Dreaming of Spring

For todays post, I am featuring the beautiful vintage reproduction line Loco Lindo. This dress is the stunning 1940's inspired Rita Dress with White Rose Buds.

This dress has me feeling like it's already spring, even though it has been abnormally cold in San Diego (by cold, I mean in the lower 60's...). I usually don't wear a whole lot of white items, but Loco Lindo's line of clothing has changed my mind. Not to mention, I'm an absolute sucker for a good floral dress.

This dress is made of elegant french rayon crepe; therefore, it's lightweight and soft, but still of high-quality that you can feel. It has a drawstring in back to adjust and nip in the waist. I took a size small, and it's very true to size. All in all, a very flattering piece that can be easily dressed up or down.

Just like any vintage outfit, it's never complete without 100% nylons. Obviously, I had to color coordinate, so I went with my favorite Secrets in Lace Signature RHT nylons with a red welt.

I mean, who doesn't love a cheeky nylon peek?

For styling, I wore vintage accessories, other than my heels, which were purchased from Urban Outfitters a few years back. I switched my typically blue-based red lipstick for an orange based lip, one of my all-time favorites; Lady Danger by MAC.

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...

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! ...
