I enjoy being a girl!!!! Dress up time!

OK so not much has happened with me on the Burlesque experience front for a month now, which is really bad, but when you live so far away from the action (LONDON) & pennies are few, what's a girl to do?! I know....DRESS UP!!!! A favourite past time of mine and seeing as at the moment the opportunity to dress up doesn't come along often, I can be creative & be a proper girl.


One thing I can do is get some outfits together, find somewhere to get some pictures done so I have something to look forward to do.


By recommendation, I have booked a guy called Nicholas Dawkes so I'm hoping for amazing pictures (which of course will be put on here). One big tick. And, I have gathered a few items that I wish to have pictures in. Second big tick!!


Below, I have got some of those outfits then some outfits I wish/haven't purchased yet to complete my look of pin up & burlesque style. Its great because this week on this morning, they featured a pin up fashion section but I had already got my eye on a few things featured!!!!




This beauty is a classic piece from Dorothy Perkins. A navy/ink coloured polka dot dress with a peplum waist section & a V neck. Its a bit longer then what I would usually go for but its a figure hugging outfit & very sophisticated. I can't wait to rock this outfit out!!





From the Kelly Brook line at New Look, all the range is 50's Pin Up inspired (perfect for me!!!!) I am becoming obsessed with polka dot as you can probably tell. This look is a white tie shirt and red polka dot capri pants worn with wedges. GORGEOUS! I love the red colour and with a skinny belt really sets it off. I love to wear dresses but i do like the casual look the pants bring.


A Primark BARGAIN!! This dress is awesome & very 50's - Covered in convertible car in different colours, musical notes with a sweetheart neckline, dusky pink. I rocked this out for the first time at the weekend. Another figure hugging outfit, adapted by myself as the straps were a bit too long! Just looked on eBay and they're selling it for £19.99 + postage....I brought it for £12!!




Yet another polka dot number but this is a classic pin up shaped swimsuit. From George at Asda and currently sold out....Typical, but its available in black. The shape around the leg/hips is perfect for this look as its not a high leg and at a bargain of £12, you can't go wrong with a price like that?!


Classic underwear set including suspenders, sheer girdle and gloves.....VERY SEXY!! Watching something very similar on eBay, can't go wrong with that site!! Safe outfit but accurate!


OK, now for just loads of pictures that I love & wish I could wear!!!






SO many outfits that would look awesome so I will continue to search! I am watching a telephone on eBay (again) as I want to do a shoot with one....I love the one with just the piece of material, how lush & sexy would that look?!


'I Enjoy Being a Girl' is from the musical Flower Drum Song, but I know it better for being on an episode of The Muppets when Miss Piggy sings with a guest....Its awesome, plus very true!


Well I hope you liked my well overdue blog about clothing & what I am searching for. Any opinions and where to buy welcome! Just wanted everyone else to enjoy & admire the gorgeous clothes I will someday have the opportunity to wear...Lucky me!!!!!!
