Va Va Voom!

I am forever on the look out for the perfect pencil and boobie top. I'm a big hipped, big busted girl who is not afraid to show what I was blessed with and I love finding amazing garments to share with you guys.

This post is a mixture of both Sourpuss Clothing and GetWaisted items and I will be providing links to both.

First I have to start with my new favorite top :

Sourpuss Va Va Voom Skirt Black & White Polkadot Top - 39.90€
 (currently the only place I can find all sizes and colours of this top)
Sourpuss Through The Heart Skirt - $40.00
Iron Fist

Now I was sent two of the Va Va Voom tops and this specific style is an XL. The fabric is soft silky and a dream to wear. The design also makes your bust look BRILLIANT! This is THE boobie top. I would rather this was a size large as it's a little loose but I still adore it more than any other top in my wardrobe. From the small cap sleeve to the gathered bust it is really the most amazing top. 

Paired perfectly with the Through The Heart skirt. This high waisted stretch pencil skirt (worn here in the XL) is a short and sexy little number. I'm a huge fan of the high waisted skirt but until this style I'd never contemplated the front split. This is a perfect fit and really hugs my curves but the outer edge of the split  does tend to pop out a little. I'm not bothered at all by this as the fabric show beneath is an adorable matching polka dot. The split ads a little more sexy to the style in my opinion.

I showed sneak peaks of both this top and the other colour way on Instagram and I have never had so many compliments! It is honestly the best top for my body shape and I think Sourpuss really need to create more prints, more plain colours and even sleeved options of this top.

I'm also wearing my Debstar Design Tiki necklace with this outfit which matches perfectly with the location.


Tiki Necklace - $25.00

Sourpuss Va Va Voom Top in Black - 39.90€
Get Waisted I Heart Marvel Skirt - $50.99

My second favorite of the Va Va Voom tops as everyone needs a plain black brilliant top. This style is the perfect fit in a Large. If you can't tell by the previous few paragraph's I'm totally smitten for these tops! 

Paired with my new favorite pencil skirt created by the awesomely talented Get Waisted! I'm a huge Marvel fan and have this print on everything from my knickers to my pjs. So when I saw this hip hugging Marvel skirt it had to be mine. The design is simple yet so awesome. Made from a super stretchy fabric (I ordered the Large) it has an elastic waist which I chose to hide beneath one of my favorite waist belts.

It's bright, figure hugging and holds in your tummy. This skirt will make you stand out for all the right reasons and is definitely a conversation starter. This skirt is for the very brave as it is super skin tight and really emphasizes your shape. I feel like a million dollars in this outfit! 

What better to pair this bright superhero filled skirt with than the always perfect VAN ESSA Pump from Luichiny in Cobalt Blue - $89.95. This style is my stand out favorite from Luichiny. From the huge high heel, the really comfortable platform and the adorable bow peep toe combo it really is the my ultimate shoe. I will one day own every colour and style from Luichiny, they are the BEST in footwear in my mind. 

Many thanks to my amazing photographers at http://www.robinelk.com/ these two brilliant people just rock my socks off and I always adore working with them. 

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. Plus they have a dinosaur - how cool is that!!! I might have hugged him like crazy after these shots were snapped.

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.


A close up of my Poison Necklace from Debstar Designs. I'm head over heels for this little pedant! So cute! 


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.
