Aurora Princess Castle Print Dress at Deadly - official UK stockists of Pin Up Girl Clothing

We were lucky enough to have a few of the Aurora Fairytale Castle Print dresses in stock a couple of weeks ago and after posting them on the Deadly Facebook page they sold out faster than any dress we have ever had!

They are from a Pinup Couture Limited Capsule Collection so we didn't think we could get any more - then, as if by magic, more have arrived!

I couldn't resist trying one on this time and boy oh boy do I wish I hadn't - now I really want one all for myself!



The belt comes with the Aurora dress (£120) & is perfect for cinching in your waist!



We are so very proud to be official UK stockists of Pinup Couture - the quality and their determination to continually bring something bigger and better without straying from their vintage style roots is inspirational... And frankly, their clothes are to die for!

Thanks to Lauren for snapping some photos & to Gomez for posing with me - I really do love my job so!

Information about vouchers and coupons at Deadly

Well, it has been an outrageously long time since I blogged. I am a bad, bad girl and I am very sorry.

I am determined to blog more - I think little and often might be the key!

The thing that has inspired me to get back into it is some recent confusion over voucher and coupon codes.

As you may well know, Deadly is a pretty tiny company (in the grand scheme of things, in my life it is huge!) and so we try to keep our prices as low as possible all the time while balancing high quality and hard to find items that will make you feel a million bucks. We occasionally run special offers, when we have something to celebrate like our 5th birthday last year or when we want to say thank you, like when we hit 50,000 likes on Facebook! These always run for a limited time- sometimes a few hours to a few days and we try to always make this clear but sometimes you may need to check the date on the post.

It seems that some voucher code websites pick these codes up - which is great - we are happy for as many people as possible to benefit, but they keep them long after the coupon has expired. They also make it look like the code is still valid which can lead to a disappointed customer - and that is the very last thing we ever want!

So please keep this in mind when you use these sites and if you are having any difficulty or confusion please drop us an email at info@deadlyisthefemale.com and we will do whatever we can to help!

Well, that was a fairly dry return to blogging blog post. But hopefully it is some useful information that might help avoid some disappointment.

Here is a photo of Daisy and I behind the scenes on our last photo shoot to help brighten things up a little!


Catch up on all the behind the scene fun by following us on Instagram - just search for @deadlyfemale

Thanks for reading & we promise to blog more!

Vintage Inspired Summer Outfit Solutions!

Yes summer is a little bit hit and miss but we can either hide indoors, under our duvets (tempting sometimes, I know) or we can put on our best red lipstick and get dressed up anyway! 
We are British, we aren't going to let a little rain spoil our fun!

With that in mind we've put together some vintage style outfit ideas for some typical summer occasions...

First up, we are off to the Races...


Ascot is just next week and it is the perfect excuse to get all dolled up!
We've selected the Marilyn Dress (£95) in cherry red with a black waist sash. It's fun and flirty, can be layered easily and when you team it with our accessories you'll be sure to turn some heads.
We've chosen the Cherry Rose Hat (£135) (You really can't go over the top at the races), our Vintage Style Evening Bag in Black (£70) and classic Red Satin Pumps (£35).

Races not your style? How about a Pool Party?!


Yes, we are hoping it is an indoor pool or off on a tropical location, but we girls can dream...
You can't go wrong in one of our Classic 50's style Swimming Costumes. We have a range of colours and prints to suit everyone and the fabulous form flattering fit is a dream whether you are a size 8 or 18. 
We've selected this hot pink retro one piece bathing suit (£65) and teamed it with turquoise accessories - a chiffon scarf (£8.50), Frenchy Sunglasses (£10) and the Curves Handbag (£50) as you always need a place to keep your lipstick!

Summer is also Wedding Season...


A wedding is one time you can happily get dressed up and enjoy yourself. We know you want to look fantastic but not like you are trying to steal the lime light - worry not, we are here to help!
This outfit is classic and elegant but not too attention grabbing. We adore the Seeing Stripes Dress - a 50s style dress (£100) which can be worn on it's own for the day, then why not add a petticoat for the evening do?! We've added the Ascot Hat in navy (£115) with Nora shoes in blue (£45) and ever optimistic, the Katherine Sunglasses (£10) - also helpful if you're prone to shedding happy tears!

Sadly summer isn't all play - we have to work too...


Workwear can be tricky, especially if you want to show off a little bit of your personality! The pinstriped Madison Dress (£95) solves all your problems. It is businesslike and elegant but you will look and feel amazing! If, like me, you can't face heels all day, these Glitter pumps (£65) are a wonderful option, who can resist the cheeky Kitty Geek Glasses (£10) and the Sin City Bag (£60) ties the whole look together perfectly.

After all that hard work, you surely deserve a cocktail?!


Everyone need a classic little black dress and the Ellie Dress (£115) is a great choice! This elegant and demure dress hints at a naughtier side and can easily be dressed up or down. For early evening cocktails we've accessorised with the kitsch Fruity Clip (£22.50), the Drinks On Me Bag (£25) - how could we resist - and the delightful Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon Bow shoes (£120).

 Dreaming of Sunshine for a Garden Party


Garden Parties are the ideal occasion to dress up in florals, whether you are off to meet the Queen or sipping Pimms under some bunting in your neighbours back garden. We've selected the oh-so romantic Carmen Swing Dress in Pale Pink (£135) which can be worn with or without a petticoat. We couldn't resist pairing it with the Carmen Hat - a fruity and floral delight (£135), the dainty pink satin pumps (£35) and the Queenie Bamboo Bag (£32.50)

Hopefully that has given you some inspiration for all your summer occasions!

Behind the scenes of a Pinup photo shoot at Deadly is the Female

We had a photo shoot for the website on sunday - shooting brand new goodies from Stop Staring! Trashy Diva, Pinup Girl, Esther Williams and SO much more.

We like to keep you all updated so if you are a Vine user, you might have spotted our behind the scenes videos. If not, we've collected them all below so you don't miss out on the glamour or hilarity!


This is Daisy who was our 60's sex kitten for the day. She is wearing the Monica Dress in Turquoise.




This is Katie, who we styled to look more 1940s and she is in the brand new Honey Dress in purple (coming soon to the website)



Also in brand new Trashy Diva, Gracie, our 50's doll, is modelling the Trixie Dress in Peacock (online soon) with a raspberry chiffon petticoat. She said she felt like a My Little Pony - an excellent style icon we think!

Back to Daisy now...



This time she is in the brand new Green Velvet Classic 50's swimsuit. Again this isn't yet online (this week hopefully!) but you can see the rest of the collection here.

Photoshoots at Deadly are a lot of hard work but also just so much fun!



This short clip shows Katie in the brand new Stop Staring Grand Dress - available now!

The final look we captured was Gracie dressed as a classic 50's style sailor girl pinup...



Here she is in the (new and not yet online) Sally skirt paired with the Lauren Shirt in White by Pinup Couture.

Photos were by Kevin Mitchell and Hair and Makeup by Lolita Noir. Huge thanks to them both and of course our beautiful models, Daisy, Katie & Gracie.

Lauren at Lolita Noir is also a big Vine fan - she captured a bit of the feel behind the scenes....



We couldn't have a photo shoot without having an outtake! It was a long day with lots to get through. Daisy decided to speed things up with a quick petticoat change - here is what happened...


We hope you have enjoyed your tour behind the scenes of our pinup photo shoot. If you use Vine be sure to look us up - search for Deadly Female and Lolita Noir!
