Wardrobe Wednesday: Proms For Princesses

I always think American girls are so lucky - you get to dress up like princesses many times during High School.

At home there's only one formal dance around graduation - I think it's a shame.

The main reason for this theme today is the most amazing dress I've ever seen - seriously - you all need to go have a look at this:

Brought to you by PranceAndSwagger - it's pricey, but if you want a dress that can be passed down and gain giant amounts of value - it's the dress for you.

Another Stunner - this one is a Ceil Chapman (!) from houseoflemoore

For those extreme girly girls amongst you, check out this one from johnnyvintage - they even have a picture of the original owner wearing it:

This last one is reserved for some lucky girl - but it's worth going to havwe a look for the amazing detail at the shelf bust - they just don't make dresses like this any more:

The Urban Goddess is coming...

As most of you know, I've been exploring my creative side the last wee while - some of my  experiments haven't gone so well - but I was at work the other week, and my boss said to me -

'Siobhan - you should accessorize more'

Now, I work in a very style conscious environment, so I wasn't offended at all - it actually made me realise that I've gotten completely out of the habit, mainly due to tiny little fingers wanting to play (read: destroy) Mummy's pretties.

And also, as most of you know, we're really rather poor right now with DH being off work with his back.










So I started making things, and they've turned out really well- so well that soon Blythe Hopes Vintage will be adding an UrbanGoddess range, accessories that are made from vintage components with modern twists - a perfect way to enhance your vintage wardrobe!

Vintage Party Dress

I have to say - I LOVE the 50s and 60s prom dresses - there's something so hopelessly romantic about them.

I remember seeing pictures of my mum all dressed up for dances, and thinking that when I grew up I'd get to wear dresses like that and look like a princess.

Well - at least I get to wear them for a bit before they go off to their new homes...
