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!

Rétro Chérie - Handmade Rock'n'Roll and Vintage Style Jewellery

Hello Kittens,

Do you remember my older post about Rétro Chérie? This fabulous Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/TreatMeNiceBaby), based in France, is specialized in 30s, 40s, and 50s style jewelry and accessories. All of the beautiful, rockabilly and retro style items are hand-sculpted by the skilled owner of the store, who is not only talented, but a really nice and sincere person. 

Without further ado, here are my three new beauties from Rétro Chérie:

Yes, I also received an Elvis postcard!! He looks really impressed too, right?? ;)

Here are two closeups of the sparkly gold, diamond shaped, music note earrings. You'll be rockin' around the clock if you wear these earrings! ;)

 
I custom requested these chili colored hoop earrings. You can request custom orders at Rétro Chérie, to satisfy your color/shape preferences.

Oh and what can I say about the Red Boomerang Brooch

with that vintage microphone.....Sigh <3

Ciao bambole,

Vi ricordate il mio post su Rétro Chérie? Questo negozio francese è un sogno! Tutti gli accessori stile anni '30, '40, e '50 sono fatti a mano e c'è da perdersi la testa! Infatti, persino Elvis sembra folgorato dalla bellezza degli accessori ;) Bellissimi i miei orecchini e la mia spilla, vero?? Molto rock'n'roll e molto.......

 Rétro Chérie :)

Bye chéries!

Ready Teddy - My Teddy Girl Look

Hi guys and dolls,

I do love my flared out, 1950s style dresses and though I try to look like a pinup girl for my photos, in reality I nearly always wear jeans, especially in this cold weather. I've always been captivated by the Teddy Boy and Teddy Girl style of the fifties. The outfits I'm wearing these days are in fact influenced by this trend but as I'm singing all of Elvis' early Sun Studio songs, now more than ever, 
The King is my number one source of inspiration ;)

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

Ciao bambole e bambolotti,

E' vero che amo i miei abiti svasati, stile anni 50 e provo ad assomigliare ad una pin up per le mie foto, ma in realtà mi metto quasi sempre i jeans, soprattutto con questo freddo. Sono sempre stata affascinata dallo stile Teddy Boy e Teddy Girl degli anni cinquanta. Infatti gli outfits che indosso questi giorni prendono spunto da quel trend ma la mia fonte principale di ispirazione è lui ovviamente: Elvis. <3

My ''tough'' pose. Am I scary enough?

  French Fries on my H&M socks ;)

  ♫ I'm ready ready teddy....to rock'n'roll! ♫

Have a rockin' good week everyone!

Vintage Hairstyle

Hi Cats and Kittens,

I always like trying out different retro hairstyles on my hair and here's one that's easy to create. I use soft curlers, brush them out and then make a victory roll using a section of hair from the front part of my head. I've always wanted curly hair....I guess we always want what we don't have! 

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

Ciao a tutti,

Mi piace sperimentare diverse acconciature retrò sui miei capelli ed ecco uno stile che mi viene abbastanza bene. Uso dei bigodini morbidi e poi creo un boccolo grande (tipo cannolo) con un ciuffo di capelli dalla parte frontale. Ho sempre voluto capelli ricci.....già, l'erba del vicino è sempre più verde! 

Anzi, i capelli del vicino sono sempre più belli!! 

Frizzy hair!!

Mamma mia, che capelli crespi quì!

Instead of my usual winged eyeliner and red lipstick, I created a brown smokey eye and applied clear lip gloss to my lips.

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

Invece del solito eyeliner alato e il rossetto rosso, ho fatto uno smokey eye marrone e ho applicato un gloss trasparente sulle labbra.

Sayonara for now and have a great week

Buona settimana a tutti

Viva la pasta!

Spaghetti and meatballs is one of my favorite dishes. 

Which is your favorite pasta dish??

With amore, 

Spaghetti Pin Up

A Rockin' New Year

Happy New Year guys and dolls!

How did you celebrate? I sure ate a lot.

Then I sang a few tunes and played my beloved Elvis records.

This is what I wore on New Year's Eve:

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

Buon Anno a tutti!

Come avete festeggiato?? Io ho mangiato e mangiato.

Poi ho messo i dischi del mio cantante preferito ;)

Ecco come mi sono vestita la vigilia di Capodanno:

A ''resting'' pose. Swinging them arms and legs around is hard work, you know!

Here's to a rockin' 2016!
