I love a visit to our local pumpkin patch and can’t wait till October 1st rolls around as that is when Hales Apple Farm in Sebastopol, CA is all setup and open to the public. I very carefully plan my pumpkin patch outfit as my hubby and I take lots of pics.
October means lots of fun Halloween and Fall Pinup shoots so there is a lot more to come on my blog this season!!
I have always loved the vintage Halloween paper mache jack-o-lanterns and candy boxes from the 1940s and 1950s that were created in all kinds of spooky and fun Halloween images of ghosts, goblins, witches, skeletons and black cats. When I saw this Pinup Couture Jenny Lantern Border Print skirt with its fabulous purple background and those exact Halloween candy containers from the 40s-50s I new it would be one that I absolutely had to have in my Pinup collection.
Lady Voluptuous has put their own stamp on the classic wrap dress with a 1950s circle skirt and a standout print for every occasion. I was so excited to work with Lady Voluptuous on this collaboration and wear their new Autumn/Winter 2016 Lyra Dress that I could not wait to style and shoot this delectably sweet dress in the Cute As A Cupcake print in black.
This Lyra dress is practical, feminine, and sexy, yet can be work appropriate too. For Autumn this dress has long sleeves!!! Hooray for all us ladies that don’t enjoy baring our arms as well as appreciate the longer length for added warmth as the weather turns cooler. No one can pass up the cute cupcake print (I was craving cupcakes badly) and the colors are perfect for Autumn with cozy shades of gold, brownish/orange, hints of red and pastel blues/pinks. The Lyra dress is spot on for modern dressing with its V-neck wrap design that fits a woman’s body like no other dress as it perfectly hugged my curves and hour glass shape, and, in keeping with the vintage theme it has that fabulous full circle skirt. With ties in the back, you can pull the dress as tight as you like to enhance your waist or, keep it looser for work wear. I love that this wrap dress also lets the wearer adjust just how much cleavage they are comfortable showing as you can pull it higher in front to minimize the amount or, pull it down a bit to bare a little more.
In these pictures I styled the dress very minimally as I wanted the fun print to be the showstopper. I wore it with my simple black pumps and some bright pink earrings. I added a pink cardigan for a little contrast to show just how easy it is to style this stunning dress. As the weather cools I will pair it with tights and some tall boots and richer hued cardigans. I am a Lyra dress fan having the green and purple styles in my collection and am so thrilled to have the addition of this Cupcake print in my wardrobe as this dress is a staple and so very comfortable to wear. The dress is as light as air and doesn’t wrinkle!! Lady Voluptuous garments are made in London from the finest fabrics in sizes 16-32. I need all the Lyra’s in all the styles!! Hurry and snap yours up before it sells out ——> Cute As A Cupcake dress.

I recently had the opportunity to model for Koco Blaq, a fashion line by designer, and celebrity Hollywood stylist Daniel Terrell. You might know Koco Blaq for it’s luxurious high-end resort wear for both women and men. Quality, sophistication, fit and flare are highlights of this brand.
I am a curvy doll with G cups who adores the Tiki Oasis lifestyle and Koco Blaq makes it effortless as sizes range from Small to 2XL leaving you feeling incredibly beautiful and confident in these gorgeous clothes as they not only hug your curves in all the right places, but they are made from a super comfy scuba stretchy fabric so they will keep there shape and are truly flattering on many body types.
I am wearing Koco Blaq’s Mele Palm Ruffle Dress here in the opening photo and the colors are stunning, no doubt it’s a show stopper, get ready for heads to turn!! The only accessories you’ll need are some vintage Bakelite bangles and your favorite Tiki hair flower.
This fabulous Tiki set is the Blaq Tea Leaf skirt and matching top. This outfit is a must for any Pinup Rockabilly doll as it is a high waisted circle skirt and the top has a collar and ties in the front so you can be as vavavoomy as you want plus, the top is the perfect length in back covering nicely. Wear the skirt with your favorite petticoat for a little added volume and you will receive nothing but compliments. This outfit too is made from the same super comfy scuba stretchy fabric so it will keep its shape and is truly flattering on many body types. Sizes range from Small to 2XL. You will love this one!!
