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:

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.......

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!
