A sole choice

Since I did a number on my knee I've been looking all over the internet for more 'Teer can't walk in those crazy high heels right now' shoe and I've come across some rocking styles. I'm getting better so expect those 6 inch heels back shortly!

I know many of my readers have wider feet so I wanted to share a few funky styles I've recently found from Clarks in the UK along with a few standard styles for my standard width girls.


Carousel Ride - £34.99

I'm loving this leopard print ballet flat as right now flats are my daytime friends. These with my favorite skinny jeans are purrfect match. 



Concert Ticket - £54.99

Classic black Mary Jane style high heel with a very vintage feel. I love the cut out detail and the suede fabric. These will pair with absolutely everything in my wardrobe. 




Scent Flower - £44.99

A bright colour blocking wedge will make any outfit pop that little bit more. From summer dresses to just jeans and a tank top these wedges are super easy to style. 


Smoke Screen - £49.99

Oh how I adore studs! Stud everything and I will be over the moon! Loving the cut out wedge detail and these would be the perfect style shoe for me to walk in right now. 



Scent Eley- £79.99

How funky is this print? So bright and geometric I adore it. I would pair these with my favorite blue jeans and either a yellow or blue peplum top.




Hell Bunny 2013 Review!

The time has come once again for me to slip into a few newer styles from Hell Bunny and tell you my lovely readers about the different shapes, fits and fabrics. 

In the last 6 to 12 months I've noticed a lot more coming out from HB. More shapes, styles and prints. With this variety I thought it was a great time to try on a few new garments and give you the low down. 

To find multiple online shops to purchase these items from other than the links listed please click on the following links for all my previous Hell Bunny posts : Hell Bunny Feature, Tiki Time  and Polka Dots, Monsters and Sailors Oh My! 

I'm wearing all items in a size XL. 


Rosalie Dress - £39.99

A mixture of old and new, pinup and modern styling all rolled into one. This oriental inspired wiggle dress is the bees knees! The fabric lush and sturdy, holding you in and making your curves pop. 



The fit is very tight in the XL as you can see it's almost like it's painted onto my curves. I love the fit around my hips and waist but with the peekaboo bust it seems to be a little too snug for my GG cup bust.

I paired this with the perfectly complimentary orange Wide Eyed pumps the always brilliant Luchiny and I think they work wonderfully with this pattern.


I do adore this fabric and hope that many more styles and separates are made from this or even a few different colour ways. I would own them all! 



An adorable high waisted ruffled pencil skirt that every pinup/retro girl needs in her closet! This style is made from a very stretchy rayon, nylon spandex blend an due to the movement in the fabric I highly suggest you size down. I found the XL in this style really, really roomy around the waist and bottom but I fixed this with a very thick waist belt. I will have to have this style taken in for future wear. 

The ruffle detail both the front and the back of this garment is to die for!  Pairing this black and white outfit with one of my favorite styles from Luichiny the Vanessa. It's a peep toe version of the Eye Doll and I'm swooning for this style. 


Belt - My own

Continuing on with the same fabric the Pauline dress is a super cute mini pencil dress with a pleated bow bust and capped sleeves. The fabric again is very stretchy but for this style I'd opt more to get it slightly taken in around the waist and hips apposed to sizing down ad the bust is perfect. 


This style slightly shows your bra but I actually like the hint of colour peeking through. I'm wearing my own belt as the Pauline dress comes with a thin waist belt but I like the thicker styles myself.

I've been wearing this heaps over summer with flats, cowboy boots and heels! It can go from day to night with ease.

Shirley Dress - £35.99
Belt - My own 

Then lastly one of the most adorable prints I've stumbled across in recent years. Anchors, palm trees and stars combine together to create the adorable Shirley Mini Dress. This is the dress you will want to live in on those super hot summer days.


The fabric is flows and just glides over your skin, it's weightless and really lovely to wear. The little cap sleeves are great if your like me and you like to hide a little of your arms ever now and then. I paired this with a bright patent red belt and I think the combination works perfectly!


The bust was a little tight fitting at first but with the right bra and a little movement this now fits like a dream. I will be packing this in my 'Vegas' bag for sure!

If you want to find a local supplier for any of these items either google the product name or even ask Hell Bunny directly on their facebook fan page.


What's better than one anchor? Two!! I've been wearing this necklace with my 'Smitten' name necklace a lot recently. 

So remember all items are in and XL and if you need any further help just leave me a comment bellow. Many thanks to the awesome dream team over at Robin Elk Photography  for working with me on this an a few other posts. It's always a pleasure to make magic with you guys. 

Also a huge thank you to the brilliant people at The LuWOW  who let me shoots once again in their amazing venue. If you live in Melbourne or visit Melbourne you must get to LuWOW at 62-70 Johnston Street Fitzroy. This venue is not only amazing visually but they have brilliant shows, epic cocktails and the loveliest staff.

Update from the clumsy one!

Hi Guys!

I'm sure you've noticed that I've not written an outfit post since late last month so I just wanted to give you guys a quick explanation.

At the end of Feb I slipped at home and hurt my left knee. This left me on crutches for a few weeks and then very limpy for the rest of the time. I've improved heaps since then but I only started shooting last week as heels are a big no no for me currently.

But last week I got to shoot heaps of garments in one of my favorite locations - LuWOW and I will have two outfit posts jam packed with new pinup garments from Hell Bunny and Sourpuss Clothing!

As of next week on the 21st I will be heading to LA and having a small holiday with my best friend to celebrate my 30th! We are heading to Viva Las Vegas as well so you guys will be getting all my updates and sneak peaks as I attend the festival, shoot and play!

I will be writing a post or two prior to leaving showing you some of my sponsored outfits that I will be taking abroad with me so keep an eye out!

Thank you for being so patient with me during this injury and I will be back in action in not time!

Also while you are here please check out Killer Kurves brilliant Kurves Illistrated blog post where you will
find both myself and some of the most inspiration plus size women in the blog world!

Sleek and Clean Accessories

I'm currently looking at my collection of jewellery (there is a massive amount of accessories and jewels I kid you not) figuring out what I should be taking on my US trip.

I have a huge variety of items that will be packed for sure but I'm also on the look out currently for some less niche pieces and some more classic items as my collection is very rockabilly.

Looking over at Pepper Pink I've found a few classic items that might will pair with a few of my dresses I will be giving you a sneak peak of just before I head off.


From necklaces to bracelets, gold to silver and a variety of rings for all occasions including eternity rings Pepper Pink has it all.



Simple studs to pair with every outfit. White gold pairs with everything perfectly and never classes so these are a go to items for me. 

 

 So elegant, so stunning!! I adore pearls and I'm always on the look out for different style settings and creations. I love the drop effect of these earrings.




Pair this with the drop earrings and you are perfectly accessorized!  I have an amazing black 1940's wiggle dress that these two items would look perfect with. 



 

This is on my 'Wish to be RICH' list!  Love the bold square shape, diamonds and of course the white gold.
 

How I wish this ring came in white gold! I'm really not a fan of gold but I adore the big bunch of pearls on this ring.


What accessories will you be wearing to Viva? Will you be going classic, modern, pinup or something else?






p.s I spent yesterday shooting some amazing outfits at LuWOW so be sure to follow my instagram to see some behind the scenes peaks of what we got up to @teerwayde

The full post will be up asap!
