(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…
Art Deco Inspiration: Blogger Style
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…
