Wishlist Wednesday #8




1) Regina Vintage Polka Dot dress by Collectif, £25 (on sale at the moment!)
One of the things I've loved about Collectif's Spring/Summer collection this year is how much of it is pastel colour based. If you read last week's Wishlist Wednesday, you might have read about my complete obsession over pastel colours so it's not really surprising that *here I am* again still going on about it, woops. Anyway, this dress is utterly gorgeous and although it's utterly saddening to think it won't be that long until Summer is over, I am determined to have this in my life to see me through the last warm-ish days we have left in the UK. A key feature of this dress which I adore is the sleeves which gives off a bolero style vibe.

2) Erstwilder's Dolly's Diner Americana Red brooch - Audrey Star's Boutique, £16.95
I've yet to own a Erstwilder brooch but I've been lusting after them for what feels like FOREVER. They are always so cute; a mixture of kitsch and quirky designs that are ideal for adding fun to any
outfit. I found it hard to pick just one of these brooches so please just assume that their ENTIRE collection is on my wishlist, except that this diner one is definitely at the top of this list right now.

3) Miss L Fire Nevada Pastel sandal - Campbell-Crafts, £80
Miss L Fire shoes are just far too expensive for me, wahhhh. I know I'll invest in a pair at some point but I can never really justify spending the money. I bloody love this pair and even though they are on sale at £80, I still can't afford them. It's just one of those things you have to lust at from afar. To be fair, I do that with most of their shoe collection but I really love the mixture of pastel colours on this pair.

4) Yellow Dee Dee dress by Pinup Couture - Pinup Girl Clothing, $160
Uh, can we talk about how PERFECT Junebugs and Georgia Peaches collaboration with Pinup Girl Clothing is?! I genuinely think it's a life goal to work with a brand like Pinup Girl Clothing so I'm totally envious but at the same time so excited about this because these two ladies have the most perfect taste ever and so do the team at PUG. It was hard to choose a dress I love the most out of the collection of dresses so far but I *think* this Dee Dee dress nabs it by just a bit. From the cute pastel yellow (which goes perfectly with the Miss L Fire shoes by the way) to the detail in the dotted trim, this dress is definitely perfect for a 50s daytime look. Also, aren't those puffed sleeves and Peter Pan collar just adorable?

5) 'Marlene' Floral Day dress - Lindy Bop, £34.99
I recently bought two other colour ways in this new Lindy Bop dress (reviews will be up on the blog soon) and I'm in love! I've been looking for a dress in this style for SO long at an affordable price and I was ecstatic when I discovered this new addition to their website. I'm now determined to own all of the patterns and I really hope they design more. How perfect would a pastel pink gingham pattern be? eeek,

6) 'Paris' dress - Bernie Dexter, £110
I'm not sure if I'll ever own a Bernie Dexter dress to be honest which is why this is on my wishlist. They are very expensive so as much as I REALLY WANT a Paris dress, I just can't go splurging £110 on a dress, which doesn't actually look too dissimilar from the new Lindy Bop 'Marlene' which is obviously a lot cheaper. However, this Bernie Dexter comes with lipstick pockets which the idea of makes me so happy. The shelf bust detail is also appealing to me as well as the fact the dress is made in the USA so the quality is bound to be great.

So that's this weeks wishlist! Hopefully, I keep on making this a weekly thing as I know I've been a bit slack on this recently.

Wishlist Wednesday #7





Ugh, I've wanted this top for weeks and I have been 'umming and aaaahing' over it over the past few days. It's such a gorgeous pink colour that goes with so many clothes in my wardrobe, so I'll know it would become a staple choice. I never used to be such a fan of spanish style clothing but the more I see it incorporated into the pin-up world, the more it grows on me
.
2) Betsy Swallow bag by Sourpuss, £43
Sourpuss's range of bags are simply divine; they ooze class and sophistication and make a beautiful addition to anyone's wardrobe. I'm in love with this colour but honestly, I'd love to own all of the colour-ways because I'm selfish and greedy like that. I don't really have much of a bag collection as such, so I'd love to build one and my next bag related splurge will be via Sourpuss!

3) Tropical flamingo brooch by Luxulite, £16
Luxulite are a jewellery brand who are well praised in the pin-up community and rightly so; their eclectic mix of quirky and kitsch brooches, necklaces and earrings are absolutely made to finish off any outfit. I love this brooch in particular, you may have noticed that I'm a lover of flamingos (not sorry) but I'm totally drawn in by these colours.

4) 'Cheronda' blue swing dress by Lindy Bop, £29.99
This gorgeous swing dress reminds me ~in a way~ of the Pinup Girl Clothing 'Harley' dress, probably just because of the neckline. For me, I'd have to add a belt to this dress to break up the colour but aside from that, it's fantastic, cheaper alternative to the more expensive 'Harley'.

5) 'Wanderlust' flamingo bikini by Banned, £25 top & £20 bottoms
I'm hopefully going to be going on holiday later in the year and so I will be looking to get some new bikinis in. Now, Hell Bunny have some beautiful retro bikinis in their summer line this year but then I also discovered Banned's. Yes yes yes, I am obsessed - to the point it's probably tacky - wi


I've just ordered the AMAZING cigarette trousers by Collectif in this print and so now obviously, I have to have this skirt. I don't own any pencil skirts and I want a collection, pronto.
