Gifts & Giveaways

Recently my wonderful prize that feels more like a luxurious gift arrived, which I won from the Able Grable Giveaway on Miss Matildas Blog. My package was full of vintage lovelies my favorite part would have to be the 1940's sparkly vintage hat which is to die for and I know I will be wearing it over and over. Once we get unpacked I will be taking pictures of my self with my new lovely items to share with y'all.

Able Grable is a wonderful new clothing line, right now they are offering this darling well constructed 1930's inspired polka dot dress. I am enthralled by the glorious detail on this dress especially the back as well as the high quality materials which this true to the time dress is made of.

Lately I have been stumbling on so many great giveaways and I wanted to make sure you guys knew about some of these.

Definitely hot not cold

Just some of my favorite photographs of Katy Perry, she is so inspiring with all of her adorable vintage dresses, accessories and cute lil rompers. Though her music is not exactly my cup of tea probably because of the fact I really do not listen to a lot of new music especially pop, but somehow I am simply hooked! I adore her songs they are so cheerful and always seem to get stuck in my head plus with such adorable music videos who could resist. Johnny Wujek, who has styled Katy for album and magazine covers, red carpets, and music videos says "when I first met her she was just very colourful and vintage. You know, wearing a crazy old prom dress that she would just find and cut up and make amazing." I really dig that she lets her personal style show, she has a great bright and colorful vintage look and she rocks it extremely well. If only we all had a hairstylist on hand to pull off her adorable 1940's and 1950's hairstyles. I would love to hear your guys opinion about Miss Katy Perry. The only thing I dislike about this fashionable songstress is shes letting all of are secrets out about shopping vintage.

Atomic Martini Sarong Dress

Isn't this Bernie Dexter atomic martini sarong dress one of the cutest reproduction dresses you have ever seen its available here at Baby Girl Boutique for only $89. What makes the deal sweeter is that http://www.babygirlboutique.com/ is having a lovely Memorial Day sale and you can save 20% using coupon code (memorial-09) that would drop the dress down to $71.20. Its such a tempting deal but it is a bit of a splurge for me at this time on something non vintage but it looks well made and I love the fact that it is lined and has an adorable stretch back just like bathing suits and sarong dresses from the 1950's.

Wouldn't this dress go darling with these bad boys, complete with a strap perfect for dancing.

These adorable Beige Patent High Heel Mary Jane Pumps with a platform are also available from Baby Girl Boutique at $42 plus 20% off.

Sheer Secretary Slip

Yes its a slip, I know doesn't it look good enough to wear out, aside from the fact that it is sheer and completely see through. I just adore the but hugging shape and design of this slip perfect for underneath the tightest of tight fishtail skirts. Made by Niki offers many items aside from this gorgeous slip complete with garters they also sell amazing high waisted panties and adorable bras.

Loose Teeth Vintage Inspired Sundress with Petticoat GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

Loose Teeth Vintage Inspired Sundress with Petticoat GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

The best part of this awesome giveaway is not the fact the dress is the most darling thing I have ever seen as and it has a cute petticoat, the best part is that the fact that the winner will have the dress made custom sized for them. Loose Teeth is a wonderful shop on etsy specializing in custom made vintage inspired items, from cute lil rompers to shorts, dresses and more.

The item being graciously given away is this sweet plaid sundress. Described by Grosgrain, "It is made from 100% cotton red, blue yellow and white plaid seersucker with 100% cotton eyelet lace underskirt... It has lace detail around the bottom edge of the seek sucker, the back and top edges of the bodice and two bows where the spaghetti straps attach in the front."

Heather of Loose Teeth has been sewing for 10 years and her ship Loose Teeth has an abundance of different items you may buy or order custom sized. She even will whip up something you have dreamt up, Heather obviously does not mind a difficult task. In her own words, "I love a challenge. If you have a costume idea or retro inspired special engagement gown that you have always wanted, share it with me and I’ll see if I can construct it for you."

My favorite item in her store would have to be her blue and white Lolita inspired sailor play suit, it is so adorable and definitely a one of a kind well made addition to any gals wardrobe. Perfect for recreating the classic looks of Alberto Vargas pinup girls. Made of blue lightweight cotton twill with contrasting white buttons and an adorable sailor collar. The halter also connects to the shorts in the front with buttons. Also how cute would those shorts be by them selves with a white halter or blouse. Its like getting two outfits for the price of one! Heather of Loose Teeth's design was inspired by the 1997 movie Lolita, a wonderful movie with amazing costumes.

Loose Teeth also offers adorable halters, I just love how stunning this green and white polka dot 1950's inspired halter is and how it compliments red lipstick oh so well. I would definitely rock this halter with some high waisted jeans red lips and nails and a huge floppy white hat along with pin curls. All of her items are adorable and really well made, with details from the 1940's and 1950's which flatter any gals natural shape.

I have been pining over this little red number for awhile its been in my favorites on etsy since I made an account there. Look how adorable it is, I love the gingham and white together along with the ruched crisp white bust, button detail and a white lace trim at the legs, amazing! This romper reminds me of a Little House on the Prairie meets sexy Vargas pinup girl. You can find all of the items shown here in Loose Teeth's shop on etsy.

If your looking to recreate the classic looks of film stars and pinups from the 1940's and 1950's, Loose Teeth is definitely the shop for you. All of the clothing is designed with a females figure in mine, tailored to your measurements and guaranteed to make you feel like a red hot vixen the moment you put your new garment on.
