Summer Chic


Back this week with another beautiful Stop Staring! dress - this is the Gardenia fitted dress, and is the epitome of timeless, summer chic.

This dress embodies everything Stop Staring's line promises; a classic style that flatters your figure. Their line starts at a size XS and goes up to a 4x, so there is sure to be something for every body shape and size. 

This wiggle dress hugs your curves in all the right ways... I especially love the color combination of this; the colors aren't my typical go-to, however, I really like how it looks against my complexion and the versatility.  Since it's a neutral color, there are many options for accessorizing.  I opted for my default hue: black.









I definitely played up the accessories for this to give an extra sophisticated, summer inspired look.  Oversized brim hat? Check.  Suede gloves? Check.  And of course, glam shades to polish off the whole look. 





As most of you already know, I always start my look with a good pair of lingerie and nylons.  This is key for a polished, elegant look (especially vintage inspired.)  As always, I am wearing my beloved Secrets in Lace 100% nylons, garter, thong and bra.  These particular nylons are a staple every gal needs in their wardrobe: neutral beige with a black welt, which just so happen to perfectly compliment this outfit... don't you agree?





Thank you for reading my blog, until next time...

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 b...

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! ...

Summertime

Ah, summertime... when the days are longer, and the vibe is more care-free.  It's the perfect time to bring out those lightweight frocks and store away the layers (in Southern California, anyway) .  The obvious dress choices would be bright, fun florals and patterns... however, I wanted to change it up and go for a more neutral summer look for this post. I opted for this wonderful curve-hugging classic by Stop Staring Clothing -  the Billion Dollar Baby Dress in tan and black dots.   I can confidently state that I own this style of dress more than any other, and for me, it's a no brainer as to why.  It's classic, chic,  and  comfortable... hugs your body in just the right way, keeping a bit of modesty while simultaneously showing off your best assets... truly a must own for every lady, no matter your shape or size. Fun fact:  I used to really dislike polka dot  anything ... I felt it was very cliche and obvious, especial...
