PUG Lust List

Every month I put myself through torture and lust over all the items in the 'Coming Soon' section of Pinup Girl Clothing. Each season Micheline and Laura continue to outdo themselves with new colour options, prints and styles. So while I sit here and share my lust list I'm also listing one of my kidneys on eBay so I can purchase and wear all of these as soon as they are up for sale.

Featured in this post are my standout favourites from the section and new colour ways of my favorites.

Jenny Skirt in Burlesque Print - $98

I'm absolutely mad about swing style skirts these days and I adore an amazing print incorporated into the design. This super sexy burlesque print was designed by Micheline Pitt and as the pleats go around the skirt you see the dancer goes from dressed to barely anything! I love how the pleats have been worked into the illustration concept and the mixture of colours. The colours featured make it super easy to pair shoes, tops and accessories. All of which you'll find throughout the website.

Renee Dress in Red - $132

Oh holy hell in hot pants!! When I saw the Renee Dress pop up on my Instagram feed I yelled like nutty puppy dog. I've been dreaming of a dress in this style for so long and have never found it. The bust line, the bow, and the peekaboo cut out are brilliant. I want to style this dress up and down, wear it with waist belts and without! So many styling options available.

Renee Dress in Anchor Print - $132

Yes I love the Renee style that much I'd need it in Anchor print as well. I can't say no to any style anchor print and in this style it's a must have. I love the contrasting of the white bow on this style. It really makes the bust line pop a lot more. These dresses will be my summer staples.

Heidi Dress in Mint Pinup Print - $98

Every Pinup Girl Clothing fan must own at least one Heidi Dress. This dress is one of the most comfortable and flattering styles available. I currently own 3 and will be adding more to my collection as they keep coming out. Being a redhead I adore any shades of green and I've been dying to try mint but until now have not liked many styles. This adorable pinup print also needs to come in other items I think, possibly in the Jenny skirt please ladies?

Zoeey Top in Red - $58

The Zoeey top is HOT! With a heat level almost parallel to the Vamp Top this boobtastic top will be an absolute hit. This style will be coming in core colours i.e red, black, white and pink and in cherry print. I love the fact that the red is a much deeper than usual. It makes the fabric more lush and is really stunning!

Mermaid Skirt - $98

As you might have noticed recently I have a thing for Mermaids at the moment and this skirt is at the top of my list. An oceanic pinup scene frames the bottom of this swing style skirt and it is adorable! This will pair perfectly with the Zoeey top.

Basically I want every printed skirt available on the website - that's not too greedy is it?

Doris Top in Dark Green - $58

Then finally my all time favourite top in a new colour option. The Doris is one of my most treasured wardrobe items and has been worn to death in both black and red. I've been crossing my fingers for the last few years hoping and wishing that some other darker shades would hit the web store and my wishes finally came true. Coming soon you will have the option of adding this dark green shade and a bright blue option to your wardrobe.

I'm so excited about these two new colours! If you have an hour glass shape and love to show off your chest, you need to add the Doris top to your collection.

Hot Damn!

I just wanted to share some images I shot while in Brisbane back in August. I went up for an annual rockabilly festival called Greazefest and got to spend 5 days with the absolutely amazing Micheline Pitt! `

I went up to sunny Brisbane to attend the festival and help out/see the sights with the lovely Micheline. While there I got to hang out with the magnificent Fanny Barlow of Dropdead, gorgeous...couture to die for and India Rose!

We worked at the festival for 3 days, did sight seeing, hung out and ate far too much junk food - I now have a huge addiction to Nacho Cheese Doritos due to this trip.

So before I left I planned to meet up with this brilliant Brisbane based photographer I've known online for a while now - Big Fry Photography. To put it simply this man rocks my socks off! A horror fiend, nerdy fella who knows way too much about beer and is an absolute joy to hang with. After drooling over his work for a really long time I suggested we set something up while I was in town and these are the results.

We shot solo, together and then I did a Beer Shower - yes you'll have to see it to believe it!

So solo :

Here are some other shots I love from that weekend :

Behind the scenes with Benjamin Nichols (Big Fry Photography)



And one with Micheline too - so cute!



Micheline and I with our girl Fanny Barlow! She made that brilliant bling bone Micheline is wearing. We are also all wearing some form of Deadly Dames Clothing! I'm wearing the Vamp Dress in polka dot, Fanny wears the same dress in Tiger print as a top and Micheline the Vamp Top and Tiger Cigarette Pants.

Then finally my favorite image from that day, Micheline and I at the end of the festival celebrating with ice-cream - yes we really are that hardcore!

Now its time to start saving to get over to the US and visit her!

Pin Me Up

If you can't tell already one of my biggest addictions is Pinup Girl Clothing. With impeccable tailoring, beautiful silhouettes and styles fit for any retro vixen what is not to love! I may not dress like a pinup every day of the week but when I do this is the only brand I buy!

So armed with some new season stock and core favorites Jaimie Nicole Photography and I headed down to The Tiki Lounge & Bar in Melbourne to create some amazing images to add to this review. This location and the clothing combined are a match made in heaven! All the items I'm wearing are a size XL.

The Gia Top - $42US and Audrey Skirt - $78US

The Gia Top like the amazing Pinup model it was named after is red HOT! I'm wear the Gia in Burgundy. It is a perfect fit, soft and stretchy with lots off room to accommodate my E/DD chest but this would also look perfect with a smaller chest. The long sleeve is a perfect length for the weather in Melbourne right now and this top is so versatile you can wear it with anything from high waist skirts to you favorite pair of jeans.

The Deep Burgandy shade divine, this top also comes in Black, Red, Flesh Tone, Teal and White.

The Audrey Skirt - Absolute perfection in skirt form! This fits my waist/lower rib cage snuggly and is a perfect length just above my knees. It naturally skims over the the hips and the pleats are fantastic. This skirt skims over your hips and the high waist is really sliming. Finished off with a black bow in the same cotton fabric! I will wear this all year round, with stockings, boots and fitted shirts in winter and less in the summer. This skirt also comes in Pink!

My shoes are from T.U.K .- $120US. Now these ruby red babies from the Platinum Collection are not for the faint hearted. I'm still teaching myself to walk in them. The wedge/heel is really unique and the embroidering and corset heel really make these shoes attract attention.

The Doris Skirt Peacock Print - $76US

I've actually be hunting for full A-line skirt for the last year but non have come close to this design. The Doris Skirt is a high waisted full swing style skirt in a peacock print (also available in black) for a closer look at the pattern view product shots on the website. I then paired with my Doris Top - $52US but the Gia Top in black would also look amazing with it. Now i'm wearing this without a petticoat and it drapes beautifully but if you want a more pronounced shape be sure to wear one under in a complimenting colour to give a real swing look.

Featured once more as I'm addicted are the Black Platform Pumps - $57.00US from the DIA DE LOS MUERTOS by T.U.K..

Retro Pencil Skirt -$48US

Finally I have found my perfect pencil skirt! I've tried many but nothing comes close to the fabric, cut and length of this style. I only have one issue - my waist seems to be a little small for this XL so I am taking it to the tailor to make it even more perfect. This pencil skirt is the core item every woman needs in her wardrobe. You can dress it up or down, wear it all year round and in black its so very versatile. Made from a cotton spandex blend it will hug your curves perfectly with a little stretch to the fabric.

I'm wear the now discontinued Natalie top in Leopard, this top does not exist any more sadly. But I have heard that they will be bringing out a new version of this design with some slight changes. My shoes are Bordello by Pleaser kindly lent to me by my photographer.

Deadly Dames Vamp Dress - $98US

I took a gamble on this dress I was not sure about the colour with my red hair or how I'd look in a polka dot print but as you can see it works! This dress was designed to hug your curves and really show them off. I'm wearing the black belt that came with the Doris Skirt to shape my waist more so and a bolero borrowed from my photographer. Micheline Pitt has the most amazing taste and design skills, Deadly Dames is my favorite of all the lines on the website.

Made of a non stretch cotton sateen it fist like a glove. The sculpted bust and fully adjustable straps does wonders for your chest. This also allows you to customize the dress to fit your bust size better. I really like how this fits my body, I'm considering buying one more of this style but I'm not sure if I should get the Vamp in Black, Tiger or Zebra print.

This is only a tiny selection of all the amazing items available right now on Pinup Girl Clothing be sure to check out the redesigned and easy to use website.

Haunted Housewife Dress Review & Sneak Peak

I waited so many months for this dress all the way back to August when I showed the Fall/Spring preview so when I got word that it was online I bought it asap. I had been hunting for the last year for the most perfect shirt/swing dress and what luck Micheline Pitt had already created it.

This my lovely readers is now my favorite dress in my closet!

The Haunted House-wife Dress in Black Stretch Sateen with White Piping and white skull buttons - Could this be any more perfect? I am wearing an XL (sizes come in XS-2X) and its a perfect fit! It fits snugly but still has a little give. The arms are very fitted and have a small amount of stretch. If you own the Doris Top in an XL you will fit just like me in this dress. This dress is also made in Red with Black piping!

Skull Button Detail

It fits like a glove and really makes you feel fantastic, I've worn this out a few times and even on Christmas day, the full skirt cam in handy when I pigged out!

It actually comes with a matching belt but I'm not a fan of skinnier belts with my waist line so I took one of the many black belts I have from my other Pinup Girl Clothing dresses and I think it goes perfectly.

Teamed up with my Glamor Guts Pumps from Iron Fist Australia $112AU which I think match perfectly.

I also can't control my urge to twirl when I'm wearing this stunning dress.

I only got this a week before Christmas but sadly they have all sold out in both colours black and red. But if you add yourself to the waitlist they will email you as soon as they get more stock in. Myself and so many other girls were watching Pinup Girl Clothing's facebook page so we all snatched them up very fast.

Though sadly this dress has sold out you can add yourself to the waitlist so you can snap this dress up as soon as it returns. They also offer two other dresses that have a simular style that I adore just as much as this design.

The Birdie Dress :

in Royal Blue $118US



in Peacock Print $118US

Today Pinup Girl Girl clothing uploaded a sneak peak of new styles that will be arriving by the end of the month here is a sneak peak :

The Audrey Skirt in black and pink, I've been looking everywhere for a good swing/circle skirt so I can't wait for this to come out. This is teamed up with the Pinup Couture Boat Neck Top.

The Pinup Couture Gia Top - Wardrobe staple in lots of colour choices, I love the white and red most of all. Perfecly paired with the Pinup Couture Pencil Skirt in Black & White Pin Dot Sateen

The Doris Top - I can't put into words how amazing the fit is on this stunning item. Now a new colour to add to the collection, green always wins me over. Pinup Couture Pencil Skirt in Black Cherry Sateen is also super cute, i'm not a fan of cherries but it matches perfectly with the new doris top.

Thank you to my blog photographer Micheal Alesich from Lucky & Rice.
