I don’t know how it was decided that March is the first month of autumn in the Antipodes and spring in the rest of the world…Every year seems to be the same; March starts with a healthy heaping of snow in Europe and in Australia it’s summers final hurrah. I’ve just picked several kilos of…

All The Green Things

February 21, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Hopefully I’m not jinxing myself by saying this…but we’ve had a pretty decent summer by Brisbane standards this year. My banana tree has produced several kilos of very nice looking bananas, and my hibiscus plants have bloomed beautifully. After last year I’m not taking any of this for granted. And it looks like it has…

Tropicana

Back in my baby vintage days (a phrase I’ve noticed folks in the vintage scene use to describe their youthful vintage fashion faux pas) I remember going to Sydney and seeing the Retrospec’d shop in Darlinghurst. They had a stunning shop window and seeing all of those beautiful clothes was inspiring. At the time I…

Wisteria

November 30, 2022 · Leave a Comment

I took these photos at the end of September, and at the beginning of October I went to a concert. After which I got extremely ill, and pretty much have been up and down ever since. But I don’t want to sound like that elderly family member we all have that spends the first half…

Spring 22′

October 21, 2022 · 1 Comment

Winter wasn’t worthy of its own post because the only thing that grew well in this garden were the citrus trees. Which produced more oranges than we could eat or give away. And snow peas. So many snow peas. Every other crop I planted during the colder months got absolutely destroyed by the rats. It…

Glinda the Good

Sometimes I really like the concept of an outfit, even if its not an outfit that feels very me. And this look is a good example of that. The pink, the tiara and novelty purse make me look like I’m a plastic magic wand short of throwing one of those kids princess themed parties. Or…

Witchy Folk

Nope, I haven’t decided to quit blogging. I’m still determined to be the last blogger standing! This has probably been the longest break I’ve taken from posting on here, but not through lack of wanting to. I still love blogging, and I still love dressing up. But whether I get outfit photos or not depends…

Folklore

Last Christmas my dearest friend got me this beautiful Ukrainian blouse, purchased from a small Ukrainian business on Etsy. She had bought herself a similar blouse in a different pattern and colour, and seeing how much I admired the one she had, was kind enough to get me one too. So we would have matching…

Late Summer Harvest 22′

March 31, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Well. The third month of the year has not been a good one. Those in the parts of Queensland and New South Wales that had major flooding know exactly what I’m talking about… While those on the other side of the world are beginning to prep their spring garden, we antipodeans are putting down our…

Delightful Decapoda

February 17, 2022 · 3 Comments

This has been a dream outfit of mine for a long time. I’ve had countless photos saved of Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth wearing white playsuits just like this while playing tennis, riding a bike…And this picture of Bette Davis painting her nails, red, I presume, while wearing an identical outfit. Total power move there,…

A vintage lover from Brisbane. I am passionately nostalgic for decades before my time. I enjoy recreating looks inspired by the past wearing both vintage and vintage reproduction clothing. My blog focuses on the styles of the art deco period and features both authentic vintage pieces from the 1920s, 30s & 40s, as well as modern reproductions of clothing from these eras. My blog explores creating modern every day looks with vintage elements. If you would like to say hello get in touch with me through harlow@harlowdarling.com.
