Oh, readers, how I have missed you. I know, I know, been quite some time since last I updated, but now that I'm crawling out of the post-breakup trenches and better then ever, I bring you this: my first "I'm Sorry I Left You Hanging" offering! As I work fervently to catch up with a… Continue reading A Triumphant Return (And a Voodoo Vixen Review!)
Those of you who are familiar with me, this blog, and my other social media channels already know: my love for vintage inspired fashion and lingerie runs deep. (I mean, it's right there in the tagline of this very blog!) I'm no stranger to the pinup scene, but after a few years as a loyalist… Continue reading Midcentury Madness with Miss Candyfloss
Pants. The very bane of my existence. Shopping for pants gives me all kinds of anxiety because when you've got a donk and any sort of waist-to-hip ratio, you're in for a ride on the struggle bus. My booty in particular has seen to the demise of many a pair of pants. Whether it's a weak seam… Continue reading The Pursuit Of Pants
NINE DAYS, ladies and gentlemen. Nine short, fateful days until Cupid rides into town. Now I'll admit, I typically don't buy into the Valentine's Day madness. My love and I opt to hang around the house instead of partaking in the pink-and-red free for all because we simply can't be fussed with overpriced restaurants and… Continue reading My Vintage Valentine
Just days ago, I was in the backseat of a car flying 80 km/h through the winding Irish countryside. My beautiful longtime friend (and photographer!) celebrated her wedding at the incredible Ashford Castle , and I had the honor of standing next to her as she said her vows! As it were, a destination wedding meant… Continue reading #PinupInIreland
Tis the season, ladies. The season of sales. "SITEWIDE SAVINGS!" "BLACK FRIDAY STEALS AND DEALS!" "LOWEST PRICES OF THE SEASON!" And along with the wheeling and dealing, it is also the season of "Account Balance: Zero". In laymen's terms: I'm broke. Between Christmas gifting, personal responsibilities, and an upcoming destination wedding trip to Ireland (Congratulations… Continue reading Mix And Match Wardrobe: Round One
As a long-time fan of Pinup Girl Clothing, I have seen the debut of many a collection. But no collection was as excitedly awaited as the Magic of Mary Blair! A collaboration with the estate of Mary Blair, of Disney fame, the line featured skirts and dresses in extremely limited edition whimsical prints, some directly… Continue reading The Magic Of Mary Blair Part 1: Umbrella Fancy
If you've been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that I'm not much of an "accessorizer". Sure, I'll throw some flowers in my hair, or the occasional pearl something or other on my neck/wrist/etc, but for the most part I'm a simple chick. Reason being, I simply prefer spending money on… Continue reading How Darling!
Sometimes, ladies, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Whether it's a job, a relationship, a friend, a pair of shoes--sometimes you just don't see something for what it truly is until it slips from your fingertips. In my case, that holy grail item--that Unicorn, if you will--was the Italian Landscape Print Jenny… Continue reading Bella Italia
I can count on one hand how many times I've been reduced to tears over something as simple as a dress. (One. It has happened one time.) You see, when Pinup Girl Clothing had their sitewide 20% off sale a few months ago I was pinching my pennies, unsure as to whether or not I wanted… Continue reading Take Me Downtown (Dames)
