Lady K Loves- curves!

Hello sweethearts!

I don't dress up rockabilly as much as I used to before. But when I got a parcel from Lady K Loves I thought "Why the hell not?!". It is soooooooooo goooooood to leave fluffy dresses aside and step into bad girl mood.

Lady K Loves was kind to send me their fabulous V2 50's style pencil wiggle skirt in leopard print, black Splendid wrap top and orange square shear chiffon scarf.

I paired my V2 pencil wiggle skirt and Splendid wrap top with a Cry Baby brooch (store not available anymore), bamboo hoops and leopard bracelet by  Lady Luck's Boutique, Black wedges, leopard cat eye sunglasses and big "Amy Winehouse" hair.

BAM! Instant sass! Can't remember when any of my swing dresses gave me that feeling. There is something in curvalicious clothes that gives a girl confidence that she did not know she has. (Contrary to popular belief that it is precisely confidence that you have to have to wear something like this)

Splendid wrap top is beautifully designed! It features a collar you can pop up for a bit of attitude or wear it down for a more demure business look. Like I said, it's a wrap top so front side has fasten wrap around that gives some serious curves! Sleeves are elegant 3/4 length convenient for almost any season.

I must emphasize the quality of this top. Light fabric is super comfortable and firm stitching makes it very durable. I usually wear size M but my top is XS, it is true to measurements on Lady K Loves site so make sure to check out size chart before buying. Skirt is a size S. Both come in a various colors and sizes from XS to XXL.

Now, I know whatya thinkin' ;) That waist- right?!!! Trust me it's the skirt! As soon as I pulled it out of the package I thought "How will I put my bum and waist in that"?! And then the magic happened! This skirt has a true hourglass shape so if you have curves it will accentuate them, if you don't- you will get them! With a slightly longer style this skirt is very authentic 50's pencil skirts. Featuring a back vent, waist band with rear zip and button V2 is, like the top, comfortable and firm.
Did I mention the pockets?!

Wanna be a hot rockabilly vixen this season? Here's where to look for your style:

Lady Luck's Billie Green Orchid & Lilac Lily Hair Flower

Hello sweethearts!

Autumn here can be quite shifty but last month we enjoyed some amazing weather, so I decided to go for a ride on my old bike.

 

For the occasion I wore my custum made green shirt dress, matching sandals, straw hat and Lady Luck's Boutique hair flower and jewelry.

 

 Lady Luck's Billie Green Orchid & Lilac Lily hair flower was a great choice for this outfit! Green orchid matches the color of my dress while lilac lily gaves a nice subtle pop of color.

 

 Oversized Round Tiki Bamboo Earrings don't have to be obliged jewelry only in the summer, with fun hats they can be worn all year round!

 

Tiki bamboo bangle, Chunky bamboo bangle and Twisted Tiki bamboo bangle complement the whole look while they rattle on my arm.

 

 

It was quite windy that day hahaha

 

Like the other Lady Luck's flowers, Billie Green Orchid & Lilac Lily hair flower is also very light and provided with a firm hairpin which ensures that the hair flower lays nice along the head.This vibrant color head piece makes a great statement peace.

 

 Bamboo jewelry is amazing quality, very firm and light. You will not regret buying!

Lady Luck's red Debra Hibiscus

Hello sweethearts!

Babes on this side of the hemisphere did you take advantage of the last days of summer?! I sure did!
I took my new to me Smooch dress for a one last stroll this season.

 

I paired it with red and white stripes earrings and matching bangle, Deer Arrow brooch and Lady Luck's Boutique Debra Hibiscus red hair flower.

 

A while ago I became Lady Luck's Boutique brand ambasador!! That is a huge honor and

blessing for me. I find their hair flowers, bamboo jewellery and tropical accessories amazing so I was quite impatient to get my parcel.

Among all the gorgeous jewelry and hair flowers this red hibiscus immediately caught the eye!

Debra hair flower is a silk hibiscus in vibrant red color. It measures approximately 12 cm so it makes a great statement peace for any tiki inspired outfit!

It also comes in orange too and in many variations so make sure you check the shop here :)

Sumptuous Debra is very light and provided with a firm hairpin which ensures that the hair flower lays nice along the head, so it is very stabile on your hair and it will not fall off.

From time to time my friends find something beautiful for me. That is how I got this dress, from a girl friend that thought it would look great on me. Tag says Linea Domani, so I am not familiar with the brand but I love this frock!

It is a light shirt style dress with buttons that go all the way. Perfect for summer! Can't wait to wear it again next year. Until then my Lady Luck's Boutique Debra Hibiscus will have to complement other dresses ♥

New adventure

Hello sweethearts!

Today's blog post is a little bit different...
I started this blog on May 2015. I found my inspiration in many vintage/pin up bloggers. By the time I decided to start a blog I had a lot of collaborations, lot of photos that were telling a story. I wanted to put that story out there, to tell others why and how much I love some products and brands. We live in a time when everything bad is louder than good, trolls are everywhere and compliments for hard work is hard to get. I wanted to write something nice about people and their goods in the pin up community.
Now, after a few years of modeling and various experiences with many photographers (some good, some bad), I decided, like many bloggers there to invest in a good quality DSLR camera. There are  numerous reasons such as time (I often had to shoot several styles in one day, limited with time and/or weather conditions), money and it became hard to find a photographer that has an "eye" for a certain type of photography.
After a good time of thinking and informing I decided to go with the The Canon EOS 750D, known as the Rebel T6i in the USA. Plan is to buy a lens too when Im able to, probably 50mm f/1.8
Practice makes perfect, so here are some photos I took. Model is my sweet daughter Hana Leona ♥♥♥

 Hana Leona is wearing Milushka jewelry and red gingham dress.

She is a great model, we had so much fun!

These are my personal favorite ♥♥♥

 

So from now on the photos on my blog will be from my own camera unless otherwise stated. I look forward to discovering and learning about the world of photography!

 

 

Love, Eleanor

TRIP TO the UK, part IV: Last days in Eastbourne

Hello sweethearts!

We stepped quite well into the fall here in Croatia and yesterday I celebrated my 28th birthday. It is time to enjoy Sunday and write my last blog post about my trip to the UK in August. I love to reminisce last days in the UK...

After Twinwood Festival, on Sunday morning Aug 28th we took a long trip back from Bedford to Eastbourne. It was cloudy but I wanted to make most of the remaining time and explore the city which I have not yet had a chance.

I was thrilled with the fact that, even though it was cold and rainy, people were outside enjoying! Playing with kids, walking dogs, they were all very relaxed. It was a wonderful day! For the first time I experienced real English weather hahaha

 

I enjoyed a long walk through the beautiful park and streets of Eastbourne... I like the old cottages and that they have names, so interesting!

I even found the house for myself!

 

Next day the sun came up to make my last day in the UK wonderful. The plan was to nose around the shops of the city, but then Eniko's parents came and took me to the most beautiful place in the world!

 

Look at that view! It left me breathless! That is the best thing about Eastbourne, it is a large town, seaside resort but also rich with country park, valleys and amazing landscape! A place where I could spend the rest of my life...

And just when you think it can't go any better I see this:

Beachy Head cliff! This place is incredible! Altough this is an infamous suicide spot and has a lot of small crosses in memory of the deceased, it is magical ( and why the hell would anyone want to end his life in such a terrible way?! Come on people Stop it!).

It is difficult to describe in words the tranquility of this place...Although I have fear of heights I had to peep  down to see the waves hitting the white cliffs. I could see myself walking there every weekend with my daughter... There is so much to learn and explore! As we passed by a group of girls were sitting on the grass listening to one of them playing the ukulele. I totally wanted to join in!

After a lifetime experience we continued with the day on Schedule, but I couldn't think of anything else. I was under the impression of lifestyle there and the fact that the next day I fly home. We had a nice lunch at Harleywood American Diner (with the Obama's and Simpsons ofc hahaha) and spent the rest of the day relaxing, watching photos that we took and drinking coffee...

 
Next morning after freaking out how the hell will my cabing bag fit we took the train to Gatwick airport. It was hard to say goodbye and I could not refrain from tears (don't cry now, don't cry now).

Entering the plane, I saw a series of advertising posters and one caught my eye:

Flying home with Easyjet was a lot better than when I came, this time I actually saw something trought the window hahaha

Now, reminiscing my trip, it is hard to find words of gratitude. I'm on a great turning point in my life and Eniko and Andras changed it for the better. They changed my outlook on life, love and friendship and they did for me more that no one ever has. I did not get just a trip abroad as a reward for my masters degree, but also a priceless friendship and I really can't wait for the moment to see you and hug you again! ♥♥♥

Love, Eleanor
