Delightful Decapoda

February 17, 2022 · 3 Comments

This has been a dream outfit of mine for a long time. I’ve had countless photos saved of Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth wearing white playsuits just like this while playing tennis, riding a bike…And this picture of Bette Davis painting her nails, red, I presume, while wearing an identical outfit. Total power move there,…

Thirties Seersucker

January 18, 2021 · Leave a Comment

While I should be starting the first post of 2021 with photos taken this month, I’ve still got a few photo sets taken in late 2020 to get through. Just as well, with the unpredictable start this year has started off with. Life in between lockdowns has been all about savoring any opportunity to get…

Merry Alpacas

December 15, 2020 · Leave a Comment

After calling these animals llamas this entire time, I’ve now been told that they are actually alpacas…Or aren’t they? Honestly I struggle to tell the difference, to me both of these look like the same animal…especially if their woolly coats have been cut, the way these ones were. But I’ve come to the conclusion that…

Prim Deco Plaid

August 23, 2020 · 2 Comments

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…

Celestial 1930s dress

May 6, 2020 · 2 Comments

The first time I saw a picture of a hooded dress being worn it was in this picture of Little Edie Beale. But don’t worry, I can assure you that hooded 1930s dresses are not in fact a gateway to living in a house full of cats and rubbish! And I mean lets face it;…

Tropical Getaway

January 6, 2020 · 2 Comments

No, I didn’t leave the country and travel to a Balinese holiday resort. But I don’t blame you for wondering whether that was the case! If I was to do something like that though, this is exactly the sort of outfit I would pack. Instead this is just a beautiful tropical garden that looks like…

Deco Heels by Lulu Hun

November 14, 2019 · 2 Comments

It’s no secret that I love anything with Australian plants and flowers on it. When I saw this 1930s dress with a matching hat – that had gumnuts pinned to the brim and came with a gumnut brooch, well, it was meant to be. It’s also really clever, or perfect even, that the colour scheme…

A Floral Oasis

November 3, 2019 · 1 Comment

Orange isn’t a colour I ever thought I’d like. But here I am, wearing it for what is probably the first time and I actually rather like it. I love a good cheerful print and the day we took these photos was a very happy spring day. The flowers were looking magnificent, bees were crawling…

Jellyfish Jetty

I’m constantly on the lookout for the perfect 1930s jumpsuit. Thirties lounge wear/beach wear is after all a long time favourite of mine. So when I saw the Collectif Clothing Charline jumpsuit – I knew right away it would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe and a piece that would get a lot of…

The Land of Tulips & Windmills

September 21, 2019 · 4 Comments

September is the month of flowers. So many flowers that it’s hard to even capture all of it. And a short time frame, since they only bloom for a few weeks. There’s tulips, hollyhocks, poppies, wisteria, and soon the cherry blossom will start to flower. Like every year, we traveled out of town to visit…
