Red and Pink - Switch It Up You Big Romantic and Wear These Colours Together!

We'll be colour blocking our way into this week! Whether you celebrate Valentines or ignore completely, there's nothing wrong with taking a little timeout to show your love and maybe spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest. 
Personally I'll do something nice with my kids on Valentines and hopefully squeeze in a date-night with the hubby at some stage during the next week or two. It won't be much different to any other week but love is important, essential in fact, so why not spend a little time being grateful for the family, friends and partners that are part of your life.
Just for the heck of it I'll be wearing lots of pink and red! 
Below are some original vintage images and then vintage dresses from Dirty Fabulous in an array of fabulous pink and red tones to inspire!
Have a wonderful week and remember "you are loved!".

In Love Photography in Dirty Fabulous!

The lovely Wim, from In Love Photography called in to see us recently to take photos of our bridal boutique and to find out more about Dirty Fabulous.
Wim did a great feature on us on his blog, which is super. 
Our paths had crossed several times before this. In Love Photography have shot our wedding dresses in inspirational and real bride shoots.
Wim is currently in France on another photoshoot  in which the model will be wearing one of our 1940's wedding gowns. We can't wait to see the results!
Until then have a look at the first time a Dirty Fabulous dress appeared with In Love Photography
