Elvis - Donut Necklace by Milushka


Hi kittens!

In today's post I would like to show you my favorite necklace; a necklace that combines two of my passions: Elvis and donuts!!! 😍 This necklace was created for me by talented and sweet Milushka from Croatia. She puts her heart and soul into her beautiful handmade creations (from Elvis brooches to stratocaster guitar necklaces to cupcake earrings and many more delightful items!) so please make sure to check out her shop on Etsy:

Isn't it deliciously ADORABLE?! Milushka can make this necklace with whichever letters you like, to spell out your name, your idol's name or any other word!

Here's Elvis in my pineapple frame (which my friend Bibi gave me <3) wearing Milushka's necklace :))

Just look at the frosting and the sprinkles....wouldn't you eat this necklace if you didn't know any better?? :))

Vintage Style by Zoey Goto



Hi guys and dolls!

I don't even know how to begin this blog post because I'm so over the moon! Author, journalist and photographer (and huge Elvis fan!), Zoey Goto, has written an amazing book called Vintage Style and can you guess who is featured in this book? MOI! :)

About 4 years ago, I fell in love with Zoey's book Elvis Style: From Zoot Suits to Jumpsuits, which gives you the ins and outs of Elvis' groundbreaking, iconic and influential style, demonstrating how his style continues to have an impact in today's world of fashion and design. Vintage Style is a book that explores the vintage-inspired worlds of today's vintage enthusiasts, digging into the whys and hows of their vintage style, revealing the contents of their wardrobes and peeking into their homes. The book is captivating, jam-packed with engaging interviews and you will discover the different lifestyles of the featured vintage devotees (including me!). 

If you love all things vintage and you are interested in fashion, and if you're looking for some real style inspiration, Vintage Style is a must-have. Let's face it, nothing beats vintage fashion and music. Even modern-day fashion and music is inspired by the past. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been fascinated by music from the fifties and the sixties. That's what real music sounds like to me. As indicated in the book, my mother brought me up on Elvis records and I always watched movies from the golden era, mesmerized by the clothes and hairstyles from that epoch.

In Vintage Style, I reveal when and how I started dressing vintage. It's full of fun facts about me! Zoey asks me to describe my style, if I always dress this way and if I consider myself to be part of a vintage scene or community. She expounds upon rockabilly music and fashion in the book, and also asks me about my musical career. I am deeply honored that she interviewed me for her spectacular book 💖

Vintage Style includes 29 retro lovers!
