Zaful Haltered Vintage Checked Dress Review

Hi kittens!

You may recall my past posts about the online clothing, shoes and accessories shop, Zaful. Well, I praised this store once and I'm praising it again because their selection is fantastic and I am in love with their vintage style clothes! Their products are affordable, high quality and delightful. You'll find a variety of styles at Zaful, from edgy, hip and unique dresses to playful, pin up style bikinis. 


Isn't it adorable?? It's so 1950s that I feel like I could boogie woogie in it!!! 
Let's rock around the clock tonight! ;-)
I'm not much of a dancer though. I prefer singing. <3
 The little black and white checkers, the halter style and the length (knee length. Slightly longer on me because I'm not that tall) make this dress a real rockin' beauty. You can see below that the dress reveals part of the back. Perfect for summer!

I am very fond of the sweetheart neckline. Classic and flattering:

 I chose a size M and as you can tell, the dress fits me perfectly. The material is soft but sturdy. I just love this dress and I know I'm going to be wearing it often :) It's comfortable, cute and it makes me feel like one of the characters in Happy Days! The customer service at Zaful is excellent too. I highly recommend their store. Take a look at their collections ladies, if you haven't already! 


♫ Bye for now and have a rockin' August!

FashionMia Dresses Review



Hi guys and dolls,

Can't believe it's already June! Today, I'd like to show you two dresses I received from an amazing online clothing store called FashionMia. You may already know about this brand as it's so popular. Their selection of fashion items is so vast and their prices are so low so it's not surprising that so many ladies are fans! What I love about this brand is that the clothes they offer are so unique and fun! They literally cover every style under the sun but as you already know, I especially love their vintage-style, whimsical and kawaii clothing! Speaking of vintage-style, the first dress I'm wearing below is one of FashionMia's best sellers:
This dress is so classy and original! 
The material is soft and sturdy and the quality is excellent. It came with a little coral colored belt and it's super comfortable. I chose the right size thanks to the useful size chart displayed on FashionMia's site. 
 

The second dress I'm wearing is FashionMia's: 
This dress is also very unique and it has a rockabilly vibe to it! How cool is the black, shiny belt? The belt is actually part of the dress. This dress is soft and very well made too. I'm really impressed by the quality of these dresses. 

Here below I'm wearing my Fashionmia dress while admiring
 all the Elvis goodies that my fan, Steve Hicks sent to me :-)

Both of these dresses by FashionMia are beautiful and special. I'm sure you'll agree that they're perfect for twirling around! The customer service was fantastic so I can only praise this fashion brand. If you have't visited this store yet, I highly recommend FashionMia! You'll be happy and so will your wallet ;-)

Rosegal Dresses Review

Hi Guys and Dolls,

In my previous post, I showed you my Wishlist, bursting with retro-style items from www.rosegal.com and in today's post I'm going to show you two dresses I got from this fantastic, online clothing shop!

Rosegal has a great selection of clothes and accessories, both for women and for men. By accessories, I don't mean just hats, sunglasses and jewelry. You'll even find makeup, party supplies and kitchen tools at this online store! What impresses me is not just the vast variety of items that you can find at Rosegal, but also the affordable prices (and free world wide shipping!) and the vintage-inspired selection!!! You all know how my eyes turn into big hearts when I see anything vintage-style! Rosegal caters to every taste however. Whether you like classic, fifties style fashion or cute, modern, Asian fashion or eccentric, statement clothing, Rosegal will ensure your shopping cart is full :)

Without further ado, here is the first dress I received from Rosegal;
This is the perfect, red, rockabilly, halter dress! 
Look at the polka dots and cute little buttons in the front! <3 
I like how the dress nips in the waist and I love the sweetheart neckline. 
Both qualities make this dress very feminine and flattering! 
As you can see, this is the kind of dress that looks amazing with and without a petticoat, thanks to the 1950s style, floaty skirt: 
Being a halter dress, there are two straps that you tie around your neck, easily adjusting to your body.
Shake, rattle and roll down the stairs! Haha
 This dress is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. It's soft and it has just the right amount of thickness, being neither too thin nor too thick. I'm really impressed with the quality. As for sizing, I followed the chart on Rosegal's website and chose the smallest size, S. The dress fits me to a T so I can confirm that it runs true to size. Lengthwise, this dress covers my knees, reaching a bit below them, which is exactly what I like and look for in a '50s style dress. 


On to the second Rosegal dress!

I chose this dress because of the gorgeous, Hawaiian inspired, floral print! 
I love it because you can dress it up and wear it to a cocktail party or 
you can wear it on a lovely summer's day, at the beach. 
Yes, this dress has pockets!!! <3
This dress is also great quality, made out of stretchy material that perfectly hugs your body in the right places! I chose a size Small, following the bust and waist measurements, indicated on Rosegal's chart and you can see that it fits me perfectly. The dress also came with a cute, little belt made out of the same fabric. Oh, and did I mention that the dress has pockets??

      ....And the Final Verdict is.....


There's nothing not to love about the two dresses I have from Rosegal! The dresses are dreamy, the prices are very convenient, the quality is great, as is the service. Not only is the staff efficient and quick to respond to your queries, can you believe that I received the package in only 4 days?? I'm very satisfied with my experience at Rosegal. I hope you found my review helpful and I'm sure you'll find some eye candy (for you to wear!) at Rosegal.

The Return of the Pineapple Brooch (by Jess Collinge)

It's back. It's exotic and it's ready to hypnotize you. 



Hi everyone,

The sun peeked out so I ran out of the house for some pictures. Here I am, wearing a yellow dress from Gap (found it in London, 70% off!!) and my beloved pineapple brooch by the lovely Jess Collinge (available here). You've seen it before on my blog and you'll keep seein' it because it's one of my favorite brooches. It's tropical, it adds so much to my outfits and it just makes me happy!


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

Ciao a tutti,

Il sole è spuntato, quindi sono corsa fuori, mettendomi questo vestito giallo di The Gap (acquistato a londra, era scontato al 70%!!) e la spilla ananas tanto amata di Jess Collinge (che potete trovare quì). Adoro questa spilla perché è esotica, da un tocco bellissimo ai miei vestiti e mi mette di buon umore :)


Halloween is coming up and Jess has created the cutest, glittery accessories which you can find at her Etsy shop here.
**************************************************
Con l'arrivo di Halloween, Jess ha creato degli accessori glitterati e fantas(ma)tici troppo carini!:


.......BOO! Little Spook and Teeny Spook necklaces

Boo bye for now! ;)

Pretty Flamingo

Hi dolls, hope you're enjoying September. It's my favorite month; I'm a September Virgo ;) Taking advantage of this lovely weather, here I am wearing my Banned flamingo dress and perfect for the occasion, my Fernando the Flamingo brooch from Jess Collinge (www.jesscollinge.com). 
Remember this post on Jess Collinge's pineapple brooch? :) 
These brooches are even prettier in person <3
Here I'm thinking ''What other pose should I do...?''
Fernando wanted to be in the spotlight too!


Have a great week and remember: ''be a flamingo in a world full of pigeons''! Sorry, no offence, pigeons!! 
**************************************************
Buona settimana a tutti e ricordatevi: 
''siate dei fenicotteri rosa in un mondo pieno di piccioni''! 
Senza offesa ai piccioni!!
