Katrina Paradise Dress from Heartbreaker Fashion

Posted on | Leave a comment

Katrinaparadise

With one of the keenest eyes for retro chic out there, Heartbreaker Fashion has become something of a favourite of ours. This Paradise Dress is the perfect example of why, with stunning vintage inspired looks, great construction and a reasonably affordable price tag.

Shown here in the Katrina print fabric, the dress has an irresistible 50s pin-up vibe, combining a Hollywood glamour with Hawaiin take on exotica. The result is a dress that clings that curves to create a bombshell silhouette, while the sarong ties at the waist and shoulder mean this is a lot easier to wear than it looks.

Get it now from Heartbreaker Fashion online for $90.

Ava cushion

Remember Crumpet and Skirt's charming 'tease maids', found at the bottom of one of their pin-up mugs? The company is taking that pin-up style out of the kitchen and into the kitchen/boudoir with their new cushions. 

The cushions come with a choice of four luscious designs to pick from. As well as Ava, pictured, there are cushions available featuring Kim, Maureen and Lana – all executed in the same retro style. 

With beauties like this beckoning you, who wouldn't want to stop for a sit down? However, if you need a further enticement, each cushion comes with its own duck feather pad. 

The cushions cost £37 each.
