My Top 5 Fashion Accessories Wish List!

This blog post is all about the top 5 fashion accessories, that i hope to buy myself in the near future or to be given as Christmas/Birthday gifts! (hint, hint)

Starting my wish list of with:

No. 1     A Pinup Couture wicker purse

I love either the (baguette) lavender or the red (purse) one.

I have been eying of these handbags for a while now, as I love the look and style of them. Also they would go so great with some of my outfits! The main reason I haven't as of yet got around to buying myself one is because of the price!
From the actual Pinup Girl Clothing website: http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/  they're priced at $78 (US) each, plus shipping costs to Australia, so it does end up being quite costly for a handbag.
I have also seen these bags on some Australian websites as well ranging between $80 - $120.
I probably will wait for a sale on one of the websites to purchase myself one of these gorgeous handbags!

No. 2    A Rockabilly/Pinup Sun Parasol

Rockabilly/pinup sun parasols.

I really would like to invest in my own unique parasol! As I think they're a great addition to any vintage, rockabilly or pinup outfit, they can also help protect you from the sun! I want one to take with me to any rockabilly/50's/vintage festivals I may attend in the near future.
To buy a good quality one they price between $20 - $50.
I've seen these for sale on some websites, etsy and ebay. For example the Sourpuss clothing website sell them. http://www.sourpussclothing.com/gals/accessories/parasols.html

No. 3   Luxulite brooch

Luxulite brooches

I've seen many ladies on instagram wearing these and they look real cute. Especially when they suit the outfit style for example the color and theme. I hope to buy one for myself in the near future, to go with some of my outfits!
These brooches are for purchase on etsy the actual website is: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Luxulite
The price range for a brooch is usually between $10 - $40 (US) plus shipping.
The lady (UK seller) that designs,makes and sell these brooches also sells earrings and necklaces.

No. 4    Tiki bamboo bangles

Tiki bamboo bangles - plain and color ones.

These bangles look so cool with Hawaiian/tiki/tropical theme outfits! I would love to accessorize these with some of my tropical theme skirts/dresses.
I've seen these style of bangles to buy both on ebay and etsy. Also to purchase on this website: http://bowandcrossbones.com/products/kitsch-tiki-bamboo-bangle-round-more-colours-more-qtys
The price range is approximately $5 upwards for each bangle.

No.  5

LadyRowe hair-flowers

I've also seen these beautiful hair-flower pieces on instagram and have thought to myself wow these are really gorgeous pieces to accessorize with rockabilly/pinup theme outfits!
The beautiful lady (Australian) who designs, and sell these flowers has her own etsy website where you can buy direct from. The website is: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/LADYROWE
I've also seen them for sale on a couple of Australian boutique websites for example "Stars and Swallows" and "Gwynnies Emporium".
The price range is usually between $25.00 - $40.00 plus postage.

Do you own any of these top 5 accessories or wish to buy any yourself?

Until next time!

My Custom made skirts - by Betty Le Bonbon!

Early on in the year I had two circle/swing skirts custom made by "Betty Le Bonbon, cheek boutique". Both skirts I really love, so this is my review on this awesome company!

"Betty Le Bonbon" is an Australian (Melbourne) custom made clothing boutique, the company mainly create and sell their own skirts, petticoats and from time to time dresses.

Their motto is "vintage styles for the modern pinup". "Betty Le Bonbon" are mostly known though for their custom made circle/swing and gathered skirts.

The company's website is http://www.bettylebonbon.com/

I came across this design company on instagram and I loved the skirt fabric prints, so then I decided that I would inquire, about getting myself a couple of skirts custom made!

I found their facebook page and looked at all of the fabric prints that were available. Then I sent a personal message to the company to gain all details on how to get myself a couple of these wonderful skirts made!

Below are the prints I choose:

A flamingo and a Paris scene fabric print

 "Betty Le Bonbon" offer payment plans, which is a bonus and a help, especially if your on a budget!

All you have to do is put down a deposit payment (usually $30), then once a fornight put down another payment, until you paid the skirt/s off! You have up to 10 weeks to pay for items.
Once payment is complete, then your skirts are ready to be custom made! 

Here I'm wearing the Paris print without a petticoat and the flamingo print with a petticoat.

 I really love the unique fabric print and the quality of these skirts, you can wear them with or without a petticoat and both look great!

I highly recommend on ordering a skirt through "Betty Le Bonbon, Cheek boutique". For something that is "Australian made" and unique at the same time. 

The creator of "Betty Le Bonbon, cheek boutique" is a lovely lady named Jasmine!

This is me personally styling the Paris print skirt.

This is me recently personally styling the flamingo print skirt.

Have you had any clothing items custom made by "Betty Le Bonbon" or any other Australian design company?

Until next time!
