my timeless closet.

Open up to the 1950s thoughts of Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Gucci, Cristobel Balenciage, Burberry and Pierre Balmain, and step inside my timeless closet. Bask in the glory of 50s icons Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Laugh along with the witty sitcom characters of Lucy Ricardo and Alice Kramden. Then, be drawn back to reality and see 50s inspired celebrity fashion of Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese. You’ll be amazed what you’ll find in my timeless closet.

MISS ROCKABIILLY: PRETTY IN PINK.



 "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe 


Emma, otherwise known as Miss Rockabilly, sells vintage inspire handmade goodies such as hair accessories, jewellery, and other trinkets. Her look reminds you of a vintage styled Elle Woods, with a twist of corporate Barbie, and a splash of the prim First Lady.  Sourcing her clothes from stores that stock popular vintage inspired labels, Emma pulls together a girly yet sassy manner. The Chanel Suit was an important icon for the 1950s, with Coco Chanel producing her famous suit in 1954, which Jackie Kennedy wore. If you want this look, this jacket is one from Friends of Couture and the skirt is sourced from Bettie Page, a vintage and rockabilly clothing label inspired by the 50’s icon Bettie Page. This look can be accessorised with pink and black rockabilly pin up polka dot bows, available from Emma’s Etsy store for $6, or a cute pink pin up lace fascinator for $16.50. Emma’s inspiration comes from 1950s Pin Ups such as Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe. She also draws on modern Rockabilly culture to create a unique range of handmade product. Check out these lovely trinkets at www.missrockabilly.etsy.com.
