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...

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...

This summer flew by, and I'll be the first to admit that I've been guilty of neglecting this blog.  Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! I wanted to jump right into a transitional summer-to-autumn look. Then again, this outfit can work any time of year, really.  Today I will be showcasing two of my [obvious] favorite brands - Stop Staring Clothing and Secrets in Lace . Who doesn't love a good wiggle dress?  Every gal needs one in her closet... in every color.  This particular Stop Staring dress is definitely tops in my book, and it's appropriately named the Million Dollar Baby Dress .  I've always been a sucker for clothing that hugs my body and flaunts my curves; this not only does that, but also has great stretch for a very comfortable fit.  I especially love the wrap-twist bust line to really put the, er... "girls" on display... in a way that is very " va-va-voom",   yet remains classy.  The spaghett...

I'm delighted to be featuring one of my favorite brands again for this weeks blog, Stop Staring! Clothing . This dress is much different from the fun florals and bright colors I've blogged about in the past, which I'm loving, because it has me feelin' a certain way... let's say, vampy vixen, would you agree?  This dress, suitably named the " Twilight Dress ", is the perfect little black dress.  It also does everything for your figure a wiggle dress should... if you have curves, it'll flaunt them, and even if you don't, it certainly helps create them with the adjustable little cinch belt and sweetheart bust line. I am wearing a size small, and the fit is true to size.  The fabric is a high-quality stretch bengaline, so there is a bit of wiggle room if you like a snug fit like I do.  My favorite feature is the ultra feminine illusion blouse in sheer dot.  So elegant and timeless! For this look, I opted for ...

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...
