Wishful Wednesday!

It's Wednesday again and I find myself in the middle of another busy week.  Fourth of July was fun and festive.  We spent time with friends, enjoyed good food, watched fireworks and celebrated our great country!  As summer moves forward the surrounding countryside is beautiful, alive with wildflowers blooming and green leaves everywhere.  Today's Wishful Wednesday is a simple pretty summer look that could be worn for any occasion.

Trashy Diva offers a collection of vintage-inspired frocks featuring styles from the 1930s, '40s, and '50s ranging from size 0 to 24. Their design inspiration not only comes from vintage clothing but also from Trashy Diva customers and the women they employ.  Such a gorgeous selection of beautiful styles and prints to choose from. The Apple Tart Dress is blue and white Seersucker featuring a ruffled bodice, skinny straps and a fully gathered 8 panel circle skirt with pockets. Dressed up or down this frock is delightful, a fresh, sweet summertime look for .  I would add a Malco Modes Jennifer Petticoat in Red to add interest, volume to the full skirt and beautiful contrast.  Malco Modes have the best petticoats I have worn.  I own several vintage and new Malco Modes pettis and I love them!!!

Baccurelli makes the most amazing brooches, necklaces and accessories that make you feel playful, happy and most of all FEARLESS.  Each piece is designed with love to be eccentric, over-the-top, irreverent and playful, perfect to show off your unique, personal style!  I could not chose just one of their fantastic brooches to showcase with this outfit.  I love the Frida, Rosie and Ava brooches, the characters are iconic, exactly right to finish any vintage inspired look or add a fun focal point to any outfit.  No outfit is complete without a pretty hair accessory.  This Unique Vintage Retro Style Red Floral Hair Wrap would top this look off in a cute stylish manner while protecting your hair from the harsh heat and wind of summer.

Remix has been featured here before.  I am enamored of their large selection of vintage shoes.  I would wear their Veronica Heels in Red as the finishing touch.  The epitome of sexy sophisticated 1940s style they feature a high platform, ankle strap and peep toe.  I think the combination of red with the sedate blue and white seersucker dress is dramatic and lovely.

Let me know what you think, what is your favorite part of this look?  I hope you are enjoying my blog as much as I love bringing it to you.  I have many exciting collaborations coming in the next few months, lots of exciting new products and I'll be sharing my journey as I participate in my first Pinup competition at The Grand Rapids Metro Cruise!  Stay tuned!!!

Wishful Wednesday

I love fashion!  I love retro classic styling, beautiful prints, whimsical accessories, bright fun petticoats, and vintage styled shoes. I dream of owning closets full of items to style every outfit I can imagine, that's what Wishful Wednesday's are for!!   Each Wednesday I will showcase the outfit I dream of putting together and what fashion brands and items I'm dying to get my hands on. 

Today I am featuring the Pinup Couture Ella dress in Mary Blair rose and lip print, Lavender.  I'm absolutely in love with this dress.  The cut, the style and the rose print all scream Sleeping Beauty to me.  I would wear it everywhere!!  I'm loving the new Mary Blair line, so whimsical and fun!!

I would pair it with the Malco Modes Jennifer Petticoat in hot pink underneath for contrast.  I love the fullness and feeling of the malco modes petticoats, they're high quality, fun and affordable!

I'm absolutely crushing on practically everything by Erstwilder at the moment!!  A menagerie of kitschy animals, americana, rockabilly fun and all affordable.  I am especially loving the Shake, Rattle n Roll, milkshake brooch.

Roses are my favorite!!  The scent, the timeless beauty and many pleasant childhood memories with my Grandmother.  I love Glitter Paradise, her line is authentically retro looking, hand crafted and magnificent!!  I would wear the Rose earrings and ring in red with this dress because I love the contrast of the red roses with the pink roses, red lips and lavender on the dress!

Remix shoes!!!!  Ohhhh, they're to die for.  Now I'm a clumsy girl so I generally opt for wedges or chunky heels.   I love the Gloria in white, they're lovely, very versatile and wearable for walking outside on a beautiful spring day!

I recently discovered Pop that Cassette and they have won my heart!!  They make the most adorable accessories and each piece is so unique!  I would love to wear this adorable blue glitter sweetie bird piece, it fits my songbird personality to a tee!!

I hope you have enjoyed this first Wishful Wednesday.  Tomorrow I will be reviewing my first Erstwilder brooch and I also have reviews of Bearpaw boots, Lady Vintage dresses and Malco Modes petticoats in the works for you!!  Have a gorgeous day!
