Update from the clumsy one!

Hi Guys!

I'm sure you've noticed that I've not written an outfit post since late last month so I just wanted to give you guys a quick explanation.

At the end of Feb I slipped at home and hurt my left knee. This left me on crutches for a few weeks and then very limpy for the rest of the time. I've improved heaps since then but I only started shooting last week as heels are a big no no for me currently.

But last week I got to shoot heaps of garments in one of my favorite locations - LuWOW and I will have two outfit posts jam packed with new pinup garments from Hell Bunny and Sourpuss Clothing!

As of next week on the 21st I will be heading to LA and having a small holiday with my best friend to celebrate my 30th! We are heading to Viva Las Vegas as well so you guys will be getting all my updates and sneak peaks as I attend the festival, shoot and play!

I will be writing a post or two prior to leaving showing you some of my sponsored outfits that I will be taking abroad with me so keep an eye out!

Thank you for being so patient with me during this injury and I will be back in action in not time!

Also while you are here please check out Killer Kurves brilliant Kurves Illistrated blog post where you will
find both myself and some of the most inspiration plus size women in the blog world!

Hell Bunny 2013 Review!

$

The time has come once again for me to slip into a few newer styles from Hell Bunny and tell you my lovely readers about the different shapes, fits and fabrics. 

In the last 6 to 12 months I've noticed a lot more coming out from HB. More shapes, styles and prints. With this variety I thought it was a great time to try on a few new garments and give you the low down. 

To find multiple online shops to purchase these items from other than the links listed please click on the following links for all my previous Hell Bunny posts : Hell Bunny Feature, Tiki Time  and Polka Dots, Monsters and Sailors Oh My! 

I'm wearing all items in a size XL. 


Rosalie Dress - £39.99

A mixture of old and new, pinup and modern styling all rolled into one. This oriental inspired wiggle dress is the bees knees! The fabric lush and sturdy, holding you in and making your curves pop. 



The fit is very tight in the XL as you can see it's almost like it's painted onto my curves. I love the fit around my hips and waist but with the peekaboo bust it seems to be a little too snug for my GG cup bust.

I paired this with the perfectly complimentary orange Wide Eyed pumps the always brilliant Luchiny and I think they work wonderfully with this pattern.


I do adore this fabric and hope that many more styles and separates are made from this or even a few different colour ways. I would own them all! 



An adorable high waisted ruffled pencil skirt that every pinup/retro girl needs in her closet! This style is made from a very stretchy rayon, nylon spandex blend an due to the movement in the fabric I highly suggest you size down. I found the XL in this style really, really roomy around the waist and bottom but I fixed this with a very thick waist belt. I will have to have this style taken in for future wear. 

The ruffle detail both the front and the back of this garment is to die for!  Pairing this black and white outfit with one of my favorite styles from Luichiny the Vanessa. It's a peep toe version of the Eye Doll and I'm swooning for this style. 


Belt - My own

Continuing on with the same fabric the Pauline dress is a super cute mini pencil dress with a pleated bow bust and capped sleeves. The fabric again is very stretchy but for this style I'd opt more to get it slightly taken in around the waist and hips apposed to sizing down ad the bust is perfect. 


This style slightly shows your bra but I actually like the hint of colour peeking through. I'm wearing my own belt as the Pauline dress comes with a thin waist belt but I like the thicker styles myself.

I've been wearing this heaps over summer with flats, cowboy boots and heels! It can go from day to night with ease.


A close up of my Poison Necklace from Debstar Designs. I'm head over heels for this little pedant! So cute! 


Shirley Dress - £35.99
Belt - My own 

Then lastly one of the most adorable prints I've stumbled across in recent years. Anchors, palm trees and stars combine together to create the adorable Shirley Mini Dress. This is the dress you will want to live in on those super hot summer days.


The fabric is flows and just glides over your skin, it's weightless and really lovely to wear. The little cap sleeves are great if your like me and you like to hide a little of your arms ever now and then. I paired this with a bright patent red belt and I think the combination works perfectly!


The bust was a little tight fitting at first but with the right bra and a little movement this now fits like a dream. I will be packing this in my 'Vegas' bag for sure!

If you want to find a local supplier for any of these items either google the product name or even ask Hell Bunny directly on their facebook fan page.


What's better than one anchor? Two!! I've been wearing this necklace with my 'Smitten' name necklace a lot recently. 

So remember all items are in and XL and if you need any further help just leave me a comment bellow. Many thanks to the awesome dream team over at Robin Elk Photography  for working with me on this an a few other posts. It's always a pleasure to make magic with you guys. 

Also a huge thank you to the brilliant people at The LuWOW  who let me shoots once again in their amazing venue. If you live in Melbourne or visit Melbourne you must get to LuWOW at 62-70 Johnston Street Fitzroy. This venue is not only amazing visually but they have brilliant shows, epic cocktails and the loveliest staff.






A sole choice

Since I did a number on my knee I've been looking all over the internet for more 'Teer can't walk in those crazy high heels right now' shoe and I've come across some rocking styles. I'm getting better so expect those 6 inch heels back shortly!

I know many of my readers have wider feet so I wanted to share a few funky styles I've recently found from Clarks in the UK along with a few standard styles for my standard width girls.


Carousel Ride - £34.99

I'm loving this leopard print ballet flat as right now flats are my daytime friends. These with my favorite skinny jeans are purrfect match. 



Concert Ticket - £54.99

Classic black Mary Jane style high heel with a very vintage feel. I love the cut out detail and the suede fabric. These will pair with absolutely everything in my wardrobe. 




Scent Flower - £44.99

A bright colour blocking wedge will make any outfit pop that little bit more. From summer dresses to just jeans and a tank top these wedges are super easy to style. 


Smoke Screen - £49.99

Oh how I adore studs! Stud everything and I will be over the moon! Loving the cut out wedge detail and these would be the perfect style shoe for me to walk in right now. 



Scent Eley- £79.99

How funky is this print? So bright and geometric I adore it. I would pair these with my favorite blue jeans and either a yellow or blue peplum top.




Va Va Voom!

I am forever on the look out for the perfect pencil and boobie top. I'm a big hipped, big busted girl who is not afraid to show what I was blessed with and I love finding amazing garments to share with you guys.

This post is a mixture of both Sourpuss Clothing and GetWaisted items and I will be providing links to both.

First I have to start with my new favorite top :

 photo _MG_3736_zps27e291d1.jpg

Sourpuss Va Va Voom Skirt Black & White Polkadot Top - 39.90€
 (currently the only place I can find all sizes and colours of this top)
Sourpuss Through The Heart Skirt - $40.00
Iron Fist

Now I was sent two of the Va Va Voom tops and this specific style is an XL. The fabric is soft silky and a dream to wear. The design also makes your bust look BRILLIANT! This is THE boobie top. I would rather this was a size large as it's a little loose but I still adore it more than any other top in my wardrobe. From the small cap sleeve to the gathered bust it is really the most amazing top. 

Paired perfectly with the Through The Heart skirt. This high waisted stretch pencil skirt (worn here in the XL) is a short and sexy little number. I'm a huge fan of the high waisted skirt but until this style I'd never contemplated the front split. This is a perfect fit and really hugs my curves but the outer edge of the split  does tend to pop out a little. I'm not bothered at all by this as the fabric show beneath is an adorable matching polka dot. The split ads a little more sexy to the style in my opinion.

 photo _MG_3715_zps2fc7c0fc.jpg

I showed sneak peaks of both this top and the other colour way on Instagram and I have never had so many compliments! It is honestly the best top for my body shape and I think Sourpuss really need to create more prints, more plain colours and even sleeved options of this top.

I'm also wearing my Debstar Design Tiki necklace with this outfit which matches perfectly with the location.


Tiki Necklace - $25.00

 photo _MG_3665_zpsafd10550.jpg

Sourpuss Va Va Voom Top in Black - 39.90€
Get Waisted I Heart Marvel Skirt - $50.99

My second favorite of the Va Va Voom tops as everyone needs a plain black brilliant top. This style is the perfect fit in a Large. If you can't tell by the previous few paragraph's I'm totally smitten for these tops! 

Paired with my new favorite pencil skirt created by the awesomely talented Get Waisted! I'm a huge Marvel fan and have this print on everything from my knickers to my pjs. So when I saw this hip hugging Marvel skirt it had to be mine. The design is simple yet so awesome. Made from a super stretchy fabric (I ordered the Large) it has an elastic waist which I chose to hide beneath one of my favorite waist belts.

 photo _MG_3675_zps1154d45b.jpg

It's bright, figure hugging and holds in your tummy. This skirt will make you stand out for all the right reasons and is definitely a conversation starter. This skirt is for the very brave as it is super skin tight and really emphasizes your shape. I feel like a million dollars in this outfit! 

What better to pair this bright superhero filled skirt with than the always perfect VAN ESSA Pump from Luichiny in Cobalt Blue - $89.95. This style is my stand out favorite from Luichiny. From the huge high heel, the really comfortable platform and the adorable bow peep toe combo it really is the my ultimate shoe. I will one day own every colour and style from Luichiny, they are the BEST in footwear in my mind. 

Many thanks to my amazing photographers at http://www.robinelk.com/ these two brilliant people just rock my socks off and I always adore working with them. 

Also a huge thank you to the brilliant people at The LuWOW  who let me shoots once again in their amazing venue. If you live in Melbourne or visit Melbourne you must get to LuWOW at 62-70 Johnston Street Fitzroy. This venue is not only amazing visually but they have brilliant shows, epic cocktails and the loveliest staff. Plus they have a dinosaur - how cool is that!!! I might have hugged him like crazy after these shots were snapped.

A little Viva

Now while I'm setting up shoots, organizing lots of awesome new stuff and waiting on my photos from my US trip I just wanted to do a really small post showing you just a hint of what I wore at Viva Las Vegas.

I was lucky enough to have the brilliant Stop Staring Clothing sponsor me for the even and I got to wear 3 of their amazing garments. I've shown 1 dress bellow but I will be shooting the rose dress and two other HOT styles in the studio over the next 3 weeks giving you the full run down of fit, sizes and fabric!

But for now I hope you like my little sneak peak, hotel hopping, mirror selfies!



Before the even was in full swing we headed out to the first night of shopping, pre meet ups and the PUG party. This was my go to dress for such a busy evening. The perfect skin tight little black wiggle dress. I will be shooting and reviewing this in the hounds-tooth shortly as they are my instant favorites! 



An adorable gingham tie up top (my new obsession) was picked up on the Thursday evening at My Baby Jo's huge stall in the New Orleans. This was my daytime outfit and was so comfy, easy to wear all day and terribly cute! I wish I had of picked up all of the colours. 

The skirt is my classic pencil skirt from Wheels & Dollbaby and the belt just one of my many. 



For the Friday I wore this stunning rose print wiggle dress. The soft fabric really hugs you firmly and the shape is classic, feminine and a dream to wear. With the simply addition of my red sheer head scarf tied in a bow this outfit was a hit!



The for the Car Show I chose to go for another item I picket up on my earlier shopping trip and do a little greaser chic look! This jumpsuit is amazing!!! So comfortable, so cute, easy to style and wear - as you can see I just added a neck scarf and a waist belt and I was ready to rock! I'm wearing this in an XL.

I'm already looking forward to wearing this with tights in winter and layering it to work as a non pinup style.  As it's rather short I opted for some nude fishnets with back seams to give my legs a little more pop! This style also comes in red, leopard and a denim like blue.

I had an absolute ball at Viva this year. I was great to finally meet so many of my contacts from the scene, shoot with brilliant photographers and meet some amazing new people.

I've always been a fan of bargain shopping and getting a great deal. So each season I look afar to the other side of the globe and hunt for the best prices on the previous seasons styles.

Being in Australia and having the opposite seasons we have the ability to nab some amazing goodies with price tags slashed! We can even get the latest fashions in advance prior to them hitting Australia shore at a fraction of the the price.

But currently I'm on the look out for winter warmers, great jackets and all the essential items that I need to add to my winter wardrobe. My bargain deal destination - ASOS! They have an up to 70% off section so you will find so many awesome deals!

Here are a few good deals I've stumbled across that go instantly into my cart!

Cara Delevingne: the world's new top model?

$

It seems that we don’t need another TV search this year for Britain’s next top model, as Vogue magazine agrees that we already have one!

 Vogue named British born Cara Delevingne as the star face of 2012/2013 and compiled an online style file collating some glamorous snapshots to prove why. Her bleached blonde locks, slight frame and heavy eyebrows have won her campaigns for Burberry, Chanel and DKNY, and her way into the hearts of the UK's fashion elite. She's everywhere at the moment and even had a small acting role in the film Anna Karenina - she literally shone at the red carpet premiere in a metallic Burberry dress.

There is a certain degree of envy (especially when the Burberry campaign had her draped around new favourite Eddie Redmayne) but you can’t help but like her. She isn’t aloof like some top supermodels and echoes that Kate Moss “one of us” quality. In fact, take a look at the festival shoot in Vogue’s online gallery and all you’d need to do is add some rain and a pair of Wellington boots and you can imagine a young Kate at Glastonbury!

The 2012 British Fashion Awards Model of the Year has put her fresh stamp on the tomboy-chic look. Her statement eyebrows have become known as a ‘power brow’ and were the talk of London Fashion Week. To emulate her modern red carpet look, you just need the ‘brows’ and one of the fab going out dresses from Very.co.uk.

Delevingne’s laid-back off-duty style makes her accessible and likeable - and the fact that she was seen munching an enormous pretzel at the recent DKNY shoot in New York makes us love her even more. Constantly posting pictures on Instagram and Tumblr, Delevingne likes to share her thoughts with her fans and give us an insight into the exciting - yet pretty down-to-earth - world she inhabits.

Should a supermodel be this accessible? Doesn't a true supermodel need that statuesque, steely glare to create intrigue? Well, Delevingne has proven she can pout with the best but it seems it’s her own style that allows her to claim her position as the world’s new top model. And you can’t raise an eyebrow to that!



New Stock! New Shoot with Pinup Boutique

Just a short post to show you some of the new stock available right now at Pinup Boutique.

Last week I jumped on the train and spent few hours modeling, chatting and having a ball as per usual with the lovely owner of this brilliant online store. So here is what I loved the most from the current new stock, you will find even more online right now. 


My stand out favorite! This is the perfect sexy secretary look in my mind all I need is some black cats-eye spectacles and I'd be set! I loved this top so much I bought it at the shoot.

I'm wearing the both the top and the skirt in an XL and both fit like a dream. With a little stretch to both of the fabrics these two items are a joy to wear and won't loose their shape. The Lace pencil skirt is a must have for your collection as well. The lace just adds that extra va va voom to the figure hugging skirt. 



So since I've been working with Pinup Boutique I've become a big fan of halterneck swing dresses. I never thought that would be happen but I'm glad it did!

I'm actually wearing this style in a Medium a the XL and Large were very loose and I felt this gave me the best shape and support. The fabric is amazing and the swing skirt fit is so comfortable.

Well I don't always feel so perfect but a super cute wiggle dress helps. This is a XL and the fit is spot on. I love the white piping and buttons. This is very much the ultimate boobie dress which means it's added to the list of Teer dresses as boobs are my thing. This dress is worth every penny and the nautical accessories that you can pair with this - perfection! 

I wish it was spring already so I could picnic in this adorable frock! Another halter swing style that I adore!

The piping, buttons and pockets on this style make me swoon. The fit is perfect in the Large and I even felt very supported in the bust as I'm only wearing a strapless. This is definitely going on my lust list.

This is just a small taste for what you can find at Pinup Boutique so check out their New Arrivals and other goodies asap.




Stop Staring!

Last month I showed a little sneak peak of my Viva outfits and gave you guys an oh so tiny hint of what I wore at the festival. Now I've settled back at home I had the chance to pop into the studio with Aaron Widyanto and shoot the amazing dresses from Stop Starring that I wore over that event weekend. 

I wear an XL(12) in most of the dresses from Stop Starring and I've never had any fit issues. They are always perfect for my curves and fit like a glove.

My shoes are from Luichiny and you can get multiple colours of this specific style the EYE DOLL directly from their on line store and other great re-sellers. 



I knew the moment I laid eyes on this Board Walk dress that it would be perfect for my shape. It's the same shape as Success Dress which I own and wear to death so I had to get this print on my body asap.

The fabric is super soft and stretchy and molds to your bodies natural curves. The fabric may even be more stretchy than the as it's a poly rayon blend. 

The little gather details on the waist help define your curves more so and I added my own belt (this style actually comes with a thin patent black belt) as I like a thinker band around my waistline. 



Although I loved the cap sleeves on this dress I added my favorite bolero to break up the pattern and make it a very 'Me' look. I really love my shape in this style dress and hope that Stop Starring produce more in this style over the years as it's a stunning design.  



Next we have the show stopping Darling dress made from their famous millennium fabric. This dress is that one style you hunt for for a special event. 

From the fabric to the fit, the fish-tale back to the chiffon ruffle bottom and bust. This dress will makes you feel like a bombshell without showing anything so it's perfect for events where lots of cleavage might be inappropriate. 



I was a little unsure to begin with how this style would look on my body shape but after simply trying it on I can say it is PERFECTION! This style also comes in black if red the colour you are after. I wore the chiffon belt in the front but it can also be worn in a bow at the back.

This style is super stretchy and tight so girls you will need your best shapewear with this frock! 


Tori Dress - $158.00

Then lastly the Tori Dress. A very different choice for me fabric wise (stretch cotton sateen) and and a print that I usually don't tend to lean towards - Roses. But this dress in the flesh is stunning. The delicate print really pops and from far away most people mistake it for cherries it seems. 

The fit is a little different from the previous two dresses as it does not offer as much stretch as the other garments but it does hug and hold you in so very well. 


This style can be layered like crazy or worn on it's own for any formal event. I love the idea of layering a really stunning cardigan on top and a thick waist belt with this style. Making one dress work in multiple ways. 

This dress does turn heads and I think it's mainly for the fit. Stop Staring dresses always fit my body perfectly and give me confidence in my body shape. When I look good I feel good and all of these dresses make me feel amazing.

Thank you so much to Stop Staring for sponsoring me during my trip to Viva Las Vegas it was an absolute pleasure to wear your garments at this brilliant event. I'm looking very forward to our next collaboration.


Also many thanks to Aaron Widyanto for working with me on these images and many more to come! I can't wait to work with you again very soon.





Lucipurr

I have a huge t'shirt collection believe it or not and I swear every 2nd week I'm adding to it. My latest find and purchase is the brilliant Lucipurr Tee from BlackCraft available at Beserk



Loving this cheeky and rocking print from BlackCraft! The print features both the product name and the label with a massive cat face - featuring a upside down cross on the forehead. I am wearing this style in a Large as I find with most female fit tee's this size fits me best. 

I've been wearing this tee like crazy! Pairing it with disco pants as shown or my high waist jeans. I'd love to tuck this into a perfect black high was skirt as well. 

So now that I know my size I think it's time to get a few more prints as they are such a brilliant price. You can find the whole range here

Many thanks  Aaron Widyanto for shooting this and one other set of images I will be posting next week featuring the worlds best jacket! 













Hopeless Lingerie

Many moons ago I found Hopeless Lingerie through the amazing Paula Delley and I've keep my eye on the company ever since.



From the perfect construction of the garments to the unique style, the inspiration drawn from b grade horror, old films and all the things I love. I've always had a soft spot for Hopeless.

For the last two years I've been swooning more and more as Gabrielle (the designer) releases her new look books. The team creates visual stories that show direct inspiration from films like Evil Dead. Now with the latest SS13 set I get the a Creature from the Black Lagoon vibe.

It's this coupled with the fabrics and outstanding designs that make Hopeless Lingerie stand out of the crowd. The designer behind this brand knows curves well and creates shapes that suit both hour glass and buxom shapes. I myself only one amazing pair of Freddy Kruger knickers from a limited run products a while back. They are amazing!

Here are a few of my favorites from the current look book.












Photographer - Steph Cammarano 

Model Lulu Wagstaffe always brings the most unique beauty to each of these shoots and a body to die for. I've followed Lulu's work since discovering Hopeless and I absolutely adore everything about her.

You can find each item shown in this post online right now at the Hopeless Lingerie Etsy Store. You can also find and follow all new updates on Facebook.



The Dita Returns for Pre-oder!

My most popular and all time favorite post hast to be when I got the opportunity to shoot and promote the red and black Dita Cardigan from Wheels & Dollbaby!


This one post made headlines in other countries, the images re-posted so many times and have cemented W&DB as one of my favorite brands and fits. For the shoot above I wore a size 14 which seems to be my perfect size for all knitwear from this brand. The post can be found here with a full review.

But now for the news that everyone has been waiting for!!! Pre-orders are now available for not just one but 3 stunning colour was of the Dita Cardigan!!!!!! The new Dita's will be shipped after May 30th.







The Dita Cardigan is a wardrobe essential and I wear mine constantly so it's about time I got another colour way right? The stretch and soft knit fabric means I wear the 14 so if you are unsure about fit the 16 can has heaps of stretch and can fit a size up or more! 

I found a few selfies of myself on IG and thought I might share them. Be it daytime or nighttime I love wearing this cardigan and there are so many fun ways to style it! 




Do you have your own W&DB Dita Cardigan and want the chance to win all 3 of the new colours? Well get snapping! I'm going to submit all of mine just incase! 



Metal Love

Now you might already realize that my feet are owned by Luichiny. 90% of the images you see on this blog will show me wearing their amazing footwear and love them to death. But I do hear a great deal of comments  regarding the height of the heels I wear so I wanted to show you a more height friendly heel choice from my favorite brand.



I've been a fan of the metal toe look for a while now but I've not given in to any of the styles as I really did not like them as a whole but these two have won me over big time. The bronze combo print is a really different look for me but do you know what? I love it. 

Now both of these shoes are exactly the same style they just have a different colour toe option and come in different shades. 


With a 4 inch heel these shoes are really easy to walk in and suitable for wearing with suits, jeans and even a little black evening dress now that it's cooling down. The pointed toe is comfortable and I've got no complaints at all with the fit. 



Now because I'm always drawn to anything in black these are my stand out favorite of the two plus they match pretty much EVERYTHING in my closet. I think these two pairs may have started a new shoe shape addiction for me because I'm already looking at the Teal and the Peach versions. I wear this style in a size 10 and I find it to be a normal fit for my foot. 


There is something about this style that make you want to put on your hottest power suit and strut. They really are a strong and sexy shoe and make you feel amazing.


If you can't find the size you are after on Luichiny's direct store you can also find lots of their range at  

Now my next shoe hunt is about to start as I have to find the perfect shoe to pair up with a pink and blue skirt. Luichiny to the rescue! Time to shop! 




Pom Pom Plaid!

My dear readers I've found the best winter jacket EVER! You can all stop your searches and just buy this coat! 

I've tried everything that hell bunny has to offer but until now I had not tried their very warm and cute coats. Well I've been waiting far too long! 


Hell Bunny Fiona Jane Red Plaid Coat - £79.99
Eye Doll Platforms by Luichiny - $89.00

Now I know it's not really winter friendly to show the jacket with bare legs but I wanted to show the jacket, alone and in all of it's glory!

I'm wearing this style in a size XL and it is a roomy and perfect fit. I find that for a winter coat you need to be able to layer more items underneath and this provides me with the space to wear long sleeves and other tops beneath.


The fabric is thick, lined and quilted to add that extra warmth you need during a cold Melbourne winter. Although I'm usually a fan of more hour glass shapes I really enjoy wearing the more a-line style in a winter coat when it's really, really cold.

The red plaid fabric was the first big tick for me and you can also find this style in a blue plaid if red is not your colour. With my Hell Bunny yellow plaid moto jacket still a big favorite in my collection I wanted to add a big pop of colour and print into my usual dark winter wardrobe.

If plaid is a little too much for you never fear! The sister of the Fiona Coat is Sarah Jane and she is available in plain red and black.


The fur trims, hood and pom pom details are my favorite parts of this jacket. I can't wait for it to get super cold in Melbourne so I can wear this out constantly! 

Now I have this in my collection and I know that the XL in Hell Bunny coats is a perfect fit I really hope I can get this style next. 


The Millie Coat - £71.99

The Millie is a perfectly and flattering trench that is just the length I've been looking for. I've recently purchased a black ASOS trench but it's not working for me so I want this style instead! With these two items I think I'd be set for winter for years to come!

The ultimate in knitwear has returned my fellow Dollbabies it's red hot! On Sunday I gave you a sneak peak into the new colour ways available for pre-order and today I wanted to show you just how brilliant this style looks on curves.

The retro inspired cardigan sweater comes encased in a collectible French Armoire illustrated box inspired by the glamorous world of Dita Von Teese.



I'm wearing the new red Dita in a size 16 which is actually a size bigger than my other version. I think this years edition is very true to size and has a stretchy yet snug fit. My previous version through so many wears has loosened up over time but still retains it's fantastic shape. The fabric is super soft and molds to your curves without constricting your arms or bust. 

I find the fit of both really rather similar but I do prefer the 14 in this style. The bonus about wearing this in a 16 means I can also button it up to the top without any form of gape or button popping. But being a lover of a good cleavage top I'm sure this will rarely occur.




Back when I reviewed my first Wheels & Dollbaby cardigan back in 2011 I was unsure about fit but now I know that all stretch items in a 14 and yes even in a 16 fit my measurements (41-33-42) perfectly. These items fit true to size but I think the 16 Dita will fit up to an 18 with ease as it's so stretchy. My Essential Logo pencil skirt shown in these shots is still one of my go to items to pair with tees, shirts, tanks and pretty much every top option in my wardrobe. I'm wearing this style in a 14 and it molds to your hips and waist with every wear.


The red Dita Cardigan is a show stopper and really stands out so I've paired this with black accessories and a red beret to compliment the delicate embroidery detail, pleating and velvet bow and buttons. Shortly after this shoot I changed into some high waisted disco pants and a black beret which took the outfit to a whole new level. 


Many thanks to the fantastic Shauna Phoon for snapping a few shots of me in this stunning cardigan. Shauna is not only an amazingly talented photographer but she also creates the cutest accessories over at Sucre Noir! She also supplied the perfect accessory to compliment my French Spy style look her own vintage binoculars hand pained in gold leaf - divine!

Coming soon to Pinup Girl Clothing

Currently I'm on the look out for an amazing dress to wear to a wedding later in the year. I've been lusting over the 'Coming Soon' section of Pinup Girl Clothing in the hopes that I will find exactly what I need. 

Sadly my wallet is not letting me buy up a storm but luckily for me these babies are not available for purchase just yet. Here is a sneak peak at the brilliant new Deadly Dames and Pinup Couture styles heading our way. 



A little shop of horror's themed structured peplum dress from Deadly Dames? YES PLEASE!!! I've been in love with this film and the fashion since I was a little girl so this dress needs to be on my body asap. The fabric a one of a kind creation from Micheline Pitt exclusively for Pinup Girl Clothing. 

I'm usually not a strapless fan but I've heard so many great things about the boning and structure of this dress. Paired with some hot lime green accessories. This style also comes in a few more not print fabrics so if  this is not up your alley (how can it not be?) then you can go with simple black or red.



Such a classic knit dress in a classic shape with just a hint of bad girl chic. I'm really into yellow at the moment and the style and cut of this dress suits my curves so perfectly. This shade of yellow/gold would work perfectly with red hair. This style also comes in red so the choice of which colour is so hard! 

I'm loving the black chiffon necktie paired with this dress to really give it that hot rod vibe. I would pair this with the same accessories plus gloves, a black beret and a hot rod. 


Pinup Couture Betsey Swing Dress in Black Gingham - $120.00


I'm currently on the biggest gingham kick known to man kind and I've been searching high and low for a dress exactly like the Bestey! Perfect for layering with cute cardigans and stockings in the winter and even more perfect for the warmer months. 

I just adore the black accents and the full skirt which until last two years I've never really been fond of. Swing skirts have definitely scored a big place in my heart. 



Then lastly the Luscious dress. I actually intended to purchase one of the Luscious dresses when I was over in the US earlier this year but I had no luck finding the Octavio style I was after. Now after seeing this version I think it might be fate that I could not find the other version. 

A bright and lush red dress suitable to wear all spring and summer long with the most adorable pinup girl embroidered on each shoulder. This style is amazing for big busts and for hour glass figures as it really nips you in where it's important. 

Well that's my current lust list! I would sell my light leg to have these babies in my closest and would shoot up a storm in them! 

What's currently on your PUG lust list?

Fresh from the mail man and onto my face I could not even wait another moment to snap these awesome sunglasses and announce a little something special for you my readers. So excited that I could not wait another moment and had to snap away with my trusty iPhone!

Now I get a lot of questions about my sunglasses across social media and mainly on Instagram as I tend to take a lot of photos wearing them. I think sunglasses can make or break an outfit and it's all about having the right shape and colour for your face and skin tone. 


Sunglasses Shop is a one stop shop for you guessed it - Sunglasses! They are jam packed with designer shades and other brilliant more affordable brands. I went with a style I've been fond of for a while now the 'over-sized frame' as it seems to suit me the most. 






Now I've never purchased anything Roxy before as I've always associated the brand with surf wear and that's never really suited me. But after browsing all the styles on offer from this brand at Sunglasses Shop I've got to say I'm in love! 

The ALEYNA style is big, bold and exactly what I've been looking for in a pair of sunnies. They are sleek and chic with a large enough frame to fit my needs. You see I'm either a cats-eye frame or over-sized frame kinda girl and these are the perfect size for over-sized. 

These are brilliant daily, matches with everything and suits every need style glasses and a must have for anyone who is a big fan of the Butterfly or Large Frame style.


  

Design and Frame Specs : 

These Roxy sunglasses are a classic feminine design. Ideal for the fashion conscious these are a great modern take on the iconic "A list" over-sized style that is so popular this season. The arm detail adds a luxurious edge.

Lens Colour: Grey Frame

Did you know Hell Bunny now make the most awesome selection of swing/circle skirts? Well they do and they are brilliant. 

Available in an assortment of colours, prints and fabrics these skirts are made of the exact same fabrics that you can find many of their dresses in. 

I wanted to do a  review for you guys to help you get the best size and styles available right now from this rocking range of separates. So the awesome Aaron Widyanto and I packed a car full of Hell Bunny skirts and petticoats and went for a fun little photo shoot. 

Now I'm wearing these styles in 3 different sizes and I will give you the rundown on each. 


Belt - Old Torrid sold out. 


This print is perfection. Delicate red roses on a solid white cotton fabric, paired perfectly with my Dita Cardigan. I'm wearing this style in a size XL and it does fit my waist but has a little bit of spare room. My waist measurement jumps from 32 inches to 33 inches on a regular basis so I hope that helps you in your search for the right size. Listed as a size 34 inch waist it's close but still not perfect. 

I've paired this with my white petticoat from Hell Bunny and I think the combination is adorable! I originally wanted a red petticoat to pair with this but I actually like the softness the white adds to this outfit. The white also came in handy with the next skirt I modeled. The petticoat fits nicely underneath this skirt with a flatness at the waist and bulk where you want it. 


I just can't help but show off my underskirt while modeling such items and twirl. You can't forget to twirl in these skirts!!


Pinup Girl Clothing Belt (purchase in store) 

Next up we have a colour combination I bet you never thought you'd see me in - baby blues and pinks oh my! This colour and print is so far from my usual styling but I do adore it! I'm a sucker for anything that features flamingo's and this print has my heart. 


Sadly this is way too big for me so I've had to safety pin it at the back and add my own belt to secure the skirt at the right point on my waist. This skirt is in a size 2xl and is just not the right fit for my measurements.

The size chart listing of waist measurements for this size is 36 - 37 inches and I would say that is rather spot on.

But after wearing this style and print I'm actually loving the bright colours on my skin. I'm going to make an effort to bring more looks like this into my life come summer.


Belt - Old Torrid sold out. 


If you have red hair you know that any shade of green is your best friend and this skirt is my new bestie. The colour is actually a lot darker in reality and the most stunning shade of almost emerald green. Paired with my black petticoat this is my favorite of all the outfits! 

I am wearing this style in a size Large and to quote Goldilocks it's 'Just right' Yes we have a winner! I now need to order every Hell Bunny skirt in a large. 


Paired again with my other Dita Cardigan which is a perfect match for so many of these skirts and prints. 

Have you tried out any of these styles yet or are yet to invest in a few skirts or petticoats? Tell me what you think of all the new separates and prints bellow.
