La Dolce Vita

The sweet life begins one day at a time.
Vintage rose hats and cotton frocks are a good start to keeping life sugary cool in the summer heat.
Here's this morning's sweet-life outfit.









Oh noes there's spiky prickles in there!





This morning's sweet-life ensemble:
1950s cotton wiggle frock, 1950s hat, earrings: all Etsy
Sunnies, white beaded ring and 1950s lizard skin bag: Melbourne
Leopard-print bow tie: Hot Legs Helga
Fence net tights: eBay
VW Melissa mary janes: on sale via the delish Suzanne
Brolly, green velvet bag and bangles: thrifted

Afternoon delight outfit:
Time to cool off with The Stylist behind the lens.




The Stylist and I thought we were safe from prying eyes by sneaking into this alley-way.
It didn't work, the uproar over this get-up followed us wherever we went.
I thought it was a pretty tame outfit actually.






 This afternoon's sweet-life version:
Hat: Etsy
Top: Kmart
Bettlejuice leggings: Black Milk
Docs: retail pressie from me-to-me
Earrings, bangles and brolly: thrifted
1950s Lizard skin bag and vintage glass beads: Melbourne

Consider your fondo dolce (sweet arse) pinched.
Love Desiree xoxoxo

    Mmmm, the Princess of Pout is back!
    Looking hot AND cool, Desiree, how clever are you?
    I love your wiggletastic frock and the hat is spectacular!
    I bet you did turn some heads in those leggings, even when lurking in an alleyway! Look at your gorgeous legs and fondo dolce - who could resist a sneaky peak and a cheeky pinch? Not me?
    Hope all is well with you and yours, been thinking of you, love. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Wah, that dress! It looks fantastic on you. You look gorgeous. I love that you decided to wear the blue fishnets and VW's. The fact your crotchal area is so defined in the 2nd outfit qualifies as riske to me, just because I'm odd about crotches though hah, I feel nude if anybody can see my shape so clearly as wearing tights like that does. Power to those who can rock it confidently though!

    Love the orange Umbrella.
    I have an orangish vintage umbrella that has a hook on it so you can carry is like a purse in case you need to use it. It wouldnt poke people walking by, it stays vertical.
    all umbrellas should be that way

    Des the dress is totally gorgeous & your legs in those blue fishnets *OWWWW OWWWW*. Also those shoes are gorgeous and go so well with your choice of leg wear.
    When I first saw the prickle picture before reading the caption I thought you were falling... *ahahaha* then when I read prickle I fully understood the look on your face.

    I love your beetlejuice leggings (Was one of my fave shows as a kid)
