Voodoo Vixen

This blog post is about my review on the vintage reproduction brand called Voodoo Vixen.










Voodoo Vixen are based in the UK and mainly sell rockabilly/pinup/vintage inspired dresses, skirts, tops/blouses, shorts, play-suits, cardigans and some handbags.  Voodoo Vixen have their own website, where you can purchase yourself a gorgeous clothing piece for yourself, the website is: http://www.voodoovixen.co.uk/

I currently own two dresses from this brand, the first I bought for myself around six months ago from an Australian clothing boutique, on facebook for a reasonable price. The dress is called "kitty cut out swing dress".

I just love the print design with the little black cats on this dress, and the pink background. I also love the style of this dress with the cut out neckline and the little pockets.
Another bonus is that this dress came with a cute black belt.

The dress has a side zipper to get in and out off.
This dress fits me perfectly and I like the length as well.

It's just so pretty and cute!




Here I am personally styling this cute dress. I've just added my own belts to it, instead of the black one. Just to change the look a bit.


Voodoo Vixen have some really awesome novelty prints, great colors and designs on their fashion items! This brands clothing is also of a very good quality for their prices, which ranges from low to medium prices. Usually between $40 - $90, depending on the style, design and look of the fashion item.

The next dress I bought for myself was around three weeks ago for a very reasonable price which was from an Australian boutique called Gwynnies Emporium the website address is: http://gwynnies.com.au/
This dress I bought is called "Angie dress".

I really love the floral design print and the wrinkled front bust area of this dress. Also the light blue background, just so pretty!

It's such a lovely dress to wear in the spring/summer seasons. Especially because of the length, as it is a little shorter then my other rockabilly/pinup/50's inspired dresses.

Once again this dress is a good fit. Only thing I've found the straps do fall down from time to time, but that's probably because of my smaller bust size!




Here is myself personally styling this lovely dress.

You can purchase Voodoo Vixen vintage inspired clothing for the modern woman from their actual website, from ebay, and from most rockabilly/pinup/vintage inspired clothing boutiques and websites.

Do you own anything from the brand Voodoo Vixen?

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!
