Enjoying Collectif Clothing sale section !

When it comes to buying clothes I'm not the most reasonnable person you could find... I'm not the kind of gal who saves for months to buy THE dress. 

I like having plenty of cute clothes & I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I like buying when I feel it's decently priced & I won't feel guilt afterwards because I broke the bank ! 

For all the reasons above, I LOOOOVE Collectif Clothing ! It's one of my favorite vintage repro clothing brand :). It's on of the most affordable & I like the fact they ALWAYS have a great selection of sale items. 

ALL the following clothing I got were an amazing deal ! So happy ! Hope you'll enjoy what I got ^_^.

Everything is a size UK8/XS except the skirt which is 10/S. Collectif Clothing items run BIG but apparently the most recent designs are smaller & therefore more true to size.

Regina Doll in black hawaïan 

The regina doll shape is one of my fave style if not MY fave style from collectif clothing. I'm a swing dress kinda girl & there's something about the plunge neckline with the little cap sleeves that makes me feel so pretty when I wear this. LOOVE the bright hawaian print against the black. The fabric is a heavy weight cotton & which is a delight to wear even on the hottest days (from my experience with another print !)

***

Sarong in pink hawaïan 

Had my eyes on this for SO long ! that's the perfect tropical summer dress to me ! the cut is ultra flattering, wiggle style but still confortable & breathable ! Great decolletage which can fit a great variety of bust size because of the halterneck. This one is VERY strechy & the pink is GORGEOUS ! I see myself wearing this a lot in my US vacations :p

***

Regina in blue hawaïan

This is the same shape as the first one except this one is a wiggle style on the bottom. Super pretty blue hibiscus print. The fit is a little tight for me on the tighs area but not unwearable. It's a little less stretchy than the pink one. Great design for summer ! 

***

Stella in ivory hawaïan

First time I'm getting the Stella cut & I'm loving it to pieces !!! The color/print of this one is absolutely amazing... I know lots of people find it too "pale" butI simply adore the subtleness of the grey/green with the delicate flowers. I adore the little collar neckline & the bow accent at the waist ! CUTE & super comfy of course !

***

Fairy in red hawaïan

Yeah... I'm a bit of a hawaïan print fetishist :D ! On the website's pictures I wasn't super enthousiast about this color but snatch it anyway & oh boy was I happy I did when I tried it on ! It just screams summer heat & cocktails ! LOVE the cute little buttons, the pleats on the front & the spaghetti straps. The back is gathered & super stretchy as this design doesn't have a zipper. 

I had kind of a hard time taking it off & my love took a blooper pic of my struggle ! hahaha !
Can you read HELP ME on my face ? apparently my man reads "take a ridiculous picture for the whole world to see my despair !" LOL

Bella skirt in Camel

I got this skirt for 5£... you have the right to hate me :p ! Super cute pencil skirt with a "tulip" kinda hemline...cute art deco buttons on top & pleats on bottom. it's felly lined but very light. Super comfy. The size 10 was perfect for me !

*** 


Trina in red velvet

Last but not least because I think this one is my favorite of the bunch ! It's just MAGNIFICIENT... seriously I'm totally in love with that dress. The red is to die for, the velvet is very plush, stretchy & heavy. It's SUPER warm & I could use a warm dress right now in Canada:D ! Perfect for the winter holidays ! This dress makes me feel like a film noir heroïne... *_*

Cleaning out my closet

Hi dolls !

I decided it was time to separate myself from the stuff that don't fit or I don't see myself wearing much.

The prices include shipping to northern america (Canada+USA). 

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to ship overseas because it's very expensive to do so in Quebec when you don't have "professionnal rates".


Lingerie :



What Katie Did Maitresse bullet bra black in 34C
I adore this bra but unfortunately the fit isn't right on me
It's completely new I just tried it around the house

What Katie Did Maitresse narrow suspender belt

There was a mistake in sizing.I ordered a 12 & I was astonished it was way too big on me. Then I looked closer & saw it was labelled a size UK 18/US 14 ! THIS would fit a size L/XL.

I'm selling this to get another one hopefully without the same issue !

GARTER BELT retails at 31£ (49$) on WKD website. I sell it for 30$ (incl shipping US/Canada)

Black Friday PUG frenzy

I know...I know. Christmas isn't til next month.

But today is a glorious day for PUG (Pin Up Girl Clothing) addicts : BLACK FRIDAY !!!

I got 35% off from most of the website (with some exceptions...) & here's what I got ! 

***

"Birdie" 3/4 sleeves in Royal Blue 
I mean just look at this beauty... I looks dressy & extravagant & the bright blue is to die for !!!

Deadly Dames "Mon Cheri" in mauve
I had my eyes on this uber sexy satin number for quite a while & I finally managed to get it ! It's so sexy... look at this neckline & this gorgeous mauvy/pink color !

"Evelyn" in black/yellow floral print
Love at first sight for this dress ! It's just so cute & perfectly 50s looking with the cap sleeves & the pleated bodice. I adore the little back bow accent & the yellow/black roses are so vibrant !

"Ginger" dress in Pin Up print 
Can a dress get any cuter than this one ? seriously ?! alter neck  & white bodice scream summertime & the pin up print is GORGEOUS ! I love the black/pink/white color scheme too !

"Lucious" dress in Mira the mermaid mint
This is the perfect everyday/casual dress imo ! It looks just as comfy as it's cute with the little mermaid embroidery on the shoulders. The color is really a gorgeous mint which I love & the neckline cut is very beautiful & feminine. 

Deadly Dames "victorian rose" pencil skirt 
This appears SO washed out compared to "fan" pictures I've seen of this skirt ! It's an amazing pastel roses (blue & pink) print with a deep side slit. So girly !

"Doris" skirt in atomic turquoise
Nothing says 1950s better than atomic prints ! I already own this skirt in black & it's the perfect full skirt. I love the bright turquoise color & the belt loops. With a white/yellow or pink top it's gonna be killer !

"Doris" top in baby pink  
This is gonna be just perfect with the victorian rose pencil skirt !I can't wait to try this 2 together :). It'll also be nice with my black doris skirt & why not the atomic turquoise one !

Deadly Dames "dolly" top in white 
Who doesn't need a cute & versatile white top ? I see myself wearing this a lot with skirts. More over it'll match my victorian rose pencil skirt & the atomic print one (& the black one I already have) 

Deadly Dames psychobilly halter top in black
Loving this top ! it looks so ridiculously cute & badass at the same time ! The little colar & the skull brooch makes it truly unique ! 

Deadly Dames capri pants in red 
Last but definitely not least... I bought pants ! Red pants ! I'm not really a pant fan & to be honest I only wear leggings when I'm not in a dress or skirt. BUT I love the look of these so much that I decided to give it a go & got the super hot looking red ones... I'm gonna wear this with the psychobilly black top shown above & I'm pretty sure this is gonna look geat :p !

***

Well... This is quite an epic order for me & I can't wait to get it ! 

What about you guys ? Did you snatch anything ? ^_^
