Boardwalk Empire was my gateway drug to the 1920s but it was Underbelly Razor; an Australian television series, that really made me fall in love with the styles of the twenties. Although both of these shows are set in the same period, there is a stark contrast in the fashion the characters wear despite the…
The Bride Wore Vintage
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Like many of you in the vintage community, our family and friends are not actually into vintage. While I do have my vintage friends that I have met through blogging, none of our friends and family involved in the wedding are into vintage and so it was important to me that…
Our DIY Vintage Wedding – Part I
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Our wedding day began with a very early start. Just as the sun had started to rise over the river, cups of tea were being made and flowers were being assembled. We embarked on a DIY wedding for no other reason that we did not want to get fleeced by…
The Fountain at Twilight
When I first saw this dress it brought to mind the outfit worn by Kiera Knightley in Atonement in the famous scene with Cecilia and Robbie by the fountain. Although Cecilia’s outfit is actually a two piece blouse and skirt set, the colour scheme and the floral print on this chiffon dress is slightly of…
The Perfect 1920s Beach Dress
At the risk of disappointing a number of you, it is my sad duty to inform you that this wonderful reproduction of a 1920s sailor dress was discontinued back in 2010 when Collectif had some marvelous 1920s pieces. As such, this particular dress is hard to come by at this point in time, so last…
Modcloth Cause for Delectation Jumpsuit
January is by far the hottest month, and today being no exception to this rule, it might seem a bit odd that I am wearing a full piece like a jumpsuit rather than a dress! However, the light airy fabric and relaxed fit of this one piece makes it completely comfortable on days like today….
The ‘Harlow’ Dress
I do not let my short stature keep me from wearing maxi dresses! Maxi dresses are especially fantastic because one doesn’t have to think too hard about what shoes to pair them with, meaning I can forego wearing heels and could most likely get away with a comfortable pair of sneakers underneath and people would…
1930s Tea Room
Today was a good mail day – new shoes, and Lime Crime’s Velvetine in Wicked arrived, which called for an impromptu outing so that I could finally have the chance to wear it. I don’t believe in wasting fancy makeup on just sitting at home, so it was absolutely necessary to plan an outing for…
Another Day, Another Costume Party
As I make my wardrobe transition to the 1920s, it is only right that I have become obsessed with hats – because nothing completes a twenties outfit like a great hat. This Edith hat from Modcloth is a special piece due to its incredibly authentic vintage feel and dainty, delicate details. I had been eyeing…
Peaches & Cream
Slowly, but surely, 1920s day wear is making it’s way into my wardrobe and I dream that one day I will have as many 1920s pieces as I currently have 40s and 50s, but for that to happen I must count on more vintage reproduction designers to create twenties inspired pieces. If that was to…
