Pinup up abroad - Outfits

Aloha my cherrypies so I have just come back from an amazing holiday in Tenerife filled with sunshine, sea and one too many cocktails. Tenerife is beautiful Spanish island in the Canary's and is a really amazing place to go on holiday if you get the chance as the weather is gorgeous and the food and drinks are plenty haha. So my lovelies if you have been looking at my Instagram you will have seen what I have been wearing abroad so I thought id just got into a little detail on what I wore and where I bought it.


My favourite outfit of the holiday was this gorgeous skirt and top by The Oblong Box Shop. All the clothes from this shop are amazing and I love how the top goes perfectly with the skirt. The skirt is from the palm springs collection and I just love everything in this collection and definitely have some things on my wish list for the future. The quality of the pieces are lovely and the top is stretchy so its super comfy. The print on the skirt is gorgeous too as I am just flamingo mad. As you know I'm also pineapple mad as well so I had to pair this outfit with this super cute pineapple bag from New Look.


My second outfit is this amazing twin set by Collectif clothing. Collectif is my one stop shop for everything vintage inspired and when I saw this set with the flamingo and toucan print I knew it would look perfect on a holiday. Its a tropical dream, the material is really high quality, but I did have to wait till night to wear this as the material is quite thick so it was too hot to wear during the day. I also put a real flower in my hair with this outfit as I felt its gave it that extra tropical touch.


My third outfit was was pineapple tastic. My pineapple print skirt was from Primark last year, the material on in was very light so it was perfect to keep me cool. The top was from H&M recently and I am just madly in love with the sequin pineapple as its super gorgeous and sparkly. I am also wearing a super cute glittery pineapple clip from Alternate Normality but unfortunately you cant see it in the picture.


My next outfit was also one of my favourites as it was a great vintage buy. I managed to snag it at a vintage kilo event after seeing a lady pick it up and falling in love with the dress, so as you do I followed her round the event in hopes that she would put it down, and she did, lucky me haha. I also paired it with this great straw hat from H&M. I'm really into my hats now for the summer after seeing how Modern June Cleaver over at junebugsandgeorgiapeaches looks in hers, she has totally inspired me and brought me over the hat side of life!


My last outfit is this super cute combo of deadly dames and watermelons which I think totally works haha. The skirt is again from Primark and I managed to pick it up when I picked up the pineapple skirt as they had some really cute circle skirts in last year. I paired it with this amazing deadly dames top from Pin Up Girl Clothing that I hadn't worn before but I have no idea why because I love it! Its super flattering and because its black its very versatile so I will definitely be bringing out this bad boy more often!.

Hope you enjoyed reading, thanks Guys and Dolls x

Pinup on a budget


Aloha everyone, so I wore this super cute outfit the other day and I thought I’d do a little post about it since everything I wore was on a budget, it just goes to show you don’t have to spend big money to look pinup.

The skirt I adore as it has got pineapple print all over it and as everyone knows by now I love pineapples. I picked up this skirt at Primark last summer and it was only around £12, they had some great circle skirts in last year so I really hope they bring them back this year too! I paired it with this cute striped bardot top that I got recently at Primark, I know everyone is going crazy for these at the moment as they are only £3.50 and they have a big selection of colourways. I love these bardot tops not only because they are so cheap but they are very versatile, so if you have access to a Primark I’d recommend getting down there and snagging one. For my shoes I put on my go to shoes at moment my TK Maxx anchor pumps which I talked about in my last post. I also decided to throw on a cute vintage headscarf to give the outfit that finishing look, I love these headscarves you can find them in a lot of vintage shops or on the market as I discovered a few weeks ago, they are normally sold at the stands for "older ladies" but I love these stands as they sell vintage style nighties and really good stockings!

Well there you have it, a perfect pinup outfit on a super cheap budget. Thanks for reading Guys and Dolls I hope you enjoyed it x

Pinup outfit - Cute and Casual



Aloha everyone, so I had a cute and causal look the other day as I was going out for a walk with family, I didn't want to wear anything too fancy and I thought it would be a good opportunity to show girls what they could wear if they don't want to wear anything too dressed up but still want a pinup vibe.

This outfit was on a budget too which is great, the jeans I picked up at New Look, I picked them because they are high waisted which I love and I really liked the colour of them as they are a brighter blue than most jeans. I also tend to roll my jeans up at the bottom to give them that retro vibe. I paired it with a cute striped bardot top from Primark and on whim I decided to turn this outfit into a nautical theme so I also put on this super cute cardigan which was from Primark too, it's hard to see from the picture but it is covered in cute little anchors.

Following the nautical theme I also wore these amazingly cute pumps that I picked up at TK Maxx, I love how you can find pinup inspired clothes at the most unlikely places. These are super comfy and are now my go to shoes and the anchors print is adorable!

So I'm absolutely mad about bags, they are my favourite accessory so this was my favourite item in my outfit. I think this is one of my favourite bags ever, I picked it up in an amazing vintage shop in Hebden Brdge in Yorkshire called Lucy and the Caterpillar Boutique. It was love at first sight when I walked into this shop its just full of vintage treasures and the bag really stood out to me. It's an original 1950s unused box bag that had the original receipt with it. Its in perfect condition and I love the colour. Its so beautiful and one of my favourite vintage items to date.
