This outfit, I’m not so sure about. I don’t know if I actually like the colours I paired together? The pop of red seemed like a good idea at the time, but in hindsight I’m worried it looks a bit gauche. Next time I wear this dress I will go for white accessories for a…
Lemon Seersucker
Well that’s it for 2025! Here is a lovely summer morning I captured at the beginning of the month wearing a new seersucker dress and a hat I made to go with the dress. Hopefully I can be as industrious as I have been this year and keep coming up with new DIY accessories for…
1940s Halloween Pinup
Yes, I’m posting Halloween stuff half way through November. And my Halloween decorations are still up. I just like the aesthetic of Halloween so much better than Christmas. The grumpy pumpkins, spooky skeletons and black cats just rank so much higher for me than a jolly old guy in a red suit, snowmen and reindeer….
Cherry Blossom Time
I don’t think I need to elaborate why this is my favourite 1940s suit that I own. Just look at the bow detail on the sleeves and back! I waited until the sakura bloomed to take these photos because I felt this outfit needed a pink, dreamy backdrop and I’m so glad I did. This…
Tea Timer
Starting the first post of spring with a colourful tropical look! Having enjoyed a genuinely cold and long enough winter this year (a first, really) I feel like I got a nice break from my summer wardrobe. I had been starting to plan for the warm months ahead when Vivien of Holloway very kindly let…
Twitcher
Multitasking for me is going out and grabbing some outfit photos, doing a hike and seeing some birds all in one go. That makes for a very productive weekend. As someone who has been dressing like an elderly person for many years now, it’s only fitting that I recently picked up another old person hobby….
Bad Dog
Diago was such a good sport about participating in this series of photos. Despite the fact that he desperately wanted to run off and chase the birds in the bushes that were making honking noises all around us. Luckily I had some tricks up my sleeve, in the form of cheese slices that managed to…
Rust
Cold weather means much fancier outfits, and mulled wine. I had to spend a considerable amount of time trying to edit out the wine flush on my cheeks in this set of photos which were taken around the corner from home, on the way home from the pub. Kudos to my husband for managing to…
en Francais
Another forties Parisian inspired look because this aesthetic has really captured my interest lately. Turbans like this one were a quintessential part of French fashion during this era, usually worn with furs and chunky wedged shoes. This style was seen as a symbol of defiance under the occupation; the extravagant over the top dressing was…
1940s Sun Hat DIY
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….
