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…
On Your Bike!
Last month I got a new bike in anticipation of the Tweed Ride that took place in Marburg. And ever since the only thing that’s stopped me from riding my bike daily is bad weather. I’m actually thinking that maybe I should cancel my gym membership, god knows I barely go, on account of how…
V for Victory
Well June has been a busy month. Busy with lots of fun things that is! But something that wasn’t so fun was when my camera had to be laid to rest. We were taking photos and suddenly a big black mark appeared on the photos and that was it. That said, after 12 years of…
Brown 1940s Suit
One of my smartest purchases to date has been this suit that I bought a few years ago. The amount of outfits I’ve put together using the skirt and blazer as separates has really carried my wardrobe throughout the cooler months. Previously I have posted the blazer and skirt separately so it’s probably about time…
Pistachio
Satin slacks, metallic heels, celestial accessories and a long sleeve blouse is an outfit combination I’m crazy about at the moment. These slacks are meant to be worn as part of a sleepwear set, but there’s no way that’s stopping me from wearing them as outer wear! Even though this is a fairly simple outfit,…
Plastiflex
For someone who’s only crafty/artistic abilities are strictly limited to using a glue gun and the occasional embroidery, I sure have some very industrious friends. Recently a friend of mine decided to have a red hot go at recreating the iconic 1940s plastiflex bags that were extremely fashionable throughout the 40s for their elegant and…
