Pretty in Pink




A weekend treat to the peepers here folks.....
Some shots and stills form one of Lola's favorite films of all time, the 80s classic Pretty in Pink,

The outfits in this film speak of a style generation of American teens mixing and mis-matching their way through school dances and proms with DIY dresses and customized jackets...

Get the look with a wealthy hand full of vintage brooches and pin badges, denim jackets,pretty floral skirts, boy cut blazers and the all important bowler hat and head scarf.

Spring time Styling.....



Here's another look at Trend No.1 ,my first styling session for the look!

Vintage 80s wedding dress revamped skirt with american 80s tights and 50s heels, mix it up and get your layers and ruffles out this spring time-
Combine 80s florals, tights or denims with netting and petticoats for a pretty in pink 80s look.... all packed up and ready to go!

For a sleeker fit try vintage slips or underwear layered up with tights, tshirts and denim jacket and kick ass boots for a grunge themed but feminine style for the spring time...

And remember, Lola's Vintage Wardrobe now offers a "Finders" Service; anything you are pining after whether that sonic youth tshirt, 3 tier cakes stand, the perfect 80s sunglasses or 50s prom dress seen in a movie.... email a description, the price you'd like to pay, and a similar image if possible to :

info@lolasvintage.com

and i will find it for you and post it to your very door! How's that for service?!

ruffles and romance



Mood board no. 1 for one of this summers hottest trends! think 90s courtney love meets alice in wonderland at a garden party - pastel shades, satins and lace mixed with washed out denim and sneakers, throw on a leather jacket over a vintage slip and voila!

I've been sourcing some really beautiful 60s slips and baby doll nighties, layer these over a white tshirt for the underwear as outerwear trend this season also,
