Calling For Flowers!

Apparently it's supposed to get really cold for Queensland weather standards over the next few days, which I'm totally not looking forward to! I really don't like cold/freezing weather, sometimes it's just so hard to get and stay warm. Also it does make it challenging to dress nicely but also to stay warm as well. I just hope this coming cold snap doesn't stay around for too long!

This pretty floral dress for today's blog I have blogged previously before here is the link:  http://cherrymilla82.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/bouquet-of-flowers.html   I just love this dress by Hearts and Roses London.  I love the floral print, the sturdy cotton fabric and the 1950's swing style of this dress.
This dress is great to wear in the summer and in the winter months, just had a cardigan/jacket or tights/stockings like I have for these blog photos.
I decided to accessorize this dress with my Erstwilder milkshake brooch, my blue cardigan, my petticoat, a necklace and a pink hair-flower.
Hearts and Roses floral dress is from Poison Kandy Klothing http://www.poisonkandyklothing.com.au/
Blue cardigan is from Kmart Australia.
Silver flats are from Rivers Australia.
White petticoat is from an ebay seller.
Erstwilder milkshake brooch is from Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/ 
 Tights, hair-flower and necklace are from a local accessories store.
I thought I would use this vintage reproduction phone as a prop for today's outfit blog photos, it actually belongs to my Mum,  she loves vintage inspired furniture and homewares.

Until next time!

Rockabilly Red!

I have recently sold a few of my pinup/rockabilly dresses that are either a little big, tight or not really a favorite of mine anymore through a facebook group to make room for more gorgeous dresses and outfits! Otherwise if I don't let go of some of my clothes my wardrobe will just end up getting out of control! There are quite a few dresses/skirts I've been eying of and wanting to add to my ever growing wardrobe recently and this dress I'm blogging today is one of these!

I bought this dress through Glamour Bunny website it is the Wanda Red 1950's Retro Pinup dress. I just love the red colour, the white collar and white sleeve edging, the white buttons down the front top-half and the little belt.
Other great features is the pleated skirt and the light cotton fabric. Only downside for me is there are no pockets and it's not lined. But I still love this dress all the same.
I decided to accessorize this dress with my white cardigan, my Collectif retro sunglasses and my Erstwilder curling Cassandra cat brooch.
Wanda dress is from Glamour Bunny UK   http://www.glamourbunny.co.uk
Red flats are from Kmart.
White cardigan is from Target.
Erstwilder brooch is from a vintage fair market.
Collectif sunglasses are from Gwynnies Emporium   http://gwynnies.com.au/
Red umbrella is from a pre-loved boutique.

I thought my red umbrella would go very well used as a prop for today's outfit blog photos! I just adore this umbrella!

Until next time!
