Full Moon Horror and Tattoo Festival 2015

Hello Again!

Yes, this is my second post in a week! What in the world is going on?

This post is a bit, ummmm, late. Ok, ok it's 3 months late! But I always have such a great time vending at the Full Moon Horror and Tattoo Festival, and I wanted to share that with you. 

This year, Full Moon was held over Mother's Day weekend, which is fitting somehow. My buddies Amber and Shelly took turns watching Sophie so I could attend for most of the day on Saturday. 

What did I wear? Well, I purchased these to awesome pinup dresses at Torrid last Spring. 

1) Torrid Skull Swing Dress 2) Torrid Anchor Polka Dot Swing Dress (sold out)

I feel more comfortable in black, so I chose to wear the skull swing dress. 

I love this dress! I need an excuse to wear it again. I haven't worn the red one...yet.

It was a fun day! It was good to get out of the house, see friends, hang out with my Aron and sell our wares. 

I spotted a bunch of cool tattoos...

....and some rad costumes. I wish I had taken more photos! It was a great show, as always. 

I'm enjoying these lunch time blog sessions. Next time, that entertainment post I promised. Back to work for me!

Thanks for stopping by!

An Early Spring

Hello Again!

I was beyond excited when eShakti contacted me to review a dress from their Spring line! Spring is my favorite season, and I am hoping it is an early one, and that the frosty days are coming to an end. 

I chose to review this gorgeous polka dot number. It is still chilly here in Tennessee, so I paired the dress with this cropped red jacket. 

Dress: c/o eShakti 

Jacket: Deb Shop

Shoes: Naturalizer

Hair Flower: Lola's Lovelies

Lipstick: MAC Russian Red

eShakti offers gorgeous clothing in sizes 0-36, and offers custom measurements on all of their items. As a plus size lady, I respect a company that caters to women of ALL shapes and sizes. eShakti also offers customization on most of their garments. Would you like a shorter skirt, or a different sleeve option? They can do that, and more. 

I simply love this dress. I chose the standard size 20, and it fits like a dream. I adore the quality fabric, and the full, A-line skirt. I might even pair this with a crinoline for a more 50s feel! 

Would you like to try one of eShakti's fab frocks? What Lola Wants' readers can use coupon code LLRCKSCLTH for 20% off, valid until March 20th.

Social Whirlwind

Hello Again!

The first Saturday in February was a bit of a social whirlwind for me! I knew I'd be out and about for most of the day, so I decided to wear my favorite new outfit.

When I spotted this Wet Seal dress on Kirstin Marie's blog, and knew had to have one for myself! I even picked up this rad little leopard jacket. 

Jacket: Wet Seal

Dress: Wet Seal

Leggings: Forever 21 Plus

Bow Flats: Target (old)

Necklace: Lola's Lovelies

My first stop on social-palooza was a rad ladies cookie party in Nashville. We all made cookies for exchanging and tasting. These ladies can bake, and were a blast to hang out with! Sara was an amazing host, and made the yummiest food and drinks.

 Later that night, I headed to a Bunco party with Kelly & Hannah. This was my first time playing Bunco, and I had a great time! I was surprised to learn that, because I had the most total Bunco's, that I was the winner for the night! (I rarely won the table, so winning never even crossed my mind!) It was nice to hang out with this rad group of ladies.

Yay for social whirlwinds! It was truly a fun day.

Beatersville Car & Bike Show

Hello Again!

I hope you are all having a fab week! As promised, here is the last post from our visit in Louisville.

We spent out last day in Louisville at the Beatersville Car and Bike show. I tried my best to dress for the heat, but I failed. But can you really win when it's 95 degrees outside?

 Top: Belks

Skirt and Tank: Forever 21 Plus

Bag: Betsey Johnson

Sunglasses: Target

 Here are some rad rides from the show:

After looking at some amazing vehicles, we stopped by the Phoenix Hills Saloon to check out the Pretty Things Peepshow's act.

After the show, we wandered around in the heat for a bit, then decided to head back home. Here is some rad horsey art for your viewing pleasure.  

 We spotted our T-Rex friend on the drive home. He says "Hi".

Thanks for reading!

The Tiki Dress Came Out to Play

Thank you for all of the nice feedback on my pinup class post!

As promised, here are some more good times in Louisville.

After the pinup class, Aron picked me up and we headed out to dinner. I decided to wear the Tiki dress I snagged at the Dressbarn Blogger Event. I am a bit obsessed with the Retro Tiki look, and this dress really has that pinup vibe.

Tiki Dress: Dressbarn

Bag: Betsey Johnson

Shoes: Torrid

Me and Aron

We headed over to a restaurant called Limestone. It was a little pricey, but the food was yum.

 We had a couple of pretty drinks

Limestone had an impressive Bourbon selection.

We had burgers for dinner and spice cake for desert.

Thanks for stopping by! My last Louisville post will be next week, all about the Beatersville Car show.

Pinup Girl Class

Hello again!

I bet you are wondering, "Who in the heck is this chick?" It's me-after my pinup class with Go-Go Amy and photoshoot with Boudoir Louisville!

As most of you know, I have a deep love of pinup & rockabilly culture. I've been a fan of Go-Go Amy and the Pretty Things Peepshow for a few years now, and was thrilled to see she'd be teaching a pinup class in Louisville, KY. The class took place the same weekend as Beatersville car show, was held at the fabulous Boudoir Louisville studio, and even included a photo session after the class!

Aron and I drove up to Louisville in the morning, and he dropped me off at the studio while he went and checked out local comic shops. We spent the first few hours of the class learning about the history of pinup, trying out makeup techniques, and having our hair done.

After our makeup and hair was complete, we dressed in our best pinup gear, and had a photoshoot with Ryan from Boudoir Louisville. Ryan and his assistant were awesome! I was nervous before the shoot, but they put me completely at ease, and I actually had fun! Here are a few photos from the shoot:

I wore my Heidi dress from Pinup Girl Clothing.

Stay tuned for more good times in Louisville :)
