Sophisticated Autumn in Jezebel dress

Hello Darlings.


Today I will be short with style post. 

For autumn stroll, I am coosed my new Jezebel dress by Vivien Of Holloway. Recently I did many collaborations with VOH because dresses are just perfect for my figure. Quality materials and credible design are winning combination for retro/vintage style. Vivien of Holloway dresses are never too short or too tight.

I have few sarong dresses by VOH but this is my first Jezebel dress. Lovely Paloma Faith is also fan of VOH and she was seen in violet Jezebel dress, so this cut is one of the most popular in VOH collection.
Jezebel Bronze Leopard dress is made of heavy and luxurious Dutchess Satin with beautiful but delicate shine. This is perfect for cooler days. This dress has a wrap top which flatters any size bust and a slinky pencil skirt to put a wiggle in walk. Vivien has added authentic touches such as the half peplum on the side and the elegant V-shaped back, to give that extra touch of old Hollywood glamour!

I didn't wear leopard print for a while, despite I was big fan of same when I was in my big psychobilly phase :) but bronze leopard and black satin are great together.
With VOH dress I am wearing my gold/glitter Pin Up Couture peep toe heels and Woody Ellen bag from new 2016 collection. Woody Ellen is artist from Belgium. Ellen was previously a children’s book illustrator and author for 16 years. Now she has her own wearable art business, creating custom paintings on wood panels and then transforming her paintings into pieces of wearable art.
Her method is unique. The image she wants to paint might develop in her head for weeks, but then all the energy and excitement comes together and splashes onto the wood panel. 

Her work explores color in many ways. Florals and organics are also a source of non-stop inspiration. She uses different techniques in her pieces with a mix of spontaneous brush strokes, referring to the famous artist Matisse, and an illustrator’s fine pencil detailing. The final results are a nostalgic wink to a bygone era. I love her bags and accessories and have few lovely sets.
I am also wearing my vintage necklace and classy, timeless Daniel Wellington watch.

"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.

Who is Vivien of Holloway?

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.
