Tutti Frutti


Aren't the buttons on this skirt, so cute??
Sorry for showing you my behind (haha).
As you can see, the pleats and folds make this skirt very particular, 
giving it a mermaid-like silhouette.
******************************************************
Scusate il sedere :D Come potete vedere, la gonna ha delle pieghe molto particolari dietro....creando una forma quasi a sirena.
Banana earrings from Shiny Stuff Creations
Feeling Fruity necklace from SBLNGRVLRY

So guys and dolls: eat your fruit, at least 5 portions a day!
 I should practice what I preach.......well, at least I wear lots of fruits ;)))
******************************************************
Mi raccomando bambole, mangiate tanta frutta! Dicono almeno cinque porzioni al giorno. Anch'io dovrei mangiare più frutta.......beh almeno la indosso! :)

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

Minnie Mouse Inspired Look


Hi cats and kittens,

After my Elvis inspired outfits, Lauren Bacall inspired look, now Minnie Mouse is my muse??! Haha don't worry, I'm not going to be wearing mouse ears or anything! The dress I'm wearing in this post is actually a vintage,1940s-1950s style dress and it's not flared out like Minnie's. It is bright red though and there are white polka dots on the top part. I own many red, polka dot pieces and whenever I wear them, friends and even strangers call me Minnie Mouse. It could also be the red ribbon in my hair.....anyway, I take it as a compliment. After all, Minerva ''Minnie'' Mouse is as vintage as can be! She was first drawn in 1928, alongside her mousefriend boyfriend, Mickey Mouse.

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

Ciao gatti e gattine,

Dopo i miei look ispirati ad Elvis e a Lauren Bacall, ora è arrivato il turno di Topolina. Ahah, non vi preoccupate, mica mi metto le orecchie da topo! Il vestito che indosso in questo post è vintage, stile anni quaranta-cinquanta. Non è svasato come quello di Topolina però è rosso e ci sono i pois sulla parte superiore. Ho tantissimi capi rossi, a pois ed è forse per questo che i miei amici e persino sconosciuti mi chiamano ''Minnie'' quando me li metto. Potrebbe anche essere il fiocco rosso che ho spesso in testa ma qualunque sia il motivo, io lo prendo come un complimento. Dopotutto, Minnie è un icona vintage! 
E' stata creata nel 1928, insieme al suo Topolino ;) Più vintage di così!

It's a little baggy in the rib cage area and under the arms but I don't really mind! There are two straps which I tied into a bow in the back, by the way.
  
This Minnie Mouse spins Elvis vinyl records, of course!
Questa Topolina è innamorata pazza di Elvis! ;)

Elvis and Me

In case you haven't noticed, I'm ''slightly'' obsessed with Elvis :) 
Here's a collection of (a few of) my pictures with The King:
******************************************************
In caso non aveste notato, sono ''leggermente'' ossessionata da Elvis.......
ecco alcune foto di me con il Re del rock'n'roll:
^My favorite place is on the couch, with Elvis! ;)
^Il mio posto preferito in assoluto è sul divano, con Elvis! 
Pineapple brooch from Jess Collinge

Rockabilly - Secretary Outfit


 ♫ Hi Cats and Kittens 
Yippee, it's getting warmer! Today I wore my favorite vintage, checkered pencil skirt with a red 1950s-style  sweater. I decided to wear black shoes, a black belt (not in karate haha, I'm so funny) and opted for my black vintage bag to complete the look. I love wearing combinations of red, black and white. They're the perfect colors for rockabilly, pin up style outfits. Now that the weather's nice, I'll be wearing more skirts. Stay tuned for some Mad Men inspired outfits!
******************************************************
Ciao Bambole e Bambolotti,
Il tempo sta finalmente migliorando quì, quindi oggi mi sono messa la mia gonna vintage a tubino con un maglioncino rosso, stile anni '50. Scarpe, cintura e borsa vintage nere per completare il mio look da segretaria rockabilly. Adoro vestirmi di rosso, nero e bianco. Sono i colori perfetti per lo stile Rockabilly/Pin Up. 
Quali sono i vostri colori preferiti? Un saluto e buona settimana!

In the end, I put on my eyeglasses so that I could 
finally see what I'm looking at!!! 

Sayonara for now!
