Atomic Swag

Ciao everyone, or I should say ''Howdy'' today! ;)

I'm sure you've heard of Atomic Swag, a California based company that designs and sells the best retro and vintage reproduction T-shirts ever!

What, you haven't visited this shop yet?? Well hop on your horses and giddy up over there (www.atomicswag.com)! Atomic Swag tees are sellin' like hotcakes and it's no surprise; not only are these T-shirts printed with a variety of beautiful vintage designs that'll take you back to the fifties, they're also made the old fashioned way. Made out of 100% cotton, these tees are pre-shrunk and super soft. The nostalgic images are drawn with water based inks so rest assured that the illustrations ain't going nowhere. My cowboy's staying put!

Here I am wearing one of Atomic Swag's top selling tees:

 the Texas State Souvenir Ladies Tee. Isn't it so much fun??

My rockin' mamma, SaucySiciliana, who always wants to appear on my blog, is wearing Atomic Swag's Long Beach Road Race Ladies Tee. She's wearing a size Medium and as you can see below it's a little looser than the size Small I'm wearing, but my mama likes her shirts more relaxed so we're two happy gals.

So many people were eyeing our shirts as we were walking around. Not only because you don't see many cowboys in Italy but because the colors and the designs of these tees are so attractive!

Here I am with a couple of Italian stallions ;)

Ciao a tutti! Le bellissime magliette che mia madre -deve sempre impicciarsi!! :)- ed io sfoggiamo in queste foto sono di Atomic Swag, una marca Californiana specializzata in T-shirt retrò, con stampe mooolto vintage. Queste tees stanno andando a ruba ed il perché è ovvio. Le magliette di Atomic Swag non sono solo retrò, sono fatte pure in manierà retrò! 100% cotone, pre-ristretti e l'inchiostro usato è a base di acqua, quindi le immagini non sbiadiscono. E che immagini! In questo negozio troverete altre magliette divertenti con immagini nostalgiche di ragazze pin up, dal Nevada alle Hawaii. Offrono anche magliette per uomini e bambini e il servizio è davvero impeccabile. Tre aggettivi per descrivere le tees di Atomic Swag: retròissimi, accativantissimi e morbidissimi. 

Grazie alla spedizione in tutto il mondo, adesso un po' del vecchio West e la California Long Beach sono arrivati in Italia :)

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

If I had to choose three adjectives to describe Atomic Swag Tees, I'd say: so retro, so eye-catching and so soft. So is an adverb, right?? My mom and I just love the fun, old school prints, the excellent quality and the flattering cut of these tees. 

You'll find many other playful, vintage style, Americana T-shirts at Atomic Swag, including images of pin-up girls, Davy Crockett, wild cats and much more. It's like a dream shop for vintage lovers! Tees for men and kids are available too and to top it off, Atomic Swag's staff is so friendly and sweet. Thanks to worldwide shipping, a bit of ol' Texas and Long Beach California has come to Italy :) 

Stay tuned for new designs by keeping your eyes glued to Atomic Swag's site!

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.
