Frockabilly Heaven!

With the long Summer days upon us we have been enjoying every drop of sunshine thrown our way!  Dresses, tie tops, capri trousers and accessories have been styled and swapped to give us something exciting to wear everyday.

We have selected a few of our favourite frocks to wear while enjoying al fresco dinner, cocktails or a luncheon at a beach cafe.

Fresh and floral the Bernice 50's Swing dress is covered in tulips, the button detail adds shape to the sweetheart neckline and thin straps show off the shoulders. 

The Carla dotty red and black dress is a stunning swing dress, the fitted bodice is flirty and feminine while the polkadot skirt is flared and fun, perfect for a dinner date.

Red hot Bette Stripe dress is bold and bright, this little beauty is perfect for a day at the seaside, think sand between your toes and the salty sea mist in your hair followed by fish and chips.

April Showers

Bring May flowers!  Everyone knows that one, right? But what to do and what to wear when those showers can just pop out of nowhere and be gone in a matter of minutes?  Well, after the second ruined hair and wet dress, we decided to sit down and come up with some ideas, because we refuse to spend our April days running around in wellies and a plastic raincoat on the off chance it rains.

Pink Tulips bloom all over this this lovely spring themed skirt. A pink umbrella and platforms will keep the rain away from you and provide lovely accents to the skirt. We kept the top simple, with a flattering sweetheart neckline, and added flower-shaped earrings. What a beautiful way to welcome spring!

Dangerous kitty has no fear of bad hair days rocking this awesome bandana. We kept the colours to red and black, with skinny jeans and creepers giving you that old school slim silhouette, and a classical red top with swallows. The laser-cut kitty earrings and black bangles give it a bit more modern feel you can rock everywhere.

Cream Tea(l) has the teal dress taking centre stage, with the rest of the accessories serving only to accentuate the bright and strong colour and the flattering ladylike cut.  The matching ring gives an additional accent to the hands, and the lipstick is kept creamy and flesh-coloured.

Rain Jewel builds up on the black wiggle dress with deep rich ruby and emerald tones. No need to control you frizz when you can just wear a turban and let the rest of your hair be its glorious rain-kissed self, and when all eyes will be drawn to your deep ruby lips and the wiggle in your step!

What are your favourite pieces for spring?

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 ;)
