This blog post is my review on the vintage reproduction brand called Bernie Dexter.

Bernie Dexter is not just the name of this vintage fashion inspired brand, but it's also the name of the  CEO, and fashion designer behind the label that is Bernie Dexter! This brand is based out of the United States, with all the fashion items actually made in the USA.
Bernie Dexter designs and sells pinup dresses, skirts, pants, tops and swimwear.
You can purchase any of these fashion items from the actual website which is: http://berniedexter.com/ or from ebay and just about any other vintage/rockabilly/pinup inspired fashion stores and boutiques that sells this brand.

I currently own one dress and one skirt from this brand. The first I bought myself was a dress, around nine months ago from my local rockabilly/pinup boutique called Cherry Tree Lane Fashions. This dress is the Beatrice pink poodle print pinup dress.

I really love the Paris scenery print on this dress, the cotton fabric and the pink and white colors.
The white bust bodice and draped neckline is so amazing on this dress.

This dress also has lipstick pockets and comes with a white belt.

Only downside, it's a little tight in the waist, but I  still wear this gorgeous dress.








 

Here I am styling this beautiful dress.

So far I have found Bernie Dexter to design and produce beautiful and unique dresses and skirts. Only downside most of the dresses are not lined and are somewhat expensive to purchase if you do actually pay full-price.
The price ranges is usually between $100 - $200 for a particular piece of item. But you can pay cheaper prices if you look out for "sale" items, of buy from ebay etc.

A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a skirt which I ordered from Gwynnies Emporium the website is: http://gwynnies.com.au/ this skirt is called Trixie in serenity bridge. I wanted to buy the dress version, but their was a mix up on my order with another company I was ordering through. I received a full refund, but end up buying the skirt instead.

I really love the light cotton fabric and garden style print on the skirt, with the greenery, flowers, water and bridges. It's so beautiful.
This skirt also comes with lipstick pockets.
Such a great summer skirt!

Only downside for me, is the length, just wish it was a little longer, like by two inches as it only comes to my knees.

Here I am styling this lovely skirt.

So far I have found Bernie Dexter sizing to be somewhat on the small size, as I'd thought a size Large would fit me, but as I stated above the dress I do own, is a little firm in the waist area. The skirt fits better though, as I actually went a size up to extra large. But if your are buying online make sure you go by the actual measurements, which you can find on the official Bernie Dexter website.

I would really recommend Bernie Dexter to any fashionable vintage/pinup/rockabilly inspired ladies, that wishes to own a unique piece of clothing!

Until next time!

My Birthday gifts!

Hi all!
Yesterday was my birthday, I didn't do much though as I had to work, even though it was a Sunday! I work every second weekend as an Aged Care worker, that's shift work for ya!
But I'm planning on going out for dinner one night this week, with some of the family.

I did receive heaps of birthday messages on both facebook and instagram, which I appreciated very much.

Anyway for my birthday I mostly was give some money this year, so I can purchase for myself what I wanted!
But I did received this really cute flamingo wall print from my sister.

I haven't found a area in my place to hang it, as of yet but I'm sure I will.











Today a parcel came in the mail for me, it was a pink flamingo handbag from the vintage reproduction company called Banned. This gift was from my Mum.

This handbag is from a rockabilly store in Queensland called Poison Kandy Klothing this is their website: http://www.poisonkandyklothing.com.au/

I love this bag, it's just so adorable with the pink flamingos, flowers and the pink background.







Also my Brother and his girlfriend gave me some money, which I'm going to use to pay the rest of on a dress I've had on lay-by from my local rockabilly/pinup store called Cherry Tree Lane Fashion (you can find on facebook).

This dress is from the brand vintage reproduction brand Hell Bunny, I really love this dress, the color, the white poker-dots, heart shape pockets, white sleeves etc. I am somewhat worried though it's going to look more costume inspired, then rockabilly/vintage/pinup inspired.

Anyway this dress is somewhat different and should be fun to wear!







I've also just ordered my first Luxulite brooch with some of the money I received, which should come in the mail, in the next two weeks.

This is the exact brooch I ordered, I'm looking forward to wearing it with some of my outfits!

I love the little red cherries and the colorful confetti back pin.












I'm also wanting to buy a couple of other fashion accessories, with my birthday money. Which will be  a blue rockabilly/pinup belt to accessorize with some of my outfits and a red hibiscus hair flower.

In the coming weeks, I hope to show these pretties in some of my outfit posts!

Until next time!
