Getting to Know Mid Century Sweetheart!

Please allow me to introduce to you all to my blogger interview series this beautiful young lady Eleonora from Mid Century Sweetheart Eleonora lives in Croatia.  I've been following this lovely lady's blog now for a few months, and I really love her blog review's her wonderful vintage inspired style and stunning photos!

I also follow Eleonora's instagram account @eleanor-rebel which I've been following for quite some time now and her facebook page which is: https://www.facebook.com/EleanorRebel/?fref=ts

 Question:  How did you come up with the name Mid Century Sweetheart for your blog?

I wanted something that would immediately tell the reader what to expect. I love 40s and 50s fashion, that is my everyday style so I wanted to incorporate that into my blog name so Mid Century came instantly to my mind, the other part was tough. Sweetheart came to me when I was drying my daughters hair, I found it cute and appropriate.

 

Question:  Please describe your blogging style?

 

 I am a positive person so I always seek and try to point out the best in everything and I believe in the old saying If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. So reviewing clothing, jewelry, bags etc I am always honest but never mean!  I love to write about clothes that is custom-made by my ideas, that is where my heart goes. I like to have professional photos for my blog but if that is not possible I go to nature with my mom, she is my backup photographer. 

 Question:  What inspired you to start blogging?

 

 I find my inspiration in many vintage/pin up bloggers but reading their posts sometimes I found something missing and by the time I decided to start a blog I had a lot of collaborations, lot of photos that were telling a story. I wanted to put that story out there, to tell others why and how much I love some products and brands. We live in a time when everything bad is louder than good, trolls are everywhere and compliments for hard work is hard to get. I wanted to write something nice about people and their goods in the pin up community.

 

Question:  Describe your fashion sense/style?

 

 After punk chick, rockabilly and modern pin up I found my heart in classic pin up. I find inspiration on Pinterest, Instagram and new movies and series that are set in the 40s and 50s. My style goes from 50s housewife to teen in saddle shoes with a lot of swing dresses and accessories. I love bangles and brooches, bright colors and novelty prints.

 Question:  Do you have any favorite bloggers and if so can you please name a few?

 

 Sure do! Junebugs and Georgia Peaches, Miss Amy May, Miss Psycho Cat, Miss Victory Violet, Alice in Retrospect, Miss Ginger Tulips, The vintage anatomy are the ones that came to my mind now, there are a lot of bloggers I follow.

 

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

 

 This year started amazing, a lot of collaborations are coming up (Miss Fortune UK, Love ur look, Lady Luck's Boutique,...) also a few old and new clothing pieces that are made to measure to inspired gals who sew will be on the blog next weeks. I'm coming to UK this summer so I hope to grab some true vintage pieces, lingerie, hats and bags to share with my readers.

 I hope you all enjoyed reading and getting to know Eleonora and her blog Mid Century Sweetheart a little better! 

Thank-you so much Eleonora for taking time to answer my blog interview questions!  

 

Until next time!

Peachy Keen!

This wonderful jumper is from UK clothing inspired brand Miss Fortune  which is called Bobbie Jumper - Peach Harlequin.
I love the harlequin print on this jumper (that's what attracted me the most) and also the Peach/orange/pink colours.  These harlequin jumpers have many different colour variations to choose from, which you can purchase from Miss Fortune's website.
These Bobbie Jumpers have short sleeves (which have some stretch and are not tight in the arms). They are cropped to high waist and are fitted. So would look good with high-waisted trousers/jeans, and pencil/swing skirts. I ordered size Large and it fits quite well on me and feels very comfortable to wear throughout the day.

I would recommend wearing these Bobbie Jumpers on a day when it's not too cold, unless you wear it under a jacket or even a cardigan on a really cold winters day.
These jumpers are made from 100% acrylic. I highly recommend on buying yourself one or even more of these gorgeous stylish jumpers!

These peach colour high-waisted trousers are custom made by Lulu Rocket Retro  this is not the first time I've had something custom made by Lulu Rocket Retro I've also had a circle skirt made here's the link to that: http://missmillacherry.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/tea-party.html

Anyway back to these trousers they are made from a light-weight cotton so hopefully will be okay to wear in summer, on colder days I'd wear stockings/tights underneath.  There is a side zip and button to secure (plus small white faux buttons down one side). Only slight downside the cotton fabric crinkles really easily and these trousers are not as wide legged as I hoped. But still stylish and will look good matched with other tops/blouses/jumpers etc.

Accessories Include:
Wicker vintage bag from a facebook buy/swap/sell group
Shoes from Payless Australia
Peach hair-scarf thrifted
Earrings from My Little Rockabilly
Bangles from various jewellery boutiques
Peachy Keen Jelly Bean Brooch from Atomic Mingo (no longer exists)

These blog photos were taken by my Mum down at a lovely place in Hervey Bay, Queensland called Arkarra Tea Gardens, which is located on two acres of beautiful, landscape natural gardens. You can enjoy having breakfast, lunch, tea/coffee/drinks out in the beautiful, relaxing surroundings.
Whilst my Mum, my sister and myself were enjoying lunch together we saw many bird wildlife, including Kookaburras here was one sitting above us.

In other news over the weekend I enjoyed taking blog photos of two different outfits (this outfit being one), going out for lunch with Mum and my sister on Saturday, catching up on my washing and some ironing.
I'm also eagerly waiting on some special parcels from Mr Postman to arrive, hopefully I get them soon! Apart from that just working etc.

Until next time!
