Hell Bunny lemonade zest! Get into some yellow today

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 25 2017

We’ve just had a huge drop of new season Hell Bunny as well as all your old Hell Bunny favourites. So of course Hell Bunny is going to feature heavily in this week’s super zesty outfit of the week!

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.

And of course you can’t just stop there. You need to add accessories! A vintage inspired wardrobe is all about bringing the whole outfit together with cute matching jewellery and bags. 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. Of course the perfect thing for this outfit are the lemon earrings. We also have adorable lemon cardie-clips and brooches.

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?

So there you have it – a super cheerful outfit of the week! Have fun ladies…

Chocolate gold

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 25 2017

Gold is the new black. Chocolate is always chocolate.

Our friends at Holi Boli have brought us a brand new design for spring and summer 2016/17. Introducing the gorgeous Lucy dress. Our Holi Boli dresses always begin when Ana sends us photos of fabric from her local fabric market from which we choose our colours. She then buys the whole bolt of fabric and the women at Holi Boli make as many dresses as they can. Sometimes there is only enough fabric for as little as three dresses. We have been lucky with this gorgeous chocolate fabric and we have have several dresses ranging in size from Small to 2XL. That does not mean you can relax – there is a maximum of two per size and sometimes just one. If you love this dress – you must buy this dress now or risk missing out forever.

And what have we matched with this pretty chocolate dress? Why gold of course – in my humble opinion – gold goes with everything always. Lippy Karla has to step in from time to time to prevent me from making Two Lippy Ladies look like a gold emporium.

Pictured with the chocolate Lucy dress is the stunning Hell Bunny belt which is a perfect match. In a sparkly stretch fabric with gold toned findings they are blinging perfect.

But wait. This spring has given us the most insanely changeable weather. One minute beautiful sunshine – then next thing you know we are digging out the cardigans. Well as usual, we have you covered. We have these fun Banned Apparel cropped cardigans in black with gold lame. So pretty!

It has been a very exciting week at Two Lippy Ladies with so many new arrivals. We could not be happier than to welcome back our old friends Sugar and Vice to Two Lippy Ladies.

Sugar and Vice have been making their unique and eye-catching jewellery since 2009.

Their designs are always substantial, always original and always incredibly well made. The perfect match to our outfit of the week this week are these insanely huge, beautifully gold, mirror bamboo earrings.

So this week we want you to get yourself some fair trade, Holi Boli goodness and match it with gold, gold and more gold!

Vixen by Micheline Pitt

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 24 2017

Introducing Vixen by Micheline Pitt to New Zealand.

Vixen by Micheline Pitt white Vixen top

We have been fangirls of Micheline Pitt via the wonderful world of Instagram for some years. When she announced in April that she was launching her own label we fell over ourselves to become retailers. Waiting as the collection went from sketches to actual clothing has had us on the edge of our seats with excitement. The arrival of our box of beautiful t-shirts and pins this week was met with actual screams, and possibly a small happy dance.

For those of you not familiar with Micheline Pitt – she is an artist, designer and make-up artist based in California. She cut her design teeth at Pin Up Girl Clothing before breaking out on her own this year to release Vixen by Micheline Pitt. Her t shirts and fabrics carry her signature style of dark and quirky illustrations in figure hugging cuts. And best of all, her range comes in sizes XS to 4Xl – meaning most of us are covered.

Micheline is working about as hard as one woman can to get her designs onto the market. Very soon we will be adding to our range with skirts, dresses and tops. They are guaranteed to be gorgeous.

Vixen by Micheline Pitt is a young brand that we believe is going places, and we can’t wait to see what happens next.

Good things for bad girls.

Lady Voluptuous from Lady V London

Written By Lippy Ladies - July 23 2017

We were enormously impressed by Lady V London’s catalogue and ethos when we stumbled upon them via Instagram late 2013. We love that they have chosen to go against the grain of modern manufacturing and make their dresses where they live – in London. Lady V London specialise in beautiful vintage inspired dresses and their fabric choices are to die for. And to make us love them even more, Lady Vintage has established the beautiful Lady Voluptuous range.

The popular Lyra dress

Lady Voluptuous is a collaboration between Lady V London and fabulous blogger Georgina Horne of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust. The dresses are designed specifically with the curvaceous figure in mind. Georgina wanted to provide curvy women with options that until now, haven’t been widely available – “Figure hugging, fab prints, great necklines”. Georgina has named the dresses after her favourite fictional characters and so far we have welcomed Ursula, Cosette and Medusa to Two Lippy Ladies. (My Mum used to call me Medusa when I misbehaved as a child so this is my personal favourite).

Ursula

Georgina herself is modelling the designs and we think she looks amazing. She has worn a corset in the photo shoot. We have tried the dresses without corsets and they still look and feel amazing. Click here see every day women wearing their Lady Voluptuous dresses with and without shapewear. For the Rosa dress Georgia is wearing a petticoat underneath to achieve the very full skirt. You don’t need a petticoat with the dresses but if you would like one, check out our range here.

Lady Voluptuous Rosa Two Lippy Ladies

Rosa

Georgina says “I want to create more and more awesome and daring designs and not put a limit on what plus size women should wear. We want options and I want to provide them.” Georgina, we cannot wait to see what you and Lady Voluptuous come up with next!

You can find our range of Lady Voluptuous dresses here. Which is your favourite?
