Oh Carolina

This Is the song our "Oh Carolina" dress is named after! Such a good song! It was written back in 1958  by John Folkes, and performed by his Trio, The Folkes Brothers. It's about his girlfriend who was actually named Noelena. Have a listen down here vvv

Oh Carolina, by The Folkes Brothers

Early reggae doesn't get the attention it deserves. We love early reggae because it's so rock and roll!!! That's why we named a dress after this classic!! Another great song you should check out is The Israelites, by Desmond Dekker. (The 1968 version is the best)

Buddy knox, "Party Doll"

This is a great song. So great that we just HAD to name the "Party Doll" dress after it!! Buddy Knox is the artist. We here in Happy Yellow Dress land are HUGE Buddy Knox fans, in fact, another one of our pieces is named after another Buddy Knox song, but we'll save that for another blog post ;) 

Party Doll, by Buddy Knox. Please have a listen!
