Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?
Red lips, eyeliner flicks and ebony victory rolls.
A swing dress obsessed classic pinup girl in my heart and my soul…
Dear Miss Victory Violet, I love your blog!! Was just wondering how you would go about doing hair styles with really long hair? Mine comes down to past my bra strap and is averagely wavy. I am contemplating cutting my hair so I can do pin up hairstyles […]
It’s amazing how many vintage reproduction or retro inspired brands there are across the globe! When I first started ordering online from retro inspired brands back in 2011 (ish), I was like a drug addict… finding a new website bought such a thrill and Miss Candyfloss in Sweden […]

I’m a hardcore colour matcher and don’t shy away from pairing less obvious shades together. So I thought I would put together a bit of a reference for those of you that might want some inspiration or have a old outfit you’d like to jazz up in a […]
I love having nail extensions and have now had them permanently for just over a year. My natural nails were always pretty terrible and working as a hairdresser never helped since they were wet and exposed to chemicals constantly. I absolutely love having long pointy (stiletto) nails but have […]
When we went on holiday for 6 weeks back in March, one of things that really excited me was the prospect of getting to shop instore with some of my favourite online retailers! There were several of these shops in London and the first thing we did when […]

I wasn’t planning on organising any photoshoots while in Vegas for Viva in April but when I heard that Lars/ Made In Eighty was coming, I knew I had to shoot with him. Lars creates magical images that put a real spin on traditional pinup photography. They are […]
I love finding inspiring women on social media and last week I came across Megan / @bodyposipanda and was immediately inspired by her positive attitude, gigantic ear-to-ear smile and incredibly beautiful outlook on her body. I knew I had to have her on the blog and asked if she would like to share […]
When gathering up outfits to shoot at MOTAT a few weeks ago with Elizabeth J Photography, I was specifically looking for more 1940s inspired pieces. The Heart of Haute Manhattan Dress in Burgundy radiated just that- 40s sophisticated and class. MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology) has wonderful […]

It’s really only in the last year that I have become brave enough to ditch the cheap ballet flats and order pretty retro inspired footwear online. Buying shoes without trying them on first had always had slightly disastrous consequences but I’ve come to know what things to look […]

On Monday morning I held a live Ask Miss Victory Violet session on Facebook and had a great response with lots of questions and chat! For those of you in parts of the world where you were fast asleep during the session, I’ve got all the questions and […]
I’ve been getting a ton of request for a tutorial for my day-to-day eye makeup so I decided that after over a year since swearing off videos (I had some major editing issues last time), I would try again. I’ve borrowed a fancy shmancy camera, worked out editing […]
Recently I have been really gravitating towards the 1940s style after years of being very much focussed on the 50s. Don’t worry, my love for bright floral swing skirts will continue, but every once and a while I crave the sophistication and elegance that 40s attire can bring, […]
