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. MUAH by me.

"Royal Palm" sarong dress

Hello darlings,


In today's post I proudly present you my collaboration with one of the best vintage brands in Europe - Vivien of Holloway.








I've always been a big fan of their creations, especially 40's style dresses . I just fell in love with their sarong dresses with wrap skirts and matching boleros, that are perfect for my "hourglass" body figure. I also adore tropical and tiki prints/style but here in Croatia you have to dig for dress/fabric of this sample.





(sarong/wrap skirts)

















All Vivien of Holloway floral sarongs are inspired by 1940's starlet Dorothy Lamour, who starred in a number of South Pacific-themed films and musicals back in the Golden Era.













Accessories are style essence so I am wearing blue "Royal Palm" dress with amber jewelry set, red sandals ( hick heel, Carmen Miranda style) and RockRockabilly hair orchids.

A life-long Fifties lifestyle and fashion enthusiast, Vivien began sewing vintage-style clothes for herself at a mere ten years old. At eighteen, she opened her first shop in the world famous but now sadly gone Kensington Market, selling her hand-made 50s reproductions to fellow followers of 50's fashions. Many satisfied customers later, we can fast forward... oh, a couple of years to 2000, when the Vivien of Holloway brand was born, and Vivien's signature Fifties style soon took the world by storm.

Our focus has always been on producing beautiful dresses and separates with all the look and the charm of authentic vintage, but in a range of sizes to fit and flatter modern figures and ease of care to suit modern lifestyles.

With period perfect fabrics and cuts only slightly adapted from genuine vintage styles, in Vivien of Holloway you can be transformed into a cheesecake pin-up, a femme fatale, a saucy Mad Men-era office girl, or a WWII working girl – the choice is yours! All our clothes are proudly made in the UK and are loved by well-dressed women (and men!) across the globe; from rockabilly gals and swing dancers, to re-enactors and even celebrities! As well as producing gorgeous vintage-style clothing, we also pride ourselves on good old-fashioned customer service. For us, it's not just about looking the part, it's about the whole lifestyle. We're just trying to make the world a more fabulous and glamorous place, day by day.
