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,…
Dressing like Emma Stone in Magic in the Moonlight
I don’t want to be that person who goes on holiday and then spends forever spamming everyone with photos of their holiday months later. However, the reality is that going on holiday means a change of scenery and often much nicer backdrops for photos than there are back home. It would be rude not to…
Going Country
In the misty early mornings and sun dappled days the countryside is beautiful and idyllic. Nothing but the sound of birdsong and cicadas, gentle breezes and the smell of clover and orange blossoms blooming in the orchard. But as the sun begins to set and darkness encloses the landscape an eerie quietness sets in. And…
The Cherry Blossom Viewing
All my life, I have wanted to go to Japan and view the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately when I did have the opportunity to see Japan, I was there in the middle of summer, well past blossom time. For the time being there are no trips to Japan on the horizon for me, so I freaked out…
Boardwalk Empire
Earlier this year I wrote about the history of beach pajamas and the way ladies in the 1930s used to love to strut their stuff on the boardwalk to show off their latest beach pajamas. These days you’ll probably get your fair share of confused looks if you wear beach pajamas – I certainly did, but…
A Carnival of Flowers
First of all, Happy Spring to all of my fellow antipodeans! There are spring people, and there are autumn people. I am most certainly a spring person. Although summer and I have a love/hate relationship, the lovely spring that we do get makes up for the punishing summer ahead. A sight that you don’t see…
Clara Bow by Margarita Bloom
Makeup is such an important part of how we create our vintage looks, and yet it isn’t something I have talked about much on the blog. You might have noticed that I wear two lipstick shades exclusively; very dark red, and bold bright red. There are a few reasons I tend to gravitate towards these…
