Retro Western!

This is my second retro style T-shirt I have from Atomic Swag Apparel  I just love these tee's so much because of their wonderful prints for example country/western and tropical/Hawaiian. Plus they are  very comfortable to wear and fit really well!
Atomic Swag Apparel are based in California, America and sell ladies, men's and kids retro 1950's inspired t-shirts.
My tee I'm wearing and reviewing here is called square dancers, this design is inspired by three amazing 1950's t.v. shows called The Old American Barn Dance, the Grand Old Opry and Tex Rittler's Ranch Party.
It's made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton, which is great for sensitive skin and is breathable to wear. Comes in sizes extra small to 2X Large.  Also the prints are made using water based ink's so they will always feel soft, never chip, fade or peel away, as stated on the company's website. This tee is currently listed on their website to purchase for $34.34 (Aus) or $25.94 (US).

These 1940's swing trousers are from Vivien of Holloway  I love the caramel colour, which looks great with many different tops, knitwear and blouses.  The trousers are made from a soft fabric so are very comfortable to wear.  The fabric is 80% polyester, 15% viscose and 15% elastane.  There are four stylish buttons down the side, to get in and out off and are high-waisted.  They also have a small pocket on the front.
Actually these trousers have just been re-released to order through Vivien of Holloway and are currently listed for 55 £ or around $95 (Aus). They come in sizes waist: 24 inches and hips: 36 inches up to waist: 38 inches and hips: 50 inches.

Accessories Include:
Boots from Target Australia
Handbag thrifted
Sunglasses from Your one stop pinup shop
Earrings from Colette by Colette Hayman
Bangle thrifted
Brooch by Erstwilder ordered through Vintage Pip

These photos were taken by myself with my tripod and my new canon camera in a local park-lands that have a "very country" inspired look to them as I knew it would be a great backdrop for my outfit and for these blog photos.

In other news I'm back now at work from having a couple of weeks off on leave!

Also I'm on the count down for attending the second annual Rockin Maryborough Festival, which is less than three weeks to go.  This festival will go for the whole weekend in the town I live in.  There will be vintage cars, markets, rock and roll dancing, rockabilly bands, a vintage ball and a pinup pageant. I won the title of Miss Congeniality last year, so I'm not entering this year but I'm looking forward to watching all the other beautiful pinups and having a wonderful weekend!

Until next time!

Feeling Sassy!

This sassy outfit I'm wearing and reviewing for these blog photos is by the UK vintage reproduction brand Banned Apparel 
Though I actually ordered this outfit through one of my favorite Australian boutiques called Gwynnies Emporium
Let me begin this black top, it's made from 95% viscose and 5% elastan, so is very comfortable to wear, especially as it has some stretch to it  Other features is the 3/4 sleeves and the boat-neck style.  I find with this top you can dress it up with a gorgeous skirt and accessories or down with a pair of high-waisted jeans or trousers.

This skirt, I'm usually not a big fan of pencil/wiggle skirts - as I don't like how there is usually not much movement with walking whilst wearing them and they show all your bumps and curves.  But I wanted to give this pencil skirt from Banned Apparel a try!  As I liked the longer length and the green/black/navy blue tartan print.  This skirt is lined, has a back kick pleat (easy for walking) and has a decorative button detail.  Other features is the contrast two front pockets,  it has a back zipper and is made from 100% polyester. I ordered size Large, which feels real comfortable to wear. 
Both the modern love black top and green tartan pencil skirt are currently still available to purchase on Gwynnies website.  The skirt is $49 (Aus) and top $36 (Aus).

Accessories Include:
Flats from Payless Australia
Belt from Pinup Girl Clothing 
Eve Brooch by Deerarrow ordered from Vintage Pip 
Green earrings from Daisy Jean Floral 
Scarf and bangles thrifted

These blog photos were taken a few weeks ago by my friend and follow blogger Vera Gin Vintage. At a historical village in the town of Childers, Queensland   The historical village has some old style wagons, some old buildings e.g. a little cottage, school and a shop and a old train.

 In other news,  I had a lovely time away with family for a couple of days on Fraser Island, my brother married his long time girlfriend - they actually eloped, as they just wanted a small intimate wedding to celebrate with close family members.
Also I only have this week left of my holidays....I'm back to work soon, damn!!

Until next time!

Bamboo Paradise!

This gorgeous dress is called Paradise 50's Dress which is by UK vintage inspired brand Hell Bunny
Which I purchased and had on lay-by for a couple of months through my local pinup/rockabilly boutique called Cherry Tree Lane
 On the Hell Bunny official website, this dress is currently selling for 42.99 pounds ($73 Australian Dollars).  You can find it's listed to purchase on other rockabilly/pinup websites such as Unique Vintage, Atomic Cherry, Retro Glam and on ebay.
This dress ranges from size small to extra large, which is my usual size with Hell Bunny and it fits quite beautifully and feels comfortable to wear.

I adore the print on this dress with the bamboo sticks, the green leaves and the pink, yellow and purple orchids on the cream background. Such a stunning tropical inspired frock!
The material is made from a light 100% polyester (a great dress to wear in summer).  It's a 1950's shirt style dress, with a pleated skirt, that flows from the waist seam. Other features is the cute little wooden style buttons down the center front, has short sleeves, a high back with a back zip to get in and out off.
The length on this dress sits nicely at my knees, also you can wear it with or without a petticoat/crinoline, I choose not to wear a petticoat for these blog photos.

Shoes from Payless Australia
Purple wicker purse from Pinup Girl Clothing
Brooch from Viva La Lux
Pink hair-scarf and orchid hair-flower from ebay stores.
Silver bangles thrifted

In other news my pinup friend Vera Vamp and I attended the annual Greazefest Kustom Kulture Festival. We both were in the pinups on parade on Saturday, with other pinup ladies to show of our own personal pinup/vintage style to the crowd and photographers.
We both attended the festival both Saturday and Sunday. We enjoyed looking at all the market stalls, viewing all the awesome vintage and hot rod cars, and checking out some of the rockabilly bands. 
Looking forward to going again next year!

Jungle Jumpsuit!

A little while ago Swedish based vintage/retro clothing inspired company Emmy Design had a Mid-Summer sale. So I bought this wonderful overalls/jumpsuit to wear.
 I've been wanting to buy from this brand for quite some time, but because their clothing is on the upper price scale, I haven't had the chance to do so, so when this great sale came up, I took the plunge and ordered the Jungle Journey Overalls. I love the navy blue background and the white floral print.
This jumpsuit is so comfortable to wear, it's made from 97% cotton and 3% spandex.  I ordered size 44 from their own sizing, which fits my measurements very well, I just followed their sizing chart to get the right fit for me.
Currently this jumpsuit is listed on Emmy's website for 79.92 pounds or $140 (Australian dollars)

This jumpsuit came with a red braided faux leather belt and has belt lops around the waist on the jumpsuit. To get in and out off, there are cute little navy buttons that go all the way down the front. Also there is a three inch bottom hem, which can be easily lengthened or shorted, depending on your height. So this jumpsuit is great for both short or tall women.
There are two chest pockets, two side seam pockets and two decorative back pockets.  It also has pleats in the front and back and short puffy sleeves with a cuffed hem.
I highly recommend this jumpsuit/overalls as they are very well designed and constructed and so comfortable, yet stylish to wear.

In these blog photos also, is my new handbag from Vendula London which is the shoe box bag, which I bought on "sale" unfortunately both the red/black and pink/black handbags in this exact design are now out of stock.  I love the front of this bag, which resembles a store front, with all styles of shoes to look at in the two front windows.  On the back there is a lady with her shopping bags walking across Abbey Road with her adorable poodle.
This bag is fully lined with exclusive London print fabric, has three separate interior compartments. Two inside zip pockets and one external back zip pocket.  There is a detachable/adjustable shoulder strap. Even when I do adjust the strap it's still quite long, which I was quite surprise by, as I've never had handbag straps that long before.
The dimensions are Height: 21cm  Width:  24.5 cm and Depth: 7.5 cm

Accessories Include:
Shoes from Novo Shoes Australia 
Erstwilder red cat brooch from an ebay seller.
Red cat-eye sunglasses from a rockabilly market stall.
Red hair-flower, earrings and bangles are from numerous accessories boutiques.

These blog photos were taken at a historical village in the town of Childers, Queensland by my friend and follow blogger Vera Gin Vintage.  The historical village has some old style wagons (as in these photos), some old buildings e.g. a little cottage, school and a shop and a old style train.  Vera Gin also took photos of me in another outfit at this same location (which I'll blog about soon, down the track).

In other news there is only a few days left until myself and Vera Vamp go to the annual rockabilly festival in Brisbane, Queensland called Greazefest Kustom Kulture Festival, which runs for a whole weekend, we plan to go both Saturday and Sunday.  Also we are both in the pinups on parade on the Saturday, showing off our own personal pinup/vintage style with other beautiful and stylish pinups ladies.

A beautiful picture of myself and a short story was in my local paper just recently, promoting both my pinup/vintage style and Greazefest.  I believe I'm also going to be in tomorrow's paper as well!  I'm quite excited and happy to be featured in the local paper!
I will let you all know next week how I go regarding this fun weekend at Greazefest!

Until next time!

Bailee Venice!

I received this gorgeous dress a couple of weeks ago from a UK inspired brand Lindy Bop to feature on my blog for a review and to wear!  This dress is called "Bailee" Yellow Venice Border Swing Dress. 
I love the Venice border print, and the yellow/white print.
I love how the wide straps meet towards the middle of the dress to the front bow, I find with this strap style, the straps don't fall down of your shoulders, which can be really annoying if your forever having to fix up your straps on a dress!
The material is 97% cotton, 3% elastane and is fully lined which is 100% cotton.
Such a stunning summer inspired dress!

I ordered size 14 which fits my measurements perfectly. Currently this dress ranges from sizes 6 up to 26 and is currently listed for 38 (British pounds) or $66.53 (Australian dollars).
  Other features to this dress is a box pleat skirt, a removable matching belt, concealed back zip with a hook and eye and has hidden in-seam pockets.
 I also love the length and I wore one of my petticoats (from ebay) underneath for a fuller swing skirt.
If your looking for a vintage inspired dress for spring/summer and for a reasonable price, then Lindy Bop currently have a lot of dresses listed on their website for sale and on "sale" for generous reduced prices!

Accessories Include:
Shoes from Target Australia
Bag is by SunJellies and ordered through Vintage Pip
Yellow hair-flower from Your One Stop Pinup Shop
Bangles from a local clothing & accessories boutique
Sunglasses from a local accessories boutique

These blog photos were taken by my Mum at a lovely place called Bamboo Land which is a nursery and park-lands, and is also used for weddings and family picnics.  There were many beautiful spots for photos, such as bamboo trees, landscape gardens and plants, a river, statues and an old style train on the park-lands.

In other news over the weekend just gone my friend and follow blogger Vera Gin Vintage took photos of each other in two different outfits for future blog reviews!

Also I've been receiving a number of packages over the last week from Mr Postman and today I received a new camera a (Canon EOS 700) to take blog photos etc with, I just have to work out how to use it properly!
I'm going to try and sell my current camera, as it still works quite well.  But I wanted an upgrade for my blog photos.

Until next time!

Pippa Dungarees!

These awesome dungarees are from one of my favorite vintage inspired brands Collectif
As soon as I saw these dungarees come up for "sale" a little while ago and in my size I quickly bought myself a pair!
There dungarees are called Pippa Denim and I'm wearing the black denim ones but currently you can buy these dungarees in the blue denim from Collectif website.

I'm wearing size 14 and they fit me very well, so are true to size and are very comfortable to wear.   These dungarees are made out of 70% cotton, 28% polyester and 2% spandex.  They have front and back pockets, plus a extra pocket on the chest area. Belt lops, a zip and button closure on the side and adjustable shoulder straps, which can be crossed over on the back (which I prefer to do, just for extra comfort). As you can see in the photo below!

Under my dungarees I wore this blue & white stripped top also by Collectif which is called 50s Martina Boat neck T-shirt (unfortunately no longer available on the Collectif website) this top is made out of 95% cotton and 5% spandex and again fits really well on me, I ordered size 14.
I love the blue and white stripes and the boat neck style and I find I can wear this top with both jeans/trousers and skirts.

Accessories Include:
Shoes from Payless Australia
Jelly Handbag from Laurina Jean Retro 
Retro style sunglasses from Colette by Colette Hayman 
Blue hair-scarf and Gumball necklace from Your One Stop Pinup Shop 
Earrings from Gigis Retro Closet 

These blog photos were taken on my own with my tripod, around my local town of Maryborough, Queensland, in front of these great colorful and fun wall mural artworks and in front of a really old and run-down building.

In other news I took more blog photos today with my Mum, on my day off at a really lovely location. This weekend I plan to meet up with Miss Vera Gin to take more blog photos!  So keep your eyes peeled for wonderful up-coming vintage inspired outfit blog photos.

Also I'm in the Pinups on Parade in a couple of weeks time at Greazefest rockabilly festival in Brisbane, Queensland. So I'm really excited about this!

Until next time!
