Gingham and vintage sweaters

I have to say, the Mia skirt is the best skirt I have ever owned. It is so flattering and made of beautiful material. I own it in the navy gingham and sea shell print. This is going to be my go to summer skirt. It is made of a lovely light fabric. It comes with a matching belt which clinches in your waist. Oh, it also has POCKETS! If a skirt/dress has pockets, it is instantly amazing. I matched it with this vintage blue sweater.
Because the fabric is a bit of stretch to it, it means that the skirt is so comfortable to wear. I ordered a size 12 and it fits perfectly. It runs true to the size chart.

Collectif Clothing Freddie Knitted Top Review

I'm back, finally. After weeks of terrible weather, meaning I couldn't do any outfit posts outside, and migraines almost ever weekend, I am now back posting. This weekend was the best weather we have had in about a month. So glad it's almost spring (i'm counting down the days). 

Last month (or so) Collectif did a 50% off everything sale. Due to the NZD being so bad at the moment, I couldn't really afford to buy very much, but I did pick up a few things I had been eyeing up. Over the next few weeks I will be featuring the rest of the items. 

I got a lovely little Freddie Knitted top in Ivory. In a way it was a bad idea as now I want it in every color (it's basically made in every coloured you'd ever want!) The Freddie top is a lovely stretchy soft material, so it runs true to size. I ordered mine in a size 12, and it fits perfectly. This top is going to be a staple spring/summer piece as it goes with everything.

It has adorable little pearl buttons in the front , and cute little peter pan collar.  The floral design on the top is really lovely. This is a top that every pin up/vintage lover needs.

Have a great week everyone!

I do love a good Cockatoo

This weeks posts are all about brooches apparently. You all know my collection of Erstwilder brooches is growing. My latest little friend to join the gang is Carnaboo the Cockatoo. Erstwilder never fails so amaze me. He is a such beautiful boy. He has a lovely little yellow feather mohawk which makes him look like a little badass. I can't even describe how pretty the material that he is made out of is. I couldn't get any close up photos of him that gave him any justice. You really have to see him in person to appreciate his beauty.

How good does my Pinup Couture Havana dress look turned into a skirt. It was inspired by fellow New Zealand Pinup the lovely Miss Victory Violet. Im going to have to try it will some more of my dresses. I thought this Havana matched really well with this brooch due to the hint of yellow in the skirt.

I thought about apologizing for some of the mess in my room but then I realized it doesn't really matter as this is how it is, and i'm sure most peoples bedrooms are not perfect everyday!

This photo set also made me realize i need to organize my scarf collection.

Cherry goodness with a hint of sparkle

Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. I apologize for the lack of post lately. I just have not had the energy. I couldn't shoot any outfits last weekend due to a terrible 3 day migraine. But i'm back with a very exciting post. 

3 weeks ago I ordered my first ever Luxulite brooch. I finally decided that it was about time. I oohed and aahed over the Etsy site but decided I wanted to start my Luxulite collection off with one of their classic cherry style brooch. But she didn't have any listed that day, then i remembered the Australian site Coconette Oz had one on their site. It worked out good because the NZD is really bad at the moment so buying from the UK is very expensive. So I saved a bit of coin buying from an Australian site.

 Boy was I impressed. It just so pretty. The silver sparkles with the red cherries works so well. Although the cherries remind me of red currents, as on this style the the cherries are not solid. It matches so great with all my red and green clothes. I can't wait for Christmas, as I will probably wear it everyday haha. 

I now see why everyone is so obsessed with her pieces, they really are absolutely beautiful. I am beyond glad I finally own a Luxulite piece although I don't think my bank account will be so thrilled

What do you guys think of my new prescription cat eye glasses? Im thinking I may do a review of the glasses / the site I ordered them from.

Peachy Kisses - Pinup Girl Clothing Mary Blair Lips & Roses Jenny Skirt

I feel like every weekend is spent taking photos for the blog, I love doing it though. I have been so excited to shoot this outfit. I am in love with this skirt, I am so happy I got to own a piece from the Mary Blair collection. I do hope I can snap up a few more pieces before they are gone forever.

 I have never owned anything like this before, but as soon as I saw it I knew that was the piece I must own. I did find the particular skirt to be quite long compared to other Jenny skirts i own. I ordered the skirt in a XL. According to the size chart I am a Large, but my Orange Border Print Jenny skirt in L is a bit too small so I sized up. When the skirt arrived it was far too big, but that wasn't a problem as I have an awesome local seamstress who made it fit perfectly. I always prefer a skirt to be too big than too small.

The print of this skirt is beyond amazing. It makes me so happy looking at all the cute little things on it. It has so many colours in the print which means it will match perfectly with so many colored tops, I choose to go with the obvious choice of a pink cardigan. I matched it with my cute little Erstwilder Flying Pig brooch. He's so beautiful (just like all her creations).
