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.

Pinup Boutique December Photoshoot!

Recently I had the pleasure of modeling for one a company I've featured numerous times on curves to kill - Pinup Boutique. 

Pinup Boutique is an Australian online one stop pinup shop with everything you could possibly want or need to achieve that perfect retro look. We shot so many dresses, skirts and tops but these are my stand out favorites. We snuck in a little Christmas cheer into a few of the images as well to get into the December spirit! 



After this shoot I have to say I'm a full blown fan of halter necks dresses. I'm usually not very fold of them but these the Sweetie dress is a perfect fit in an XL. The fabric is lush and almost like a thin version of flocked felt, the print is adorable in black and white. I really love how the bust sits and with the minimal support of a strapless bra the halter is actually keeping my chest high and in check.




A combination I've never contemplated until now but I'm loving how the pale pink and leopard pair together.  I'm wearing both items in a size XL and I found both to be a perfect fit on my measurements.  The leopard tank is rather long as you will see once you click the link so it can be worn both under and over skirts. I was hesitant about wearing such a pale shade on my lower half to begin with but I'm loving it now! The gathered sides make your hour glass shape pop even more. I also modeled this style in leopard which is just as hot.




The perfect little summer day time frocks in an adorable print! This style is not usually my go to dress but I really adore the little features on it. The small capped sleeve, the peakaboo neckline and piping are adorable.   While I'm a big fan of the wiggle dress I think these styles are needed for the Aussie summers when it's scorching hot and you need something that does not cling to your skin. I'm wearing this style in a Large.




My stand out favorite of all the Sweetie dresses. The pale blue and retro print on my pale skin - oh it's a match made in heaven! As I said earlier this dress in the XL is an outstanding fit. The Big Bow belt is the perfect accessory for this dress, almost a ribbon on a perfect gift  - if that gift was an awesome dress!  




Floral summer dresses have my heart. From the twirling circle skirt and the fitted waist to the stunning yellow and blue/grey print. This dress has date night written all over it. I felt amazing while wearing this and would love to ad it to my collection. Again I'm wearing this and all but a small few in a XL.



The top that I've been drooling over for weeks and I finally got to wear it! I'm smitten, so smitten for this Turquoise beauty. It's the first button up top that I've been able to wear and not have any issues with fit. It's adorable, has the funkiest print and even has a pussy bow feature at the collar. I loved this that much I had to purchase it and take it home. I can't wait to wear it with high waisted jeans asap. We paired this with heart of glass black lace skirt and it goes together brilliantly. The skirt fits like a dream! Both items are size XL. 


Lacey Cherry Blossom 'Cross your Heart' Dress - $95.00

Another super high neckline - what's going on Teer? Here is the perfect work friendly summer dress. I don't always show off ample amounts of cleavage so every now and then I love dresses like this in my closet. This like the Cherry Blossom print is in a size Large and fits perfectly. No squishing and it's completely comfortable. This could rock in both the warm and cooler months with layering and tights. 



So stunning, so delicate, so deelish! Such a brilliant statement dress and something I would wear on a very special occasion. This dress is elegant, classy and makes you feel like a million dollars as soon as you slip into it. My favorite features have to be the scalloped lace and the jeweled matching belt. The fit of this dress is great but I would take it in an inch or so at the waist as the XL is a little roomy there on me. 



We had to sneak a little more Christmas cheer in to the shoot and what better to pair it with than the fresh cherries print. I've always been a huge fan of the Aimee dress and this is print is stunning. The most adorable cherries printing on a soft white cotton. This dress is so dainty and feminine and I think I need to purchase this asap. I'm wearing this in an XL but I would size down when I purchase this for myself it was very roomy around the waist and bust. This should sit firmly and show off your bust and waist.

So get onto Pinup Boutique and get your hands on these and more amazing items! You can even find more images of me via the website. If you have any questions about any of the garment I've shown here or others that I'm wearing on the website, just leave a comment.
