Paris in Black and White!

Earlier this week I bought a ticket/s to see Madonna "live" in concert, I'm so excited as I've never seen Madonna perform in concert ever! As she hasn't been here to Australia for 23 years, I know such a very long time hey! I've been a fan of Madonna for a long time now and have always wanted to see her "live" shows...she's touring here (Australia) in March next year. By the way I've actually bought two separate tickets to see her a more expensive one and a cheaper one. As this may be my one and only chance to see one of her concert show's!

This black and white skirt I have blogged about in a previous post here is the link: http://cherrymilla82.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/black-and-white.html  Even though this is not a true vintage skirt or actually from a vintage inspired reproduction brand, I still personally think it feels and looks like a skirt from the 1950's.

I love how this skirt is lined and has pockets as well, this skirt is a little big one me in the waist area but I just wear a belt with it, like in the above photo.
 I decided to wear this black and grey long sleeve knitted top with this skirt and accessorize with my Eiffel tower necklace, Eiffel tower hair clips, my white retro style sunglasses and my bullet bra brooch by the brand Glitter Paradise  http://glitterparadise.com/

Knitted long sleeve top is from Target.
Black and white striped skirt is from a pre-loved boutique.
Black sandal wedges are from Novo  http://www.novoshoes.com.au/
White belt is from a Hell Bunny dress I own.
Eiffel tower necklace is from a local accessories boutique.
Black bullet bra brooch is from Vintage Pip http://www.vintagepip.com.au/
White retro sunglasses and my Eiffel tower hair clips are both from ebay seller's.

I love this print off the Eiffel Tower in Paris that's hangs in my room, whenever I look at it, I can see myself walking down the street in Paris to the Eiffel Tower, in a similar outfit like I'm wearing for today's outfit blog post!

Until next time!

Flamingos Everywhere!

Today's outfit blog post is all about this cute flamingo cardigan by the brand Sourpuss Clothing and my new flamingo print skirt by the vintage reproduction brand Banned Apparel.  I'm accessorizing this outfit with my gorgeous flamingo handbag also by Banned Apparel.

I just love the two embroidered pink flamingos on this cardigan, the mint green colour, the little pink buttons down the front and the white frilly lace. Such a pretty little cardigan! This cardigan will be great to wear with some of my other skirts/pants I own. But as soon as I saw this flamingo printed skirt become available to purchase, I knew it would look great and match with this cardigan.
I'm so happy I did end up buying this skirt, as I love the flamingo and floral print, all the colors, the length and also the pockets! I can mix and match a few of my tops with this skirt also.

 My cardigan is by Sourpuss Clothing which I bought from their website: http://sourpussclothing.com/
My skirt is by Banned Apparel which I bought from Gwynnies Emporium: http://gwynnies.com.au/
My handbag is also by Banned Apparel which I bought from Poison Kandy Klothing: http://www.poisonkandyklothing.com.au/
The pink retro belt is by Hell Bunny which is also from Gwynnies Emporium.
The pink peep-toe wedges are from Williams Shoes: https://www.williamsshoes.com.au

I knew I had to post this photo up of flamingos everywhere to go with today's blog post. Gotta love those flamingos!

Until next time!

Pinup Girl Clothing!

This blog post is on the very popular vintage reproduction brand called Pinup Girl Clothing!

Pinup Girl clothing is based out of the USA, with all their clothing actually made in the United States. This popular brand designs, produces and sells dresses, skirts, tops, pants, shoes, swimwear, lingerie, bags and accessories.
You can purchase all their fashion items from their actual website which is: http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/ or from ebay, or just about any rockabilly/pinup/vintage inspired clothing stores and boutiques that sell Pinup Girl Clothing clothing and accessories.

I currently own one dress, two skirts and a pair of swimmers from this awesome brand. The first item I bought for myself was around six months ago and was a skirt from their actual website, which at that time Pinup Girl Clothing was having a great "sale" on. The skirt is called Jenny skirt is burlesque performer print by Pinup Couture.

As soon as I saw this skirt was on "sale" on the actual website, I knew I just had to purchase it!

I love the burlesque ladies print on it, plus the pink, blue and black colors. It's so unique and really stands out.
Plus I love the length and the fullness of the skirt, really looks great with or without a petticoat.

The shipping was supper fast, especially from the United States to Australia, but saying that the shipping costs can be a bit pricey though.

Here I am styling this awesome skirt, two different ways.

As I stated above Pinup Girl Clothing is a popular vintage reproduction brand, most ladies who love this type of fashion own at least one piece of clothing or accessory item in their wardrobes. I have found their clothing items to be made of high quality, and also feels like your wearing a true 1940's/50's piece of clothing. Also their designs/fabric prints are unique and beautiful.

The next piece I bought for myself was around five months ago, which was another skirt from a facebook Australian rockabilly buy, sell and swap group for a good price. This skirt is called Jenny skirt is turquoise, pink and black harlequin print by Pinup Couture.

I really love the harlequin print and the color-way of this skirt. Especially how you have a few colors to work with to match different tops with.

Once again I love the fullness and length of this skirt, it's such a gorgeous swing skirt. Very 1950's!

Here I am styling two different tops with this gorgeous skirt.

Pinup Girl Clothing prices for their clothing items are medium to the high price range, averaging between ($80 - $200) for a particular piece of garment. But if you keep an eye out for "sale" items or bargains, then their is a good chance you may pick up something for yourself for a very good price.

About three months ago I bought myself a dress from this brand from my local rockabilly/pinup boutique called Cherry Tree Lane Fashions. This dress is called Peasant dress in red vintage Spanish fan print (which is now sold out on the official website).

Peasant dress in red Spanish fan print.

I ended up putting this dress, plus some cherry print swimmers from this brand on lay-by for a few weeks. I really love the wiggle style, with the black peasant style top half and the red Spanish fan print on the bottom half.

This dress fits really well on me, I really love the high quality fabric and the top half is lined. Plus the dress at the back, down the bottom, has a slit to make walking feel comfortable.

Here I am styling this beautiful dress.

So far I have found sizing to be true to size, if you go by their actual measurements for each garment piece, which you can find on the actual website, if buying online.

I would highly recommend a fashion piece from Pinup Girl Clothing, as they're garments are made in the USA, are of high quality, very unique and look great on any lady who loves wearing vintage inspired fashions.

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!
