Summer Beach!

This gorgeous skirt was custom made for me to wear and feature on my blog. It's by an etsy business called Violets in May
This business is located in the United Kingdom, the beautiful owner Lola creates and sells wonderful designed vintage inspired outfits, you can either get something custom made (like I have) or choose an outfit that's listed on her etsy business Violets in May.
I just love the leaf print and the colours in this skirt, I can wear a lot of different colour tops with it, that I absolutely love! 
I found this skirt to be very well made and the length great for my height.
It's made from a sturdy cotton, has a zip fastening, a waist band and is a gathered full swing skirt. I actually chose not to wear a petticoat underneath, as I found it was full enough, plus I didn't want to wear one to the beach.

The light blue top I'm wearing is the "cross your heart bombshell pinup tank" and is from Le Bomb Shop  I actually own a few of these tops and I adore them, they are so stylish and great to wear especially in the summer in hot tropical Queensland. 
 You can wear this top a few different ways for example, crossed in the back (like I have) crossed in the front or have one strap just going across the front.  These tops have a sweetheart neckline, with a twisted bust detail and lightly padded breast cups. They come in sizes small to extra large and are made from 96% polyester and 4% spandex. They are currently listed on Le Bomb Shop's website for $18.99 each (US).

Accessories Include:
Sandals from Bait Footwear 
Star Burst Brooch from Erstwilder 
Sunglasses and tiki bangles from YOSPS 
Parasol from an ebay seller
Pink loop earrings from  Daisy Jean Floral Designs 

These photos were taken by my good friend "Miss Vera Vamp" a few weeks ago at a sleepy seaside beach called Woodgate. After these photos were taken, my friend and I chatted and relaxed on the beach for a couple of hours.  I made sure I applied the sunscreen, as I didn't want to get burnt like I did last time I was on the beach taking blog photos.

In other news I had a lovely but quiet Christmas/New Year, I was just happy to have a few days off over both weekends.
I'm on the countdown now until my birthday, that's in a couple of weeks. Then going away for a few days to Ballarat, Victoria in February to attend a big rockabilly/vintage festival called Ballarat Beat and even check out some of the vintage shops. My Mum, my sister and myself are all going together. I'm really looking forward to it!

Happy New Year to you all, I hope 2017 is really great to you all!

Until next time!

Diner Retro Barbie!

I knew I had to own this gorgeous print and skirt as soon as I spotted it on instagram, then on June Bugs and Georgia Peaches blog
I straight away sent a message to Dazey LaRue's etsy store, asking her if she could custom make me this gorgeous skirt to feature on my blog!
Dazey LaRue designs and sells custom tops, skirts and dresses from genuine vintage patterns. Plus she specializes in novelty prints, border print fashions and custom orders.  Dazey is located in San Francisco, USA.
The retro Barbie skirt is made from a light cotton and is gathered, from the waist and it has a zip with button closure.  I just adore this retro barbie print and the colours so much. A little background info on me when I was a young girl, I would play with my Barbie dolls for hours on end, either on my own or with my cousin and I/we would make up all sorts of stories with our Barbie's.

The peasant black top I'm also wearing is from Le Bomb Shop
This top is made from a light weight 90% cotton and 10% spandex.  It has an elastic neckline, that allows for on/off the shoulder wear.  The back of the bodice is also elasticized to allow for a custom fit and to get on and off, as there is no zipper in these tops. Only tiny downside for me, is the armholes felt a little tight up under my arms.  Sizes range from small to 3XL and price is $24.99 (US).  I also ordered an orange peasant top from Le Bomb Shop.

Accessories Include:
Black flats from Payless Australia
Barbie brooch from Deer Arrow 
White hoop earrings from Revere Folie 
Bangles and hair-scarf are thrifted
Wide retro belt from Pinup Girl Clothing 

This week's blog photos were taken by my friend Miss Vera Vamp at a new retro diner that's opening up soon in Bundaberg, Queensland called RJ's Rock N Roll Diner
I'm really looking forward to when it does open, as from what I saw that was actually done at the time, these photos were taken a few weeks ago, it's going to be so awesome!  I just hope the local people support the diner and keep it up and running!

 In other news, over the weekend I had a lovely time at both my Christmas staff party and at the local Christmas carols in the park with my sister.  This weekend I hope to try and finish of my Christmas shopping and hopefully catch up with my friend Miss Vera, we're talking about going meeting up a local beach.
Apart from that I'm on the countdown to Christmas and spending some time with the family and having a few days off from work.

Until next time!

Harlequin Style!

For my outfit of the day blog post, here I am wearing my new teal pinup top from Le Bomb Shop and my Harlequin skirt from Pinup Girl Clothing. Whilst accessorizing with my vintage purse.

I'm so happy that this teal top and skirt go so well together, I just love this outfit combo! This top is so comfortable and great to wear when it's really hot, like it has been over the last few days here in Queensland, Australia. I just love my harlequin skirt as well, it's just so well made and constructed  but I especially love the different color-ways and how you can match quite a number of tops/blouses with this skirt.
I wore this outfit combo to a 50's reproduction clothing and accessories boutique and also to an antique center.

The teal pinup top is from Le Bomb Shop http://lebombshop.net/
The harlequin Pinup Couture swing skirt I bought from a facebook group seller.
My vintage purse I bought from a vintage market store.
My black inclosed shoes are from a pre-loved boutique.
Petticoat is by the brand Hell Bunny which I bought from Gwynnies Emporium  http://gwynnies.com.au/   My blue sparrow necklace is from an ebay seller.

In the above photo I came across these harlequin style nails online, I could totally see myself having nail-art like this whilst wearing my harlequin skirt!

Until next time!

A Country Garden!

For my outfit of the day blog post, here I am wearing this cute pinup top from Le bomb shop, my Bernie Dexter skirt, whilst accessorizing with my peacock brooch.

I love my new yellow top from Le bomb shop http://lebombshop.net/  it's made of a lycra material, very comfortable to wear, especially in the summer. I'm so happy it matches my Bernie Dexter Trixie skirt. As I've stated in a previous blog post of mine http://cherrymilla82.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/bernie-dexter.html I really love the garden style print on this skirt, the light cotton material and the lipstick pockets, the only downside it's a little short for a swing/circle skirt for my taste. But still such a beautiful skirt to wear.
I wore this outfit on my day off from work, to visit a work-friend for a cuppa and a chat and to visit my favorite local rockabilly/pinup boutique.

 The top is from Le bomb shop.
The skirt is by the brand Bernie Dexter, which I bought online from Gwynnies Emporium http://gwynnies.com.au/
My sandal-wedges are from a store called Rivers. http://www.rivers.com.au/
My gorgeous peacock brooch is from a vintage market store holder and my yellow hair-flower is from a local market store that sells rockabilly/vintage accessories and clothing which is called Cherry Bay Fabulous (you can find on facebook).

The beautiful garden in the above photo, really matches my beautiful skirt, I just wish I could take photos wearing my whole outfit in a garden like this!

Until next time!
