I LOVE vintage shopping. Even more so I love doing it with my partner in crime Heather- owner of Vavoom Pinups www.vavoompinups.com. So when the Randolph Vintage Market invited Vavoom to do a pop up booth at the February market how could we resist?! Sara and I did a Vavoom hair and makeup transformation on a VP client live then Heather shot her in various outfits throughout the day while we all talked to guests and handed out cards. It was a great day to meet fans and future clients and of course get a little shopping in! Check out IG and Facebook for all the photos!

We were so excited to be able to participate in an awesome fashion show at Underground with Vavoom! Factor models and VP vets came together to show some retro glam Vavoom style! Check out some more photos here: http://mikedooley.tv/uc/nggallery/page-3/


 
 
So I spent the last few days of my 20s in Las Vegas. Is it wrong to book an entire trip around wanted to go shopping a little??
I wanted to hit up a favorite pinup destination: The Bettie Page store!! www.bettiepageclothing.com 
I love this little boutique set in the Miracle Mile Shops in Vegas! I tried to stay focused and was able to successfully walk away with two new dresses. Thankfully they were out of stock in my size on a few others or it would have been a VERY expensive trip. Now that I have tried on about every dress in their current stock I know my sizes and I can't wait to order more!
I know I will be wearing my new wardrobe staples for the upcoming wedding of the lovely owners of Vavoom Pinups as well as any shoots I have there!
 
 
You may or may not know but all of us at team Pretty Windy City are artists at an amazing place- Vavoom Pinups!! www.vavoompinups.com
We do the hair and makeup that transforms even the most shy wallflower into a glamourous retro vixen. Shoots can be individual or parties. Of course one of our favorite types of parties are bachelorette parties!!!
When getting married in Chicago the bachelorette party options can seem limitting: destination ($$), bar hoping, drag show (although we love that) or dance party? I mean really what are the options?
So I LOVE this great write up from beuweddings!! Bachelorettes can have a blast at Vavoom!!

And of course you can ask for Julia or Mary and Sara as your hair and makeup!
