I Like Pretty Clothes

My other new Hell Bunny dress - have I mentioned that I love Hell Bunny?

Also, this is a 2X and a lot of Hell Bunny styles go up to 4X, so they accommodate a wide range of sizes. I will say, however, that their sizing can be a little wonky sometimes - this is the exact style and size as another HB dress I have, and yet this is bigger. But, keeping that in mind, they are still awesome dresses!

Hello lovely NZ ladies!

I am selling an assortment of fabulous things on TradeMe - please check it out and tell your friends!

My husband and I went as a colour theme to a Halloween-themed burlesque show last night. Yes, I know that’s a lame costume. But we looked really fancy, so I think it makes up for the lameness.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how hot Sam looks in his suit? I mean, wow, I usually have trouble keeping my hands off him (this has been the case for the last 12 years), but last night bordered on inappropriate. ;) A man with a beard in a suit? Yum. Especially if it’s my man!

I love my blue wig - this was its debut. I may have to invent more situations at which it is necessary to wear it more often.

Mermaid dress FTW.

I loooooovvvvveeee the new Luscious dress from Pinup Girl Clothing. I bought it because they had sold out of the mint Heidi in my size, and I needed a mint dress very badly (for no particular reason, just pure and simple need). This one appealed because it fulfilled the need for mint, with the added bonus of mermaid embroidery and comfy material. Well, I was not disappointed - the fabric is soft and thick and lovely, the colour is gorgeous, it is super comfortable and Mira the Mermaid is a fabulous adornment on my shoulders. Love, love, love.

I wore this on Saturday to the opening night of the World Premiere of West End Girls, a play adaptation of the memoir by Barbara Tate. Such a great production - so ingenious, funny, creative and just plain entertaining. For those of you in Wellington, go see it! And read the book, it is also great.

As for the dress, this is the second of my two Alikas from Bettie Page Clothing (the other). I love this dress so much and therefore had to get it in more than 1 colour. And I believe BPC is releasing it in even more colours/patterns, so I might even have to get a third.

Also of note in this outfit is the clutch I bought in China - I couldn’t resist it, with its ‘brass knucles’ handle and demure white lace exterior. It was certainly a hit the other night, with everyone wanting to ‘try it on’ and many telling me to keep an eye on it or they would steal it. :)

Here is the Lady V London dress that I first posted about here.

I know I say this a lot, but I freaking love this dress! The fit is good, the skirt is a massive circle, and the fabric/print is gorgeous. Only good things went into this fine frock.

I once again had to wear two petticoats - because of the huge amount of fabric in the skirt, one petticoat was not providing enough poof. Also, I swapped out the skinny belt it came with for this wider one. I also wore a black cardigan and my sweater guard with it.
