I love how you styled all of them! That orange cardigan is magical!

[@bellepoque_official]

Hi Laci, thanks for the appraisal. And are you also interested in the style of our clothes? If yes, please reply to me via email or social media. I have contacted you many times. Looking forward to your reply. My email is [e-mail]

[@WithLoveKristina]

The orange cardigan is my faaaavorite

[@maddyknapp4508]

Clearly I'm a little late getting on the bandwagon here but thanks for this video! I have run across Belle Poque on Amazon but never considered checking out their website. I'm blown away by how much stuff is on their website and already found a dress I can't wait to order. I am plus sized too so finding cute things in sizes that actually fit is amazing. Thank you!!!

[@latricet5569]

I'm sooo glad. I found this channel. I just found the Belle P brand and wasn't sure what the skirt would look like on a plus size girl

[@WithLoveKristina]

Yay! I'm so glad you found me tooo, I love their skirts!

[@carolemiller8936]

Everything is stunning on you

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you Carole!

[@bellepoque_official]

I love the outfit of an orange cardigan and colorful skirt. It is a perfect combination. Thanks for your awesome video!!!!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you for working with me and making such affordable retro things!

[@paulaespiritu5009]

You looked gorgeous in the black dress wow

[@Evilgamesprite]

You look amazing in every thing. As a mama who has had 3 child and lost 6 I have that mommy tummy and it's not going anywhere. I love dressing vintage so many dress and skirt are so forgiving a that tummy.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Vintage really is a great way to hide areas in the midsection!

[@adrianamaclennan7832]

Love your music too!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

You are so good at reviews I love when you do them and I trust your judgement plus these clothes look stunning on you I love how colourful your wardrobe is it suits you so much xx

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you Beverley! I do love colors ;) lol. I tried to be a more subtle vintage lover but I can't stop with the colorrrr

[@danion1588]

first video I saw for belle poque. My first time watching any of your videos and you got me with your first 5 seconds. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@VickyBermudez]

Girl, such cute items!! And that green dress near the end is 👌💖

[@WithLoveKristina]

Right?! It's so pretty.

[@desirae742]

Belle Poque should send you more and a new coupon code 🙃 i loved all of these!

[@dana.c]

Hello! I subscribed to your channel a few days ago and have been viewing your videos as I get ready for the day or do dishes. I love your content and am watching this one for a second time as I love this brand and the way you style your pieces. I own many pieces from the higher end pinup/vintage inspired brands, but I like to have more cost effective pieces for the days I don't want to chance a more expensive piece getting damaged. I wanted to recommend a dress I own in a multitude of patterns from Amazon. These are by no means vintage looking, but toss on a cardi some cute shoes and accessories and it is a very nice inspired look with comfort. Being a mom I find these to come in handy often and I always get compliments on them even though they are pretty basic. I recommend the patterned ones as the solid colors are a different fabric content and I don't find as flattering to curves. The 2 solid ones I have I usually wear a skirt over and find that is the only way I like them. Also your family is adorable and my 5 year-old has got me hooked on Star wars. I am having so much fun sharing the journey with him. Hope you have a lovely day! smile.amazon.com/FENSACE-Womens-Sleeveless-Floral-Summer/dp/B07BPW6M1Y

[@dana.c]

I just got to the part where you mentioned not loving a-lines, so maybe you wouldn't love that dress. Lol

[@WithLoveKristina]

Haha it really depends on the cut of the a-line to be honest, this dress absolutely looks like something I'd get for a casual day!

[@dana.c]

@@WithLoveKristina do you have any issues with your B.A.I.T footwear coming apart? I have glued all 3 of my Kiki sandals and some straps of my heels back in place multiple times. Even the rubber soles will come off and need to be glued. It is so frustrating as I do not wear them on a daily basis (due to the quality issue). Sadly it is hard to come by a cute wedge sandal in that price range. I have not tried the bettie page wedges yet, but will have to find at least a black or red pair to try. Do you have any suggestions? Any would be greatly appreciated. ❤

[@selitaswipes8795]

Hi! You popped up on my feed and I really enjoyed the video! I thought you did a great job styling the black skirt. All of the items were very flattering and good choices. The tips were very helpful, as well.

[@WithLoveKristina]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

[@keenkatiejean]

That black dress is honestly SO GOOD, if I thought there was a chance I'd ever leave the house again it would be a great date night dress!!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Listen We never leave the house but you bet I’m gonna wear it anyway 😂 it’s soooo pretty!

[@quycksylver4822]

I hadn't heard of this brand before--thanks for the tip!

[@WithLoveKristina]

They've been one of the brands I watch for new things on Amazon when I need some inexpensive but good quality everyday things! Thanks for watching!

[@adrianamaclennan7832]

Gorgeous

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you!

[@brookec.6463]

By the way, where did you get the adorable strawberry earrings? Also, the sheer white capelet over the oldest dress you own that was shown at the end is to die for...is that vintage or new? Love it!

[@WithLoveKristina]

The strawberry earrings are vintage! I haven't found any similar ones online yet sadly! The sheer white capelet was from a shop called The Wardrobe Shop but I don't think they have it anymore.

[@wendypudder9745]

I really enjoyed this. I think it all looked great on you. TFS Have a wonderful and safe evening 💗🤶

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you Wendy! It was fun integrating the new items into my wardrobe and I know I'll be wearing them through the fall!

[@Ann65.]

Great video. I love vintage also and have bought quite a few lovely '40's vintage dresses and some from the 50's. The one I wore in a video yesterday is from the 1940's, but was home made - by a very good seamstress it has to be said. You look stunning in all your try-ons.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you!

[@luciabowman-ramirez]

Love all of the dresses 💕 You are so pretty and love your style.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you love!

[@kathygardner8964]

The A-line skirt looks GREAT on you!

[@WithLoveKristina]

I like it more without the belt to be perfectly honest! I think once I find some good winter/fall tops I’ll wear it a lot!

[@josiehuang7505]

I really love the retro brands,Belle Poque,you will get several gorgeous retro look with an inexpensive price

[@WithLoveKristina]

They're such a great brand!

[@lorivandertholen5026]

Where did you get the plaid skirt the first and second outfits. You look great. Great video to.

[@WithLoveKristina]

The plaid skirt in the first outfit is from Emily and Fin from a few years ago but it's pretty easy to find on Poshmark; the second plaid skirt is a vintage one I thrifted.

[@lorivandertholen5026]

@@WithLoveKristina thank you so much. Those two skirts look lovely on you.

[@StephanieCanada]

Interesting. I haven't actually seen this company before. Also, that A-line skirt looks great on you!

[@WithLoveKristina]

I think it looks fine it just needs little tweaks for me to LOVE it. But like... pockets. So obviously I will use it because pockets 😂

[@nancyshirley4657]

I did not like the belt with that skirt. I think a colored belt to match a colored top would look really nice with it. Also, I worked in fashion retail and a trick is you can tack the belt loops to fit a different size belt to keep the belt in a more flattering location on the waist. Very nice video!

[@LM-755]

I love that black dress! I clicked on the link on the description box but it show me a different dress. Do you have another link or know wherever I can purchase from?

[@luckysweetheartvintage476]

I absolutely love, love, love everything you got from them! Xo

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you! Me, too.

[@notchamama7571]

Just the try on haul I have been searching for! Can you wear a petti with the Belle Poque brand swing skirts?

[@AVintageishLife]

I totally love your beret collection!! Serious envy! Great try on - I have just found your channel! xx

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you! I'm on a mission to get a beret in every color ;)

[@shellsmith1737]

All of the outfits look amazing on you/

[@WithLoveKristina]

Thank you!

[@adrianamaclennan7832]

I would also love to know where to find BELTS!

[@WithLoveKristina]

I think most of these came from thrifting but I might have linked one I got from Amazon!

[@LeE-yf3cm]

I love the side comments (helicopters) lol

[@vintagevibesinmoderntimes3783]

all of these are amazing, ive had such hit and miss with amazon vintage brands so I shall give them a go btw, whats the white overlay with the final dress?

[@WithLoveKristina]

I've had a lot of hit and miss with Amazon brands too, which is why I hope to make more of this series! The white overlay/capelet is from a brand called Wardrobe Shop but I got it 4 years ago so I'm not sure if they still carry that specific one!

[@marshak6459]

What size do you wear? The clothes run really small for a 2 x

[@WithLoveKristina]

I wear between a L-XL depending on what it is.

[@DK-zu6tt]

My measurements are: 45"-35"-42, and I typically wear a 2x in Asian made, Amazon clothing. However when I am shopping at US big box stores, like Macy's, Kolh's, and the like, I usually wear a L-XL, and if it's petites, which incidentally fit me better in the top because I have relatively small upper bust (just above my boobs) and a 6" full bust adjustment to make a top fit me well in the area between my upper boobs, shoulders and armpits (no poofing), I wear an XL-XXL in petites, especially nicer made coats and dresses, petites are my go to even though I am a sturdy built woman. But honestly, I bought 3 sweaters that were all akin to vintage 1950's style at Target just recently, and I bought smalls in all 3. I could get away with this because the sweaters were 60% cotton (able to reshape them to suit my body after washing and while laying out to dry), and they had raglan shoulders with a mock-turtleneck collar, so the fit was more snug like a "sweater girl" sweater and the waist band sat very comfortably on my natural waist, giving me a slimmer look and working well with my circle skirts. And only $20. Colors kinda "off," but black is a classic, and the wine/burgundy color actually works for me. www.target.com/p/women-s-crewneck-light-weight-pullover-sweater-a-new-day/-/A-83599935?preselect=82257264#lnk=sametab www.target.com/p/women-s-crewneck-pullover-sweater-universal-thread/-/A-82591766?preselect=82255970#lnk=sametab Do not pay attention to sizes in terms of any guilt or other social BS (I know this easier said than done...). Read the size chart and look at the fabric content, and whether there is any elastic (like in the back of the waistband), and above all else, read reviews. After reading the size chart and looking at the other features of the garment, guess which size might work for you, then sort the reviews by that size (type say, "XL" in the "Search reviews" box. Often, someone will tell you their measurements or at least their bra size, height and weight, so you can get a better feel of what will fit. I'd say by doing this myself at least 75-80% of what I buy on Amazon, and I buy a lot, fits me as expected when it shows up. However, sometimes, there just aren't enough reviews, and I do my homework and hope for the best. Like, I recently bought a Belle Poque shirt I thought would work and it was a train wreck. It was a blouse that had a finished band at the waistline which was supposed to sit at the waist. Belle Poque made it wide enough for my boobs (but way too wide in the shoulders), and did not increase the bodice length as the sizes went up, so it was a full on belly shit barely covering the bottom of my boobs. Since there were no reviews to help me, I definitely left one with my measurements and described how crappy if fit me, to help others decide if it will work to them. Always pay it forward and leave a detailed review with your measurements to help a sista out down the road. :) And don't me started about Walmart's sizes, I am a small in everything, and there's no way my measurements are a small anywhere except Walmart and men's clothing. LOL!! Good luck, shopping for clothes as a woman in the US is a minefield, and I have always wished, designers would standardize sizes a bit better. I hope something in my comment will be of use to you.

[@amber7253]

Everyrhing looks fantastic as alwayz .. Did you try the plad shirt your wearing with your black skirt ?

[@WithLoveKristina]

The plaid thing I'm wearing is actually a dress! But it would be cute as a top!

[@amber7253]

@@WithLoveKristina oh yes .. Didnt relise it was a dress.. But oh yes i agree!

[@chloeo230]

I loved your video! So much so that I went on to buy that last dress - and unfortunately, it seems that the coupon code you listed in your description “isn’t valid” ? Not sure what’s up!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oh no! I will email them and see why it’s not working.

Hi Chloe, here is the code that works for the last dress. "EyreEffect" is the correct discount code. I am so sorry about the inconvenience. www.amazon.com/dp/B0752MRRWR

You look beautiful

[@DK-zu6tt]

Belle Poque is OK for fast fashion. It's too bad they don't have a separate higher end line, with quality fabrics, built in full linings made from fabric that will slip with tights and the like. I would gladly pay 2-3X what they charge if their items were classic designs made of high quality (linen, silk, and cotton mixes of both aforementioned, wool and wool blends---i.e. no crappy polyester). Plus, sometimes they may have the right width for say a 45" bust, HOWEVER they don't increase the length of a bodice, so that the waist does not sit right and the waistline rides up on your boobs if you are large chested. So a few structure issues, and higher quality/construction--and they would be on to something. Even higher end Retro places, Unique Vintage and Top Vintage and Collectif, etc. want a lot of money, and while the styles are more varied, the quality is not higher (nothing is lined in a $100 dress). That's why I have started sewing my own clothes. Not only will that guarantee fit, but I can control the quality, fully line dresses and skirts with high quality materials and construct things that will stand the test of time. I just wish I could speed up my learning curve, lol.
