And that is exactly how high I would jump if somebody said to me – would you like some beach pajamas? However as we all know, those are very rare these days and so I am forever on a mission to find something similar to the beach pajamas worn in the twenties and thirties,…
Shhh-shoo baby, shoo, shoo!
Emmy Design are a brand known for their high quality vintage reproduction designs that feature a beautiful range of clothes from the thirties to the sixties. I was recently asked to review a piece from their SS16 collection! The Lemon Shoo Shoo dress and bolero set was inspired by a 1940s dress from the designers…
Hell Bunny Lily Dress
This dress will look familiar to a lot of you as it is one I have already blogged before, however since I last blogged it I ended up having some alterations done to the hem to make it look more vintage. Originally this dress had a mullet hem so when I saw the alteration Lauren…
à la russe
The early 1920s saw Western fashion start to experiment with Eastern elements. With a large Russian population now living in Paris following the Bolshevik Revolution, major couturiers such as Chanel sought inspiration from the costumers of the Russian ballet and elements of traditional Russian dress suddenly became a part of mainstream fashion.

Peacock Flapper Coat
I bought this fabulous robe, or flapper coat – whichever you’d like to call it – in the middle of summer and so it has been a painful wait to finally be able to wear it. Apparently it’s autumn now, and indeed it has cooled down very slightly so that I can finally take this…

The reception was in part…
Our Vintage Wedding: Ceremony
Photography by Cassandra Sutton I have always wanted a very traditional and sober wedding. To me a wedding is a serious and solemn occasion and it was important to us that our ceremony was incredibly formal and dignified. The whole ceremony was a surreal experience and looking back on it now everything went so fast that…
Queen of the Damned
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…
