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…
Springtime for Babushka
Sometimes, I like to wear black head to toe. And then there’s times when I like to sport an explosion of colours. Loud outfits like this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but this one is a favourite mine for sentimental reasons. I love it because the vibrant colours and print of this dress…
1940s Adventuress
When your home decor matches the set of Jumanji, you may as well embrace the whole look! I thought it was about time I blogged a vintage explorer inspired look after wanting to do so for so long. The main reason I’d put it off is because it’s taken me this long to find a…
Vintage Wedding Guest
When you get to my age, which will go unmentioned, the wedding invitations start to pour in. Suddenly everyone you know is coupling up and celebrating it. The moment you’re done with one wedding, another invite promptly arrives in the mail. Which I think is great really, because what’s not to love about an occasion…
A Home Among the Gum Trees
One of my favourite things about living in Queensland is the unique style in which we build our houses. But they don’t just look whimsical, they’re also incredibly practical too as they were designed to keep the inside of the house cool by catching the breeze. That’s the reason behind the winding veranda and the…
A Turban for the Tropics
Whenever I think of turbans two of old Hollywood’s leading ladies come to mind; Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich. Both wore turbans as part of their iconic looks and as a result these fabulous hair accessories have always been associated with the height of glamour. Or at least in my eyes. What I love most…
Dorothy in the Garden
I always love to start the new year with a new outfit, and the lovely Dorothy dress by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury felt perfectly fitting for the first post of the year. I don’t think there’s another colour as cheerful as yellow is, and I have high hopes that this will be a happy year….
Queenslander Style
I’ve been wanting to put up a post about how I’ve decorated our house for a while now, but instead I’ve only got around to posting snippets here and there on instagram and my instastories. So I’m sure that most of you by now have a good idea of how I’ve decorated our home. One…
September Sakura
For some reason every year when cherry blossom season arrives, I never seem to have a pink dress on hand. Not that a pink dress is required to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I just like things to match the way any other blogger would. Never mind though, because I had this lovely JacksDaughter dress to…
Gingham Pinafore
So, having worn my green pinafore to death on the blog…I decided to have it made in several colours. I first fell in love with the style when I bought the PinaFleur from Heyday and it left me wanting even more dresses in this style. Since Heyday had no plans to produce more in different…
