LA Vintage Style Examiner-Pinup Girl Clothing

29 Jul

PS- I almost forgot to mention that I am Examiner.com’s new LA Vintage Style Examiner!  I will be writing and reporting on all things vintage in the Los Angeles area!

Check out my review below of  Pinup Girl Clothing’s website, and see the live article here!

Pinup Girl Clothing
Pinup Girl Clothing

Pinup Girl Clothing is an LA based company that is a modern day pinup girl’s dream when it comes to clothing and accessories.  Ranging from retro style swimwear, hip hugging pencil skirts, wiggle dresses, tops, shoes, housewares, cosmetics, jewelry and accessories, any item a retro style girl would want can be found here in a range of sizes to fit everyone. Though items are not truly vintage, the vintage recreations have every detail for rockabilly retro style designed flawlessly at affordable prices.

The swimwear line will have you heating up the poolside in sexy classic numbers like the one-piece ‘Marilyn’ inspired by none other than Marilyn Monroe, a gathered, skirted, fitted suit that looks straight out of the 1950’s.  Marilyn Swimsuit Laura Byrnes PhotographyAvailable in the classic colors black, red, or leopard, an extremely limited edition in either gold, green, or white is currently available until sold out.  There is also the halter neck ‘Bombshell’ style one-piece, a striped nautical style ‘Sailor Playsuit’, and the classic sheath suit.  Amazing two-piece suits include the ‘Sailor Girl’; high waisted navy blue shorts with white anchor button detailing and a matching red and white striped halter neck top with blue trim and blue sailor tie in the center.   Other two piece suits can be found in gingham plaid, leopard print, and polka dots in both retro high waisted bottoms, and skimpy modern cuts.

Their dress selection is to die for.  Inspired from 1940-1950’s styles, there are dresses ranging from casual sundresses to evening formal dresses.  The cuts are amazing with fitted waists and classic shapes that enhance the body and are drop dead gorgeous.  Selections include the ‘Military Secretary’ dress, inspired by the classic pinup girls painted on the sides of WWII planes; a stretchy high waisted pencil skirt style with gold buttons and a sexy V cut blouse top meant to look like separates.

The ‘Natalie’ dress is a classic leopard print body hugging wiggle dress in stretchy material, cleavage enhancing bustline, cap sleeves and center ties.  The more casual ‘Retro Sun Dress’ features cherry print on either black or white fabric, deep V neckline, fitted waist and full skirt.  In addition to their own designs, Pinup Girl Clothing also carries a wide variety of dresses from other retro designers as well.

No modern day pinup girl is complete without shoes, and styles offered include classic pumps, platform leopard prints, polka dot mary janes, and cherry print wedges, just to name a few.  A full range of retro style accessories include purses, hair flowers, jewelry, cosmetics, sunglasses, fragrance, belts, lingerie, in addition to Halloween costumes, menswear, outerwear, and housewares.

Pinup Girl Clothing is the one stop shop for all things retro, rockabilly, and pinup girl style with a great eye for design, style, and affordability.  Most styles are around or under $100, and are available in sizes XS-XL.  Visit the website at www.pinupgirlclothing.com, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Vintage Finds: Red, White and Blue

>> Monday, July 5, 2010

I hope all of you had a great 4th of July! And if you’re not from the U.S., I hope you had a great weekend anyway. Now it’s time for the obligatory patriotic blog post. But I do really, really like these vintage finds from Etsy. Enjoy!

Patriotic Looks for July 4th

3 Jul

One of my favorite holidays has always been the Fourth of July- it’s always hot out, marking that time of year saying “summer is officially here”!  Barbecues, beach time, friends, parties and fireworks has always been fun times ever since my childhood, and continues to be great fun as an adult.  Since red, white, and blue happen to be one of my favorite color schemes as well, there are plenty of patriotic options available at Castaway Vintage.

Nautical

26 Jun

I came across this little vintage top/mini-dress, and immediately knew I had to have it for the shop!  It just really embodies everything that Castaway Vintage was based upon.  Vintage clothing but with a nautical feel, mini dresses, shades of red and blue, an anchor!!

I just absolutely love vintage clothing from the 60’s with a mod feel, and nautical themes!!  I couldn’t wait to list it in the shop, and then as I was going through all the photos to pick out my “top 5” as Etsy only allows five photos per listing, I just loved it even more!  I sell pretty much everything I find, and I get really excited about listing items I love in the shop to really have great items and so my shop reflects my taste and style.  However, I’m really starting to miss and regret letting some pieces go when I go into my closet and have nothing, so for now I think I have to keep this one!
