Ellie Plans A Wedding!

Her own, to be exact! 

I've been engaged for just over a year now, and my fiance and I have finally settled on a date! 

Dates, actually. 

We have family and friends in to separate states, Florida and Connecticut, so we decided to hold two ceremonies in both states to include everyone! 

How does this relate to the PUG life? 

Well, I've decided on one dress already! 

I've had my eye on the Ava for quite a while, and now I've got a really good reason to…

Happy Birthday Mr. Fonda 5/16/1905 - 08/12/1982

I wanted to say Happy birthday Mr . Henry Fonda . Born May 16 1905. The reason Why posted this is because well he is one many amazing Gentlemen actors I have ever seen act . We really don't see that anymore now in the 21st century in male actors . Here is one of my favorite movies along with Ms. Lucy. Your's Mine's and Ours ! And Of course a film that made me cry was Big street with her also and you will see a very young Endora from Bewitched in this film .

Spring Hauling and Bucket List Checking

Hey everyone! It's Tahitia here and I just wanted to say hello and and let you all in on some things that have been going on in my life.



For starters, I've never been this busy before in my life and I'm having just so much fun in the process. It's taken a while but so many things that before I used to say "I'll get around to it" or "Maybe some day" are actually happening now, and so much of it started with Pinup Girl Clothing and this community.



I couldn't have done so…

Pomegranate Sangria Gelatin





Anyone who knows me knows I have a little problem (okay, a huge problem) with collecting gelatin molds. I have no idea where my fascination started, but I imagine that it has something to do with my childhood, and that we had vintage copper gelatin molds on the wall in our kitchen.




Many people frown upon gelatin – they associate it with ‘hospital food’ or with being ill. I can assure you that this recipe will remind you of neither of those.…

PUG for Work, PUG for Play, PUG for life (A Review of Separates)

Greetings beautiful PUGsters!

I'll preface my review by saying that I work in a project management position in an academic medical setting in NYC, so when purchasing PUG, I always have to consider if I'll be able to wear that item to work.  Sadly, I spend more time at the office than anywhere else and commute almost 3 hours each day, so I generally try to purchase *somewhat* practical items, and stay within the bounds of decency for professional purposes.  Luckily, we don't have an…

Pin-Me-Up Progress Report No. 3

Fail.  Across the board.  I've worn active wear 70% of the time these past 2 weeks and haven't put much effort into hair or makeup. 

BUT! I have excuses.  (Excuses are a pet peeve of mine, so I apologize for giving them.)  1) I took on a big project that helps my husband, but takes up my free time and, frankly, my excess motivation, and 2) I am currently 2 months pregnant (yay!) so morning queasiness and depleted energy levels are zapping any "oomph" left in me to put effort into my…

Pin Up Girl Means Friendship

If you have read the previous blog posts I've written, you know that through PUG Style I've have met some wonderful people and had some great experiences. Well, I am back. And I am here to tell you that PUG Style has allowed me to meet some more great people and to have some new great experiences. After the last shopping meet up I had with some of the So Cal gals, I thought I would ask if anyone was interested in going out for afternoon tea, a proper British tea. I got some interest…

Pin Up on a College Budget

I'm a full time college student with a part time job. My tuition is paid mostly by scholarships and one or two loans (yay, debt....). Occasionally, I get a refund check - meaning that the amount of money paid by the scholarships and loans combined was too much! 

So I use that refund money to buy from the PUG clothing site. In the meantime, I have to pinch my pennies and go thrifting (which I've had to do my whole life - my family has never been well off) or go straight to the sales…

PUG through thick and thin....

Hi everyone!

At the weekend I received the most amazing self esteem boost whilst wearing PUG and I realised I hadn't updated everyone after my last blog post which can be read here, so I thought I would take the opportunity!

The last two months have been incredibly turbulent, I don't really know how this post is going to turn out so you may have to bear with me a…

My Blog - Shared by Dita Von Teese!

Hi, 

I have been away a little lately, started a new (although only temporary) office job, hitting the gym 2-4 nights a week and blogging like a mad woman. Time just goes in an evening, much quicker than when I'm at my desk in the day at work for sure!

Some of you may remember me putting the link up to my blog when I first put it together in January.

You Can Pin Me Up, But You'll Never Pin Me Down: How Pinup Saved My Life

I’m sure that title sounds like an extreme statement. “Pinup saved my life.” But I honestly don’t know where I would be without the pinup community.

 

To understand how pinup saved my life, you have to understand why my life needed saving. It was 2010 and my confidence was at an all-time low. How I felt about myself was completely dependent on what others thought of me. I was a successful student working my way towards a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies while simultaneously…

Newbie Alert!

Hi!! This is going to be a bit all over the place, my apologies ahead of time.



I'm Ellie, and I've been falling in love with the PUG style a little at a time for the past three years. Last year, I tumbled all the way and I haven't looked back since! 

First off, I'm 19. I have so much time to stock my PUG wardrobe and make it perfect! I'm really glad I discovered the PUG website when I did. 

The first dress I bought was the DD L'Amour. WOW. I did NOT expect it to…
