Well June has been a busy month. Busy with lots of fun things that is! But something that wasn’t so fun was when my camera had to be laid to rest. We were taking photos and suddenly a big black mark appeared on the photos and that was it. That said, after 12 years of…
Brown 1940s Suit
One of my smartest purchases to date has been this suit that I bought a few years ago. The amount of outfits I’ve put together using the skirt and blazer as separates has really carried my wardrobe throughout the cooler months. Previously I have posted the blazer and skirt separately so it’s probably about time…
Pistachio
Satin slacks, metallic heels, celestial accessories and a long sleeve blouse is an outfit combination I’m crazy about at the moment. These slacks are meant to be worn as part of a sleepwear set, but there’s no way that’s stopping me from wearing them as outer wear! Even though this is a fairly simple outfit,…
Plastiflex
For someone who’s only crafty/artistic abilities are strictly limited to using a glue gun and the occasional embroidery, I sure have some very industrious friends. Recently a friend of mine decided to have a red hot go at recreating the iconic 1940s plastiflex bags that were extremely fashionable throughout the 40s for their elegant and…
Dragon Woman
Now that the novelty of a new year has worn off, I’m ready to get back into blogging. Not that the weather this time of year makes it easy, mind you. But with 2024 being the year of the dragon zodiac I thought it was fitting for this to be my first outfit post of…
Seersucker Romper
Left it until the very last minute to post this because I couldn’t decide whether to scrap these photos. And then panicked and decided that I may as well post them because I don’t like the other set of photos I have either! So I’ll keep this last post of the year short and sweet….
Powder Blue Ruby
I was recently at a vintage market where I found a true vintage version of this exact dress, but in a peach fabric. If it wasn’t for the fact that I already had this lovely dress waiting for me at home I would have been a bit sad (since the vintage original had a 24′…
La Femme En Noir
If you grew up in Australia then you probably didn’t get to enjoy Halloween. That’s how it was when I was growing up, not that it stopped me from imposing Halloween on my friends and family. Now as an adult I’ve seen the rest of the country gradually become more interested in Halloween with every…
CC41 style
The last outfit from the short season of cooler weather we get is a 1940s reproduction suit by Miss Bamboo. I love that more and more vintage repro brands have started making 1940s suit sets and I try to grab one every time a good one comes out. Miss Bamboo have actually released suits for…
WLA
A few years ago I was very much attached to my denim Freddies of Pinewood dungarees. I loved how they looked, but unfortunately living in the tropics you don’t get a lot of wear out of denim. So when Emmy Design did a pair of dungarees in linen, I thought hey what a great idea!…
