Wheels & Dollbaby

I must have been scrolling through pictures of one of the Jaggers when I first noticed her clothing.
A skirt maybe or was it a dress? Bianca? Or was it Jade? No, it was on Sea of Shoes website when I noticed Georgia May's perfect shiny floral pencil skirt that I sat up, rivited. This wasn't the normal over-the-top designer fodder that only looks good on mannequin thin, rich celebrities at parties.  This was palpable, something I could understand.  Something I could even see myself wearing.

I clicked the link that took me to one of my new favourite online clothing websites.  And I haven't even bought an item yet.
Wheels and Dollbaby is the name. And sexy 40s/50s era pin up slink is the game.  And it's a game I love to play well!
I've spent the past few months stalking their site and looking at the perfectly proportioned leopard print dresses, the sexy silk floral body cons, and the seductively sedate sweaters and I just can't get enough!

 

The dresses on Wheels and Dollbaby made me thing of this movie starring Blake Lively and Chloe Grace Moretz that I watched recently.  Lively's character Glenda is totally a Wheels and Dollbaby type of gal and she is absolutely eye-catching in her sexy/trashy late 70's bad-girl gear.  Please enjoy some still from the movie below and hopefully they will inspire you to get down with your bad self.

It's Been A Long Time And I've Missed YOU! / Forever 21 Canada is Killing It in the Blouse Dept.

I know, I fell off the wagon again.  Not really.  Sobriety is no laughing matter (neither is ACTUALLY falling off a wagon--OUCH!).  What I mean to say is, YIKES, it's been a while.

But I'm back and more ferocious then ever!  My fashion bug is still very much inside me (parasite much?) and I'm craving a lot more from myself and this site.  So stay tuned for some fun.

But in the meantime, here's some beautiful blouses I just found on Forever 21 Canada that I think we can all agree will put some much-needed pep in January's step.

 Bell sleeves and the beautiful detailing at the top. Simple, pure and feminine.  Love this for spring!

Grey as a dove and simple as a dream.  A menswear inspo pocket to boot? In love.  Wishing it wasn't elastic at the bottom though.  Is that ever flattering?

Perfectly pink and with the most beautiful button detailing down the back.  Devil's in the details!

Gorgeous simplicity: hint of a high/low and lovely sleeve embroidery.

Oversize white button-up.  Every girl needs one.  But is that tiny collar going to make me look hippier? (Does this collar make me look fat? LOL!)

A floral sweatshirt-inspired shirt.  Ghetto fabulous!  This is street style brought to the suburb and I simply CAN'T (in the best way possible).

Did somebody say Simple Summer Slip Shirt? (Not 5 times fast, I bet!)

And some skirts for good measure:

Perfectly plain pencil.

And scuba material navy circle skirt:

Forever 21 is often a wasteland of crop tops and distressed denim that even a Russian mail-order bride would consider outre, but sometimes I get on the site and am happily surprised.  Today was that day people, and it makes my heart sing!

Vibe-ing for Mexico

Some things I am thinking for my wedding/honeymoon 2 weeks in Puerto Vallarta:

 Nautical stripes and crisp white shirt.

 Pencil skirt and t-shirt.  With killer shoes 

 Bustier and circle skirt with amazing shades.

 My wedding colours! (turquoise and fuchsia)

  This super sexy maxi.

 A floral pencil skirt and white beater.

 Loose crop and flowy pants.

 Beaded/intricate top and casual t-shirt.

 Adorable fit and flare dress.

 Another pencil skirt and tank.

 Bikini with boob embellishment (best for pear shape) and a fun head scarf.

 Skinny jeans, heels, graphic t-shirt.

 Everything in this picture!!

 Bright pants and floral blazer.

 Neon pencil skirt.

 Animal print pencil skirt.

 Fun-printed harem pants.

 Neon blazer.  And turquoise.

Ah-may-zing dramatic black dress.  I want.

So many things to wear...so little time we are there...

General Looks I'm Loving...

 Jeans worn casually but with a pointy toe?  I really like.  Here is a sleeveless and long-sleeve (rolled-up) version.  

Gwynnie's shoes are making me hot! I just got a kinda similar pair last night. That will be my next post.  Promise

 

A cutoff is killing me right now.  (Need to get these gams tanned and shapely). I also love a sport short worn dressy like above and below. 

 And Karla just kills it everytime.  Those shoes? 

Early Spring Dressing Ideas

As I troll through the internet, the mall, boutiques and the like, I see a bunch of beautiful spring choices out there.  As it is still cold and snowy here, we definitely aren't into flimsy spring territory yet, but a hint of colour and some transitional pieces that will take us into late spring/summer are a must.
Here are some beautiful things I've seen that are wants for me for sure:

Pastel/coloured jeans.  They are everywhere, right?  I'm a little over them now that I've seen tweens wearing them for months (is that snobby?) but I think this periwinkle blue pair mixed with this adorable sweater and shoe combo hits all the right notes.  And all that gold?  You know I love that!

So, as I said above, it's still cold here so a jacket is still a requirement, and I just always love a good jacket.  This fuschia one over the denim on cropped denim with the black heels and the pop of colour from the bag.  All the right notes!

I need these jeans! They are 7 for All Mankind and I absolutely love them!  And with a sweet little blouse and cardi I think this is spring incarnate.

I pretty much want to eat these heels for breakfast! I have the black pants and a similar white shirt so all I need is a strappy pair of black heels in my life and I'm laughing.  I totally have pastel purses, I mean, c'mon.

Colour! This skirt is great for spring.  The length, the colours and then the sweater tucked into it just makes my heart sing.

And for when it gets warmer: consider leather with bare legs.  HAWT!  This is Sofi Farhman here and she is a couple months pregnant in this shot.  So guess what moms? The bar has been set sartorially.  No excuses. ;)

I love a 2 tone coat! Love! And the colours of this one just add a song to spring that I want to hear on and on.

Another skirt and sweater combo that lets you continue wearing your beautiful sweaters that you accumulated all winter and pair it with those skirts and sandals you've been saving since last summer.  Parfait! #shopyourclosetyousillybitches

Flats again! Please!!! I love a good pair of leopard ones and they can be worn with anything (as long as the snow as melted).

Another coloured jacket, this one a bit lighter for those warm spring days/hot summer nights.  And a nautical nod with the striped shirt is always a classic/springy look.

A clutch and an arm party.  Stiill en vogue as far as I'm concerned and you won't see me out with spring without it. 

Have fun with your fashion!
