Safari

Friday 29 April 2016


Wearing a safari themed dress by Hell Bunny and an Erstwilder brooch that I have been very excited about!




Safari 50's Dress - c/o Hell Bunny
Picnic Portrait Brooch - c/o Erstwilder
Shoes - Miss L Fire
Hat - Thrifted 
Sunglasses - Pared Eyewear
1950's Crystal Ball Necklace - Vintage
1950's Sheer Gloves - Gift
1950's Wicker/Lucite Purse - Gift

I love this new style by Hell Bunny, the design is really flattering and this particular print is gorgeous - it also comes in a tropical version! This fabric is lightweight, which is quite soft and floaty to wear - I don't wear petticoats very often but you could definitely fit one underneath this dress. I am wearing my usual size xs, I am happy with the fit but if you have a larger bust and like a bit more room for shoulder movement I suggest sizing up. This is another great addition to my Hell Bunny collection!

I was so excited to see that Erstwilder was releasing a blonde version of the Picnic Portrait brooch and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Of course I had to style this outfit around the brooch. So I added a hat and my favourite sunglasses. I also mixed some of my vintage accessories and purse to finish off this outfit.

Mixing and matching accessories with outfits is so fun, I wasn't sure how I wanted to style this dress at first and I love how it came together. I usually hang clothes on the back of my door so they are: 

a) Lined up and easy to reach for as these are the ones I am waiting to wear next
b) At eyesight for inspiration
c) So I can quickly grab accessories and hold them against the garment when I think of something cute
d) They just look pretty hanging up

Anyway, I really had fun with this outfit and I think my rambling is probably evident.

I was also very happy to receive my first pair of Miss L Fire shoes recently, I have wanted to try this brand for quite a while and came across this pair for a bargain price. They are a fabulous design and I'm very happy with them so far. I love this 40's style shoe and the huge platform heel, ugh I want more!

Have a great weekend!

  12. This look is absolutely perfect. You have recreated the brooch perfectly! This is the most elegant, sophisticated look I have seen in a repro dress in a long time. And I do the same thing with my dresses, hang them on the back of the door for inspiration and accessory matching.
