Of all the 1930s blondes that I look to for outfit inspiration, Marlene Dietrich will always be my favourite. This outfit was inspired by her; as the Seamstress of Bloomsbury Gloria jumpsuit looks just like something Marlene might have worn. Marlene Dietrich was well known for her unique personal style which incorporated menswear to create…
Chickens & Charlie Stone Shoes
What is with the chicken obsession, you’re probably wondering. Well, I honestly don’t even know myself but I have always really loved chickens and wanted some of my own. Anytime I see them they instantly put a smile on my face, there’s just something about watching them potter around scratching at the ground that makes…
Marilou
It’s the start of December and everyone has started posting their Christmas looks. And here I am, dressed head to toe in black…Well you see, with this month being the start of party season I thought it would be best to ease myself in rather than to overdose on Christmas the way I normally would!…
Beach Pajamas Ahoy!
This past weekend we set off on a road trip with the intention of visiting a show, seeing relatives and stopping at all the antiques shops along the way. But what I was the most excited about was being able to stop at the lighthouse that is on the way for some blog photos. Is…
Crimson Dreams
I’m sure that most people will be able to relate that packing for a trip away from home is hard; especially if you plan on blogging while you’re away. But then make that a three month trip, that requires outfits for multiple seasons! In a way, what I’ve done is kind of gone and moved…
Emerald Deco Dots

A Midsummer Morning
Heaven is a place on earth – I believe, and for me, it is this magnificent purple sea. On this midsummer morning I was really taken aback by the beauty here in Russia. I am so happy to be back! I am here for a good long while this time, and so when I was…
Deco Beach
It’s hard for me to relate when someone tells me that they’re not a beach person. How is it possible not to be a beach person – what’s not to love about the seaside? I admit that one of my favourite things about trips to the beach is deciding what outfit to wear, or rather,…
Evette Dubois
When I think of 1930s lounge wear and lingerie, two silver screen icons come to mind; Jean Harlow and Mae West. Both were queens known for looking sumptuous in silk night gowns and dramatic robes. For this post I couldn’t resist channeling a little bit of them both as wearing the Odette nightgown and perfectly…
Palazzo Pants on the Promenade
I’m sure you are all familiar with this outfit since I wore it to a vintage picnic last year, but I couldn’t resist giving it an encore and its own post. Heyday recently added beach pajama trousers to their range, and as a beach pajama connoisseur I was really excited to own a pair….
