Oh Kitten!

Oh Kitten!
Hell Bunny’s S/S collection is full of kittens this year! The pattern comes in two base colours- black and pale blue, and they feature kittens, petals, hearts and flowers in violet, white and pink. Frankly, we were head over heels even before we saw the kittens are all wearing bows!
Of course, we had to get our hands on some of their designs immediately, as they embody everything we love about vintage: They are cute and feminine, and just a bit playful and sassy!  All it takes to improve our mood during the day is one look down at our skirts or dresses and those adorable kittens!   The designs and pattern are so versatile and easy to match, we put together four kitty-themed outfit ideas for you to enjoy!

We named the first one Soft Kitty, as it features the skirt in pale blue, and we matched it with a pink cardigan for a very dainty, very feminine look. It is both gentle and elegant, and we kept the jewellery to a minimum with only a pair of floral earrings.

Pink kitten is a somewhat bolder look, with a black dress guaranteed to show off your figure in the best possible light. We went with hot pink and black accessories and makeup, in order to accentuate the cat theme, and complement the bolder colours of the print.

The Wildcat is possibly our favourite.  There is just something about combining a pastel dress with darker, bolder colours that always catches our eye.  We also love the good-girl-turning-bad vibe that comes from combining a full circle dress and leather.

Lovecat happened when we decided to make the kitten print more formal, and more adult. We paired it with a black top and darker lipstick, and matched the pattern’s purple and pink tones with makeup and pearly drop earrings.

Which set do you like best? How do you plan on wearing your kitten print?

Cardi weather

Most people associate rockabilly with long hot summers, skimpy skirts and outdoorsy fun. But what oh what is a vintage gal to do when the colder weather sets in? Why, make a grab for the cardi of course!

We here at rockabilly pinup are big fans of cardigans, as they are not only super stylish, but they also allow us to wear our favourite dresses even as the colder weather sets in. We have a very very hard time parting from our dresses, be they wiggle or swing.

While the weather is still somewhat warm, you can ward off the chill with a nice bolero.....





but as the scent of roasted chestnuts drifts through the crisper air, you might want to grab something that gives you a bit more coverage. Spending autumn in bed with the sniffles is a waste of perfectly dreamy weather!

Pairing a lighter dress with a snuggly warm cardigan and a pair of warmer tights can help it survive the dreaded wardrobe turnover we suffer through every season,



or you can pair a cardi with a wiggle skirt and go for the sassy librarian look (cat eye glasses optional ;) )



And if you, like us, love taking long strolls through crispy leaves, why not grab a pair of wickedly delicious trousers from our sister site and pair them with the naughty and nice peek-a-boo sweater, to keep nice and warm while you enjoy some hot cider ;)
