Bait Footwear Winter Styling

It's mid winter here in Australia and even though we have mild winters in comparison to the rest of the globe it still can get chilly here. 
I'm a lover of stockings and always have been and I love mixing them with Frocks in winter. A way to be warm as well as stylish.
I was thrilled to learn that an Australian online store Velvet Vixens ran by the wonderful Lisa became sellers of the fabulous BAIT Footwear from America. As it can be a challenge both financially with the low Australian Dollar and high postage costs to get BAIT here it was such a joy to find that Velvet Vixens was a stockist. I have purchased 2 pairs of BAIT from Lisa and I love them both. I have the BAIT Ione in the Black and the Red colourway. They are truly divine. They have the shine of Patent leather with the knowledge that they are vegan, a win all round. Now there is the challenge with buying in sizes that are not the same as Australia but I researched and read that the Ione and Ida were a smaller fit so being an Australian 8 I sized up to the 9US and am thrilled. Now the BAIT does take a little breaking in but I have not had an ounce of trouble with them. 
I have 1 outfit showing the versatility of the BAIT Footwear. My trusty Denim Frock and Red top with Black Rose Belt and Stockings. Either Colourway of the BAIT can go easily and looks great and feels fabulous. 
Now if you too would like to have a look at what Lisa stocks, head over to Velvet Vixens, you won't come across a more professional store. Excellent service, fast shopping and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The added bonus is that you can also see the range of Frocks, Shoes, Jewellery and Makeup the store has. 









 




Hell Bunny Pony/ Cupcake Frock

One of the very first Pin up frocks I purchased was the Hell Bunny My Little Pony Super Sweet Cupcake dress. Now I call Dresses Frocks. Why you ask? Back in the day they were called Frocks, not sure if it's solely an Australian thing but I love the word. It carries conutations of times past, of ladies dressed in the vintage garb. It's vintage love at its best for me and makes me feel like a Pin up girl.
Now this frock, made by Hell Bunny is a vintage inspired reproduction style. Hell Bunny are known for their dresses, skirts, cardigans and belts. Their sizes range from XS to 4XL. I take an L in most Hell Bunny and this frock is an L. This frock is a halter style but I have changed to straps over the shoulder. An easy process and far more comfortable for me. There is a zip up the back and it has shirring elastic which makes the frock very comfortable. There is black and white polka dot trim around the base, the two front pockets- which is a bonus, around the waist and the neckline and the straps. There is also three black small buttons down the front of the dress which add such a vintage feel to the frock. The cupcake and little pony pattern adds a whimsical feel and a hint of two shades of pink and a small amount of Aqua. I find this dress so comfortable and it makes me feel so pretty and in a good mood. The fabric is light cotton and is well suited to Australian hot summers. 
It certainly gives me a Pin up feel and due to the colour range you can accessorise with so many colours.
