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…
Forever Gatsby by House of Satin
The 1920s were a very exciting decade in the history of lingerie. Tight lacing was discarded in favour of an androgynous silhouette and the conservative, modest, cotton undergarments of the Victorian era were replaced with racy chemises and step-ins made of colourful pastel silks and heavily trimmed with lace and ribbons. In the spirit of excess that the…
Vintage Weekends – Paddington Antiques Crawl
starring: (left to right) @honeyhollowayyxx @cats_cakes_and_petticoats @nancy_wake Odd as this may sound, I am actually not very familiar with vintage hot spots in Brisbane. Normally I will drive out of town to search for vintage because the prices are more reasonable and it’s less likely for the place to have been picked clean. So a few…

Oh Brisbane summers! I do my best not to talk too much about how hot it is on the blog – but it’s something that has a significant effect on my wardrobe. Mainly, that I only own summer clothes! But how I love all of our bright tropical plants and the waterlily’s that are in…
Vintage Weekends – A Vintage Picnic
(from left to right) Nancy Wake, Rob, BobbedBernice, Kim, Jacs & Dave This year I have had the pleasure of travelling to Sydney and meeting a great bunch of ladies who are part of the Sydney scene for high tea. Now I thought it would be fun to get to know the Brisbane vintage community a…
White Oleander
I’ve never stopped to think about my favourite colour before. I have many favourites, but this beautiful minty shade that is known as Eau de Nil is a new love of mine. I love the way that pastels contrast with a dark lip, but you probably already know that as this is a combination I wear…
30s Siren Stripes
A few years ago when Sirens Swimwear opened their first pop up shop down the road from my house I treated myself to some of their beautiful vintage inspired swimsuits. The swimsuits were gorgeous and I joked with the sales assistant that I was afraid of wearing them because they were too lovely – I…
