When you get to my age, which will go unmentioned, the wedding invitations start to pour in. Suddenly everyone you know is coupling up and celebrating it. The moment you’re done with one wedding, another invite promptly arrives in the mail. Which I think is great really, because what’s not to love about an occasion…
A Home Among the Gum Trees
One of my favourite things about living in Queensland is the unique style in which we build our houses. But they don’t just look whimsical, they’re also incredibly practical too as they were designed to keep the inside of the house cool by catching the breeze. That’s the reason behind the winding veranda and the…
A Turban for the Tropics
Whenever I think of turbans two of old Hollywood’s leading ladies come to mind; Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich. Both wore turbans as part of their iconic looks and as a result these fabulous hair accessories have always been associated with the height of glamour. Or at least in my eyes. What I love most…
Dorothy in the Garden
I always love to start the new year with a new outfit, and the lovely Dorothy dress by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury felt perfectly fitting for the first post of the year. I don’t think there’s another colour as cheerful as yellow is, and I have high hopes that this will be a happy year….
September Sakura
For some reason every year when cherry blossom season arrives, I never seem to have a pink dress on hand. Not that a pink dress is required to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I just like things to match the way any other blogger would. Never mind though, because I had this lovely JacksDaughter dress to…
Gingham Pinafore
So, having worn my green pinafore to death on the blog…I decided to have it made in several colours. I first fell in love with the style when I bought the PinaFleur from Heyday and it left me wanting even more dresses in this style. Since Heyday had no plans to produce more in different…
1940s Fair Isle Knit
My favourite thing about cold weather? Wearing outfits that are soft, comfortable and cosy. I love wearing wool, flannel and anything that feels like a soft warm blanket against my skin. This outfit ended up being a bit of an accident. We went out of town and when we arrived at our destination it was…
Darling, Darling
White dresses have been a long time favourite of mine. I love wearing them in summer and the endless accessorizing possibilities that a crisp white dress presents. Although technically the dress I’m wearing is a delicate shade of cream, and it is the appropriately named Darling Darling dress from Emmy Design’s latest Spring/Summer release! When…
Keep Calm and Dress like Paddington Bear
Before anyone asks whether I planned this outfit to coincide with the latest royal wedding, it actually just turned out to be a coincidence! The same way in which there just so happened to be this British phone box sitting outside a shop in a very small sleepy town in middle of nowhere rural Queensland….
Autumn 1930s Style
In the last few years it has been amazing to see the growth in vintage reproduction. I remember when I first discovered vintage I could name the brands that made repros on one hand. Now there are more than ever and it’s such a relief for those of us who want an authentic vintage look….
