Star Man Giveaway!

As a long time Bowie fan I was absolutely blown away when one of my favourite local designers come to me and asked if we could team up and create a dress paying homage to my favourite Star Man. Better yet we also got to work with an amazing accessory designer and create a bold and bright Bowie style pinup look that he himself would have been proud of.



So for this blog Sarsparilly, Tika's Treasures and I proudly bring the Starman Dress and accessories collection that one of my lucky readers can win! Yes you read that you can win all three David Bowie themed items from this shoot.



I've been shooting and featuring the stunning designs of Sarsparilly over the last few years more recently with the brilliant Harry Potter themed swing dress. There is always something magical about the fabric choices, fit and designs of this amazing Aussie based brand and for this collaboration I knew I had to go a super cute summer style swing to show the most out of this fabric and cut.



The Star Man Dress is perfection. Custom made for my measurements (I got a 2XL and the waist which is a 16 and the 3XL, an 18 at the bust) this style of bust line actually allows me to not wear a bra and the fit is spot on. I opted for the 18 bust to get the best hourglass style fit and the ability to get a custom fit made this frock fit like a second skin.



There are a whole lot of amazing Bowie Prints out there but there is something out of this world about this specific print as it features all of his iconic looks and those amazing poses. The world is not the same without his brilliant creativity but luckily we can hold onto his music and magic and wearing this makes me never forget his brilliance and impact on the world.



I've paired this stunning swing dress with my little faux leather bolero and a locally made turban. Why go plain and boring when you can be inspired by the man himself and take those little fashion risks. I just need a few more bright leather motos and some brilliant thigh high crushed velvet platform boots and I'm set for wearing this all the time. I also love this fabric that much I'd kill for a skirt version as the extra styling possibly would be amazing. From Bowie tees to more structures pinup blouses I'd love to create 100's of outfits.

DKNY Sunglasses - Review and Giveaway!!!! CLOSED!!!

If you follow me on all forms of social media, you might have discovered that I have an addiction to sunglasses. I have over 20 pairs (and only one head!) and constantly update my collection with a new style, colour or print. I usually share all of my sunglasses purchases on Instagram but the latest addition to my collection deserves a full review as it's my new stand out favourite! 

I've been a fan of Sunglasses Shop for a few years now as they have a huge selection of designer brand shades at great prices. With great service, super fast shipping and one of the best search functions I've used in years, I've found my go-to one stop sunglasses shop. This year I've been hunting for a really good catseye style black pair of shades but I've found most too small or overly pointy.

 DKNY 4084 Black 300111 -  $120.00

The search is over!!! I took a gamble on the shape and size and it paid off! These stunning DKNY cats eye frames are absolutely scrumptious. The perfect size and fit for my heart shaped face and just big enough to cover lots of space. I'm a sucker for large style frames but I never want anything too comical. These are perfect! 

With a grey lens and black frame this is my daily pair of shades. The design is so simple and flawless as it pairs wonderfully with everything in my wardrobe and with all hair and makeup choices.

 

 The website itself will even tell you what hair colours and face shapes each pair will suit - how brilliant is that? This style also comes with it's own lightweight glasses case and cleaning cloth. 

I'm being so very careful with these babies and I want to wear them forever. This style also comes in a tortoiseshell print if black is not your go to shade. 

Now for the part you've been waiting for. The lovely folk at Sunglasses Shop have one been kind enough to offer a pair of DKNY sunglasses of your choice for one of my lucky readers!!!! That's right, you will get to select one pair from the stunning DKNY range found here and they will ship it to you directly!  To be officially entered you must like both pages and this will be checked by myself and Sunglasses Shop.

Sarsparilly Review and Giveaway! CLOSED!

A few months back I found out about a brilliant Australian based vintage inspired clothing brand named Sarsparilly.

Sarsparilly was founded in 2010 by designer Maria Murphy with a focus on cute and kitsch handmade, vintage and retro clothing.  Since then Sarsparilly has grown and changed into the store it is today, a collection of fun, feminine, vintage inspired, dresses, accessories and hair pieces.

I was asked to review one of their adorable dresses and my heart nearly skipped a beat when I flicked through their website and found the Look at the Stars dress.

Look at the Stars Dress - $260.00

Red Betty Bolero from Heart of Haute - $34.00

Luichiny Eye Doll Platforms - $89.99

This is one of the most adorable prints I've ever seen. Retro inspired mermaids, sail boats and a stunning water and starry sky adoring this fabric. This dress is 100% cotton and fully lined on both the bodice and the skirt. This is one of the most brilliantly crafted dress I've worn! Now you can wear this with or without a petticoat depending on how you like your skirts, I'm wearing this style without and it still has heaps of fullness.

Tagged as a Medium this is the perfect fit for my measurements. On each Sasparilly house brand garment you will find a detailed size chart so be sure to check them out thoroughly for the right fit. With a size range from 6 to 20 you are bound to find the perfect dress with the perfect fit.

This dress is the perfect shape for to show off your waist and bust but not show too much cleavage. I paired this dress with bright red accessories to compliment the print.

I can't get enough of this print and wish I could have it in shirts, swing skirts and every possible accessory! Now I'm very excited to tell you my lovely readers that Sarsparilly will be offering one very lucky reader a dress of their choice from their website. 

By entering this giveaway you will have to chance to win your choice of dress from both the in house Sarsparilly collection or any other styles in stock. So you can choose this adorable mermaid print or one of these rocking styles bellow. 

Dorothy Gale Dress - $225.00

Oh My Darling Dress - $85.00

Candy Apple Rain Dress - $260.00

Candy Apple Heart Dress - $95.00

I'm smitten over pretty much all of these dresses but I think I need the Candy Apple Heart and the Oh My Darling dresses in my collection asap. Such perfect prints!

Rox it! - CLOSED

Fresh from the mail man and onto my face I could not even wait another moment to snap these awesome sunglasses and announce a little something special for you my readers. So excited that I could not wait another moment and had to snap away with my trusty iPhone!

Now I get a lot of questions about my sunglasses across social media and mainly on Instagram as I tend to take a lot of photos wearing them. I think sunglasses can make or break an outfit and it's all about having the right shape and colour for your face and skin tone. 

Sunglasses Shop is a one stop shop for you guessed it - Sunglasses! They are jam packed with designer shades and other brilliant more affordable brands. I went with a style I've been fond of for a while now the 'over-sized frame' as it seems to suit me the most. 

Roxy ALEYNA Sunglasses - $97.20

Now I've never purchased anything Roxy before as I've always associated the brand with surf wear and that's never really suited me. But after browsing all the styles on offer from this brand at Sunglasses Shop I've got to say I'm in love! 

The ALEYNA style is big, bold and exactly what I've been looking for in a pair of sunnies. They are sleek and chic with a large enough frame to fit my needs. You see I'm either a cats-eye frame or over-sized frame kinda girl and these are the perfect size for over-sized. 

These are brilliant daily, matches with everything and suits every need style glasses and a must have for anyone who is a big fan of the Butterfly or Large Frame style.

  

Design and Frame Specs : 

These Roxy sunglasses are a classic feminine design. Ideal for the fashion conscious these are a great modern take on the iconic "A list" over-sized style that is so popular this season. The arm detail adds a luxurious edge.

Lens Colour: Grey Frame
Shape: Butterfly
Frame Colour: Black

 

The fantastic people at Sunglasses Shop have been kind enough to offer you my readers the chance to win a brand new pair of Roxy ALEYNA's  just like I'm wearing in these images!!
