Not sure what’s going on this season but for the first time ever all of the high street stores seem to be delivering the goods. I’ve always been very open about my dislike for modern fashion (sorry not sorry) so I did not see this coming. Suddenly pieces that have a vintage appropriate look are…
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…
Whimsical Wisteria
I was thinking recently about how many things I own in burgundy, and the answer is; quite a lot. It’s just such a striking shade! When Collectif released the Giannina Swing Dress for their A/W19 collection I of course couldn’t resist picking the burgundy. Although it also comes in a lovely shade of green –…
The Land of Tulips & Windmills
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…
Channeling Loretta Young
Every now and then I will come across a high street piece that really speaks to me. I don’t like making impulsive purchases (something that I used to be really terrible with once upon a time…) so these days if I buy something it needs to be something I’ve wanted for a long time. As…
1930s nautical
Yes, I’m clearly having a moment with head scarves right now. Some of it is to do with how easy they are to accessorise, and because I’ve been having a lot of bad hair days lately. In the case of these photos I thought it would be a great idea to try a different style…
Harlequin
It’s been two years since I last wore a pair of beach pajamas on the blog. Crazy! I have never lived close to the beach, and now that we live further inland I’ve had even less reasons to go. Not that it has stopped me from buying beach pajamas! This month the opportunity finally presented…
Gingham & Strawberries
I’ve spent a good deal of time admiring vintage basket purses from the 40s & 50s in antiques stores, but every time I thought about getting one, I thought; oh I could easily make something like it. And for half the price too…I mean yes, it’s not as special as the real thing, but close…
Big bows, little bows, lots of bows!
Well hello August! No more holding out hope that I might get a chance to post some winter outfits on here, back to summer outfits again! Still, it was nice to take photos with colourful leaves while I had the chance…and now we’re back to pretty flowers. But how can I complain, look at these…
Marlene Monochrome
The first piece that I ever bought from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury was this blouse, about four or five years ago. I admit, I don’t wear a lot of separates, it’s true. That’s because it isn’t as often that I find ones that I like as much as a dress, which is obviously easy to…
