1950s Mexican style

Hi guys and dolls!

 Hope you are well. I'm very lucky to be still enjoying sunny and warm weather over here. In today's post, I'm wearing two Mexican flavored outfits; many people often think I'm Mexican so these two outfits really bring out the Mexicana in me! :) The first one is my authentic 1950s Southwestern patio dress and the second outfit consists of my red capri pants and black peasant/gypsy top. I'm wearing my red headscarf of course and little red hoop earrings to complete the looks. 

 My little chi is also from Mexico of course so he is just perfecto

for this photoshoot! <3

Ciao a tutti!

Spero che stiate tutti bene. Nel post di oggi, indosso due outfit ispirati alla moda messicana degli anni 50. Molte persone che non mi conoscono mi scambiano per messicana quindi questi due look mettono in risalto la messicana in me! ;) Il primo abito è un autentico vestito "fiesta" del sud-ovest, degli anni 50 ed il secondo look consiste in un paio di pantaloni capri rossi e un top stile gypsy. Fascia rossa immancabile sulla mia testa e un paio di orecchini rossi completano i look. E infine, c'è il messicano doc, il mio chihuahua! <3 Hasta la vista!

Hi guys and dolls!

The other day, I was wearing one of my polka dot dresses and a lady on the street stopped me and complimented my unique style. I actually thought her style was unique as she was wearing a purple jumpsuit and a big, black, floppy hat. Goes to show how everybody has their own distinctive style!

Great minds dress alike!

Aloha Cats and Kittens,

Today's post is different from my usual ''Me, myself and I'' posts. Well, ok, I am partially in this post too ;) My blogger friend, Miss Milla Cherry, who is an Australian pinup doll, interviewed and featured me on her blog yesterday. You all should check her out! I love her style. We've been following each other for a while on Blogspot and Instagram, and I noticed that we have some things in common....including clothes! Below are some of our similar outfits. What's funny is that none of these pictures were taken for this post; these photos have all been snapped in the past, even before we knew each other! 

Here we are, posing in our Banned flamingo print pieces; 

I'm wearing the dress version while Miss Milla Cherry is wearing the skirt:

 Aren't her cardi, bag and belt so cute?? 
My Fernando the Flamingo brooch is from Jess Collinge
Here is lovely Miss Milla Cherry, wearing a skirt that looks very familiar.....

Oh yes, because I have it too. The color looks different but it's because of the lighting. I like how we both wore a white top with this Hawaiian skirt :) 

 Here we are wearing our Tiki/Hawaiian style dresses:

Both of us wore a necklace to match our dress. 

Miss Milla has a splendid flower piece in her hair........

........and I'm wearing flower stud earrings:

Last but not least: wearing our Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses and a flower in our hair to complete the look. I don't know why I didn't tie my shirt in the front as I usually do! I was also wearing high waisted jeans so it's almost a twin outfit! 

Hope you enjoyed this tropical, Hawaiian flavored post! Ciao dolls 

Mad Men Style Wiggle Dress

Hi guys and dolls,

I always swoon over the dresses that the secretaries wear in the TV drama, 

Mad Men, set in the 1960s. I love dresses with collars, bows and pussy bows so when my mother got me this wiggle dress a couple of years ago, I squealed with delight! I've worn it to work but it's also perfect evening/cocktail attire. For you lovely readers, I slipped it on yesterday and pulled out my notepad.

 My typewriter was out of order ;) 

******************************************************

Ciao bambole e bambolotti,

Impazzisco per gli abiti delle segretarie nella serie TV, Mad Men, ambientata negli anni sessanta. Impazzisco altrettanto per i vestiti che indossano le donne nelle serie Il Paradiso delle Signore e Velvet. Come si resiste ad un vestito con un colletto o un fiocco? Per questo ho fatto un salto di gioia quando mia madre mi ha regalato questo vestito a tubino con sia colletto che fiocchetto! Ho subito tirato fuori il mio block notes. La mia macchina da scrivere è fuori servizio ;)

It's incredible how the cut of this dress and the belt make me look much thinner than I am! I did squeeze the belt real tight ;) Often, modern dresses make me look like a blob. It's really true that old fashioned dresses are flattering.

Stressed out secretary (my hair looks stressed out too).

This is how I sit and take notes. It's a very comfortable position.....

Posare come una pin-up è come fare lo yoga avanzato.

Ho usato muscoli che neanche sapevo di avere! :D

******************************************************

I tell ya, attempting pin-up poses is like doing intense yoga. 

I used muscles I didn't even know I had! 

Gotta rush! I think Don Draper wants more whiskey.......

Brigitte Squirrel Dress from Carousel

Hi dolls,

My dress from Carousel arrived!! I nearly kissed the post man!

Carousel is a vintage inspired clothing and accessories store based in Dublin, Ireland. For those who don’t live nearby, thank goodness they also have an online store: www.ilovecarousel.com

Carousel’s style is notably distinctive and as indicated on their website, it ‘‘mixes a blend of feminine, romantic prints with effortless, wearable fashion.’’ In their shop, you will find retro inspired clothing items from their own brand called Circus, and items from other vintage inspired brands, as well as authentic vintage apparel ranging from the 1950s - 1970s.

Shopping at Carousel, you will notice silhouettes of the past, pussy bows, peter pan collars, and polka dots. Talk about classy! 

*******************************************

Ciao bambole,

Il mio vestito di Carousel è arrivato finalmente! Ho quasi baciato il postino.

Carousel è un negozio che si trova a Dublino, specializzato in abiti ed accessori vintage. Vendono sia capi vintage genuini (degli anni 50 fino agli anni 70) che capi ispirati al vintage, come della loro collezione, Circus. Il loro stile è molto femminile, romantico e di classe. Per noi che non abitiamo in Irlanda, per fortuna hanno un negozio online: www.ilovecarousel.com

The dress I’m wearing is the Brigitte Squirrel dress (available here)

 from Carousel’s own collection, Circus. 

Brigitte dress: c/o Carousel

Shoes: Porta Portese, Rome

Hair flower: Brigitte Bijoux

Bag: vintage from mercato monti

My mother ruining my photo shoot!! ;) <3

Lo and behold, did you notice there are squirrels and hearts on this dress?

**************************************

Avete notato che ci sono sia scoiattoli che cuoricini sul vestito?

Questo vestito 'Brigitte' è il tipo di vestito che sta bene a tutte, e l'ho trovato comodissimo. Se sei una donna nostalgica, in cerca di un abbigliamento giocoso e charmant, recativi al negozio di Carousel, dove pure i vestiti hanno nomi retrò (Ava, Vivien, Gina...)!

***************************************************

I’m so pleased with my Brigitte Dress. The quality is excellent. It’s playful, graceful, and flattering. Carousel highlights the importance of looking good and feeling good. Indeed, this is the kind of  dress you can wear all day long, whether sitting down or prancing about. Comfortable and classy….who’d ever think they’d go together?? :)

If you’re a nostalgic lady, seeking charming and timeless attire, take a look at Carousel’s collection, where even the dresses have vintage names (Ava, Loretta, Twiggy, Joan etc.)! You’ll find a thing (or two, or three…) that will make your heart flutter.
