Garden Pathway!

Hi everyone!

How's your week been so far?

I've just been working, I'm a activity officer in a aged care facility. Today I came home not feeling well, I came home and had a good rest.  It's been quite cold this week in Sunny Queensland, it is suppose to be winter after all!

 I've also been trying to sell some of my vintage inspired clothing that doesn't fit and I don't wear anymore.  I've actually sold some of my clothing and I've been to the post office to post them of to their new owners.

What are you're plans for this coming weekend?

I'm not 100% sure what I'll be doing yet, I know my husband and I have to clean up out unit though, with the usual of cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, washing the floors and just a general tidy up.  We're planning on having family over for lunch on Sunday.

This week I'm featuring this gorgeous dress by Australian vintage inspired company called Retrospec'd

Retrospec'd is one on my favourite vintage inspired clothing companies, I own a few of their dresses and I adore them all! 

This dress is called "Belinda" and is the "Flower market" print.  I just adore this print and all the colours  in this dress you could possibly accessorize with, I decided on this day I would accessorize with my favourite colour - red. 

Sizing ranges from size 6 up to size 18, there is currently still some sizes to choose from in this exact same dress.  Just follow the size chart for your best fit.  I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits really well around my waist, it's just a little bit big under the bust area. 

The fabric is made out of a cotton stretch sateen and has a back zip to get in and out of.  This dress features a scoop front neckline and short sleeves.  The skirt has double box pleats, their is room to put a petticoat underneath but I choose not to wear one for these photos.  This dress also has hidden pockets!!

There are other dress styles in this exact same print from the Retrospec'd website. 

Accessories Include:

Red Boater Hat from Morgan & Taylor

Red belt from another outfit

Red Handbag from Pinup Girl Clothing

Red Sandals by Bettie Page Shoes and ordered through Nicole Jade Boutique

Bangles and Earrings from Splendette

These photos we're taken by my loving husband Graham at a local park in Maryborough, Queensland. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you're plans are and take care!

Until next time!

Into the Jungle!

Hi everyone!

I've decided to get back into my vintage inspired fashion blogging, after taking another long break from my blog!

Much has happened since my last blog post, way back in August 2019.  I got married back in August to my darling husband Graham, we both had such a lovely wedding and reception.  A few days later we went on our honeymoon trip up North of Queensland, we went away for a few weeks, the both of us had such a wonderful time - seeing all the sights, catching up with some friends and with some of Graham's family members.
We have also had to move homes a couple of times, in a matter of six months.  Then Bam - Covid19 happened! This meant not being able to go to any rockabilly/pinup car events, family events or even just go for a simple drive somewhere out of town.  
I still have been dressing up in my vintage inspired clothing, whenever I can, usually on weekends and when I'm on leave from work.  My wonderful husband takes my photos for me when I'm dress-up in my outfits.  I share some of these photos on my instagram profile miss_millacherry and on my facebook page Missmillacherry.  Please follow me if you're not already.

For this week's blog post I just have to share with you this amazing jumpsuit by UK brand Vivien of Holloway
I ordered this jumpsuit a few weeks into Convid19 crisis from Vivien of Holloway website, this was the longest wait ever that I have waited for a parcel to arrive!  Anyway 10 weeks later it finally arrived from the UK to where I live in Queensland, Australia.  I really thought this awesome jumpsuit was loss forever!

 I haven't really been a big fan of "animal" print fabrics over the years but this leopard print jumpsuit  looked like so much fun to wear and totally out of my usual vintage/pinup inspired style, I just had to purchase it!
This romper jumpsuit is so comfortable, yet stylish to wear.  I just love the elasticated waist and the zip down the front to get in and out of.
The romper has pockets and the sleeves fit well on my arms - I don't like tight sleeves!
It's made out of 100% cotton, has turned up pant cuffs and has a shirt style collar.

 I ordered a size 22 in Vivien of Holloway's own size and this jumpsuit fits well on me, and is very comfortable to wear throughout the day.  Just follow your own measurements on the size guide section of the website for your own best fit. 
 There are still some sizes left to choose from in this same romper jumpsuit.  There are a couple of other print rompers to choose from, they are though a bit more expensive to purchase.
I decided to accessorize with red,  I think black, pink or even yellow would look great with this leopard print romper.

Accessories Include:
Red beret from ebay Australia
Tiger brooch from Erstwilder 
Red belt from another outfit
Earrings and bangles from Splendette
Red Sandals by Bettie Page Shoes and ordered through Nichole Jade Boutique

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, whatever you may be doing!
I don't have many plans for this weekend, just boring grocery shopping and I'll probably go and visit my Mum and sister.

Until next time!

For this blog post I'm featuring these two floral dresses by UK vintage inspired company Lady V London
This company sells dresses, petticoats and girls dresses for more affordable prices.
All garments are made in London to the highest quality.  Sizes range from 8 up to 22.

The first dress I'm reviewing is this gorgeous sarong-style floral dress.  It's called The Elsie Dress. This particular floral pattern is now sold out on the Lady V London website, but there are many other gorgeous fabric pattern's to choose from. I actually purchased this dress from an Australian company called That Shop I believe it's sold out on there as well.
I love the fabric on this dress, it's so comfortable to wear. It's made from 95% polyester and 5% elastine.  I'm wearing a size 16 and it's fits like a glove on me.

 Some great features to this dress is the draping on the side, the wrap around style and the V-neckline. It has a back zipper to get in and out of.  I also love the length of this dress, the capped sleeves and the floral print.
This dress is such a flattering style to wear.

The next gorgeous dress I'm reviewing is the Eva Dress in Mustard Floral. This exact dress is available to purchase in all sizes, as it has been re-stocked! Yay!!
I just love this floral print on the mustard background.  These colours are just so pretty and very eye-catching. That's why I ended up purchasing this dress for myself!

This dress is made of 95% polyester and 5% elastine, and again very comfortable to wear throughout the day.  I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits so well on.
This dress features pleat details at the shoulders and on the skirt.  It has short capped sleeves, a crossover neckline and a fitted bodice.  This dress actually doesn't have any zips, you just pull-over your head and away you go!
One of the best features for both dresses, because of the polyester fabric is that they both don't need any ironing at all!

 Love Ur Look clothing is made using ethically-sourced and up-cycled materials.  This company sells some really fun kitschy prints.

The first dress I'm reviewing is the Mexicana Black Julie Dress.  It's inspired by Frida Kahlo. This dress ranges from sizes small to 5XL.  It's made from 100% cotton and 100% cotton lining.
I just love the Mexican inspired print and the colours on the black background.  It's such a comfortable dress to wear throughout the day.

This dress has a concealed back zip and hidden pockets.  It's an A-line shape and it sits below the knees.
I love the colored stripes around the waist, collar and sleeves.  A great feature to this dress is that it comes with three different belts to choose from to wear.

Boots borrowed by my loving partner

The second dress I'm reviewing is called Check Cactus Shoulder Dress.  This dress is nearly sold out on the Love Ur Look website, with only one small size still remaining.  It's made out of 100% cotton, it's great to wear on a hot-summer day, because of the light, flowley material.

I love the black and white gingham print and the embroidered cactus around the top of the dress.  Other great features is the elasticated waist and the off shoulder design. I also love the frill around the neckline and the short sleeves under the frill.  I highly recommend on ordering yourself something from Love Ur Look

British Retro!

Hi all!
For this blog post, I'm featuring these two gorgeous dresses by UK vintage inspired company British Retro
This company sells dresses, skirts, shorts, petticoats, t-shirts, coats and accessories.  All of their garments are made in London, UK.

The first dress I'm reviewing is the Dee Dee Royal Stewart Tartan Vintage 50's Full Circle Dress.
It's made out of a 67% polyester, 29% viscose and 4% elastane. So it does have some stretch to it.  Sizes range from 8 to 18, I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits perfectly on me and is very comfortable to wear throughout the day.
I just love the tartan print and that it comes with a matching tartan belt, it can be worn without a belt as there are actually no loops on this dress. I personally prefer to wear a belt with dresses, as it clenches in the waist and gives the dress more shape and structure.

Other great features is the of the shoulder, angled short sleeves and the Bardot-style neckline.  There is a concealed zip down the back to get in and out of.  The bodice is satin lined inside and I love the full-ness of the skirt, this is great to wear a fluffy petticoat underneath. 
I decided to purchase this dress, as I have never actually owned a tartan vintage inspired dress and I just adored the look and style of this one!

Accessories Include:
Hat is thrifted
Earrings by Revere folie
Necklace is by Collectif
Brooch by Louella Deville
Bangles by Splendette
Heels by Bait Footwear

 The second dress I'm reviewing by British Retro is this stunning wiggle dress, it is called Rhonda's Revenge Fern Satin Jacquard Pencil Dress.
 It's made from 51% cotton, 46% polyester, 3% spandex.  Sizes range from 8 to 18, there is only a couple of sizes left though as this dress is currently on sale for a really great price.  I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits like a glove on me.

 

I only own a handful of wiggle/pencil style dress due to the fact they do show off all your curves, bumps and lumps, more so then swing dresses do.  Saying that I just love how elegant and sexy you can feel and look in wearing a wiggle dress!  That's why I decided to purchase this wiggle dress and I also adore the Fern green colour and the same colour floral print.  I didn't want to wear all green though for this photoshoot, that's why I decided to accessorize with pink, as pink and green do work well together!

Other great features of this dress is the vent at the back of the skirt to allow for easier walking and the Bardot style neckline and angled short sleeves, the same as in the above tartan dress by British Retro.

It also has a concealed zip at the back and the bodice is satin lined. I highly recommend on ordering yourself something beautiful, from British Retro!

 Accessories Include:

Dusty Pink Hat is from Unique Vintage

Bangles and Earrings by Splendette

Hair-flower by Gigis Retro Closet (currently changing business name) 

Brooch by Erstwilder

Seamed stockings by What Katie Did

Heels from Bait Footwear

 These photos of myself in the tartan dress was taken at a local primary school in Maryborough, Queensland.  The second photos of myself in the green wiggle dress we're taken at a friends home with their beautiful 1947 Buik vintage car.  I'm ever so thankful they allowed me to take photos with their car  and at their beautiful Queenslander home for my blog!

Photos we're shoot by my supportive husband-to-be. :)

For my next blog post I'll be featuring two dresses by another UK vintage inspired clothing company Love ur Look UK

Until next time!

Gigi's Fairy Fashion!

Hi all!
For this week's blog post I'm featuring these two beautiful dress by an Australian vintage inspired clothing company Gigi's Fairy Fashion
These are actually my first two dresses that I've owned by this company, I've been eyeing of their dresses for a couple of years and finally got around to purchasing a couple for myself!
This company is based in Sydney, Australia and are a family run business.  The company started out in 1996 and offer gorgeous vintage style, rockabilly, race wear and wedding dresses/outfits and accessories. They only use high quality fabrics in their creations!

The first gorgeous dress I'm reviewing, is called Charlotte Pink Maddison Cut.  The fabric is a cotton sateen.  There are only a couple of sizes left in this exact dress and it's currently on sale for a really great price. I'm wearing a size 14/16 and it fits well on me, it may be a little tight in the waist area but still wearable throughout the day.
Note: each style of dress has different measurements, so you really need to follow the size chart on the Gigi's Fairy Fashion website. Always feel free to message the company to find out the right size for you, if you're not 100% sure.

I just love the floral print on the light pink background and the pleated skirt.  It also has capped sleeves and pleats across the bust-line, plus hidden pockets!
My favorite feature is the stunning cut-out back.  You can wear this dress without a bra or with a backless bra.  I personally wore a backless bra with this dress.

 Accessories Include
Hat from a local boutique
Sunglasses by Voodoo Vixen
Bangles from Louella Deville Boutique
Sandals from Bait Footwear
Ladies vintage style bike by Malvern Star

The second dress by Gigi's Fairy Fashion is called Black Reagan Pleated Sun Dress.  There is still a couple of sizes left in this dress, and it's also on sale for a really great price. 
I'm wearing a size 12/14 and it fits perfectly on me.  The fabric is a stretch cotton sateen and is finished with a shine coating.  I just love this floral print with the pinks and purples on the black background.

 This dress has a heart-shaped neckline with shoulder straps (I wish the straps we're adjustable), so they don't have that feeling they could slip of my shoulders.  It also has a hidden back-zip to get in and out of and a pleated swing skirt.
It's a wonderful dress to wear in the summer months or with a cardigan if the weather is a little cooler.
Hopefully when the weather gets warmer here again in Queensland I can have more of an opportunity to wear these two beautiful dresses!

Accessories Include:
Hair-flower by Daisy Jean Floral
Earrings an bangles by Splendette
Sunglasses by Voodoo Vixen
Necklace from Susan Jane Jewellery
Sandals from Big W

These photos we're taken by my loving partner at our own home in Maryborough, Queensland and at the Hervey Bay Botanical gardens.

Next time on my blog I'll be featuring two dresses by U.K vintage inspired company British Retro

Until next time!
