Book Review: Ghoulish Glamour

October 21, 2021, 1 Comment

I was at a Halloween event when I was introduced to the stunning woman of this book. We met through a mutual friend, and I instantly was in awe of her beauty and her incredibly kind and bubbly personality. I learned she was a make-up artist, and over the years have become her friend and been…

Recently they launched a glittering bangle collection and I was gifted a set in…

Retro Closet Staples from Collectif

Recently I was contacted by UK based retro inspired clothing brand Collectif to do a product review. Because I often get questions about where to buy vintage inspired clothing, especially where to get 40s style pants and plus size garments, I enjoy working with and exploring these types of brands. Let’s talk about sizes and…

Glitter like the Galaxy with Once a Moon and Your Moon Phase Accessories

Almost every aspect of design in the 1950s and 60s was influenced by the Space Race. Think about the rocket ship like fins on cars, the atom style design of my dish pattern Franciscan Starburst, and the Sputnik inspired designs of many lamps. This intergalactic styling is something I’ve always loved about the mid-20th century…

Wardrobe Shop Review

September 30, 2017, 1 Comment

Recently I collaborated with Wardrobe Shop, an on-line retailer specializing in vintage inspired clothing, but with an emphasis on older decades, such as the late 1800s, the early 1900s, and the 1920s, an area I’ve been wanting to expand upon more in my wardrobe. Lately I’ve been feeling the whole 70s does Victorian, and putting…

A Perfect Match! CLOSED

Most product reviews I do here on the blog are typically from one of two types of companies; ones I have never heard of, or ones I have heard of, but never purchased from. So today’s product review is different in that I am reviewing something from a company I already know and love, Match…

Recently I was contacted by Vendula London, the makers of extremely funky and unique bags, to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their purses from their latest Spring/Summer collection.
