Back in my baby vintage days (a phrase I’ve noticed folks in the vintage scene use to describe their youthful vintage fashion faux pas) I remember going to Sydney and seeing the Retrospec’d shop in Darlinghurst. They had a stunning shop window and seeing all of those beautiful clothes was inspiring. At the time I…
Wisteria
I took these photos at the end of September, and at the beginning of October I went to a concert. After which I got extremely ill, and pretty much have been up and down ever since. But I don’t want to sound like that elderly family member we all have that spends the first half…
Glinda the Good
Sometimes I really like the concept of an outfit, even if its not an outfit that feels very me. And this look is a good example of that. The pink, the tiara and novelty purse make me look like I’m a plastic magic wand short of throwing one of those kids princess themed parties. Or…
Witchy Folk
Nope, I haven’t decided to quit blogging. I’m still determined to be the last blogger standing! This has probably been the longest break I’ve taken from posting on here, but not through lack of wanting to. I still love blogging, and I still love dressing up. But whether I get outfit photos or not depends…
Folklore
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…
