The Cranes are Flying

July 29, 2016 · 12 Comments

Throughout Asia, the crane is a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean tradition, the crane represents good fortune and longevity due to its fabled life span of a thousand years.  When I think of the graceful creatures that cranes are, the words ethereal and elegant come to mind. I believe this stunning…

The Clarice Dress by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury

July 25, 2016 · 14 Comments

My love of red dresses all started with Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. I have talked before about how film has had a subconscious influence on pushing me in the direction of vintage and I would have to say Inglorious Basterds had the most significant influence of all. I was around eighteen when the film came…

Stealing Lana Turner’s Style

July 8, 2016 · 14 Comments

  Many years ago, in my life before vintage, I watched a film I’m sure many of you are familiar with; The Postman Always Rings Twice. I only saw the film because it was required for my film studies course which focused on the noir genre and to be honest I can only barely recall the story due to…

I have just returned from an absolutely wonderful week in Sydney, and while I was there the Gigi Lou jumpsuit by Miss Candyfloss got many outings! As someone who likes to travel, something I have struggled with for a while is finding the balance between being comfortable and elegant while traveling. Over the years I have…

Beach Pajamas by Miss Candyfloss

June 11, 2016 · 15 Comments

Beach pajamas first came into the picture during the mid 1920s and remained in fashion until the 1940s. In the 1920s athletic activities became a fashionable past time among the well to do set. With women now having fewer constraints due to the war, it became acceptable for women to take up typically male dominated…

Royal Blue Evening Coat

May 23, 2016 · 13 Comments

A few months ago I was lucky enough to acquire this vintage 1920s opera coat. Aside from some very faint age marks on the inside of the lining the coat is in pristine condition as if it were made yesterday and the flawless velvet is the most striking shade of royal blue. I have a…

The Colours of Autumn

April 25, 2016 · 11 Comments

The cool change also gives me a chance to wear something more exciting than dresses! This particular jumpsuit brings to mind the ones worn by Anna May Wong who was well known for her fabulous taste in wide legged jumpsuits. While I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about wearing jumpsuits for how…

Jumping for Beach Pajamas

April 11, 2016 · 13 Comments

  And that is exactly how high I would jump if somebody said to me – would you like some beach pajamas? However as we all know, those are very rare these days and so I am forever on a mission to find something similar to the beach pajamas worn in the twenties and thirties,…

Modcloth Cause for Delectation Jumpsuit

January 23, 2016 · 10 Comments

January is by far the hottest month, and today being no exception to this rule, it might seem a bit odd that I am wearing a full piece like a jumpsuit rather than a dress! However, the light airy fabric and relaxed fit of this one piece makes it completely comfortable on days like today….

A vintage lover from Brisbane. I am passionately nostalgic for decades before my time. I enjoy recreating looks inspired by the past wearing both vintage and vintage reproduction clothing. My blog focuses on the styles of the art deco period and features both authentic vintage pieces from the 1920s, 30s & 40s, as well as modern reproductions of clothing from these eras. My blog explores creating modern every day looks with vintage elements. If you would like to say hello get in touch with me through harlow@harlowdarling.com.
