Spring Blooms

Hardley Dangerous Couture

Spring has to be my favorite wardrobe season as a vintage enthusiast. It allows me to wear all of my favorite pieces with out having to hide them under layers of fabric so I don't freeze to death. As the warm weather continues to roll in, my best looks are being pulled out of the darkest depths of my closet and shaken off. As a "pinup" girl, a lot of my wardrobe consists of beautiful vintage inspired dresses. Recently I was given the opportunity to style one of the most recognized new brands in the industry. 

If you are a follower of pinup and retro inspired brands the name Hardley Dangerous Couture should be familiar. With big named pinups everywhere strutting car shows and gracing their photo shoots with these designs, Hardley Dangerous is quickly making a name for itself in the pinup clothing brand market. The designers behind Moonboot Studios which is the independent design house that turns out the Hardley Dangerous brand, are Claire and Chase Marshall operating out of beautiful Wildomar California. Hence the name Hardley Dangerous Ca. Claire is a knitwear designer by trade who focused her talent and designs towards her love for classic silhouettes. Chase is the brains behind the amazing custom graphics. Together they are creating an amazing brand that retro loving girls are going gaga over.   

See below how I styled one of Hardley Dangerous Ca's most popular dresses the "Cherrybomb" Dress and see the multi optional shoulder design that can take this dress from lunch time with the girls to sexy date night in two seconds! 


I paired my beautiful Electric Turquoise Blue Cherrybomb Dress with some fun bright yellow accessories to embrace this beautiful warm seasonal weather. 

My Look Involved These Pieces & Their Brands

 Yellow Lace Bolero Shrug and Yellow Petticoat  by Lindy Bop
Yellow Sandals by Nicole Simpson bought off Zulily 
Silver tipped cat eye sunglasses by DyStyle 
Yellow Hair Flowers handmade 

Multi Way Shoulder Design 

The Hardley Dangerous Couture Cherrybomb Dress has a very versatile should strap design that can pull of both laid back casual looks as well as a sexy night out off the shoulder option. This is as easy as how you adjust the width of the shoulder. Below I give you examples of each.

Style 1
The original style of the Cherrybomb strap. Delivers more modest shoulder coverage for a feminine classy look. This look gives the dress a lot of vintage appeal. Easily worn to weddings, Church, school activities and family outings.
Style 2
When the shoulders are pulled in tighter you get more of a laid back casual tank dress that is perfect for daily outings. This provides a retro classic look that is great for lunch dates with the girls, shopping trips, park days and so much more. 
Style 3
The sexiest of the three wear options is the off the shoulder look the Cherrybomb dress provides. Due to the perfect and well done execution of this dress and the size  fittings, this option is possible and comfortable. No slipping down or worry on your dress showing more skin than you want. This is date night perfection.


I want to thank Hardley Dangerous Ca for allowing me to review one of their most popular dresses for all of my lady followers.

MCWTD: FInal Thoughts Recap_Eps 5

As I sit here drinking another cup of coffee I am thinking about my newest episode being way to long. "No one wants to listen to you talk that long." I tell myself. I always compare my content with other bloggers and YouTuber's and wonder if I am wasting my time. I suck at the lingo you are supposed to use in the videos these days. "Don't forget to like and subscribe!" "Ding that bell!" I mean I always try to remember to say those things but am I really any good at it? It feels weird to push those things. Not natural. Annoying to the follower I always worry. Maybe I am just over thinking things. Maybe I am just a worry inside my own thoughts condemning myself for still being different in ways that aren't the norm. Sigh.... The deviled eggs were boss though. So there is that silver lining.  Signed, The Doll #MCWTD_RECAP  I hope you enjoyed this weeks MCWTD and also let me know if you try the egg trick and how it works out ...

Mommy & Me Photo Shoot with Baubles & Soles

Sponsored by Baubles & Soles  "One shoe... Endless possibilities."  Baubles & Soles was created by a new mom with a simple plan looking for a more effective way of providing shoes that made more sense not only for a child's wardrobe but also for parents wallets. She struggled with the same issue that many parents struggle with, their child needing multiple pairs of shoes to match outfits just for them to Seen on Shark Tank   outgrow them in a month! So she had an idea. Children out grow shoes so quickly so why not create the need to only have to replace one pair of shoes instead of five and have that one pair of shoe hold the place of all of those shoes at once! "One shoe to go from playground to party." One shoe to replace but multiple options that continue to grow with the child. It's brilliant!! For the next two years she worked endlessly with her family creating the ideal shoe that she herself would be proud to put on her own ...
