As many of you are already aware, this spotty fiend has come to dominate my instagram feed lately. And well, my life too really. And, I wouldn’t want it any other way. You might have noticed that I’ve been fairly absent on the blog this year, though not through a lack of desire to post….
Darling, Darling
White dresses have been a long time favourite of mine. I love wearing them in summer and the endless accessorizing possibilities that a crisp white dress presents. Although technically the dress I’m wearing is a delicate shade of cream, and it is the appropriately named Darling Darling dress from Emmy Design’s latest Spring/Summer release! When…
Keep Calm and Dress like Paddington Bear
Before anyone asks whether I planned this outfit to coincide with the latest royal wedding, it actually just turned out to be a coincidence! The same way in which there just so happened to be this British phone box sitting outside a shop in a very small sleepy town in middle of nowhere rural Queensland….
Autumn 1930s Style
In the last few years it has been amazing to see the growth in vintage reproduction. I remember when I first discovered vintage I could name the brands that made repros on one hand. Now there are more than ever and it’s such a relief for those of us who want an authentic vintage look….
Liebe Marlene
Of all the 1930s blondes that I look to for outfit inspiration, Marlene Dietrich will always be my favourite. This outfit was inspired by her; as the Seamstress of Bloomsbury Gloria jumpsuit looks just like something Marlene might have worn. Marlene Dietrich was well known for her unique personal style which incorporated menswear to create…
Chickens & Charlie Stone Shoes
What is with the chicken obsession, you’re probably wondering. Well, I honestly don’t even know myself but I have always really loved chickens and wanted some of my own. Anytime I see them they instantly put a smile on my face, there’s just something about watching them potter around scratching at the ground that makes…
Clambering Blooms
If you’re wondering how many dresses I have in this cut – the answer is three. Just three – but I know that’s probably excessive as it is! The reason I have so many is that they were bought for work wear and then it just so happened that they were perfect for just about…
Surviving Summer
You know when you’re taking blog photos and you’re thinking to yourself oh I sure hope the poisonous snakes aren’t feeling particularly feisty today… Or is that just a me problem? I’m probably the only one mad (or foolish) enough to decide to defiantly take photos in the area where there have been a lot of snake…
Feeling Crabby
I really don’t want this post to be another one where I complain about the heat…but we’ve had a pretty awful summer this year. I also don’t want to be that blogger who apologises to everyone for their absence (because really, no one cares) but the last two months have been so hot that I…
Sunflower Siren
When it comes to 1940s fashion, Winston Churchill is probably the last person to come to mind. However, it is the great man himself who is credited with the invention of the iconic 40s Siren Suits, or ‘Romper Suit’ as he called them. The story goes that Winston was watching bricklayers working on his garden…
