Tea Party!

A few weeks ago I ordered a custom made skirt from an Australian vintage inspired company called Lulu Rocket Retro
This company sell women's clothing, shoes and accessories from well known vintage inspired brand names from both Australia and around the world.
But the lovely owner also custom makes her own vintage inspired dresses and skirts which you can directly order from her website http://lulurocketretro.bigcartel.com/  or facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LuluRocketRetro/
Which is what I did, I had a look at all her photos on her facebook page and choose this lovely tea pot/canister/cup print and ask if she could make this print into a circle/swing skirt for me and here is the end result that I wanted to share with you all!
I just thought this print was so cute and very different from other fabric print's I've seen. I've sent the lovely owner of Lulu Rocket Retro my waist measurements and that I preferred a gathered skirt (easier to iron).  This fabric is custom printed so I had to wait a few weeks until it was ordered and delivered to be custom made for me.
I just love this skirt, it's made out of 100% cotton and has a back zip and button to get in and out of.
I highly recommend ordering yourself something from Lulu Rocket Retro, something that is custom made to your measurement and style and that's unique for you!
I decided to wear my vintage shirt with this skirt and a petticoat underneath for extra shape and structure.
Accessories Include:
Shoes are thrifted
Tea set brooch is from Deer Arrow
Earrings are from Colette by Colette Hayman
Necklace and hair-scarf were both given to me by Lulu Retro Rocket


 These photos were beautifully taken by my Mum at the most gorgeous cottage and gardens called Vintage Rose Cottage
Their gardens and their own home is out of this world amazing, so much to look at, take in and admire!  The lovely owners open their home and gardens every weekend for visitors to come and enjoy. As well as looking around at the gardens and inside their home, you can order yourself something delicious to eat or drink, and sit down and admire the view.
My Mum, sister and I want to go back again real soon, as we had such a lovely few hours there plus  hopefully to take more blog photos as there are stunning area's I didn't get a chance to take a photo in/with.
In other news I have a professional photoshoot with a awesome vintage car tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to!
I have two outfits/themes I'm going to wear and get photographed in.  I hope to share these with you all soon!

Also if you mention that you've read this blog post on Lulu Rocket Retro facebook page, under my blog link the lovely owner will be sharing on her facebook page - you'll received a 10% discount code to order yourself something really lovely for yourself!

Until next time!

Getting to Know Hungry and Nosalgic!

Let me introduce to you all this stylish lady to my blogger interview series Hungry and Nosalgic or aka Caramella!
I've been following Caramella's blog now for around a year.  Caramella posts wonderful food, outfit, hair and accessories reviews!  She's a huge Elvis fan, has a great singing voice and her rockabilly/vintage style is so cute yet fun.
I also follow Caramella on instagram, her account name is called HungryCaramella.

I highly recommend on following this lovely ladies blog and/or instagram account!
Question:  How did you come up with the name Hungry and Nosalgic/Caramella for your blog?

 Caramella means Candy in Italian and it's the perfect name for me since I love sweets! As for my blog -Hungry and Nostalgic- I came up with that because those are the two words that best describe me ;)

Question:  Please describe your blogging style?

 My blogging style is quite simple. I post pictures of my outfits, I write reviews and sometimes I post about food or events. I try to keep things midcentury/vintage related. Most importantly, you'll notice that Elvis is often in my posts. He is my everything!

Question:  What inspired you to start blogging?

 I read about bloggers in magazines and I stumbled upon many while searching for beauty products/makeup tutorials on the web. I thought it would be a fun past time and I wanted to show off my outfits and connect with other bloggers from around the world. 

Question:  Describe your fashion sense/style?

 When I first started blogging, I had no style (haha). What I mean is, my style was rather plain and ''anonymous'' apart from my beloved polka dots! I've always been attracted to everything from the fifties (especially the music and fashion), ever since I was a little girl. I didn't dress completely retro though when I first started blogging, because I couldn't find many fifties-style clothing in stores. Then one day, I discovered vintage shops and vintage reproduction brands, and that's when my ''outside'' finally matched my ''inside.''  My style is vintage, rockabilly and Elvis inspired.
 Question:  Do you have any favorite bloggers and if so can you please name a few?

 Well, one of them is definitely Miss Milla Cherry ;) I also love Peaches McGinty, Peaches Belvedere and Chronically Vintage.

Question:  What can your readers/followers expect from you and your blog over the next 12 months?

 I'm gonna keep on doin' what I do! More retro outfits, more reviews and more ELVIS!
 I hope you all enjoy reading and getting to know Caramella and her blog Hungry and Nosalgic a little better!

I'm very thankful and happy Caramella agreed to take part in my "Getting to Know" blogger interview series on my blog!

Until next time!
