In Brisbane it’s been 35C all week, but my family in Moscow tell me that for them it’s been -35 so knowing that I feel a bit guilty complaining about the heat! With that however comes the question; which one is worse to deal with? For extreme cold one can bundle themselves up in layers…
Mia Rose
Oh Brisbane summers! I do my best not to talk too much about how hot it is on the blog – but it’s something that has a significant effect on my wardrobe. Mainly, that I only own summer clothes! But how I love all of our bright tropical plants and the waterlily’s that are in…
30s Siren Stripes
A few years ago when Sirens Swimwear opened their first pop up shop down the road from my house I treated myself to some of their beautiful vintage inspired swimsuits. The swimsuits were gorgeous and I joked with the sales assistant that I was afraid of wearing them because they were too lovely – I…
Art Deco Inspiration: Blogger Style
Happy November! This month I am starting with a round up of some of the great bloggers who post looks inspired by the art deco era. I have always looked to bloggers for style inspiration and since making my transition to wearing the fashions of the art deco era there has been a lot to learn….
Glitter & the Moon
I love looking at photos of the screen sirens of the 30s & 40s lounging around in fabulous silk robes. A lot of thought went into making lounge wear that looked glamorous and made the wearer feel like a queen. Glitter and the Moon are a UK company who have brought back the decadence and glamour…
Minnie Beach
The beach at Minnie Waters has everything. Whales, dolphins, rock pools – and all manner of fascinating debris washed up by the ocean. I spent a great deal of time looking at sea sponges, shells and coral. Unlike most of the beaches I have taken photos at, this is a wild beach that hasn’t been shaped by…
Dressing like Emma Stone in Magic in the Moonlight
I don’t want to be that person who goes on holiday and then spends forever spamming everyone with photos of their holiday months later. However, the reality is that going on holiday means a change of scenery and often much nicer backdrops for photos than there are back home. It would be rude not to…
Going Country
In the misty early mornings and sun dappled days the countryside is beautiful and idyllic. Nothing but the sound of birdsong and cicadas, gentle breezes and the smell of clover and orange blossoms blooming in the orchard. But as the sun begins to set and darkness encloses the landscape an eerie quietness sets in. And…
The Cherry Blossom Viewing
All my life, I have wanted to go to Japan and view the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately when I did have the opportunity to see Japan, I was there in the middle of summer, well past blossom time. For the time being there are no trips to Japan on the horizon for me, so I freaked out…
Boardwalk Empire
Earlier this year I wrote about the history of beach pajamas and the way ladies in the 1930s used to love to strut their stuff on the boardwalk to show off their latest beach pajamas. These days you’ll probably get your fair share of confused looks if you wear beach pajamas – I certainly did, but…
