My September Wishlist 2016

Aloha, peaches! So, if you know me you know that I am a total autumnal gal. I absolutely love it! Last year I did a whole post dedicated to why I love Autumn which you can view here<. It is to date one of my most favourite blog posts because it just sums up this season for me. Nothing beats wrapping up all cozy walking over fallen crunchy leaves whilst sipping a hazelnut hot chocolate or pumpkin spice latte. If that doesn't give you warm fuzzy feelings then I don't know what will! With the new season comes new releases (and some older pieces!) from your favourite brands. Bring on the jewel-tones, faux fur and coats! My fave! Here is a list of all the things I am lusting after this month...

Dusty Jacket

£54

I actually have the matching lace up skirt to this so naturally I need the complete set, amiright?

The Casual Pinup: How To Dress Retro Everyday!

Aloha, lovelies! Today's post is going to be one that I feel very passionately towards! I LOOOOVE casual dressing... I actually prefer it to wearing a dress. I would much rather wear jeans and a top over a dress & petticoat. Thing is... I am a women of comfort. I just love to relax and not worry about what I am wearing - whether my bra strap is showing, or itchy petticoats or my dress is tucked into my knickers. Some may call it lazy... I call it 'practical'. I've always preferred 'everyday' clothing but especially so since become a Mamma. I'm not gunna try and carry my baby, car seat, nappy change bag and shopping at the same time whilst wearing a big ol' flouncy dress. Obviously, I do sometimes like to pop on a frock and I have particular dresses that are perfect for casual wear so here is my post to help you with dress practically whilst also keeping your retro vibes!

My Current Wishlist - April 2016

Aloha, lovelies! I have found myself lusting after a few higher priced items recently so thought it was overdue I posted my current wish list! Perhaps one day if I win the lotto, I can reference this post and buy EVERYTHING!

OOTD: Purple Harlequin

Aloha, sweet peas! I hope you're enjoying the UK sun we have had over the last few days! I certainly have.  Today's outfit post has to be one of my favourites! Sometimes, I like to create an outfit around one piece of clothing and this time it was one of my beloved Pinup Girl Clothing Harlequin Jenny Skirts in Purple. These skirts have revolutionized my wardrobe! Initially, when I first got them I thought they wouldn't get much wear as I thought they'd be really hard to style, but boy was I wrong! They match with so much because the colour palette of the pattern features a lot of shades and tones.

I love this outfit because it is so so simple, but I still felt sassy as hell! And I just adore how the purple contrasts with my copper hair. Also, my first outfit post featuring the most amazing-incredible-beautiful-fancy-drop-dead-gorgeous bag I have ever laid eyes on that is the bag I designed myself and was made by the amazing Dots N' Bows. It just so happened to go perfectly with my outift ;)

Pinup Style On A Budget: £5 SHOES!?

Aloha, my little candy canes! How're you doing? I hope you're feeling fabulously festive! I have a very shoe-heavy post for you today... But there is a catch - they are ALL £5... Yes, you read that right... FIVE! When I used to live in Watford, we had a little shop quite literally called 'Everything £5' - or something along the lines of that... Admittedly the quality isn't going to be superior, but I wouldn't say it is much different from that of Primark or similar budget stores. It is great for purse-pinchers and you can find some gems if you look hard enough and use your imagination! I was browsing online (like always!) and stumbled across the 'Everything £5' website! Yiippeee! I had a little (long) look and took a liking to their range of shoes. I know my fellow Bombshell and friend Miss Amy May is a fan and that says a lot!

Now, the choice can be a little overwhelming with 956 products in just the shoe category alone so I've concocted a little list of my favourites and also put them in categories of style too as I know we all have different tastes. I've filtered through the fugly 'not-so-pin-up' ones, so you don't have to... However I'd recommend using their 'Search by colour' tool if you're looking for something specific!
What is also good about the site is that they have a pretty simple review system so customers can write their honest opinions on each of the items and most of the items have lots of reviews either telling you they hate them or they absolutely love them which is pretty handy for judging quality and comfort!
