Vintage fur – good or bad?

lilmissglamourpuss — Mon, 25 May 2009 06:01:27 +0000

My silly little soul is awfully confused with this dilemma: is vintage fur good or bad?

On principle, I’m against fur. But then vintage fur is a tad different story. I mean, the garment has been produced decades ago and the poor little animals have already given their lives to satisfy man’s vanity. Giving a vintage fur garment a new home is a way of making sure that they didn’t die in vain? Right?

Also, by buying this item off a gorgeous burlesque performer friend, I am (and I quote) ‘helping a poor showgirl eat‘. See, its for a good cause after all. *grins*

Sexy new satin & lace Mollini pumps

While I’m not too crazy about the silly lace thingie popping out of the back of this Mollini shoe, I fell in love with the colour and the texture of the lace covered satin. The stupid frill folds in easily and the shoes are a nice everyday office heel to spice up an otherwise tame outfit.

Bernie Dexter Sweet Tart lingerie set

I just couldn’t say no to this. They’re just so adorable and delightfully naughty. I love the frilled bum on the knickers and I absolutely adore the little bows on the garter belt. And the stockings? Sheer delight with seams!

Cilla & Pepe Sleepwear

Now how delightful and decadent are these? I visited Dirty Pretty Things and treated myself to the little black silk robe (far right image) and have pranced around the house in it ever since. Because it’s pure silk, its soft against the skin and warms even on a cooler late autumn morning.

Now of course I couldn’t just wear this lovely robe without satin marabou slippers, now could I? For some reason it seems impossible to find a pair that doesn’t have clear stripper heel in Australia.

Have no fear, I bumped into this fantastic little online store called Baby Girl Boutique. Not only do they stock everything a pin-up girl might need, they are very, very fast! I got my wonderful little package in three days!

I found this stunning CUE Re-Collection jacket today. I wasn’t planning on buying one yet but you know how it is… when you see IT, you need to have it!

I have to say that I was very impressed with the CUE Re-Collection line in general. I found four jackets that I could have bought any of, and to be honest I nearly bought two!

Back with a pooch!

lilmissglamourpuss — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:06:40 +0000

Yes. I have been a very bad girl. There has been no blogging. But I have a very good excuse for it: I haven’t been shopping.

Why? I traded in my shopping habit for a puppy!

Isn’t she gorgeous?

Poppet - 5 months

Her name is Poppet and she is a toy poodle, currently 5 months old.

Now that the dust has settled, I can slowly get back into my shopping…

Irresistible 50s style polka dot bikini by Odille

lilmissglamourpuss — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:50:09 +0000

I was walking out to lunch with a couple of workmates when I saw the cutest ever Odille polka dot bikini in a store window.

I couldn’t pass it! I ran straight in and tried it on.

Odille Polka Dot bikini

I ended up getting the pale blue one, as it looked very flattering on a slightly tanned skin.

I have to say that the sizing was a tad odd though. Its fantastic that they sell the tops and bottoms separately, as I had to choose [S] in the bottoms and [L] in the bikini top!

It was love at first sight and I think its the cutest bikini I’ve ever owned!
