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…
Giant Sunflowers & Gingham
I wish I’d had a chance to photograph these sunflowers a few weeks earlier when they were less wilted and absolutely magnificent, but although they look a little sad and worn now I still think they are most impressive for how tall they are! I think it’s spring – I never really know what season…
Anything Goes – 1930s Beach Wear Inspiration for Summer
Last Friday Nuffnang invited me to go see Anything Goes at QPAC, and ever since I have been dreaming of nothing else but 1930s beach wear. Of course it doesn’t help that I was already madly scouring the internet for 1930s beach pajamas (to no avail – drop me a line if you know someone…
The Ekka!
August – my favorite month! You can smell spring in the air and all of the pink flowers are in bloom, but best of all is that it’s Ekka time. Since it’s spring the mornings are still quite chilly but the days are very hot – like it’s summer already so I went with a…
Coven
A few weeks ago now – because that’s how long its been since I last blogged, I had a very bad hair day. A bad hair day that lasted for a very long time. You see, I had the brilliant idea to go buy a good quality toner to turn my hair a lovely silvery…
Daisy Crowns & Golden Fields
As I’m sure you’ve heard everyone else in Europe complain, it’s very hot at the moment – and although it’s still not nearly as hot by Australian standards, I’ve been staying out of the city all week to avoid the heat. It’s lovely in the countryside at the moment and a lot of the days…
1930s Nautical
Ahhh winter in Queensland! This week I’ve been to the beach and swam in the ocean – which most people wouldn’t generally do in winter, but it was wonderful, perfect even – apart from a lone shark that turned up and cut our swim a little short! I still wasn’t over my beach kick however,…
