It is August and we are right in the middle of summer time. The temps are soaring in so many places. I want to look pretty and put-together but how do you pull that off when temps are over 100 degrees and, you still want to wear your petticoat? You do it with Hell Bunny, that’s how.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Hell Bunny clothing brand, they are a UK company that creates fashion styles from the 40s-50s that is Pinup, Retro, Rockabilly, Punk, vintage with edgy street styles.  If you want to stand out then Hell Bunny is a brand you need to get to know!!

I love wearing Hell Bunny skirts in the summer or, anytime the temps soar. The skirts have the most beautiful patterns and colors and are so light and airy. I am wearing the Hell Bunny Cannes Floral White/Red Roses Skirt in these pictures and I love it. I had been searching for a floral patterned skirt that pops for a long time and this skirt was recently restocked so I snapped it up. The roses are stunning on this skirt and really do pop against the pristine white background. The skirt just floats, it is light as air. I am also wearing a full petticoat underneath.

Mixing and matching tops with the Hell Bunny Cannes Floral White/Red Roses Skirt is not a problem and you’ll have so many options. I chose to pair it with my red Doris top from Pinup Girl Clothing fir these pictures but, adding colorful cardigans and blouses with belts, purses and petticoats will give you so many different looks. No doubt, this skirt will be a staple in your summer wardrobe. Also, it would make a perfect holiday skirt too with a red or green cardigan and Christmas brooch…. How gorgeous!

My next skirt is the Hell Bunny 50’s August Cherry Check. This one is without a doubt one of my all time favorite skirts!! Gingham and cherries…. Just screams summer!! This is a full circle skirt made of 100% cotton so it is light as air.

I’ve styled this skirt so many different ways over the past year. Here in these pictures I am wearing it with a long sleeved top but have worn it with red tops, white tops, green tops and even blue tops. I love that you can add a full petticoat underneath. In these pictures I styled it without a petticoat. The skirt nips you in right at the waist, perfect for the Pinup girl and rockabilly look.

Accessorizing this outfit is a lot of fun. I am wearing my true vintage red cherry Bakelite brooch (gift from my hubby) and added vintage cherry shoe clips and vintage millinery cherries to my vintage dark green patent leather purse.

There are so many options to style this skirt with colorful cardigans and tops, adding some fun hair scarves would really give it a rockabilly vibe as well. Wearing a longer petticoat that shows at the bottom would be a sweet touch too. Again, this is such a light and breathable skirt, so perfect for summer time.

You can visit Hell Bunny or do a quick search you’ll find a bunch of stockists. I find the size guide is spot on. If you are not sure, try to get into a local re-seller near you to try on the items or, ping Hell Bunny on Instagram or Facebook and their staff is quick to respond.

With autumn fast approaching and Halloween, Hell Bunny has already released a lust worthy Fall line and even some holiday items so visit hellbunny.com to see more

Hope you all are having a great summer and staying stylishly cool!

Pinup Girl style with Asian flair is done beautifully in this gorgeous Heart of Haute Gypsy skirt in the Geisha print. We snapped a couple pictures just before heading out for the afternoon and I am so happy I get to share the details of this lovely outfit with you all.

Let’s begin with the stunning pattern on this skirt that depicts a lovely scene straight out of days-gone-by Japan. The Geisha print Gypsy skirt has colors of white, midnight blues, dark blues, and gold making it pop and of course the elegant Geisha are depicted in scenes of every day life with gardens and glorious cherry blossom trees and lanterns decorating the skirt. I received so many compliments in this outfit!! The skirt has a nice wide waistband and gives your figure a very curvy feminine shape and it came to just below my knee, has a center zipper and is 100% cotton. I am wearing the XL in this skirt and it fits spot on to the measurements.

I paired the stunning Heart of Haute Gypsy skirt with the Heart of Haute white Marilyn Tee. The top is so soft (just like all Heart of Haute tops) and has perfect shape and structure with a good amount of stretch (I am wearing the top in a 1X to accommodate my bust) 100% cotton knit. This top is a wardrobe staple and comes in a variety of colors. You can wear the Marilyn Tee higher on your shoulders or off the shoulder depending on the mood or look you are going for and it can be worn dressed up or down. For my look today I wanted the skirt be the main focal point so I didn’t accessorize with any brooches or necklaces but did add some dark blue peep toe Pinup vintage style shoes.

Nifty 50s Retro Diner Novelty Print Skirt – Perfectly Pinup by Banned Apparel

Yasmina Greco Pinup Banned Apparel Diner skirtLet’s start this post with the obvious ‘This skirt has a fabulous 50’s retro diner print’ and bright colors making it a stand out favorite!! Skirt is may the alternative UK clothing brand ‘Banned Apparel’ and they have a full range of vintage and retro inspired clothing items from skirts, dresses, shoes and more. I am a big fan of Banned Apparel and find their items to be top quality. Banned sells most wholesale but they do have a USA website as well.

I first saw this stunning Retro 50’s Diner Novelty Border Skirt on the ShopVDM website and pre-ordered it immediately. The folks that run ShopVDM are delightful and ship very quickly. I was really excited when my skirt arrived and found it to be exactly as pictured with a soft yellow background with bright colors that make up the boarder print scene of a diner, waitress and classic cars; there are even atomic starbursts on this print!!Yasmina Greco Pinup Banned Apparel 50s Diner skirtThe skirt is very light so it will be perfect for warmer weather. My hubby was really sweet and snapped a few pics of me wearing the skirt, I do have a petticoat underneath and love the shape it gives the skirt, I paired it with my Heart of Haute Lilly top in blue and added a wide belt. I am wearing the skirt in a size XL and find it fits true to size without stretch. I think this will be a favorite of mine to wear to the upcoming classic car shows. Pair this one with a fun novelty bag and you ready to go out for the day!! ShopvDM is taking pre-orders now for another round so hurry and get yours before it sells out!!
