When I decorated our place for Halloween this month, I put up the customary fluffy fake spider web and plastic spiders. At some point one of the spiders came loose, and ended up on the carpet…which led to me having a big freak out. Completely forgetting that it was one of the plastic spiders that…
Sakura at Sunrise
And now, for this year’s lot of gratuitous cherry blossom spam. As long as I’m alive I will never tire of seeing these beautiful trees in bloom. It will always be one of the highlights of each year, and my all time favourite backdrop for outfit photos. In preparation for my annual pilgrimage to view…
Babushka Chic
Even I don’t know why I decided to dress like the babushka’s you see outside Metro stations in Moscow selling flowers from their dacha. Maybe it’s that I miss Russia, it probably is. I’ve noticed cottagecore is hugely popular at the moment, but I think this aesthetic is more communistcore. Let’s make that a trending…
Vegetable Garden: Autumn/Winter 21′
Looking back at last years vegetable garden; I can’t believe I was actually proud of it. I made so many mistakes! And grew such sickly plants…So this time around I was determined to learn from my errors. Probably the biggest mistake I made last year was buying cheap crappy soil from Bunnings. Instead of ordering…
Amber Light
When I sat down to edit these photos…my first thought was; why is my hair red? It seems that the orange leaves on this tree created a natural red hued filter and changed my hair colour. Not that I’m complaining, I just find it amusing! And now I know how it would look if I…
Grey Victory Suit
This month every attempt at taking photos has been disasterous. So when I looked through this set and saw that the majority of them came out over exposed…it was scrap the whole set or whack on a black and white old timey filter. So no, none of this was done to be artistic. If you’re…
Autumn 2021
I bought this hat a few years ago with the intention of repairing it. It had a birdcage veil on the front which was shattered, so one of those pieces the vintage community refers to as a wounded bird. The original owner also owned this hat, and I purchased both at the same time. Without…
Russian Red
I spent the entire month of March complaining about the non stop showers. But much to my relief when all of the rain did finally stop, wild flowers had sprung up along the walking trail near my house. Which is why I found it absoloutely necessary to humiliate myself in front of all the Saturday…
The Pastel Shore
I’ve wanted a playsuit like this for a really long time! There’s so many vintage photos from the 1940s of playsuits like this, they really are a must have wardrobe item. So I was thrilled when The Seamstress of Bloomsbury added the Emma Playsuit to their SS20 collection. I’m hoping that more of this style…
Pastoral Prints
Waking up early in the morning may be painful, but definitely worth it. A hot summer day here often starts with a beautiful misty morning and gentle golden light. I’ve been going for a lot of country walks lately and enjoying meeting all of the animals, both wild and domestic. The curious cows in the…
