June 15th will be the second anniversary since we adopted Diago. Well yes, of course I keep the date marked on the calendar! For us it is a very special occasion to commemorate because the day we brought Diago home changed our life forever. I don’t know how we lived all those years without our…
Winter Woollies
Yesterday marked the start of winter here and I’m all in favour of the cold windy days that are ahead and the outfits that go with them. With the number of colourful trees I’ve been posting lately you would be forgiven for assuming that these are abundant where I live. Unfortunately though it could not…
Autumn Sunshine
If you don’t like plaid, well, you probably won’t like any of the outfits I’ll be posting here over the next few months. Because I love plaid. And seem to have accumulated a fair bit of it considering I don’t even live in a place that gets a lot of cold weather. When I bought…
The Raven
And here is autumn, in all its glory. The magnificent season that it is, blink and you’ll miss it. This year I’ve managed to time taking photos just as the leaves are at their most spectacular. I said earlier this year that come autumn I want to post some outfits that are darker than the…
Celestial 1930s dress
The first time I saw a picture of a hooded dress being worn it was in this picture of Little Edie Beale. But don’t worry, I can assure you that hooded 1930s dresses are not in fact a gateway to living in a house full of cats and rubbish! And I mean lets face it;…
Ava for Autumn
I’m sure there’s many of you who will agree that there is something so very satisfying about a well priced vintage find! We all know how rare that is with the popularity of vintage having taken off, and if you live in Australia the options are especially limited…So I was buzzing with excitement when I…
Hothouse Flowers
Last time I posted I was talking about my excitement for the weddings I had been invited to attend this year…How a lot has changed in the last few weeks. I’m no Samuel Pepys and I’m sure you’ve grown tired of hearing about how the world is these days, so I don’t see any need…
Dolores en Bleu
It’s a beautiful crisp autumn morning as I sit here writing this, the air has just the right amount of chill in it and the sun is out. I’m contemplating whether today is the day to dig out my autumn/winter wardrobe and do a wardrobe rotation. I don’t want to jump the gun, it just…
Make it Monochrome
Depending on where in the world you’re reading this from, you’re either waiting for spring or autumn to show. Like every year I’m feeling a good deal of relief that the worst months of summer are now behind us. Usually by January I start day dreaming about my autumn outfits and buying bits and pieces…
Sailorette
If I’m going to have one sailor dress in my wardrobe then it has to be this one. Because as far as I’m concerned it’s the quintessential vintage sailor dress. A few years ago I really went over board (sorry couldn’t help myself) with collecting sailor dresses. Maybe those of you who have been reading…
