This is a post from our personal blog Junebugs and Georgia Peaches but we thought it had a home here and decided to share it with you guys!  We'd love to hear what you think whether you're a seasoned PUG shopper or a first time buyer.…

Appleton Pin Up Girl Enters National Vintage Awards 

You are being called on to vote for Appleton Pin Up Girl, who are up for Best Vintage Fashion/Lifestyle Blog category in this year’s National Vintage Awards.

Taking place in Central Birmingham on Thursday 19^th June, the national awards ceremony has been created to celebrate the independent businesses who keep the vintage scene alive.

Many of you will recall the rebuke Andy Sachs(Anne Hathaway) earns in the film The Devil Wears Prada from her boss Miranda Priestly(Meryl Streep) about the route taken by cerulean from when Oscar de la Renta presented his first collection in that color until much later, when it appeared as the reason’s color in department stores all over the world, representing millions of dollars to the fashion industry. It’s a vain discourse, but a truly admirable one because of the great amount of…

Since I have started dressing in the PUG/Vintage style again I have noticed something: People treat me with more respect.  Now, I do not mean to indicate that people were disrespecting me before.  It's more that now people do little things that they didn't do before, like holding open the doors, bowing (weird at first, but I'm get used to it), and using honorifics (ma'am, Ms., etc).  

I have also noticed that the compliments that I get are different.  Rather than some cheesy lines…

If you were to ask anyone who has known me for longer than 2 minutes they would tell you that I am not really a dress girl. I live in jeans, which isn't too unusual considering that this is the 21st century. As a California girl I have the luxury of wearing sandals, shorts and tank tops almost all year long. We really do have some fabulous weather. Now I have loved the pinup girl style since I was a teenager. However I always…

As some of you may know by now, I have put together a few meet up events here in the LA area over the last year and a half or so. It is just part of my nature to try to be an organizer. And in fact it is part of my professional training. But I digress. But I must admit that it is partly due to one very selfish reason that I put these things together. And that is that I want to meet and connect as friends with other pinup women. None of the things I've put together have had…

Hola!

So, I've been getting a lot of questions about my petticoats lately on my personal blog, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches, and my instagram regarding how I'm able to get the skirts of the pieces I wear so "full."  I even had a couple of girls accuse me of holding out of them, I would never! haha.  After working on my outfit round-up blog post for the…

Hello guys, it’s me Tahitia again and I’m here to talk to you about why you’re ready to rock a high waisted bikini this summer even if you don’t know it yet.

In fact here’s something that you might not know, despite what comes to mind when you hear the name “bikini”, a true bikini doesn’t have to be limited to the “bikini panty” or “string bikini bottoms” as beauty & fashion magazines & television would have you believe. In fact just googling the likes…

Is there a time and a place in 2014 and beyond to wear a bullet bra?

The age old question, do I want torpedo shaped breasts or don't I? ;)

As any vintage collector can tell you, mid-century fashion often times takes inspirations from different cultures. We have Mexican circle skirts, Hawaiian/Polynesian print clothing, western wear and various novelty prints that depict scenes from all over the world.

If there is a plumeria/hibiscus/orchid on it...it'll be worth at least…

The other day I got the "why do you dress like that?" question.

Normally, most of us are used to getting that question - being head-to-toe vintage is not a mainstream fashion choice and it piques attention when someone outside of the scene encounters it. One of the reasons why (I think) it's such a confidence booster to dress this way is because it is different and it is sexy and wearing this clothing is almost an armor - it's one of those things we know more about…

Dapper Day Spring 2014 in Orlando just so happened to fall on my 25th birthday! It was the perfect way to spend the day for me. I wore my PUG Birdie dress which I chose and purchased specifically for the occasion! I am completely obsessed with this dress. 

It was really, truly my favorite birthday thus far. I can't deny that I do love attention and I certainly got a lot of it yesterday. I can't even count how many times I was stopped by people asking to take my picture. My favorite…

Feeling Blue..Tiffany Blue

Hands down, my Spring's must have is the Micheline dress in Tiffany Blue.

No matter your size, this dress is Sexy with a capital S.

I can't…

Hey everyone, it’s been a little while since I've regularly posted here but I want to make a real effort at getting both my Great Lake Pinup blog started again as a regular feature as well as being a regular contributing member of the Pinup Girl Style community :)



After all I'd never want you guys to think that I'd stop loving PUG because I promise you that will NEVER happen :)



Anyways you can find my full review of Pinup Girl Clothing's I Am C3P0 Tunic …

This is another post from my Personal Blog, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches but I don't know how many of my readers there are as in love with PUG as I am, and I know you ladies are!  This is a little story of my wait for the Neverland dress and what happened the first time I just so happened to wear it.  I think it's my lucky dress!…

I know this post was VERY late but I figured that someone would enjoy it so I didn't forget about it.

On January 8th, 2014 I received an email that would change my life and I didn't know it when I saw it.

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is check my phone despite not being…
