Ruffles and lace have to be the case!

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 are they an outdated relic of the Victorian era or a fun option to experiment?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.

I start off with dresses, I have so many kinds with ruffles I really had to choose my favorites.
First up is this gorgeous vintage inspired pink leopard and swallow print ruffle trim halter dress, it
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.

This pink houndstooth and bat print dress is also in the pink, but its got a super classic princess cut. the ruffles add a flirty edge to it:)
going for a more fighter attitude? try this pinstripe "mosh pit addict" princess dress with ruffles. I added corset ties on the sides for contrast to the masculine statement of the dress.

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. 
If your a hopeless romantic  go for the heart print one, but if you want to rock out you have to go with the skull splatter and leopard print!

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.




Pinup is always a good style choice, looking great on both curvy and boyish cuts. This red and white polka dot and swallow print halter top is so flirty and sweet, I added the ruffled hem to give it a special touch.

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.
One of my favorite skirts is this metalic fleur de lis print cheerleader skirt, I added a metal D ring and hook applique on the front to complete this vixen skirt.
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.
