December 24, 2017 By: Fan

Christmas Day is tomorrow!! This has been such a busy, fast moving month and I am so glad I was able to do my annual (ok my 2nd year) 12 Days of Christmas Pinup Fashions for you all. Hands down themed shoots are my favorite and this year brought so many collaborations from so many different brands, it was so much fun getting to work with them all. Featured in my 12 Days of Christmas are outfits by: Pigtails and Pirates, Pinup Girl Clothing, Lindy Bop, Lady V of London, Lady Voluptuous. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that you weren’t too naughty and get the presents you’ve been hoping for!!

1940s Figure Flattering Blanche Dress by Trashy Diva

November 22, 2017 By: Fan

It’s the first time I am featuring the brand Trashy Diva on my blog. I have seen their lovely 1940s style dresses many times on social media and thought their designs were gorgeous. I was excited when the opportunity came to review the Victory Floral Blanche dress.

I had long admired the Victory Floral design with its true 1940s style and pattern of navy blue with brilliant florals in stunning golden yellows, lavender, and burgundy red and green colors. I chose the Blanche style, which is a wrap dress, and if you have been reading my blog you know how much I love wrap style dresses. This dress also has great attention to detail in its design with a vintage-style ruffle neckline and tiered A-line shape. The fabric too is exceptional quality being a knit cotton. The dress is incredibly light and comfortable. Also, the colors in the pattern provide so many styling options.

For this blog post I matched my shoes and accessories to the deep red color in the pattern. For my first look I styled the outfit with my red Robbie shoes by Bait Footwear and a red vintage style necklace by Splendette. For my second look I added my red Heart of Haute sweet sweater (a wardrobe staple) and a vintage 40s red wicker purse. I can’t wait to wear this dress with yellow and green cardigans and accessories as the styling options are endless.

The wrap style of this dress is perfect for a curvy figure and you decide how much cleavage you want to show…. I kept this look a little more conservative with only a hint peeking through but still; the style shows a feminine shape beautifully. I will be wearing the Trashy Diva Blanche dress year round; in the winter add a coat and some high boots and you are dressed perfectly!! I am looking forward to featuring Trashy Diva many more times on my blog!!

Blonde Bombshell Hearts and Kisses Pinup Girl T-Shirt

September 13, 2017 By: Fan

I am happy to share our latest addition to the Crazy4Me Style shop, our Blonde Bombshell Hearts and Kisses Pinup Girl T-Shirt from custom one-of-a-kind artwork. She exudes 1950s bombshell glam with her glorious blonde hair all done up in a vintage style and she is blowing kisses and hearts. She is perfection!!

For this tee it was quite the challenge finding the right fabric and printing process. I really wanted an aqua blue tee to showoff the artwork as I could see it perfectly with the pink hearts and her blonde hair. Dye lots apparently can vary and just because you receive the correct colored tee once doesn’t mean you will again, so we worked with many manufactures to find the absolute best workmanship and also experienced sizing rounds to ensure the design was perfectly printed and with the right colored inks. We talked to so many companies!! We also wanted to work with a US based company as that is a really important thing for us. It was a very long process but, here she is, we are so proud of the finished product and hope you love her!! Sizes available in XS – 3XL.

Our Blonde Bombshell tee has the perfect scoop neck and the sleeves are not tight on the upper arm portion like so many other tees. Ours are roomy with a nice shape. The t-shirt also accommodates a full bust with ease and that means the design won’t crack; this is especially important for us Dolls with large breasts. The tee is also a nice length that can easily tuck into wiggle skirts, swing skirts, and jeans, and, can be comfortably un-tucked over trousers and will maintain its shape. Our tee is perfect for the Pinup Girl, Rockabilly babe and modern day vintage loving gal!!

Pencil Skirt

September 6, 2017 By: Fan

This might just be the only pencil skirt you’ll find me in. Long time readers of my blog know I am a swing skirt kinda gal. Let’s dive right in this skirt review and talk about the boarder print…those fabulous rainbow hued colored pencils!! Yep, it’s the rainbow pencils that caught my eye and I could not wait to get this skirt on and shoot it. The skirt is by ModCloth, not a brand I typically wear but this boarder print was just too good. I read some of the online reviews and was a little concerned about sizing as the reviews were all over the place. I ordered per the size chart and am so glad I did, as the fit is perfection. The skirt is made of cotton and breathes and has enough room in the waist to be very comfortable.

Here are some pics and yes, that is our very own 1950s Philco Predicta TV and it still works!!

This skirt is very well made and includes a liner. It is an A-line cut and has pockets. The shape, being A-line did not work with a petticoat so I was a little saddened that I would not be able to wear a variety of colors with it but, the shape and fit are totally on-point. And those rainbow pencils, my oh my, in-person they are even brighter and more brilliant!! I paired the skirt with a berry colored top and belt to nip in my waist. This skirt allows for so many tops and cardigans and couldn’t be any simpler to style. Since I am more of a vintage/retro Pinup Girl I went with that theme and even added a matching hair tie. The skirt is so incredibly versatile and can be dressed up or down with a blouse and accessories. You can also pair it with a variety of colorful shoes!! I will next be wearing this with a turquoise blue (my favorite color) top and matching accessories so stay tuned. The skirt is selling out quickly so hurry and snap yours up while sizes are in stock – ModCloth Cotton A-Line Skirt with Pockets.
