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...

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...

Hello, darlings!  Though it's now June, I'm sneaking in one last spring-inspired dress before the official summer season kicks off.   As you may or may not know by now,  I'm a sucker for floral attire. This is my first time wearing the brand Hell Bunny , and I am really impressed with the quality for the price.  Usually at this price point, vintage-inspired clothing can look and feel a bit "costume" like and this is definitely not the case.  The cherry blossom & orchid pattern is very vibrant in person and the material is very light, comfortable and breathable - in fact, this is a great dress not only for spring, but summer as well.  What especially caught my eye with this adorable tea dress were the dainty details; the false collar with it's bronze button display is definitely one of my favorite features. The bust, personally, was a bit on the tight side, however the material has good room allowance, so it works.  The dress...

...the Midnight in Par is dress  by Trashy Diva, that is. While actually being in Paris right now sounds like a dream (I'm grateful to have visited in the past), dressing up in this Parisian inspired frock really elicits that romantic city feeling. Though the weather has been drastically cooler in Southern California this past week or so, this was still a very comfortable wear.  A coat wasn't necessary on this day, but a great piece to compliment this outfit would be a soft ivory cardigan or cream colored swing coat.  This dress is perfect for a day of strolling, and could easily be styled up for a night out.  I took my usual size 4 in this 1940's styled dress, though I have gone up to a size 6 in the past, depending on the fabric. Since this is stretch rayon, there is a bit of room allowance, and the fabric itself feels incredibly luxurious in person.   Now let's move on to what's underneath... because that's just as impor...
