Hello sweethearts! If you are here, reading this, I'm sure you were eagerly expecting the
launch of The Fifty-Five Collection. I was super excited when I heard that Campbell
Crafts is making their own designs! When I saw the pieces of the Fifty-Five Collection,
a house brand designed
by Lins and inspired by Palm Spring, I was blown away. All of my pastel spring
mid century dreams were fulfilled.
So, when I got a surprise mail, I knew I will love what I
see because The Fifty-Five Collection provides pastel, floral print and gingham
galore inspired by the surroundings of California, and trust me, I dream about
1955, just cruising on my bike in the playground of Palm Springs.
Under cute The Fifty-Five Collection by Campbell Crafts business
card there was a swing skirt in large blue gingham. I immediately knew how I
will style it because the colours are gorgeous and the aesthetic of it fits
perfectly in relaxed summer afternoon on the beach or bicycle riding. And since
I don't have a beach nearby, cruiser bike ride it is!
I paired my blue gingham
skirt with light white blouse with pin up brooch, dark blue cardigan (to match
the dark blue buttons of course) and white sandals. But let's talk about the
skirt! As a part of The Fifty-Five Collection, a swing skirt in large blue
gingham features a timeless, flattering and ageless cut. The pastel colour and
50's
flair of the skirt fits the brand identity that Campbell Crafts has created
over the past 5 years.
This full circle skirt is made out of soft, light and
stretchy fabric perfect for summer. Although I wear petticoat below full circle
skirts, with this one is not the case because it is a summer skirt and it would
be too hot, but also because the large contract buttons are real and the
opening goes all the way. So you can throw a little sex appeal by unbuttoning a
few of the buttons and show that leg girl.
Size guide on the Campbell Crafts site says that my UK10
size skirt has a 72cm waist and almost 74cm length. If you are in between sizes
go with smaller because stretch makes it very comfortable. You can notice that
the skirt is tailored longer that the usual knee length 50's skirts. So if you
are tall or like your skirt a bit longer you will find your match in The
Fifty-Five Collection of skirts.
For me it is important to keep my style, it's a huge part of
my identity but in this busy world, finding 'me' time becomes harder and harder.
If you have a full time job and family The Fifty-Five Collection is great for a
day at the park. Or you are always in a hurry, or (let's be honest) you have a
cheat day and just don't want to bother with makeup and fancy dress, this relaxed
yet flattering fashion still holds that vintage aesthetic. Are you a 'baby pin
up' and you're still not sure if this is your style? You can mix and match pieces
to create your own vintage inspired wardrobe!
I am beyond happy with my skirt and I love The Fifty-FiveCollection by Campbell Crafts. Honestly, I can't wait to see that will come out
next and all the gorgeous girls styling this and future collections.
Much love,
