    The weather is finally starting to warm up, and we are out of lockdown. I have been aching to feel the sand between my toes for some time now and unfortunately, because of the pandemic, my holiday to Jamaica was cancelled.

    I was looking forward to going back home. However, I must confess I was more excited about parading around the island in my lovely vintage summer dresses and beachwear; I curated an excellent mixture for my island getaway.

    Among them, was this beautiful Pinup Girl Clothing vintage inspired bathing suit. I say vintage inspired, truth be told this bathing suit looked and felt authentic to the untrained eye and you would think it came straight from the 1950s. It hugs the right places the rouge details are perfect for any problem areas I felt absolutely confident in it.Lady Eccentrik

    I didn’t make it to Jamaica because of the travel restrictions with the ease of lockdown my friend invited me to the Isle of Wight. There wasn’t any tropical breeze or coconut, but as I laid on the beach and closed my eyes for a moment I could escape, and it felt like I was right at home.

    First Outfit Post 2018

    It’s another year! 2018 to be precise. Last year was an effective year for me. I was able to collaborate  with a few different Vintage inspired brands. Which gave me the opportunity to try out different looks for example my pinup bombshell  Lola dress  from Violets in May or my 1940’s Inspired Mae tea dress from Rock n Romance. These two dresses are on the opposite scale both inspired by different era’s.

    As I develop my brand/image I feel its necessary to experiment. I am not saying you need to stick to one particular look. However it is my preference to do so. I am on a mission to find “The Eccentrik Look” yeah! when you see me you should know it’s me 😊. Think of it this way, have you ever known someone that has a favourite perfume and anytime you smell that scent you think of that person? Well, that’s my aim… anytime you see that look I want you to think of “Eccentrik”.

    This year I plan to mix things up and make my fashion more diverse. This means I will be including Modern trends while keeping my pinup aesthetic. It has come to my attention that some  of my reader’s adore vintage fashion. However, they are somewhat hesitant to do the entire look and it can/feel like a mission to find My look.

    I also want to inspire you on my journey. Therefore I will be showing you that you can mix it up – Vintage with Modern trends.
