Easter – 1940s Style

April 17, 2017 · 9 Comments

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

April 11, 2017 · 6 Comments

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

April 3, 2017 · 8 Comments

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

March 27, 2017 · 7 Comments

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

March 14, 2017 · 7 Comments

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…

De la Rosa

March 8, 2017 · 12 Comments

So as you already know, I really love a good rose print! The last dress from Karina Dresses that I blogged, the Mia, also had roses on it so I guess that tells you everything. The Megan dress in English Rose is part of Karina Dresses newly released spring collection and has just the right…

1940s two piece in dogwood

February 13, 2017 · 8 Comments

Right before my birthday, Trashy Diva released a new print – the dogwood collection. I gasped as soon as I saw the fabric and had a hard time deciding on what piece to get. I ended up going for this 1940s two piece set as you know I pretty much live in resort wear and the heart…

Twenty Six

February 7, 2017 · 8 Comments

As many of you already know, last Friday I celebrated my birthday. So I suppose I should let you know that I am now officially on the wrong side of twenty five, over the hill and all that. I’m kidding of course as I don’t really believe in this! In fact I look back on…

Palazzo Pants on the Promenade

February 2, 2017 · 11 Comments

  I’m sure you are all familiar with this outfit since I wore it to a vintage picnic last year, but I couldn’t resist giving it an encore and its own post. Heyday recently added beach pajama trousers to their range, and as a beach pajama connoisseur I was really excited to own a pair….

Stealing Phryne’s Style

January 29, 2017 · 10 Comments

When I put together this outfit I instantly thought of it being something that Phryne Fisher might wear – and I’m not going to lie, I do look to her for inspiration a lot. But what lover of the twenties wouldn’t? That said, the irony is that I don’t actually watch the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries series….

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 [email protected].
