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
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
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
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
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
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….
The Australian Riviera
In Brisbane it’s been 35C all week, but my family in Moscow tell me that for them it’s been -35 so knowing that I feel a bit guilty complaining about the heat! With that however comes the question; which one is worse to deal with? For extreme cold one can bundle themselves up in layers…
Deco Rose
Only three more years until it’s the twenties again, and I certainly hope that they will be roaring! Of all the decades that I have worn, I feel that the twenties are the best suited for contemporary life. My favourite thing about twenties fashion is how sleek and comfortable the twenties silhouette is to…
1940s Christmas Party Style
The count down is on – there are now only eight sleeps left! As excited as I am for Christmas, I also don’t want the season to be over and for all of the decorations to be put away. One of my favourite parts of the season is the parties and get togethers that take place…
Pinecones & Puff Sleeves
How can it be that soon it will be Christmas, and what has been another great year will already be over? When December arrives I like to spend the month binging on Christmas. I go and see the lighting of the Christmas tree in the city, shop for ornaments, watch the Christmas fireworks, try all…
