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.

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! ...

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...

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...
