Two Lippy Ladies at the Very Vintage Day Out

Written By Lippy Ladies - October 25 2017

The countdown is on! There is just a few short days until the Very Vintage Day Out 2017.

Two Lippy Ladies will be there! To find us head upstairs to booth 91 (near the main stage).

We are very excited to be showcasing our favourite brands. Here is a taster of what we are bringing:

Lady Vintage

As the North Island's only authorised seller of Lady Vintage we of course will be bringing pieces from their new range. Made in London with love with new shipments arriving at Two Lippy Ladies every week - we always have a gorgeous range in store and online. Now is your chance to come and see what all the fuss is about.

Cry Cry Cry

Cry Cry Cry is a brand new label out of Wellington. Fran (formerly of Swonderful) designs and makes her own range and has sent us a small, but perfectly formed, collection to showcase at VVDO. Cry Cry Cry dresses sell like hotcakes in store in Napier so make sure you head to our booth to see what all the fuss is about.

Sugar & Vice

Sugar & Vice designers and makers Sarah and Matt make the COOLEST and most original laser cut acrylic jewellery. Unlike bigger acrylic jewellery companies, Matt and Sarah design and make each piece themselves in their UK studio. We will be bringing pieces from their brand new tarot inspired AA17 collection as well as many old favourites. Make sure to come and see for yourself why Sugar & Vice have built such a loyal following over the last ten years.

MAK Sweater

You asked - and we listened - we are very pleased to be able to bring a range of MAK Sweater's classic cropped block colour cardigans to Very Vintage Day Out. We will have having exclusive VVDO two for one specials so make sure to come see us first as we do think these will sell out.

Bok Bok B'Gerk

Bok Bok B'Gerk make the cutest laser cut wooden, hand painted jewellery. Michelle and her team make all their jewellery in house in their Australian studio and it's all just too adorable. We will be bringing their gorgeous new Christmas range to VVDO. We thought the gingerbread house brooch is the perfect accessory to the Hell Bunny Gigi dress (below) - so why not get them both!

Hell Bunny

Hell Bunny need no introduction. They have been one of our favourite, and strongest, brands since our inception. We are always excited each year to see what Christmas range they will release and we LOVE the Gigi dress. We will have sizes XS-4XL at the VVDO - so come and see us and get your Christmas ON!

We will also have their classics - capris and circle skirts - just what every pin-up needs.

Sun Jellies

Nothing screams summer quite like Sun Jellies. We will bring you allll the summer colours in their cute retro baskets. Perfect for storing all your shopping as you peruse what's on offer at VVDO 2017!

Petticoats!

And of course - our exclusive high quality unicorn, circus and paua frilled rainbow petticoats! Do not leave the VVDO without coming for a twirl.

As you can see the Two Lippy Ladies booth is not to be missed! If you are in Auckland this weekend make sure you get to the Very Vintage Day Out. If you are at the Very Vintage Day Out, then be sure to head up to see us in booth 91 first.

See you there!

She wore lemon

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 25 2017

This week we introduce another of Lady Vintage’s brand new prints for 2017. The lemon print! We have chosen the Isabella dress in this print and it is adorable. Gone is the Isabella’s detachable bow from previous seasons and instead we have cute lemon toned buttons at the bust. Lady Vintage have added a thin belt that matches the buttons and trim of this pretty dress.

What you have is a sweet cotton dress, with a capped sleeve, making it perfect for this transitional season.

Obviously you can’t rely on the autumn weather from dawn til dusk to not surprise you with a cool breeze. Not to worry – we have got you covered. We thought that the indigo bolero from Banned was a great complimentary colour that brightens up the outfit without over-doing, washing out or over-powering any of the colours in the dress. Boleros are a wardrobe staple. They are so easy to wear, a perfect length for you 1950’s style dresses and available in so many colours.

We’ve given you two ways to accesorise this ensemble. First up – we present our favourite statement necklace. Sugar and Vice are second to none when it comes to bold statement pieces. Their dragonfly necklace is nothing short of spectacular. Each part of the dragonfly are linked together with joiners meaning the necklace shapes and sits perfectly on your chest. The reflective material catch the light making it quite dazzling. We just love it. The green tones in the necklace are a great match to the leaves in the Isabella dress.

Finally, while you are out and about, you are going to have to have a cutesy matchy-matchy tote bag to carry all your essentials in. The Sun Jellies Fiesta Gina totes in green are so fun and so fabulous. This vibrant tote is almost all you need for autumn. Who cares about mushy leaves and grey skies if you have this in hand?

We hope this outfit of the week has inspired you with a big splash of fun and colour.

Teddy Girls

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 25 2017

This week’s outfit of the week steps away from our usual dress obsession and is inspired by the 1950s Teddy Girls.

This tomboy look grew from a rebellion against post war austerity and was influenced by Edwardian fashion. The girls who dressed this way looked quite shocking stood next to the feminine silhouette that was in fashion at the time. We just think they looked damn cool.

We’ve recreated the look with a modern twist. Team our Hell Bunny Ronnie capri pants with the Banned twist and shake top. This cute light knit is perfect for autumn and will add that edge of working style to your wardrobe.

Put the look together with our brand new head scarves and a Sun Jellies tote.

You know what makes a vintage inspired look really work? It’s that mix and match of old and new. Hit the op-shops to find that perfect vintage blazer and your look is complete.

Head over to Miss Victory Violet’s blog for some hair inspiration to make sure you’re dressed from head to toe.

The Hell Bunny Ronnie capris should be a staple of every vintage inspired wardrobe. Such a versatile, flattering capri. They can be teamed with all your cute tops and tees. They look sweet with your favourite flats or dressed up with some cute heels.

We have teamed our capris this week with the brand new lemonade top. This top is peasant style in cotton – perfect for this summer heat. The print is really gorgeous, featuring bright yellow lemons, green leaves and white lemon blossoms on a black background. The same print is also available in a stunning dress.

We have no shortage of bright and fruity accessories at Two Lippy Ladies. The latest Bok Bok B’Gerk collection features a whole range of fruits and fabulousness.

And finally you need a bag. At this time of year you will be outdoors a lot. Whether it be the farmers market, beach, pool or just a saunter around the town – you simply must get yourself a Sun Jellies retro basket. They come in a riot of bright and cheerful colours. With this outfit you really can’t go past yellow. Failing that – why not try black?
