Sometimes I will go a really long time without making anything. Even though I am a massive hoarder of craft supplies and always have a full stash at all times, should the inspiration hit. And then when it does hit, I’ll make a bunch of things at once and then nothing for a few years….
Scenic Route
From September to April my bike sadly resides in the shed. Because the summer months are unbearable for any exerting physical activity. But this week I’ve pumped up the tires and given the bike a good polish in anticipation of revisiting old favourite bike trails and discovering new ones. When I’m looking at outfits to…
Lido
Is it a dress? Is it a playsuit? Actually, it’s a blouse and a top. From The House of Foxy’s Lido collection, that I’ve been coveting ever since it was released. I will never stop loving and wanting to wear sailor inspired looks, they are just too good. When I was in Japan I had…
The Year of the Snake
I turned thirty four the other day, and finally got my first ever formal frock. This may come as a surprise, from someone with an already fancier than normal wardrobe. But I have actually never owned any formal wear in the traditional sense, by which I mean a nice floor length gown. The reason for…
Naha
Okinawa isn’t on the main tourist route for Westerners who come to Japan because it takes a bit of extra effort to get there. But if you’re a WWII history enthusiast, it is absolutely worth the visit. My bucket list locations to visit while in Okinawa were the former Japanese Navy Underground Headquarters and Hacksaw…
Momiji
Everyone and their mother went to Japan this year, I know. So if people are a bit sick of seeing touristy photos taken in Japan because at least a handful of their friends or family members went, I understand. You might even be sick of seeing people gushing about what an amazing, beautiful, orderly country…
Hollyhock Reverie
Our summer was off to a head start this year with worryingly warm winter days, so I ended up missing out on a lot of the flowers. The cherry blossoms and many others had already wilted by the time we visited the flower carnival, but I was thankful to get some photos with the magnificent…
Le Chat Noir
One of the most beautiful spots in Brisbane to view the jacaranda trees when they are in bloom just so happens to be a grave yard. I used to think that these were exclusive to Australia, but have since learned that they actually grow in many warm climates across the world. But those who aren’t…
Swan Bank Station
Why do I own so many floral dresses? Because they are really easy to style. And I’m lazy. Instead of trying something new I like to stick to a formula that I know works, only very occasionally venturing out to try something new…You can wear a floral dress all year round so long as you…
Faux 40s Fur
Instead of saying how sad I am that winter is over, I’m going to be uncharacteristically optimistic and say that I’m just so grateful we got a little bit of winter this year. Enough for me to give this fabulous coat a few outings. Which is as good as it gets here in Brisbane. I…
