Emmy Design are a brand known for their high quality vintage reproduction designs that feature a beautiful range of clothes from the thirties to the sixties. I was recently asked to review a piece from their SS16 collection! The Lemon Shoo Shoo dress and bolero set was inspired by a 1940s dress from the designers…
Modcloth Cause for Delectation Jumpsuit
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….
The ‘Harlow’ Dress
I do not let my short stature keep me from wearing maxi dresses! Maxi dresses are especially fantastic because one doesn’t have to think too hard about what shoes to pair them with, meaning I can forego wearing heels and could most likely get away with a comfortable pair of sneakers underneath and people would…
Pink Swing Trousers!
I love wearing vintage swing trousers, but always have a hard time shopping for them. I am pretty short, so the hems pool at my feet and the waist is usually too big. But for the first time ever – I actually have a pair of trousers that fit so perfectly that they did not…
Riding in Heels
Some of you may already know, but a few days ago my lovely partner Hugh surprised me with this beautiful new bike! My old bike could never handle the hills in the area we live in too well, and after one too many problems getting the breaks to work I decided to play it safe…
Evelyn, Esme & Mildred
This week I had the pleasure of finally meeting the wonderfully talented Evelyn Wood, the designer of Evelyn Wood Vintage Fashion House and her adorable little dog Esme! Evelyn Wood is a Brisbane vintage reproduction designer and her current collection features a beautiful selection of dresses, coats and capes that range from the 1930s to…
1930s Beach Dress
Contrary to how it must look, with it being rare that you will ever see me in a hat – I actually really love wearing hats! My only problem is that its not often that I am able to find a hat that I like and you would be surprised how much time I actually…
Landgirl
One thing that I regret, is not having got myself a pair of dungarees sooner! As you know, I love my Freddies of Pinewood jeans that I already own, and these dungarees might be a new favorite. Like the other Freddies jeans, I bought these based on waist measurement and found them true to size….
Beach Pajama Dreams
Happy first day of spring to all you antipodeans – and autumn for everyone else! In my quest for 1930s beach pajamas I came across this jumpsuit on Asos which I feel is quite similar in style to those of the 30s and made of silky, flowing fabric. Authentic vintage beach pajamas from the 30s…
The Lighthouse
I used to try really hard to limit the amount of nautical things in my wardrobe. However I am now at the point where I’m not going to bother with these restrictions anymore because the fact is – nautical always look fabulous. Living in Australia means that I have many opportunities to go to the…
