Last Christmas my dearest friend got me this beautiful Ukrainian blouse, purchased from a small Ukrainian business on Etsy. She had bought herself a similar blouse in a different pattern and colour, and seeing how much I admired the one she had, was kind enough to get me one too. So we would have matching…
Delightful Decapoda
This has been a dream outfit of mine for a long time. I’ve had countless photos saved of Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth wearing white playsuits just like this while playing tennis, riding a bike…And this picture of Bette Davis painting her nails, red, I presume, while wearing an identical outfit. Total power move there,…
1940s Beach Pajamas
Just before the latest wave of the virus kicked off here in Australia, we went on a little holiday. We got pretty damn lucky with the timing being right before Christmas and before things became really grim. The decision to go on holiday to the beach was pretty random. I was (re)watching The Sopranos and…
Christmas 2021
Somehow I have found the strength to drag myself away from doing nothing on the couch, the done thing in the awkward post Christmas pre New Years period, to edit the last set of photos taken this year. Christmas was fantastic. All I had to do this year was turn up. Unlike previous years which…
Taking in The Tulips
These photos were taken in spring and then put aside for a rainy day. Today is that rainy day, because the wet season came early this year and it looks like it will be staying for some time. Most of the time when I take photos, I’m not very happy with them. The lighting is…
Velvet Web
When I decorated our place for Halloween this month, I put up the customary fluffy fake spider web and plastic spiders. At some point one of the spiders came loose, and ended up on the carpet…which led to me having a big freak out. Completely forgetting that it was one of the plastic spiders that…
Sakura at Sunrise
And now, for this year’s lot of gratuitous cherry blossom spam. As long as I’m alive I will never tire of seeing these beautiful trees in bloom. It will always be one of the highlights of each year, and my all time favourite backdrop for outfit photos. In preparation for my annual pilgrimage to view…
Babushka Chic
Even I don’t know why I decided to dress like the babushka’s you see outside Metro stations in Moscow selling flowers from their dacha. Maybe it’s that I miss Russia, it probably is. I’ve noticed cottagecore is hugely popular at the moment, but I think this aesthetic is more communistcore. Let’s make that a trending…
Amber Light
When I sat down to edit these photos…my first thought was; why is my hair red? It seems that the orange leaves on this tree created a natural red hued filter and changed my hair colour. Not that I’m complaining, I just find it amusing! And now I know how it would look if I…
Grey Victory Suit
This month every attempt at taking photos has been disasterous. So when I looked through this set and saw that the majority of them came out over exposed…it was scrap the whole set or whack on a black and white old timey filter. So no, none of this was done to be artistic. If you’re…
