Collectif

This blog post is my review on the vintage reproduction clothing brand Collectif!

Collectif are based in the UK and mainly sell women's vintage style clothing for example dresses, skirts, blouses, trousers, shorts and knitwear etc and ladies accessories for example jewellery, handbags, hats, sunglasses and belts etc.
Collectif have their own website where you can purchase yourself something really well-made and lovely from, their website is: https://www.collectif.co.uk/.

I currently own 2 gorgeous dresses, a top and a cardigan from this brand! The first dress I bought myself was around three months ago from Collectif's official website, at the time they were currently having a "sale" on a lot of their items and I got myself the pink hibiscus sarong dress for a very reasonable price!

Pink Hibiscus Sarong dress

I really love the print and design of this dress, it's so "pinup tiki inspired" and very tropical looking. A great dress to wear for spring/summer!

This dress is really well-made and constructed. It's also lined and comes with a matching belt. This dress has a back zipper to get in and out off.

It's such a beautiful dress to wear and fits well!

Here I am personally styling the "pink hibiscus sarong dress".

So far I have found Collectif clothing to be very well-made and designed, as both dresses I do own are lined, and the fabric is of very good quality.
Collectif pricing is around the medium price range, usually between $60 - $120 for a particular item of clothing. But from time to time you can pick up something really beautiful on "sale" for yourself  like I have. You just need to be willing to look around online for a "bargain"!

The next dress I bought myself was around two months ago, from an ebay seller. Once again for a reasonable price, this dress is called the violet cherry print dress.

I just had to had to buy this dress, because of the cherry fabric print and it was selling for such a good price.

I also love the design and style of this dress, it's very 1940's vintage inspired!

This dress is also lined, has a side zipper to get in and out of and has 4 little pearl buttons on the front.
Also it fits on me really well.

Myself styling the "violet cherry print dress".

You can buy Collectif clothing from their own website, ebay, and from most rockabilly/pinup/vintage inspired websites and stores.

Do you like the brand Collectif?

Until next time!

Queen of Pop Madonna!!

My love for Madonna began around the age of ten or eleven, my cousin owned a video collection of Madonna's biggest hits from the 80's for example Lucky Star,  Like a Virgin, Papa don't Preach, Like a Prayer and Vogue, so I sat down and watched it with her and loved all of Madonna's songs and video clips on the video!

After that I made myself a mixed tape which had all of Madonna's biggest hits from the 80's on it. I would listen to it over and over again but it wasn't until I was around fourteen when I got myself "The Immaculate Collection" CD, my Madonna dedication and collection grew!

Some of my collection to date is:
I own all of her studio and compilation album releases on CD, and some on vinyl, some CD singles, DVD's including movies Madonna has stared in and her live concert tours.
I also own books, calenders, posters, coffee mugs, t-shirts, and magazines.







There's a number of reasons why I love Madonna, of course her music being No 1!
But I also love her ambition, how she can easily re-invent her music and herself, her talent of dancing, singing, acting, directing, writing, producing, the list goes on....

Yes Madonna is well known as being a total bitch! But I believe that's why she has flourished in the music business for so long, as she has never wanted the public to see her "weak side". But as a strong willed female music businesswoman, that's gets the job done!

Since Madonna has became a mother though her "media persona" has somewhat mellowed. As she has previous stated in interview's "Motherhood has changed me".

I can totally tell she loves and adores her four children, Lourdes and Rocco (biological) David and Mercy (adopted).
Madonna has given her children every opportunity for them to live to their highest potential. 







Only downside of being a fan of Madonna and living in Australia, I have never seen her "live" in concert, as she never comes here to tour!! The last time she was actually here was back in the year 1993 for "The Girlie Show" tour, but I was too young to see her in concert then!

For the last three years though I've been going to an annual "Madonna dance party", which I totally love going to, as it's just Madonna music, Madonna fans and dancing...so much fun! I've also made some good friends from going to this dance party.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter in Madonna's music career with her new studio album being released sometime next year and then hopefully touring again. But this time actually touring Australia, well one can hope, can't they?









Love or dislike Madonna, she will go down in history as being a true Icon - The Queen of Pop!

Do you believe Madonna is a true music Icon?

Until next time!
