It’s hard for me to relate when someone tells me that they’re not a beach person. How is it possible not to be a beach person – what’s not to love about the seaside? I admit that one of my favourite things about trips to the beach is deciding what outfit to wear, or rather,…
Pineapple Princess
I’m sure some of you are wondering how it is that I can go from wearing faux fur one week and now to a little rayon dress? Well, that’s just the way autumn in beautiful sunny Queensland is; a few chilly days but lots of hot ones too. This week has felt like summer all…
Claudette Lou and the Black Cockatoo
Black is a colour that often gets overlooked, but I for one cannot steer clear of it. I love the dramatic effect that wearing an all black outfit has, it is such a striking colour to wear. A good black dress gives one a pantherine quality, especially if worn with furs and a veiled hat…
Vamp
Ahh dusk; a favourite time of the day for vampires and bloggers alike. We come out for that perfect lighting that the twilight creates and the luxurious quietness when everyone has suddenly disappeared. So clutch your crucifix and keep the garlic on hand, for this elegant black palazzo jumpsuit by Miss Candyfloss has brought to life my dreams…
Girls Will Be Boys
Of all the classic Hollywood starlets I look to inspiration, the one I find myself googling the most is Katharine Hepburn. If I’m ever unsure of how to style a pair of trousers for a 40s look I know I can always count on her for inspiration. What I love so much about her style…
Easter – 1940s Style
I love Easter and all of the iconography that goes with it – baby animals, flowers, the pastels – not to mention the hot cross buns and chocolate eggs which I am currently devouring as I write this. Of course the red leaves on the ground are a give away that it’s autumn and not…
Vermillion Valley
This would have to be the dress I’ve blogged the most, I’ve had it since I began wearing vintage inspired looks and I don’t think my love for it will ever wane. I only wish there more more 1940s repro pinafore dresses out there – I have no idea why there aren’t! While I was going for a…
Luna Park
I am still very much a child at heart, and amusement parks are among my favourite places to visit. Luna Park is an Australian icon that funnily enough was inspired by the American Coney Island theme park and as you can see the place has very vintage look, complete with old school side show amusements. Unfortunately while…
Don’t Sit Under the Persimmon Tree With Anyone Else But Me
I will never get tired of taking photos in this beautiful place – never! So I hope you will indulge me once again for another post featuring this beautiful Chinese inspired garden, a place I must always take photos in when I go to Sydney. I like to say that Sydney is Australia’s Paris, for…
Evette Dubois
When I think of 1930s lounge wear and lingerie, two silver screen icons come to mind; Jean Harlow and Mae West. Both were queens known for looking sumptuous in silk night gowns and dramatic robes. For this post I couldn’t resist channeling a little bit of them both as wearing the Odette nightgown and perfectly…
