I’ve spent a good deal of time admiring vintage basket purses from the 40s & 50s in antiques stores, but every time I thought about getting one, I thought; oh I could easily make something like it. And for half the price too…I mean yes, it’s not as special as the real thing, but close…
Big bows, little bows, lots of bows!
Well hello August! No more holding out hope that I might get a chance to post some winter outfits on here, back to summer outfits again! Still, it was nice to take photos with colourful leaves while I had the chance…and now we’re back to pretty flowers. But how can I complain, look at these…
Marlene Monochrome
The first piece that I ever bought from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury was this blouse, about four or five years ago. I admit, I don’t wear a lot of separates, it’s true. That’s because it isn’t as often that I find ones that I like as much as a dress, which is obviously easy to…
The Emblem of Our Land
I didn’t expect to be blogging anything that I had planned for my spring/summer wardrobe right during what is meant to be the coldest month of winter – yet here we are. Winter in Queensland is weird. Some days it feels like summer is back. And then it’s cold again. So if you were expecting…
Green Moonshine
Well, it seems like there’s no shortage of beautiful maple leaves this year. So as you can see I’ve been taking full advantage of that and taking photos with every pretty tree I come across. Sorry not sorry! Among the beautiful dresses that The Seamstress of Bloomsbury recently added to their collection, is the Lucy…
Deco Caplet Dress
When I open my wardrobe at this time of year there’s a few specific colours and prints that dominate. Burgundy being one of them, and the others being black and brown/mustard. With some dark florals and plaid here and there as well. Yes, fairly predictable and not exactly riveting but this seems to be what…
Poppies & Plaid
Autumn is of course the season of plaid and berets just as summer is about tropical prints and straw hats. I originally tried very hard to resist putting together an outfit with such a Christmas colour combination when it’s May (mustard and brown accessories were my first thought for an autumn pallet) but then I…
Hello Dolly!
Nothing has been more cheering than seeing that the leaves have finally started to turn. A bit later than usual, but finally my favourite season is here and I’m feeling revitalised and inspired. So just like that we’ve gone from tropical prints and palms to wool, dark florals and ocher leaves. This outfit here is…
Tropical Athletic Wear
I’ve been wondering if this will be my last summery outfit for a while, since technically it’s autumn now. But I’m not making any promises, since the days are still very warm and sunny – as can be seen from these photos. It has been a while since I’ve worn a playsuit and when Collectif…
Go Bananas
While the calendar may suggest that we are in the first month of autumn here, everyone in Brisbane has declared that we are currently experiencing our second summer. The weather has been absolutely tropical here – hot days that end with a bang in the form of thunder and lightning. As you can see from…
