12 Days of Pinup Christmas Part 2: Pigtails and Pirates, Hell Bunny, Heart of Haute + More!

December 10, 2016 By: Fan

I can’t believe how quickly December is flying by!! When I first set out to do a ’12 Days of Pinup Christmas’ theme, truth be told, I wasn’t quite sure what I would be sharing for 12 days with you all but, turns out my hubby Gary and I did a pretty good job at planning out the photo shoots and I can’t believe how many pretty holiday outfits I’ve received to share with you all in my posts. We were able to find a fabulous 1950s Philco Predicta TV that works and is now part of our living room!! Also, our tabletop vintage aluminum Christmas tree is never too far this time of year as we love vintage Christmas and these elements add so much mid-century modern charm. Here are the latest pics from my 12 days theme featuring lovely outfits from Pigtails and Pirates, Heart of Haute, Hell Bunny and The Oblong Box Shop . You can see more and keep up with me on Instagram and Facebook

Ride ’em Cowboy – Pinup Cowgirl Dress by Pigtails and Pirates

Yasmina Greco – Ride ’em Cowboy – Pinup Cowgirl Dress by Pigtails and Pirates

I had been in search of a cowgirl novelty print swing dress for quite sometime and when I saw this Pigtails and Pirates Ride’em Cowboy stunner I had to have it. The color is a deep vibrant red patterned with vintage pinup cowgirls in a variety of poses and settings. The sweetheart neckline is so feminine and figure flattering and accommodates a full bust nicely. The straps are also a nice size so you can wear your regular bra underneath.

The dress arrived very quickly all the way from Australia (I am in California) and was packaged with great care, it arrived just in time for a photo shoot I had been planning. For the shoot I styled this adorable cowgirl dress with a fun cowgirl hat and vintage lasso. I am wearing a petticoat for added flair though the swing skirt is a nice full size on its own.

This is such an exciting day for me!! Clothing company Pigtails and Pirates has featured me modeling their fabulous retro print ‘Take my Picture’ dress. For those of you that follow my blog, you know that not too long ago I did a 360 in my life and started embracing my curves and the 1950s. This ‘Take my Picture’ dress was one of my very first Pinup girl dress purchases. My husband saw the dress on Instagram and showed me, I ordered it as soon as it was available on the Pigtails and Pirates website. The brand keeps so true to the Pinup girl and Rockabilly 1950s era with the creative way they incorporate modern themes but keep that swing dress and circle skirt cut so the clothing hugs your curves in exactly the right way and you feel so amazing in their clothes. Bright colors and crisp prints will keep me coming back to Pigtails and Pirates, I have their ‘Vintage Caravans’ dress coming soon, can’t wait for the photoshoot… will include an Airstream!! This photoshoot was such fun too! Check out Pigtails and Pirates, they also have a children’s clothing line so the whole family can look stylish together.

4th of July Fashion and Outfit Roundup

June 29, 2017 By: Fan

Here are some of my favorite outfits that can go well for the 4th of July. I wear a lot of Red, White, and Blue through the year and I know a lot of you do too so, why not mix and match what you already have for that perfectly Pinup and retro patriotic outfit for Independence Day.

In my blog post opening picture I styled a really fun outfit for the 4th of July!! The skirt is from Unique Vintage and it is the 1950s High Waist Stars & Stripes Flag Swing Skirt. This skirt is really a show-stopper!! I paired it with my white Doris top from Pinup Girl Clothing and dded a pop of red with my necklace from Splendette. I really love this look and will be wearing on the 4th!!

This last group for my 4th of July outfit round up again features all red, white, and blue themed goodies. For some of you it is chilly this time of year so this nautical inspired coat from Collectif Clothing is terrific when paired with a red top. A fun outfit is this out-of-the-world dress from Pigtails and Pirates featuring a space theme and the pops of color work perfectly for the 4ht of July. Again, polka dots by Hellbunny in white/blue and one of my faves here is this nautical inspired patriotic pinup picture that is all sorts of red, white, blue, with my cherry red top and nautical skirt from Retrospec’d.

There you have it, my 4th of July outfit round up. I’d love to hear from you all and see what you are wearing this 4th of July so send me a note or tag me on social media – @crazy4me

Each girl needs her jewelry. No outfit is complete without a necklace, brooch or bangles.
