Festive in Trashy Diva



It's the most dazzling time of the year...

'Tis the season for having a great many excuses to dress up; gatherings, festivities, or even just a late afternoon stroll to one of my favorite Christmas trees.  I decided to start December off with one of my favorites by Trashy Diva; the Candice Gwinn Lena Dress.  In my opinion, this is one of their most exquisite collections yet, and I'm sure you can agree.

It's no secret by now that Trashy Diva makes up a great percentage of my wardrobe, though I did recently notice that most are day-dresses (I'm a sucker for their novelty prints).  This is one of my first TD "evening" dresses and it's completely striking in person. 






Now I say "evening dress" a bit loosely since, honestly, you can wear this whenever and however you please (glamorous grocery shopping, anyone)?  This dress is more versatile than say, a ballgown, and it's perfectly placed details are not over the top.  Though I do want to point out that with the material being a high-quality ribbed rayon, it doesn't have much extra room allowance to it.  I typically wear a size 4, but for this, took a 6; so when shopping this particular style, be sure to size up. 




I also want to point out how well-supported this dress is for larger busted gals; which can be difficult to find with halter styles.  Not to mention, the gorgeous black beading upon its flattering sweetheart bust-line makes for a great display.


For my make-up I kept it classic and simple, using Urban Decay "F-Bomb" lipstick and Kat Von D's glimmer eyeshadow palette, as well as her new eyebrow pomade in medium brown. All of my accessories are true vintage.


That's it for todays blog post; a whole lot more looks for December will be posted soon, so make sure to subscribe!




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...
