Pre-Viva Shopping Party at Roadkill Ranch
What a lovely weekend we had! This past Saturday afternoon we had our Pre-Viva Shopping sale, hosted by one of our favorite stockists - Roadkill Ranch! Roadkill ranch is am amazing store that's been catering to both rockabilly babes and boho-chic fashionistas of Fullerton since 1991!
We were joined by lovely Nicholle of NicCoCo Creations, one of the newest and most popular designers of pinup hair flowers.

Our wonderful host ladies at Roadkill Ranch provided sangria and treats! YUM.
We got to shop and hang out with some of our customers too!
A big thanks to everyone who came out to party with us - we had a spectacular time! Keep your eyes peeled on our facebook for all the news on upcoming events.

Heart of Haute History! The Original Halter Top
Cherry Dollface
Jasper James
The Heart of Haute Halter Top is now available on our website for order. I realize these are short tops, but I always advise those who don't want to bare their bellies to layer it over another halter or seek out a high waist-ed skirt or pants.
Here's to an excellent summer, Heart of Haute lovers. Grab your halter tops for only $28.99!
We will be adding more print options in the coming days.

Let's talk about Teer Wayde
During Viva Las Vegas, my crew of lady friends (Katrina, Tara, and Sabina) and I were busy preparing for a quick photo shoot with the darling and dreamy Teer Wayde of Melbourne, Australia. Teer has been a fan of Heart of Haute for years and we've been a fan of hers! In her blog, Curves to Kill, she shares her favorite finds as well as product reviews from various fashion lines. We are happy and honored to be among the brands she favors and reviews!
While I was having my makeup done by Sabina (because I was also shooting that day), I had a ton of questions for Teer. So, I had a verbal interview with her as my eyelash glue was drying. It was kind of comical talking to her with one eye nearly glued shut, but I guess that's my way of doing things. Casual, short, and sweet. I personally wanted to know about her and get her opinion on a few things as well.
So here are some fun facts about Teer:
- She enjoys Celtic Punk music.
- She started her blog 3 years ago after numbers of people would e-mail her with questions about where she got her outfits for photo shoots. She thought it would be simpler and more effective to blog about the products she shoots in, that way the companies would receive recognition and her fans would get some great info, too!
- Teer found Heart of Haute while shopping online at PinupGirlClothing.com, one of our retailers.
- She loves Heart of Haute for our fit and overall quality. She says she adores the Ella top because the buttons don't pucker over her bust. Yes! A button-up blouse for busty ladies? It's true.
- Teer is also recognized as a plus size model and reminds us that beauty should never be associated with a dress size. She says she is definitely a promoter of healthy body image. Love your curves, girls!
- Her advice to ladies of all sizes? Girl. Wear what you want. If you've got it, show it off and be proud of yourself.

Meeting Teer was a good thing and I'm so glad we had the opportunity. Girls like her are truly inspirational. She is a sweetheart and a joy to be in the presence of- this girl is for real! Even though we spent about an hour working on the photo shoot, I can tell she is a genuine person that means what she says. Thank you, Teer! I really appreciate you taking the time to come over for the shoot and talking with us. My friends and I were fans before, and of course still are. It was just really cool to meet you!

The Sweetie Dress: The Ultimate Sundress
I recently received this e-mail from a happy customer named, CarlyAnn, about our ever-popular, Sweetie Dress.
My name is CarlyAnn, and I just have to say I love your Sweetie Dress. I have never, NEVER been able to find a dress that fits my body off the rack without a single alteration- and certainly not online! I took a chance and purchased my second Sweetie thinking that maybe I just got lucky with the fit of the first one. But low and behold, it's two for two! I simply need to thank you for your amazing product! Please don't ever retire this cut!
Thank you, CarlyAnn for your testimonial!!!

Viva Las Vegas: Angie Alamilla's Style Guide
Viva Las Vegas. Swing Dancers, Rockabilly and Vintage Enthusiasts flock by the thousands from all over the world each year to make it to this massive event! It's like a subcultural adult prom that occurs every year.
I've been going with Heart of Haute to vend since 2006. One of our employees, Angie Alamilla, looks forward to Viva every year! In fact, Angie has created a basic style guide for the Viva-goer. A car-show look, a casual day-look and an evening-look.
While there are TONS of events going on at Viva, one of my favorite things is to see what other girls are wearing. I especially love walking around and spotting all the Heart of Haute out there, too!
We will have all of these items available for sale at the car show!
(with the exception of the Marsielles dress).
The Car Show look:
Tres Noir "Ultra Lux" Sunglasses
The Sweetie Dress This print will be exclusively sold at Viva Las Vegas and not on our website!
The Casual-Day look:
and the Vogue Pencil Skirt in Black
The Evening Look:
The Marseilles Dress from Heart of Haute
See ya in Vegas!
