Who do you want to dress up as for Halloween?
We know, if you are anything like us, that come the end of August you cannot wait for the first excuse to pull your trusty boots out of the closet. That satisfying feeling when you step out in them for the first time in Fall is only matched by that first cosy evening snuggled up by the fire with a big mug of cocoa. Even better though than wearing your favorite pair is allowing yourself to browse all the other wonderful boots online for some Fall outfit inspiration.
Boots have become an essential part of any shoe collection and are now not only reserved for fall and winter, they can also form part of your ensemble all-throughout the year. From variations like flat boots, platform boots, wedge boots and heeled boots, to ankle boots and thigh-highs, at Pixie Cove Boutique we love them all as long as they are absolutely gorgeous. The only difficulty will be picking just one, so go ahead and indulge!
If you have a passion for vintage then you are going to love these oxford inspired lace up knee high boots. These gorgeous boots are made from top quality leather, decorated with a oxford shoe trim design, come with a solid stacked heel and comfortable front platform. Pair these with your favorite fall dress and tights and you will have an outfit for any occasion!
Sometimes you need something cute and functional like these Waterproof Chelsea Ankle Boots. Whether you are heading for afternoon lunch with the girls or a weekend getaway these boots will work equally well with your skinny jeans or a cute skirt, all while keeping your feet warm and dry.
You know you mean business when you step out in the right boots and these Dr Martens are the right boots for making a statement. Dr Martens are renowned for making durable, comfortable boots and these calf-length leather embroidered boots are no exception. Wear them with your favorite jeans or try for an edgy look by pairing them with an a-line swing dress.
We love Fall Colors and these Dr Scholl’s Booties in Cooper Brown are perfect for your Fall Wardrobe. When you want a bit of height but still need comfort and stability then wedges are the way to go. We can picture these with turned up jeans or a wooly skirt and tights.

There is no doubt that pin-up styles that harken back to the mid-20th century are appealing because of their charm and innocence. With cute, flirty, curve-loving fits, pin-up fashions are easy to translate into today’s world. But, what about the history of the style and what about having the right pieces to establish a fully stocked pin-up wardrobe?
Think of the most iconic pin-ups such as Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable or Rita Hayworth and you think killer heels, red lipstick and pulled-up curls with bangs to flatter their foreheads. Wearing a polka dot bikini or an A-line dress, or even black stockings and garter belts (Betty Page style) they were considered pin-ups because their posters were meant to be torn from movie magazines and pinned to a wall.
You could go ahead and fulfill your pin-up fantasies wearing your favorite style, but you can also make that style toned down and ready for everyday wear with a few key pieces.
In the 1950s, A-line dresses were the rage. Introduced by designers like Christian Dior, these dresses are still in style. Wear them to parties, wedding receptions, or special events. They feature a narrow waist with a skirt that flows outwards like the bottom of a trumpet.
Another important piece is a pair of cigarette pants. These taper at the ankles and feature high waistlines. Start with black so that you have a tailored look you can easily pull off at your next meeting. These are also cute enough to pair with vintage bamboo-handled purses, cat-eye sunglasses and an oversized straw hat with kitten heels for a Saturday stroll.
Tops and blouses can be of solid colors but choose a few where a little bit of décolleté is visible. This way you have those which you can wear on the weekend and those you can wear with your cigarette pants to work.
Cropped sweaters are also a plus if you want to look like a true 1950s model. Choose pink for extra femininity.
For any of these above-mentioned staples, you can also incorporate colors and patterns. Flowers, cherries and polka dots are extra vintage!
And don’t forget to match your nail varnish and lipsticks for that complete look.
To create a pin-up fashion look any day of the week for any occasion, you have to have the right shoes. Bring together an assortment of high heels in black or red patent leather along with open-toed sandals, kitten heels, and flats. Start your collection with the basic solids like red, black, white and navy.

Gloves are for the die-hard 1950s style lover, and why not add them to your look? There was a time where women dressed up just to do the grocery shopping – at least that is what June Cleaver seemed to do. While her character never quite made it to pin up territory she was very au currant for the late 1950s in her styles with white gloves for a dinner out with her husband or for running errands.
Headbands are also great accessories to have on hand. Roll a bandana up and tie in a bow at the top. Place around your head and you have instant pin-up worthy hair that you can show off even while painting a garden fence. For this type of weekend activity, you will want to wear a pair of rolled-up Levis and an oversized men’s shirt.
Get the complete pin up look below and you will be well on your way to channeling Betty Davis or Marilyn Monroe – strike a pose!
Achieve this look by pairing a vintage flared dress with a cropped cardigan and Mary Jane style pumps. Finish the outfit with a matching clutch purse and oversized sunglasses. And don’t forget your eye lashes, nail polish and lipstick. The pin-up style is one that has fallen in and out of fashion. But, in today’s ever-changing world, women like you want to keep this innocent but fun look alive. You can do it with these pin-up style tips and some essential pieces.
The fashion industry has always shown a special interest in the clothing styles of past eras. We have seen these trends making their way back into our closets year after year. Everyone, from celebrities to models to social media fashion influencers are going crazy over the retro trend. If you want to know how to nail the retro trend then you have come to the right place. So, let’s get started!
The 40s era was all about polka dots in all sizes. From dresses to tops to swimsuits to skirts to shoes, every fashion article featured vibrant polka dots and women loved sporting them. To nail this 40s trend, grab yourself one of these Vintage Tea Dresses, available in a wide selection of colors.
If we could bring back one accessory from the 50s, it would be slim cat eye sunglasses that were made famous by the sultry style icon, Marilyn Monroe. Even though this style is vintage it has a very futuristic appearance which makes it perfect for all the eras. These Retro Cat Eye Sunglasses are all you need to add a touch of the 50s era to your accessory collection.
A retro outfit is truly incomplete without a pair of high, open toed slingback heels, especially if they are sporting a gorgeous polka dotted pattern. Top your look off with these retro black and white polka dotted high heeled pumps.
A vintage clutch will end up being your savior when you’re looking for an accessory to add class, glamour, and charisma to your final outfit.
Complete your look with a cherry red lipstick and a red silk neck scarf for a feminine touch and you will be ready to go. Let us know in the comments where you would wear this retro outfit to?
