Back this week with another beautiful Stop Staring! dress - this is the Gardenia fitted dress, and is the epitome of timeless, summer chic. This dress embodies everything Stop Staring's line promises; a classic style that flatters your figure. Their line starts at a size XS and goes up to a 4x, so there is sure to be something for every body shape and size.  This wiggle dress hugs your curves in all the right ways... I especially love the color combination of this; the colors aren't my typical go-to, however, I really like how it looks against my complexion and the versatility.  Since it's a neutral color, there are many options for accessorizing.  I opted for my default hue: black. I definitely played up the accessories for this to give an extra sophisticated, summer inspired look.  Oversized brim hat? Check.  Suede gloves? Check.  And of course, glam shades to polish off the whole look.  As mo...

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...

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...

Hello, lovelies!  It's been another whirlwind of a week, but ended perfectly with a little family trip down to San Diego. It's definitely been a lot warmer down here since my last post, and the flowers are finally in full bloom.  I love bringing out all of my spring inspired and floral pieces, though this dress by  Trashy Diva  is special in a few different ways. The bright pop of magenta against the contrasting deep black swept me right off my feet, as it perfectly blends my two favorite elements - girly with a dash of noir. If there is any dress that captures my aesthetic, then it's this one. The Magenta Floral collection was a recent re-release by Trashy Diva, as it was highly requested by Trashy Diva's loyal followers.  Though it is labeled as a "fall floral", the versatility of this dress allows it to be styled in a variety of ways throughout the year.  This particular style is the "Obi dress" and I am wearing a siz...
