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!

Come follow me! @roxcandymountain Here's some stuff I've been up to:

Fun right?

Beauty at the Beach!≈

Hey ya'll! Here's me wearing a glycol pumpkin mask in my bathing suit at the lake! Beauty waits for no man! And my pores hate me when I don't give them lots of attention.  

As previously mentioned we've been at the cabin on and off all summer so I've kind of been living out of my travel toiletries bag.  If you'd like to get a peek inside then please read on :)

The is my bag.  I bought it from Winners last fall before going to Mexico to be married.   I wanted one that hangs (it has a little hook at the top) because often there is not more counter space at hotels, etc.  Works great for the and it's cabin pedastle sink too!

I don't care much for accessorizing at the lake but I always throw in a little something, be it earrings, simple necklace or bangle, to sparkle up an outfit for if we go out to dinner or to the bar.

Best face wipes.  Hands down.  And they don't break me out. 

I love this stuff so much I started selling it! Optimera day and night cream.  It's changed the landscape of my freakin' face! I'll do a review if you are interested.

I needed a waterproof mascara for at the pool/beach and for $1.99 this Essence one fits the bill just fine.

A sparkly nude lip c/o Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker . You really have to get close to see that I'm wearing anything which I like for casual lake days.

Just a perfect facial cleanser to get the day off.

Another mascara because, why not?

I like this Dove Go Sleeveless.  It really does lighten under my arms! ( I loathe that "grey pit" look, don't you?)

This is the mask I'm wearing in the top picture.  I like a mask that kinda "eats" the crap on my skin and this one does just that.  My skin loves a treatment like this a few times a week to clean out my big, fat, hungry pores.

An easy peasy (and not too expensive in case it breaks, gets leaked on) eyeshadow pallet.  This one is Wet n' Wild's Walking On Eggshells and it's around $5 and just fab.  Silky application, very opaque, and I love the neutral hues.

MaryKay's eye crayons.  They work great as a liner or as eyeshadow or eyeshadow base. 

I got this in a Luxe boy and it's a great facial sunscreen.  Some days I'm the ONLY one who doesn't come away from the beach looking a little, shall we say, crispy.

Another portable little eyeshadow trio this time by MaryKay.  Doesn't it just scream BEACH!?

A nice little portable highlighter for nights out.  The Body Shop just has beautiful and affordable cosmetics.

My summer in a nutshell.  I brought this baby (essie's "cute as a button") to wear on my toes but it was just to cute and summery not to wear on my fingers as well.

This China Glaze (Innocent) and OPI's Start to Finish are always on repeat on my fingers and toes no matter what the season.  They are just capital "C" Classy.

I don't really wear foundation at the lake, I just wear this lightly tinted primer.

This much-loved Joe blush in Apricot just adds a bit of a flush and, BONUS, doesn't require a brush.

Another product that looks like it's been around the bend, my Lush perfume portable in "Vanillary"...it's just lovely.

Yet another 'scara!

This cherry Baby Lips adds a sexy bitten look to lips for nights out.

Clinique Chubby Stick in Grape.

Avon's brow liner in blonde.  I gotta keep my brow game strong!

Cotton rounds.

Some randoms that made their way into my bag (thanks Jack!)

And that's all she wrote.  Obviously I have a brush and toothbrush and shampoo and stuff but I leave that up here but I often bring this guy back and forth as it contains not only the stuff I love at the lake but stuff I love for everyday as well.

Fashion post to come!
