All That Glitters

July 7, 2017 · 9 Comments

Jay Gatsby eat your heart out, I’m sorry to say but your mansion in West Egg has nothing on the summer estate of the Sheremetev family! This week I had the pleasure of spending a few hours in this dazzlingly beautiful historical home to shoot the Beatrice dress by Gatsbylady London. Like Gatsby’s home, this…

Vamp

May 1, 2017 · 6 Comments

Ahh dusk; a favourite time of the day for vampires and bloggers alike. We come out for that perfect lighting that the twilight creates and the luxurious quietness when everyone has suddenly disappeared. So clutch your crucifix and keep the garlic on hand, for this elegant black palazzo jumpsuit by Miss Candyfloss has brought to life my dreams…

Don’t Sit Under the Persimmon Tree With Anyone Else But Me

March 27, 2017 · 7 Comments

I will never get tired of taking photos in this beautiful place – never! So I hope you will indulge me once again for another post featuring this beautiful Chinese inspired garden, a place I must always take photos in when I go to Sydney. I like to say that Sydney is Australia’s Paris, for…

Twenty Six

February 7, 2017 · 8 Comments

As many of you already know, last Friday I celebrated my birthday. So I suppose I should let you know that I am now officially on the wrong side of twenty five, over the hill and all that. I’m kidding of course as I don’t really believe in this! In fact I look back on…

Stealing Phryne’s Style

January 29, 2017 · 10 Comments

When I put together this outfit I instantly thought of it being something that Phryne Fisher might wear – and I’m not going to lie, I do look to her for inspiration a lot. But what lover of the twenties wouldn’t? That said, the irony is that I don’t actually watch the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries series….

Deco Rose

January 9, 2017 · 12 Comments

Only three more years until it’s the twenties again, and I certainly hope that they will be roaring!   Of all the decades that I have worn, I feel that the twenties are the best suited for contemporary life. My favourite thing about twenties fashion is how sleek and comfortable the twenties silhouette is to…

Forever Gatsby by House of Satin

November 26, 2016 · 16 Comments

The 1920s were a very exciting decade in the history of lingerie. Tight lacing was discarded in favour of an androgynous silhouette and the conservative, modest, cotton undergarments of the Victorian era were replaced with racy chemises and step-ins made of colourful pastel silks and heavily trimmed with lace and ribbons. In the spirit of  excess that the…

White Oleander

November 8, 2016 · 8 Comments

I’ve never stopped to think about my favourite colour before. I have many favourites, but this beautiful minty shade that is known as Eau de Nil is a new love of mine. I love the way that pastels contrast with a dark lip, but you probably already know that as this is a combination I wear…

Requiem for a Dress

October 11, 2016 · 14 Comments

I was so ecstatic when I bought this dress. It looked just like an original vintage dress I had been eyeing off on Etsy. The embroidery was beautiful, the fabric was soft and so comfortable to wear. I loved everything about it. I imagined all of the happy memories this dress and I would have,…
