I don’t like to play favourites with the things I own, because I try my best not to buy anything that I don’t truly love. But every now and then something comes along that I think is very special. I’m sure that by now you have figured out that I’m a serial collector of pretty…
The Woman in Black
When silent era film star Rudolph Valentino died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1926 he left behind a trail of devastated fans in his wake. To this day his grave in Hollywood Forever is adorned with lipstick kisses and fresh roses, left by adoring fans who are still enjoying his films in the second coming of…
Devil or Angel
By the time October rolls around I’m usually too hung over from the year that’s passed to do anything for Halloween. Every year I plan Halloween themed outfits I want to blog and then I never get around to doing it. But for whatever reason, this year I’m feeling different. Maybe it’s the result of…
The Cherry Blossom Girl
This spot really needs no introduction, as I’ve taken photos here every September for the past few years. Except last year, because I didn’t have any outfits that complimented the cherry blossoms. This year however, I had too many options so it was hard to choose! When The Seamstress of Bloomsbury released the new Rose…
Spring 2020
I had a feeling when I put up my last post that it would be my last A/W post for this year. And here we are… The sunhat is back and so are short sleeves. Although, as you can probably tell from the tan I’m sporting – I spent most of winter in the sun….
Prim Deco Plaid
The thirties is probably the decade that’s taken me the longest to figure out. And I don’t mean the hair, I’ve given up on fingerwaves and have accepted that I’m not going to have any luck getting a good set with wave clips. Not the ones that I have anyway… What I’ve struggled with the…
Rain or Shine
Those of you who live near the seaside – I hope you don’t take it for granted! We live a long drive from the nearest beach so it always feels a bit special to make a day trip. And obviously I have to take photos to mark the occasion, since that’s just how seldom we…
July at Home
I’ve decided to make it a habit of doing a little recap of each month! Mainly because I always take a lot of photos and doing this means I have somewhere to allocate the ones that don’t make it into outfit posts/IG…I also kind of enjoy reading lifestyle posts on other blogs because I’m nosy…
Agent Carter Vibes
A bit Agent Carter, a little His Girl Friday. That’s what springs to mind wearing this 1940s co-ord set by Collectif Clothing! Fans of Agent Carter might remember Peggy wearing a very similar outfit, so I couldn’t resist doing a little homage. I felt that a fedora would also be fitting since Peggy Carter wears…
Spider Hollow
I spend a lot of my time cursing that I’ve just walked into a spider web. This is a daily occurrence for me…I might be hanging out laundry, doing yard work, going for a walk…and I’ll walk face first into a spider web. And then I freak out and start patting myself down to make…
