Of all the classic Hollywood starlets I look to inspiration, the one I find myself googling the most is Katharine Hepburn. If I’m ever unsure of how to style a pair of trousers for a 40s look I know I can always count on her for inspiration. What I love so much about her style…
Easter – 1940s Style
I love Easter and all of the iconography that goes with it – baby animals, flowers, the pastels – not to mention the hot cross buns and chocolate eggs which I am currently devouring as I write this. Of course the red leaves on the ground are a give away that it’s autumn and not…
Vermillion Valley
This would have to be the dress I’ve blogged the most, I’ve had it since I began wearing vintage inspired looks and I don’t think my love for it will ever wane. I only wish there more more 1940s repro pinafore dresses out there – I have no idea why there aren’t! While I was going for a…
Luna Park
I am still very much a child at heart, and amusement parks are among my favourite places to visit. Luna Park is an Australian icon that funnily enough was inspired by the American Coney Island theme park and as you can see the place has very vintage look, complete with old school side show amusements. Unfortunately while…
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…
De la Rosa
So as you already know, I really love a good rose print! The last dress from Karina Dresses that I blogged, the Mia, also had roses on it so I guess that tells you everything. The Megan dress in English Rose is part of Karina Dresses newly released spring collection and has just the right…
1940s two piece in dogwood
Right before my birthday, Trashy Diva released a new print – the dogwood collection. I gasped as soon as I saw the fabric and had a hard time deciding on what piece to get. I ended up going for this 1940s two piece set as you know I pretty much live in resort wear and the heart…
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….
The Australian Riviera
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…
1940s Christmas Party Style
The count down is on – there are now only eight sleeps left! As excited as I am for Christmas, I also don’t want the season to be over and for all of the decorations to be put away. One of my favourite parts of the season is the parties and get togethers that take place…
