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,…
Wildflowers and Tiny Berries
Until recently there were no flowers growing in the bushland area near our house, not even any grass. The deer had gobbled up everything they could until the whole area was left bare. So this week when we went for a walk here I was delighted to see that all of the wildflowers were back!…
At the Avalon
For years now, I’ve driven past this abandoned art deco theater on the way to class. It’s a beautiful old building and it’s a shame to see it boarded up when it has so much potential! I rarely go to the movies, but if cinemas were still like they used to be, I would probably…
Trashy Diva Sandy Dress in Pearl Harbour
Dress – Trashy DivaShoes – Novo I love dresses that cause me to constantly want to twirl around, and this would have to be one of my favorite ones to twirl around in! Classes went back last week and things are a pretty full on at the moment so I will be keeping blog posts…
