Retro Reviews: Deluxe Creations


Aloha honey's! Now, if you know me you'll know that glitter lucite is one of my favourite things in the whole wide world. I just can't resist a good bit of sparkle. I do have quite a large collection of jewellery but my Deluxe Creations stash is by far one of my most loved... And when you see the photo's you'll know why.

Deluxe Creations is an Etsy jewellery store based in Perth, Australia. From kitsch doggy brooches to straight up glamorous hoops - they have something for everyone. The thing that impressed me the most about DC was the beautiful array of different glitters and colours their creations come in. I feel like they really offer something unique in the wonderful world of resin accessories (as I personally do find a lot of it can be a bit 'samey').

Retro Reviews: Dolly & Dotty + OOTD's


Dolly and Dotty - 1950s and 1960s vintage dress store for Swing, Jive and Rockabilly fans.

Aloha, lovelies! My post today is going to be all about UK-based vintage inspired clothing brand. It is affordable and they have a mahoosive selection of different styles and cuts in an incredible amount of prints and colours so there is sure to be something to suit everyone's taste!

They recently contacted me to see if I wanted to review their brand and of course after checking their site I gladly agreed. Since being pregnant, I am always on the hunt for dresses that work with an ever-growing bump so I can share them with any retro-loving mums-to-be.
I wanted to pick dresses that were seasonally appropriate so I could wear them right away and also give festive outfit suggestions for those of you sporting baby bump.

Retro Reviews: Alternate Normality

Aloha, Spring Chickens! I'm here today with a Retro Review of the fabulous Alternate Normality! Alternate Normality, established January 2013, is an amazing accessory run by the gorgeous Holly who is a vintage-loving gal who is passionate about creating stand-out kitsch and rockabilly style accessories for dames who aren't afraid to make a statement! 
I was lucky enough to be sent a gorgeous selection of colourful pieces - all of which I LOVE. The one thing that really stood out to me whilst browsing their site is the shoe clips. They aren't something that I usually spot on accessory sites which is strange as they are so simple but so effective. I am one of those girls who wears the same pair of black heels all the time due to simplicity, but mainly comfort - so having a pair of shoe clips to jazz them up is just essential. They completely transform my boring old shoes and turn them into something kitsch and cute in a matter of seconds. Another amazing plus is that they are so affordable ranging from £5-£8! My floral strawberry shoe clips are just £6.50.
Other than my cute as a button shoe clips, I was also sent a Ivory Double Peony Hair Flower

Retro Reviews: Tesco Opticians :-)

I'm one of the odd few people to exist who actually feel they look better a pair of glasses as oppose to without. I don't know why...Maybe I feel my face needs more accessorizing or something! So when I was asked a couple of weeks ago to choose a pair of glasses from the Tesco Opticians website I was over the moon as I'd been hunting for the perfect pair of cat eyes. I know what you're thinking... 'Tesco!?' I don't even think many people know that Tesco's have an opticians! But trust me when I say... They have a beautiful range of retro inspired frames. From a subtle cat-eye to a full on Marilyn-esqe frames - they have something to suit everyone.
