The other night I went to see The Great Gatsby. While I wanted to see the film for the story, the glamour, and the costumes, I found myself grinning and whispering quietly to myself “he is so handsome” upon see Gatsby himself… or Leonardo Dicaprio, rather. So this post is really just a vain little post full of vain, but gorgeous, pics of Leo… for all the gals out there….
Your Welcome. xoxo
On Thursday night Rowena had a little party to celebrate the release of The Great Gatsby. There was a sale, a giveaway, cupcakes, 1920′s jazz, and all the staff dressed up!
I made sure to get plenty of photos to share because all the gals looked smashing!
The 1920′s was all about glamour and carelessness…or atleast that’s what I like to think anyway.
This sassy gal totally looks the part- from head all the way down to her vintage Chanel heels…
I got my gold, flapper style dress from a thrift store in Hawaii and I figured it was perfect for the occasion
While Rowena carries mostly 40′s-60′s inspired clothing, with the right accessories you can make a bunch of their dresses appropriate for any 1920′s evening.
(mind the glare)

While I was in Vegas in February, I stopped in at the Bettie Page store in Ceasars Palace only to find a lovely little white swing skirt. I almost always shy away from white…White only looks good when it is crisp and clean, and well, white. I decided I liked it too much to pass it up, besides it would be great in the summer. Oh and I got it for an amazing price! Recall my recent profession of love for swins skirts? So, really it was destiny that I found this skirt.
I wore it with a chropped grey t-shirt from a generic store in the mall, my Fly London heels, and a white hibiscus flower
This skirt was so comfy today especially now that summer has decided to actaully show up! It was one of the first nice days this year and I figured it was the perfect time to wear this pretty skirt for the first time.I think I will search out a cute red or blue top to wear with it next time; I am totally digging cropped tops right now too- I think they look great with swing skirts.
Are you into swing skirts this season too? Have you found a perfect one yet? I’m still on the hunt for more
Last night I got to see The Beach Boys. When I was very little, probably, around five, I went to see The Beach Boys with my family- it was an outdoors concert and I vaguely remember it, but it is one of my earliest memories. I think I have always loved The Beach Boys and when I heard they were coming to town, I knew I had to go!
The performed at the River Cree Casino in a very intimate venue- I was so surprised when I walked in to find that it was much smaller than I had been expecting. Our seats were not super close, but no seat could have been considered a bad seat!
I decided the event called for a new dress and a little extra time getting dolled up! As soon as I saw the Sassy Tropical swing dress from Hell Bunny and I knew it was just the dress to wear to see The Beach Boys! I love to get dressed up when I got to events- I think it makes it even more fun, even though I kinda knew not many other people would be dressed up.
I paired it with my Dolce Vita wedges, a white hibiscus hair flower from Hawaii, and a strange green cherry necklace I got at the China Town market in Vancouver a few years ago.
The show was so good and I couldn’t stop dancing! I recognized all but maybe two songs of the dozens they played! They sounded so good despite being much older than the last time I saw them-in fact they sounded just as if they were still teenagers!
I had so much fun! I definitely recommend going to see them- it was a better show they I expected and I had a huge smile on my face the entire time!
I loved my outfit so much, I took a few more photos when I got home to share with you…
I got my Hell Bunny Sassy Tropical dress at Rowena and you can can get yours there too- they also have one in light blue if you don’t fancy black. And if you don’t live in town, you can check out RetroGlam.com to see what they have to offer.

I hope you all had a swell weekend!
Last Thursday night, Rowena took part in the Whyte Ave Shop Hop! A bunch of stores on the ave participated in a shop hop, where they cross promoted one another and had awesome sales! All the Rowena gals got dolled up, baked some cupcakes, and had a ton of fun at the sale!
There was a wicked sale both upstairs and in the basement and a ton of people came down to take advantage of the good deals and yummy cupcakes. If you still havent “liked” Rowena’s face book page, I suggest you get on it so you won’t have any excuss to miss out on their next amazing sale!
I have another outfit post for you! Again, I had a few minutes to spare while getting ready, so I seized the opportunity and took some photos of my outfit. I purchased the hellbunny anchored swing skirt a couple of weeks ago…I actually bought it the same day it was unpacked from the box at Rowena. My summer obsession this year will be swing skirts. They are so flattering on my body shape and are both fun and casual, as well as classy and sexy. I especially like to wear cropped tops with swing skirts, which is the only time I can justify wearing a cropped top ( on myself anyway).
I paired my anchored swing skirt with a lil zebra print tie up top from Forever XX1, gorgeous bordello shoes from Rowena, black fish nets with a red back seam, and my most prized piece of jewelry -an anchor charm necklace from Tiffany.
This skirt has two anchors on the pockets, thus named the anchor skirt, and white stripe trim along the bottom. I had to size up as the medium was just too snug ( although I still wear a medium in the flamingo print skirt); there are two cute white buttons on the back above the zipper as well.
I got mine at Rowena and you can get one there too, or if you don’t live in town, you can order one on RetroGlam.com. This hellbunny skirt is the perfect summer swong skirt! I am quite happy with all a ton of the hellbunny this season, so keep an eye out for more posts on all the lovely items I get this summer!
