All things 1950s :)

1950s feminine & rockabilly styles...I can't help but love all that! And I know a couple of friends of mine who love this era, so this blog is dedicated to their lovely selves! :)
Full skirts & pencil skirts means that there's something to suit everyone, and the continuous evolution of fabrics means that there's something to suit YOUR personality!

Now, there is one brand in particular that I have to mention due to my friends' love for it! 'Vivien of Holloway!' Known for their absolutely beautiful dresses, Vivien has pretty & glamourous styles right through to the funky rockabilly style...so take your pick! Here are some images of their amazing talent...

Visit their blog on the link above.





I can't decide what I like best?! The pretty girlie style of the full dress, floral prints and true vintage style or the sharp, strong woman look of the rockabilly pencil skirt?! So I'm not going to decide! I mean think about it...when you wake up, you never know which alter ego is going to come out that day when you go to get dressed, so why not have both of these in your wardobe in preparation & go with the flow of the day...how you dress should be natural to you at the end of the day.......be yourself! Whoever it is!






If you fancy just a small piece of 1950s style, then get your hands on this cute little make up mirror - it could make a great gift too?!


For £6.99 this gorgeous little thing can bring some glam back into your makeup bag!

I hope this has inspired you to give the 1950s style a go! It's all so cute, how can you resist?!

Fashion Ga Ga is BACK!

Where did I go?! Well to be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself! But anyways, I'm back, I'm graduated (BA Hons Fashion Marketing! Wahoo!) & I'm more determined than ever to not waste away the days of freedom I currently have!



So, who fancies a lovely little fashion find?!


Get Cutie!....Spotted this unique brand via an advert they had in the back of Elle magazine (Issue May 2010) as I cut out random images to create a collage to go into a photoframe for part of my friend's birthday pressie! :)


The advert is literally made up of 4 simple images of clothing items from Get Cutie. Such simple images because the clothing speaks for itself & is what caught my beady little eyes!

The clothing has a real vintage feel to them, yet they are twisted up with a modern style with the colourful & bold fabrics!










Skirts, dresses, men's tops & an adorable children's range! No one is forgotten about! Get Cutie also do some amazing accessories & homeware! So there's plenty to choose from, whether you want to dress yourself, someone else or your home up :) the accessories would make great gifts!























I'm actually loving it! Such statement pieces that can be a conversation starter!


And the great thing is, they say 'If we haven't got it in your size or fabric then we'll make it.' Perfect!





So make sure you go and have a sneak peak at this lovely unique brand!..xxx
