Pinup Girls at the Beach Part 2!

Here is part 2 and my second outfit blogged photos that were taken with Vera Gin Vintage at Bargara, Queensland, Australia. Here is the first part if you haven't read it yet: http://missmillacherry.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/pinup-girls-at-beach.html
We took these photos on the actual beach, on volcanic rocks and by some palm trees.
 This matching skirt and crop-top were custom made to my measurement's by Mamar Dynamite
 I also own a play-suit with matching detachable skirt also made by Mamar Dynamite.

My skirt and top is made out of a very light-weight cotton, has a zip & button in the skirt to get in and out of and the top is lined and has buttons down the back and on the halter strap.
I love the fabric print with the tropical flowers and all the fun bright colours.  This outfit is so great to wear in the summer, especially with Queensland's heat-wave we've been having of late.

Accessories included:
Pink wedges from Payless Australia.
Pink gumball necklace Your One Stop Pinup Shop
Tiki bangles and parasol Cherry Bay Fabulous and retro sunglasses Cherry Tree Lane Fashion
Wicked purse Pinup Girl Clothing (no longer in stock)

Here is Vera Gin Vintage and myself, after a successful morning taking some great photos for both our blogs!

In other news my first ever blog competition giveaway is coming along nicely, I'm just waiting on a couple of more goodies to add, then I can get the competition part underway! Hopefully by this time next week if all goes well.
Also I'm going to be starting a new segment on my blog titled "Getting to know my follow blogger friends", Vera Gin Vintage will be the first blogger friend we will be getting to know more of. Hopefully I will be able to post this within the next week!

Until next time!

Garden Photoshoot!

Nearly three weeks ago now I had a photo-shoot with  Chrome-plated photography. These are some of the images taken from the shoot!
I had to meet the photographer and his girlfriend at their house at 6:30am for hair and makeup. Miss Cherry Bombshell
did my hair and make-up which took way longer then expected (I have very thick hair and sometimes can take quite long to do a particular style). We wanted to start shooting photos by 8:30am but didn't actually start to about 9:30ish or so.
I had actually had another photo-shoot booked in straight after with another awesome photographer, so I was somewhat late for that one...oops!

 I actually won this photo-shoot from when I attended the Pinup's by the Sea event, in October last year. I went into the competition draw because I had some free photos taken with Chrome-plated photography at the event.
These photos were taken at Redcliffe Botanical Gardens, Queensland, Australia.
I love these photos so much and how amazing they turned out, I'm still waiting on the high-res ones which I should receive any day now. I also adore my hair and make-up thanks to the gorgeous Miss Cherry Bombshell!

Sweet Surrender Dress is by the brand  Tatyana (no longer available from their website).
Shoes and bangle are thrift-ed.
Other accessories were borrowed and belong to Miss Cherry Bombshell.

In other news I'm planning on doing my first ever competition giveaway aimed towards my lovely blog followers and readers! I'm arranging on giving away 2 differen't but similar packages which will include accessories from my favorite Australian pinup/rockabilly boutiques and business.

Pinup girls at the Beach!

Here is part 1 of the photos that were taken at Bargara, Queensland, Australia over the past weekend with follow pinup/vintage blogger and friend Miss Vera Gin Vintage!
We both decided to take these photos in the morning before it got too hot (which it ended up being a very hot day) and for minimum glare to our photos.
Bargara is such a great location for our photos as we were able to pose in front of numerous scenery locations and backgrounds.

In these photos I'm wearing my new high-waisted denim shorts by the Australian vintage reproduction brand Bonsai Kitten I bought these shorts through Your One Stop Pinup Shop. http://www.yosps.com.au/
These pinup style shorts are made from a stretchy navy denim, have a back zip, are cuffed, have front pockets and have two red anchor buttons on the front.  These shorts are perfect for summer here in Queensland, Australia.
My black/red top is thrift-ed so I don't know the brand etc but I thought this top had a rockabilly/pinup look to it.

I accessorized this outfit with my red tiki-carved heels from Lucky-Lou Shoes http://www.luckyloushoes.com/
A thrift-ed vintage wicker bag, red hibiscus hair-flower from an ebay seller.
Retro style sunglasses by Collectif which I bought through Gwynnies  https://gwynnies.com.au/
Sea-horse necklace and ocean sea shell brooch and earrings set from Your One Stop Pinup Shop
Parasol from Cherry Bay Fabulous (find on facebook) 

Here is a photo of Miss Vera Gin Vintage and I posing very similar on the rocks with our parasols, so very pinup!! By the way have you entered Vera Gin Vintage competition giveaway on her blog yet?

My Birthday!

On Saturday I drove down to Brisbane, Queensland (which is a 3 hour drive from where I live) and spent a few days down there. I Caught up with friends, family, had a couple of photo-shoots and I attended a friends baby shower.  Whilst I was in Brisbane it was actually my Birthday on the Monday and I got to spend a few hours with a gorgeous follow blogger whom I've been wanting to meet for a while now! A lot of you might know her as Miss Harlow Darling this is the link to her blog:  http://www.harlowdarling.com/

  We both meet up and had a lovely brunch together, chatted for a while and then went to the Brisbane Botanical gardens and took photos of each other!  I had such a wonderful time getting to know Miss Harlow better and taking photos with her, I hope to catch up with her again in the near future.
We both wore dresses from the vintage reproduction brand Retrospec'd   http://retrospecd.com/
I wore my Betty Fruit Basket dress by Retrospec'd.
 I adore the fruit basket print, the light cotton fabric, the pockets, length and all the colours on this gorgeous dress. This dress also came with a matching belt but I decided to wear another one instead.

I accessorized with a pair of flats from Payless Shoes
Fruit hair-piece was Your One Stop Pinup Shop   http://www.yosps.com.au/
Red cat-eye sunglasses from an ebay seller.
Necklace is vintage, bangles are thrift-ed, brooch is by Atomic Mingo 
Belt and wicker purse is by Pinup Couture   https://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/ 

I prefer taking blog photos with someone else as it's much more fun, easier and I feel a lot more braver taking photos out in the "public" with someone, other then on my own setting a timer on my camera. This weekend I hope to get some really great photos by the beach with Vera Gin Vintage.
I'm really happy that these photos turned out quite good, as being a little cloudy on the day helped with the photos not having a lot of glare to them.

I'm really looking forward to receiving my photos back from two photo-shoots I had done over the weekend and sharing them with you all in the near future!

Until next time!

Butterflies!

I bought this beautiful dress from a lady through a facebook buy/sell/swap group, for a reasonable price. This dress is by an Australian vintage reproduction brand called Retrospec'd   http://retrospecd.com/
This dress is called the Bella Butterfly.
I currently own five dresses from this brand and is now one of my favorite vintage reproduction brands. As well as dresses Retrospec'd also sell skirts, tops, pants, shorts, petticoats, shoes and pyjamas plus some menswear.

I love the print on this dress with the butterflies and floral design on the blue/turquoise 100% cotton twill fabric. This dress  has short capped sleeves, a ruffled bust line and a zip up the back to get in and out off.. On the Retrospec'd website the Bella dresses are not suitable for ladies with a larger bust line. So that means this dress is perfect for me!

I accessorize this dress with a pair of white peep-toe flats from Target Australia.
My new to me Pinup Couture purple wicker handbag, which I absolutely love!
Butterfly hair-clips and bangles from a local accessories boutique.
I also wore a petticoat from Lindybop other the dress.

From this weekend I'm on holidays for a week...yay!!   I'm planning on catching up with friends, attending a baby shower, having a couple of photo-shoots, meeting up with another vintage blogger friend, celebrating my birthday, my Mum's birthday, my niece/nephew birthdays and taking blog photos with my pinup friend and vintage blogger Miss Vera Gin Vintage. So expect some awesome upcoming blog posts!

Until next time!

Cherries and Roses!

For Christmas I had to exchange a gift I received so I ended up choosing this cute cherry play-suit by the brand Sourpuss Clothing from my local rockabilly/pinup clothing boutique called Cherry Tree Lane Fashions (find on facebook).
This play-suit is so comfortable to wear and great for the summer season, we've had a couple of really hot/steamy days, so this play-suit has really come in handy to wear to try and keep cool!
This play-suit is made out of stretchy cotton fabric, has shirring elastic in the back, is a halter-neck and has front pockets. The play-suit also came with a thin red belt, which I decided to not wear for these blog photos.

I'm accessorizing with a pair of black peep-toe wedges from Target Australia.
My cherry print handbag and hair-scarf also by Sourpuss Clothing.
Red and black bracelets are from Target Australia.
Red cat-eye sunglasses from ebay, and my new cherry necklace that I received at Christmas as well.

I really am loving play-suits/rompers and jumpsuits at the moment, I think they're just so cute and comfortable but yet so stylish.  I've been eyeing of this 1940's jumpsuit for winter this year, only thing it's a little on the expensive side! I'll have to see if I can work something out so I can purchase one.

The second blog photos is part 2 of photos I had taken by my friend and follow vintage blogger Miss Vera Gin Vintage before Christmas this is the link to Part 1 of the photos:  http://missmillacherry.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/red-roses.html

These photos were taken in a Japanese theme garden, in a rotunda and with the green grass, a little lake and some greatly placed rocks.
The dress I'm wearing is by the Australian vintage reproduction brand Retrospec'd http://retrospecd.com/  which I actually bought of an ebay seller for a great price.
I love the red roses and the green leaves on the white cotton fabric background. I also adore the style and how the straps tie up on the shoulders (only thing is I usually require someone to help me with the tiring of the straps). 

I accessorize this gorgeous dress with my red peep-toe heels from Lucky Lou Shoes.
My faux pearls from Collectif UK.  Red hair-flower, red floral earrings and bangle are all from various accessories boutiques.

I really hope to be a bit more adventures this year with my blog photos, especially now I know someone that lives a little closer to me and whom also blogs like myself and dresses pinup/vintage style like I do. As in a couple of weeks Miss Vera Vin Vintage and I are planning to take some seaside blog photos, which I'm looking forward to and I'm already planning on a couple of outfits to take photos of and review.

Until next time!

1920's Styling!

On New Years eve I dressed up in 1920's style for a Gatsby 1920's theme party.  This is the gorgeous gown I wore, which I bought from a young lady who was selling this dress for a really good price on a facebook buy/sell/swap group...I'm not quite sure of the brand etc but I just love the whole art deco style of the dress with the gold sequins, the strapless bodice and the tulle netting.

My friend and follow vintage blogged Miss Vera Gin Vintage https://veraginvintage.wordpress.com/  
dressed up too in 1920's and came out with me for the evening.  We both had a lovely time drinking a few cocktail wines, had a lovely meal together, entered the best dressed of the night which neither of us won the title!  We also listened to the band for a while, unfortunately the band didn't suit the theme of the night, as they seemed to play country/soft rock music, not swing style as I assumed the band of the night would have been playing.  So we both decided to leave before midnight and came back to my place and watch a Marilyn Monroe movie titled How to Marry a Millionaire.  We both still saw in the new year though!

I decided to accessorize this gorgeous gown with a pair of my black sandal heels from Target Australia, a costume necklace, earrings and bangle that were given to me a few years ago from various jewelry boutiques and my headpiece which I had made myself.

This year I plan to attend more pinup/rockabilly events, take some great blog photos, especially with Miss Vera Gin Vintage, have professional photoshoots with a couple of photographers in a couple of weeks for my birthday and meet up with another gorgeous and follow vintage blogger in a couple of weeks time.
I also have some new outfits to blogged about in the coming weeks...so stay tuned!

Until next time!
