Keeping Vintage Fashion Alive

I'm very excited to be sharing this blog with you guys today! This is my first time working with the popular retro-inspired company Unique Vintage, and their beautiful clothing most certainly holds up to their name.

Unique Vintage delivers everything their title suggests; there’s a great variety of sought-out vintage repro clothing to be found, and they even carry many alternative and modern pieces as well. The dress I am featuring today comes directly from the Unique Vintage house brand. This is the stunning Valencia Swing Dress in white and turquoise.

This dress is pretty on the website, but even more eye-catching in person. The colors are rich and vibrant- what you see is what you get! The gathered bust tapers down to a wide-banded waist, which really emphasizes an hour-glass shape. For bigger chested gals, I can vouch that the top feels secure and not at all flimsy; additionally, the shirring in back gives great room allowance, which in turn provides the most comfortable fit. There is also another color way available here, and they carry up to a 4x.

This is a timeless dress that is perfect for all shapes and sizes, and the style is versatile enough to take from day to night wear...and did I mention it has pockets?!

For my makeup details, I did a modern eyeshadow contour but overall, kept a classic theme/look. I used the Anastasia Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. My eyeliner is by Stila and Lipstick is by Kat Von D in Underage Red (click each for direct links.)

I paired this outfit with my Grandma's white vintage gloves, drop hoop earrings, and added black patent heels which are available also on Unique Vintage.

My nylons and garters, as always, are by Secrets in Lace. These are the Elegance French Heel 100% Nylons in "beige", which I feel are a classic staple to every vintage-inspired look. They are very soft and feel smooth to the touch while worn; one of my favorite features for these are the classic black back-seam. Very striking!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog. As always, comments below are a great way to keep in touch and to throw out any feedback!

What would you like to see next?

Until we meet again...

Bewitching Style

Happy October, lovelies. The season of bewitching style... For today's blog, I am featuring my favorite lingerie brand, Secrets in Lace , in a picture-heavy post to show just how versatile their pieces can be. I am wearing the Angela Point D'Esprit Blouse over the Andrea Vintage Strapless Longline bra. I wear these pieces often, and they always receive endless compliments. Also, as you may have already guessed, I am wearing a SIL garter belt and nylons; the Intrigue Garter Belt with the Dana Glamour heel in beige (backseams are my favorite, and oh-so classic). To change the look up and add even more Va-Va-Voom , I switched out the blouse for a vintage necklace to match my earrings, and faux leather opera length gloves to perfectly compliment my faux leather pencil skirt - you can actually find these on Amazon! My heels are Louboutin "New Very Prive" and were a perfect pick for this elegant, vampy loo...

Keeping it Classic

Happy February! This month marks one year since I began this blog! Also... how on earth did January fly by so quickly?! With this being my first post of the year, I would like to set a different tone from my usual retro/ pin-up/ vintage looks. I definitely don't stick to one strict style or play by any fashion rules [these days... yes, I was once a "vintage only" all-around rockabilly gal... and even a devoted punk rock teen]. Now, I just love a good mix of modern and classic pieces, sometimes with edgy elements thrown in, and I want to showcase more of that here. NOTE: That doesn't mean I won't still stay true to the typically vintage-inspired posts too. There will still be many of those! So let's get right into it... my top is by the UK brand Lady K Loves . They have really cute pieces that are great for building up a vintage-inspired wardrobe, or even incorporating into classy everyday looks. This top i...

For Sweethearts

Hello, loves! After much contemplation (procrastination?), I finally have a picture filled blog post, as promised! If you follow me on Instagram , you'll know that I frequently do style/O.O.T.D. posts, however, I only showcase a couple of photos from a complete set. Therefore, the purpose of this blog will be to provide much more content, as well as keep up with requested inquiries on look specifics and give more detailed feedback on each look. It's been a long time coming and I'm excited to begin this project with you guys! Since we are honing in on Valentine's Day, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to kick off with a themed post - what better than a baby pink dress paired with complimentary ivory lingerie? Whether you will be celebrating Valentine's Day with a loved one, friends or family, or by treating yourself (which I highly encourage), it cannot be denied that this is a perfect opportunity to dress up! ...
