Ruffles! are they an outdated relic of the Victorian era or a fun option to experiment?
Big small lace or tulle, ruffles are certainly a matter of taste, but to tell you the truth, I havent met many girls who dont like a small lace ruffled trim, its all a matter of how much and where you put it.
Personally I love ruffles, I love that you can add volume where its needed, or accentuate an area you want to show off with them ( great trick to all you girlys who want to create curves, a ruffled bikini will surely do the job!). Ruffles have a wide variety to me, from fru fru delicate girly innocence to stiff Victorian ruffles that stand up on their own, I think ruffles are a great way to celebrate femininity and have some fun, from small delicate ruffled pantys to big dramatic ruffled collars, every girl should have a piece that represents her!
in my collection I use ruffles in all prints materials and sizes,I love playing around with them to create drama or accentuate a part of the body.
inspired by a classic pinup dress cut, but the frills on the bottom give it a sweet girly touch.
Still in the pink but going bright fuchsia, this
pink zebra yoke dress has got a pink zebra bow on the front and the oh so needed ruffles to give it a funky touch.
Another option is this
ska print princess pleated ruffle dress. the main colors are black and white but you can add a splash of tint by adding a colorful satin ribbon to the corset in the front. I chose pink:)
And now for the two darlings of my dresses, these two have the same cut, super flattering with a
corset on the front and a tiered layered ruffle skirt with loads of lace to complete this girly fantasy.
I have 2 options in these, one is a super cute pink and black heart print and the other is a leopard skull and splatter print.
For tops I have a few super cute options, like this
pink leopard yoke and ruffle top, its in baby pink with 2 heart buttons in the front completing this super adorable look.
Need something even stronger? this
pink zebra ruffle racer top will definitely do the trick! the ruffles give it a sort of a butterfly effect that i just love.
A waist clincher as you know for me is a must, it really adds a special touch to any outfit.
These two are certainly up to the task! Going for a kawai look? this
red bunny and leatherette waist clincher has a corset tie on the front and a black lace ruffle trim around the edges, cute with style!
If your into something more "black tie" this
black on black fleur de lis waist clincher is definitely for you. again with the black lace ruffle trim, I added a white corset tie on this one to compliment the black.
And as always skirts are on my mind. go wild with this
orange houndstooth ruffled hem mini skirt! its got a lace trim on the ruffles and a sweet lace bow with a heart stud on the front for just the right touch.
Or you can try this
blue and black polka dot skirt, with a ruffled hem and a classic swallow print on the front, its super lightweight and just perfect for those hot summer days.
While I was looking for accessories I was surprised to see how inventive people can be when it includes these beloved ruffles. just check out these awesome finds I have for you!
This
white tool hair bow by Folk is just so effortlessly perfect, just clip it on and your ready to go, perfect for those special events you just don't want to spend hours getting ready for, this will definitely do the trick!

As for scarfs and neckwarmers, there were a dime a dosen, but these awesome pieces just stood out, they are definitly items you should check out!
making it a beautiful item to add to any closet.
I have a special place in my heart for crochet items, I think they have a homey feel with a warm vintage touch, and Im a huge fan of granny chick as you may know:)
the crochet lace neckwarmer by mademoisellemermaid plays on that completely, I love the classic cream color with the cuddly feel it has and the awesome lace trim!
This next option is really a statement piece, the
venetian lace large ruffle collar by labellefairy is a great way to add that old world touch to your basic items, I think it will look amazing over a gray dress or just a plain black turtle neck.
All my photographer friend, listen up! I didn't abandon you!
If your looking for a classic option for night look try this
ruffle clutch by letsglamup, eggplant purple and lavender is always great color combination and the volume of the ruffles is just beautiful.
