Hearts and Roses London

This is my review on the vintage reproduction clothing brand called "Hearts and Roses London" or
"H & R London".


This brand is based in the UK. "H & R" mainly sell dresses but they also sell coats, petticoats and trousers.

I bought my first "H & R" dress about six months ago from ebay as I liked the look and style of it and it was on sale for a reasonable price, the dress the model is wearing in the picture below is what I bought for myself.

I love this design, the white poker dots on the blue background and also the buttons on the front of this dress.

Most of their dresses have a black tulle around the bottom edging to make it look like a petticoat underneath.
"Hearts and Roses London" do have their own website but it's only for wholesale retail customers not for general everyday customers. But you can find most of their dresses anywhere that sell rockabilly/alternative or pinup/vintage fashions and also from ebay.

This is me personally styling this gorgeous dress, with an actual petticoat underneath.
I bought another dress from this brand about three months ago from a little retail shop called "Poison Kandy Klothing" their based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. They do have their own facebook page. If you want to look them up!
This is the dress below that the model is wearing.
I love the floral print on this dress, it's so pretty.




















I find the two dresses I do own from this brand are very true to size and fit very well for my body shape. For being a budget type of brand, their dresses are very well made, I also like the length of most of their dresses. Even though this brand is not "well known", I still like their clothing.

I really like the floral print on this dress, it's very pretty.

Most of their dresses retail from low to medium prices usually ($40 - $70). Which can be quite affordable, to add to your growing fashion collection or if your just after something a "bit unique" in your wardrobe!

Do you own anything from the brand "Hearts and Roses London?"

Until next time!

My top 10 loves and interests

1. My (immediate) Family  - because they are everything to me, I love my family very much! We are all so close and we all get along (most of the time).

My family - since this photo was taken I have now got a beautiful niece and nephew.
















2. My girlfriends - most I've known since High School, and I love catching up with them all, whenever I get the chance.

3. My cats - at present we have 4 of them. Their names are Brandy (16 years), Bo (5 years), Latte (1 year) and Angel (1 year). RIP Kimba and Eli!  Even though each cat can be extremely annoying at times, I still love all my cats, as they really do become part of the family.

Clockwise from the top right Latte, Angel, Brandy and Bo.

 4. Shopping - Either online or going to a shopping centre. I like window shopping but most preferably I rather actually buy clothes, shoes, bags or any other fashion accessories. Looking at and buying new things, makes my feel happy!

5. Madonna - I'm such a big fan, which I have been now for quite some time. I love her music, how she can easily re-invent herself and how she's not afraid to push boundaries - well she is the Queen of pop after all!


 6. Listening and dancing to music and even going to concerts - Some of my favorite music stars/acts are: Pink, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, No Doubt, Garbage, Kelly Clarkson, Robbie Williams, The Eagles and most recently Imelda May. I've also seen most of these acts in concert, I love seeing someone "live in concert". It's quite fun and exciting.

7. Going on a holiday - preferably somewhere I've never been before and either with family or friends. But it does help if you actually have money to go away somewhere!

8. Collecting Paris/Eiffel tower, cherry and flamingo themed items - This includes mugs, plates, prints, clothing, bags, furniture and jewellery. All three are so pretty, chic and cute, which I love.  

Cherry necklace, flamingo ornament, Paris fabric print and a Paris suitcase.
 9. Social networking such as Facebook and Instagram - I love looking and reading at what people post on their wall or feed.

10. Fashion/clothing - Most recently rockabilly/pinup and 50's style fashions, as this style is so unique, feminine and beautiful.


I love how beautiful and colorful this type of fashion is.
Have you got similar likes/loves?

Until next time!
