Summer Festival

Start with a pink leopard-print patent leather pump from Jimmy Choo.

 Add a retro white-and-black polka dot dress.

Front View - Back View

Accessorize with a chunky necklace that brings together the colour scheme and adds some lime green pop. (I had to crop the pic of the necklace because the original had a truly hideous charm attached to it.)

Time for Tea

This crazy skirt from John Lewis features teapots in dark grey, turquoise, pink, and chartreuse on a grey-white background. Combine that with a sheer chartreuse belted blouse and retro grey heels, both from ModCloth, and a bumblegum pink beaded necklace from Etsy, and you're ready for tea and crumpets.

Winter Glam

A retro ski sweater matched with a pink wool skirt will keep you warm when the winter winds blow. Add some glam to the comfort with tuxedo-spat-inspired boots from EllE. A chunky necklace from Etsy in onyx and turquoise, with just a hint of pink, adds a touch of color pop.

Like Bees To Honey

I adore this dress from Unique Vintage! It's so retro-chic with a houndstooth pattern, empire waist, and Peter Pan collar.


With houndstooth-and-yellow pumps from oh...Deer!




And a bumblebee bracelet from Etsy and a bracelet with black Swarovski crystals by Alyssa Smith.



Breakfast At Tiffany's

This outfit features a 60's retro Tiffany blue sweater with a scalloped neckline offset by a bold burgundy shrug, paired with black trousers that have an Audrey-Hepburn-cute bow at the waist.




With Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps in black and blue


And this Paloma Picasso necklace (from Tiffany's, of course)



See a better photo of the necklace at the Tiffany's website.

Pink Cadillac

In this outfit, men's vintage wool pants get vamped with a black lace trimmed cami (from Coast) and a men's cut jacket in shocking pink (from Planet).



With Gabriella Rocha patent leather pumps

And this black rose choker (from Etsy)

Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

Just because the weather is overcast and dreary doesn't mean your clothes have to be! This hemp/cotton blend Dijon tee brings out the subtle golden-yellow pattern in the retro wool skirt, and a Merino wool cardigan with flared waist and bell sleeves adds a dainty touch to the outfit.




Let the sun shine with these suede knee-high boots

Sunny Days

Denim skirts can cover a broad range of styles - from trampy to cowgirl to frumpy. This denim skirt from Marks & Spencer is delightfully different with a very tailored and refined cut and look. I paired it with a retro 1950's orange blouse that carries that same tailored and refined appeal (from ModCloth).




With a casual multi-colored sandal by Thierry Rabotin (sticker shock: $360)

Autumn Splendor

This outfit from Nordstrom would be lovely for autumn. And overall it's a great retro look.

Winter Wonder

I love the classic Pendelton plaid wool skirt. And when you pair it with a crushed velvet jacket it creates a bit of unexpected glamour. I was delighted to find this photo of a J. Crew Eden jacket, because the colors of the layers pull the whole look together.

And these retro boots are perfection. (found on EBay)

Glamour At The Office

Pair a retro ruffled gold blouse from Sears with a trendy purple jacket by Anne Klein and grey trousers from Nordstrom and you have a stunning and unique office look.
