on Instagram will know that I often feature Vivien of Holloway in my OOTD posts. I love them for their fit, quality and extensive range of colour and design choice. I was over the moon when they said they wanted to send me a little something to share with you guys on my blog!

The Cinderella Affair - Goldie's Clothing

Hello! Long time, no blog! I have been really busy over the past fortnight with my brand new grown up job so I apologise profusely for the lack of posts. I am now back in business now that I have settled into my new routine. 

Goldie's Clothing is a vintage and pinup inspired clothing company based in Barcelona, Spain. I wasn't sure what they were going to be sending me so I was excited to see what goodies would arrive in the post.
 

Much Ado About Milkshake - Erstwilder Brooches

Well, my blog ain't exactly Shakespeare quality but I do love a good milkshake! 
Erstwilder is an Australian company that specialises in incredible jewellery made out of resin. They have many of quirky and unique designs including animals and food in a range of bold and beautiful colours and patterns. Below are a couple of examples of some designs which I am dying to get my hands on!

Bonjour mes petit amis! Hopefully my YouTube tutorial isn't as bad as my French! 

A little while ago, the company Vintage Hair kindly sent me this little tool to review on my blog. The video is posted below (excuse my derpy face):

Lust for Lingerie

Hello everybody!
It's me here just writing a little post about one of my favourite items of clothing... bras! I adore lingerie because it can make a woman feel sexy both on the inside and the outside. There is a loooooooong list of bras that I am looking to own but I have managed to narrow it down to a few of my favourite picks:

Voodoo Vixen's Anchors and Spaceships

...Bit of an odd combination? Well, Voodoo Vixen very kindly graced me with two dresses from their new line. Both of which I am IN LOVE. 

Several weeks back I was lucky enough to be invited to the London Edge blogger's party which was sponsored by Voodoo Vixen. At the event I was given the opportunity to see the up and coming lines for an array of alternative brands including Voodoo Vixen, Collectif and Hell Bunny. Amongst the selection of bright and tasty prints that Voodoo Vixen had to offer, I spotted a poppin' atomic print. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the dress was covered in space babes! An incredibly unique design and the clash of fuchsia pink against the black background was all I needed to lust for the dress. It was no hard decision that I had to review the pencil dress.

OOTD - Luxulite Lucite Love

Just a quick one to show you dolls my outfit of the day. Hint: I am wearing a teeny bit of pink...

...Okay maybe a lot of pink! But who can complain?! Feeling inspired by my recent purchase of this absolutely incredible brooch and earring set by Luxulite I put together this little outfit which consists of pink and black with the only other colours being in the ink that inhabits my legs!

Mini Post: Tiki-Tastic! - A Taste of the Tropics

Aloha! I apologise for my lack of blog posts this week. I am a very busy bee who is working and currently writing a dissertation and a management essay!

Now, following my previous Valentine's day OOTD (click here to read) where I decided that the tropical Tiki style is totally suitable for this time of the year, I wanted to delve a little more in to that particular style. I am very much looking forward to warmer weather where I can crack out the bamboo bangles and sarong dresses and take them out for a spin. Sadly in Britain, it is raining as we speak (or write, or read, or roller skate - whatever it is you are up to). However, if you are like me and very impractical you could start rolling in the tropical vibe right now - you never know, you might even bring out the sunshine! If you are lucky enough to live in a country that is currently in Summer then I hope that you will find this post inspiring!

Mini Post - Vintage clubwear?! Of course!

Hi there guys and dolls!

I recently had a question come up on Tumblr asking if I could do a post about what I wear when I go clubbing! I don't go out a great deal, but when I do, I still like to bring across my sense of style whilst also being practical for the dark and dingy clubs of the streets of England.

One thing I shall say: do not wear vintage. There is a risk of drink being thrown, sweat being dripped and other bodily fluids escaping your oral cavity.

I have a certain number of dresses which I do like to wear and they are all relatively cheap but still have a vintage 'edge'. If I am feeling bold (and I usually am after a vodka or two) then I tend to opt for a pencil skirt - a flattering shape whilst also giving off that vintage glam. I don't do short dresses, so anything below the knee is a winner (I am such a prude). Below I have included some images and links to simple vintage-inspired dresses from the high street and online.

Mini Post - "Brooch yourself...It's going to be a bumpy ride!"

If I had to choose one accessory to wear every day for the rest of my life, I would choose a brooch. Recently I have been lusting over so many brooches that I thought I would share with you beautiful people which ones I love. Brands included in this post are: Bow and Crossbones, Glitter Paradise, Luxulite and Poison of Choice.

Bow and Crossbones (@bowandcrossbones)

Bow and Crossbones originates from the UK. They have a vast range of vintage reproduction jewellery. If you need novelty brooches, this is your place! Mexican, nautical, lucite - you name it, they've got it!

Novelty brooches all round!
