Delicate tale by Wiener Creation

Hello Darlings :)


Finally I got all the pics from delicate photosession with lovely Mirna Vukres Photography.

I really love the pics and style. I did collaboration with Austrian brand Goldstuck and Wiener Creation. Weiner Creation is brand established in 2012 by dear Antonia Gruber. Inspiration for their creations are retro era from 30's to 60's and divas like Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor and Jayne Mansfield. Quality of the products and fabrics are at the high level and all clothes are made in EU.






I have chosen something very feminine and very pastel. For one set am wearing peach/pink Lace Dress and gold gliter, peep toe heels by PinUp Couture brand and for another set I am wearing lovely pink Sally top and plaid candy skirt with pink low wedges. I got them in Paris in Aldo shop.





I also used my favourite Orient Round Purse by Banned, from Miss Poppywear rockabilly, retro webshop. Fan is from vintage flea market :)

Tropical Vibe by Vivien of Holloway

Hello Darlings...


Summer is comming, brace yourself - with vibrant colours, summer accessories, mojitos and ofcourse good sunscreen! For a longer time I collaborate with one of the best, made in UK, repro brands in UK - Vivien of Holloway






I've already reviewed their famous tiki sarong dresses, but for this time I have prepared diferent combination, but still with tropical vibe. Beautiful hair accessories and flowers are by Lady Luck's Boutique , specialises in rockabilly and pinup hair flowers, bamboo jewellery and accessories for tiki inspired wardrobe and wooden/bamboo jewelery is made by Bow's and Crossbones, except blue/lucitte hoops made by my dear pin up lady Jillian Dragon Rocha. She has just lounched young jewelery brand called ScandollJewelery. So, take a look and show her some support.
I am wearing Vivien of Holloway, best seller Gypsy Top midi trio. It is made in plain and patterned pure cottons with elasticated neck and puffed sleeves.

You can choose between classic, cropped or midi top. I prefer midi style because it's ideal for warmer weather and goes perfect with high waist shorts or pedal pushers. I am wearing classic Purple Pedal Pushers. Slightly re-modelled and in authentic fabrics, high-waisted, a rivet button and side zip, and with a delicate side slit at the ankle, these gorgeous slimline pants are wonderfully flattering- making the most of feminine curves!
This is perfect combination for walks on the beach, rockabilly gig or just a regulular picnic. 

Hand bag is my fav pink flamingo, by Banned Apparel, brand from UK and shoes are from Zara. It was Zara's last summer collection that I bought in Shanghai. Personaly I like to dig and combine different pieces of clothing, so I combine high street fashion, repro brands, branded pieces, vintage and second hand - all together, for a perfect match. 
In my opinion, that's the essence of style and pleasure of fashion. So, hope you liked my combo, feel free to comment and enjoy early summer days. Silk parasol is also from Shanghai. Oh, it was good bargaining!

Glamour Bunny - brand for cheeky pinup dolls

Hello Darlings,

Finally I found some time for a new blogpost. These days I am all in books and learning for some extra education and just started working as a fashion history teacher in the private school "Logos Moda". I literally teach new stylists, designers, and all other enthusiasts that would love to be in the fashion business. So, if you guys need some style advices, ask a pro. :)

I did an amazing collaboration with one glamorous repro brand with a very catchy and sparkly name - "Glamour Bunny". Glamour Bunny caught my attention a few years ago when I started following their brand. This brand is very feminine but also a little bit cheeky. I think Wanda Woodward, the dangerous lady from CryBaby, would choose it as her favourite brand. This is a brand for rebellious pin up Barbie dolls! Actually, when I take a look into the past, my Barbie and Midge had similar mules.

In its range of fashion, they offer different and many variations of retro and pin up styles. I like to combine feminine style with some alluring elements. For this photo session, which was in our newly opened dinner Big Boys Burger Bar, I have chosen a red dresses. Glamour Bunny is not only a brand reserved for clothing, in its range they have many accessories such as handbags, suits, lingerie and heels. Actually they have an amazing choice of shoes, especially mules. I picked their pretty favourite red cherry mules.




Cherry mules are ideal for the Tina 1950's Retro Pin Up Dress. It is a classic pinup/pencil dress in a sparkly stretch fabric similar to lurex. It’s an ideal party dress that will make you feel like a rockabilly Jessica Rabbit. Because there is a substantial amount of stretch in the fabric, this dress is very flexible in sizing and ideal for feminine curves. The other dress is a classic red hot Julie - Red Pin up Dress. It is stretch jersey dress with a detachable, decorative belt, ideal for summer days. I spiced it up with some gold bangles and a burgundy chiffon scarf. Lovely lilies in my hair are by Lady Luck Boutique brand. So if you need adequate accessories that will go perfectly with Glamour Bunny style, check their flowers. Earrings are by young brand ScanDoll Jewellery, created by my dear redhead mermaid Jillian Dragon Rocha. Check them out on instagram (@scandolljewelry)


I will just add some interesting facts about Glamour Bunny brand. It is one of the biggest British retro pinup clothing brands in the UK, characterized by its glamorous wiggle pin up dresses. Popular with rockabilly clothing, retro clothing and vintage clothing enthusiasts, this brand has been worn by pin up fashion icon Dita Von Teese. I am absolutely thrilled with this brand and their design, which I will adore this summer. All in all enough words, so enjoy the beautiful blog photos by talented Villy V.

Blue Noir

Hello darlings...

These days I started collaboration with vintage inspired fashion brand Lindy Bop. I felt in love with their colorful and creative pieces inspired by the style from 20's to 60's.

My first Lindy Bop dress is 40's inspired, "Celeste" dress.

"Celeste" pencil dress is timeless combination of dark blue lace and satin details. The lace at the top is transparent and has a keyhole, underneath is a solid base in champagne color. The sleeves are wider and trimmed with satin ends that close with six buttons. Very fine dress, perfect for femme fatale/film noir combinations. I am also wearing Jazzafine.pieces full of verve fascinator which is inspired by the forties. Dress is so effective that it can easily be worn without any details.

For recreating noir and subtly gruesome atmosphere we visited abandoned garden, based in Zagreb old town core.

Vintage with a modern twist



Hello darlings...

Today I am simple, in black...

I've been hunting for a perfect 1940's playsuit and finaly...got one!


My style inspiration was simplicity of famous lady in pants and hawksian woman Lauren Bacall.








Summer is near and I was looking for something simple, but elegant and comfortable,casual but feminine, so Miss Candyfloss "Sheila-Lee" playsuit is a great choice for me...now I can run, play, jump, stroll... without a hitch but also look very elegant! The playsuit has a pantskirt that allows comfort and at the moment it's my favourite piece in the closet.


The fabric is a medium weight soft fabric with 3% spandex allowing for magnificent comfort despite the one piece design of the garment. The playsuit has short cap sleeves sleeves, 2 front and 2 back pockets. Belt is also included.



































Jasenka Arbanas and me took advantage of a sunny day (These spring days here are pretty rainy...) and walked along Zagreb old town and photos were created...


I combined playsuit with simple ALDO flats and Jazzafine. pieces full of verve fascinators. I am also wearing my favourite pink flamingo brooch.


Purse is Miss White by Woody Ellen.


























Miss Candyfloss tries to keep it more about the brand than about the people behind it, as what they do is the most important. The results and the feedback they receive from customers is what matters, not the people behind the brand.


They found a style that is beautiful and feminine in; the 40s and 50s style. It is an era that feels like "home" for us. That is the reason why Miss Candyfloss balances it with modern style; 40's-50's with a modern twist.



Miss Candyfloss is a Swedish brand catering to modern women whom love 40´s and 50´s styled clothes, strive to develop exquisite classic feminine garments that are not mass produced. By incorporating care, thought and empathy in every stage of product development they are determined to create unique garments that distinguish from the rest.

Miss Candyfloss’s goal is to be the brand that supplies women unique and wearable apparel products that takes them back to the golden era of the glamorous dames and sexy pin-up styled ladies. Their long-term objectives are to deliver garments that can be worn by mothers and later handed down to daughters.


They are determined to inspire customer loyalty by delivering garments that look timeless yet have a long lifetime wearability. Modern fabric characteristics such as wrinkle resistance, soft hand, launderability, durability and wicking are important aspects for current lifestyles.
It's conceptualized in Sweden by a team of fashion and lifestyle professionals, who sell what they wear and wear what they love. Miss Candyfloss is designed in Sweden and manufactured in Transylvania.



Miss Noemi and Miss Adele (Miss Candyfloss owners and vintagers), were born in Transylvania and feel that it is important to give back to our previous community rather than outsourcing to low cost labor countries. They are very passionate about what they do and work very hard to accomplish goals. In order to succeed with anything in life, you need to put in blood sweat and tears.


At the end of the day, these lovely ladies do not call Miss Candyfloss our job, it is their life. So...choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.


I asked Noemi to give us advice for perfect pin up style, and she said; "I don't really have any pin up style advice. Just be comfortable in what you wear and your style because confidence and high self-esteem shines brighter than any type of lipstick. Nonetheless, you can never go wrong with red lipstick." I agree :)
