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…

(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…

Happy November! This month I am starting with a round up of some of the great bloggers who post looks inspired by the art deco era. I have always looked to bloggers for style inspiration and since making my transition to wearing the fashions of the art deco era there has been a lot to learn….
Glitter & the Moon
I love looking at photos of the screen sirens of the 30s & 40s lounging around in fabulous silk robes. A lot of thought went into making lounge wear that looked glamorous and made the wearer feel like a queen. Glitter and the Moon are a UK company who have brought back the decadence and glamour…
Minnie Beach
The beach at Minnie Waters has everything. Whales, dolphins, rock pools – and all manner of fascinating debris washed up by the ocean. I spent a great deal of time looking at sea sponges, shells and coral. Unlike most of the beaches I have taken photos at, this is a wild beach that hasn’t been shaped by…
Requiem for a Dress
I was so ecstatic when I bought this dress. It looked just like an original vintage dress I had been eyeing off on Etsy. The embroidery was beautiful, the fabric was soft and so comfortable to wear. I loved everything about it. I imagined all of the happy memories this dress and I would have,…
