Love From Pixie

For years I've loved the classic pinup updo/bandana combination but I've never really been able to perfect it.  Well so I thought until now!!

Love from Pixie is a hair accessory range available at Pinup Boutique and they have created the no fuss, stunning and simple to wear range of bandana's. Made from adorable cotton fabrics and features a wired bow so you don't have to worry about getting it tied perfectly, it will stay put all day long!

Red Polka Dot Bandana- $15.00

My stand out favorite as the polka dot print is adorable. Now all I need is a top, cardigan and dress to match up with this headband. 

White Bandana - $15.00

Some classic colours and styles to suit just about everything in your wardrobe. White for nautical outfits and pastels. 

Black Bandana - $15.00

The black the core shade to suit pretty much everything you could possibly wear. I wear black mostly so this  one is perfect in my collection.

Right now you can also find leopard, pink gingham, red or black polka dot and cherry print with lace trim. Just check out the Hair Accessories page.

For these shots I did a simple hair style many small victory rolls/curls all over my head but leaving room for the bandana to sit flat at the front. You can also wear your hair down with these headbands (just fold the largest area over in half) and with a high pony tail.

Pretty Preppy

I have a mad love for cardigans and recently I've been lusting after preppy style jackets and cardigans. So I have been searching far and wide for some really cute and basic preppy knits but I've had no luck finding great styles for women. Faith21 briefly had one style up online but as per usual it sold out instantly.

Then while was surfing on New Look I found two styles in the male section that would be perfect for the looks I'm after. I've never had a problem wearing men's cardigans and these are too cute to ignore. I will buy a medium in the males section as my waist and bust measurements are very close.

So I've put together two looks which are all available on New Look, this is how I would wear these preppy cardigans. One look going with basic black and my usual staple, the pencil skirt and the other a more playful, cute outfit. The sizing ranges from a UK 6 to 18 and there is also a plus size range that goes from 18 to 24 called Inspire (they both have different size charts).

Now which shall I buy?

Bows for Grown Ups!

Bows? Cute little accessories that everyone can get their hands on yet for some people, myself included we often avoid wearing them as we think maybe we are too old. A sweet little bow in your hair is it toddler chic or just cute?

I do admire bows, the styles, the 1000's of designs out their and recently I've found a company who mix some very cute designs with skulls and pvc - oh my! Featured in this blog are the wonderful designs from Kustom Voodoo.

With the idea of not trying to look too 'little girl' in mind I've come up with a few ideas on how to wear a really funky bow and still look like an adult. The bows I've used today are linked here:

Wine Rose Flower
Daredevil
Atomic Blue Glitter

Put this bright and funky Atomic Blue Glitter bow on your favorite cardigan or top and use it as a brooch. Wear with all black so it really stands out.

Wear the Wine Rose Flower in your hair or as a brooch I've done both!

Now with the Daredevil I ordered two so I could make them into shoe clips. This is by far my favorite of the set! Bold print, fantastic style and so true to its name! The easiest way to change the look of your favorite pumps or to just bring a pop of colour! Just clip the backing onto your strap (I've attached these to the T-bar strap on my Mary Jane's. I've also used the blue skull bow here. Don't they look fantastic on patent leather?

These items were shipped and received within a week. Perfectly packaged and protected and the customer service was fantastic!
