Militaria

No, that’s not a real crocodile! But don’t worry, it’s fooled me more than enough times…It’s actually a wooden sculpture that has been cleverly placed in the water to trick people. Thankfully we don’t have the real deal in these parts…That’s a North Queensland thing. For some reason boilersuits have popped up everywhere this season….

1940s Raffia Sunhat

January 16, 2020 · 2 Comments

My final craft project of 2019 was this 1940s inspired conical hat. I kept coming across these hats styled with summer dresses and swimwear in my mid forties magazines and after a while I found myself wanting one of my own. I made my first attempt at raffia embroidery earlier in the year and thought…

Tropical Getaway

January 6, 2020 · 2 Comments

No, I didn’t leave the country and travel to a Balinese holiday resort. But I don’t blame you for wondering whether that was the case! If I was to do something like that though, this is exactly the sort of outfit I would pack. Instead this is just a beautiful tropical garden that looks like…

Christmas 2019

December 24, 2019 · 2 Comments

And so this is Christmas! I don’t have terribly much to say for my last post of the decade, I mainly stopped by to share some pictures of Diago looking adorable and festive. My favourite thing about Christmas is seeing how much Diago enjoys it! He loves to see all of our extended family and…

Kangaroo Paw

December 18, 2019 · 1 Comment

Sometimes it takes me a while to decide whether to post a set of photos – hence the inconsistency in my posting schedule. Certain details where I’ve stuffed up tend to get on my nerves and I end up scrapping the whole post. Like this set for example. It bothered me immensely how wrinkled the…

Christmas Candy Stripes

December 9, 2019 · 3 Comments

When it comes to this time of year I always feel pretty inadequate as a blogger. I see all of the beautiful Christmas photos everyone has up and can’t help but feel a little left out that I’m not sipping gluhwein or posing alongside a roaring log fire with a freshly decorated fir tree next…

Mixing vintage repro & high street

November 30, 2019 · 1 Comment

I don’t think it’s necessary to wear head to toe vintage or repro to achieve a vintage look. Although, I’ve never exactly been part of the vintage mafia (aka the vintage fashion police) so I’m probably not actually the best person to ask…One thing I’ll freely admit to though is being restrictive in what I…

Deco Heels by Lulu Hun

November 14, 2019 · 2 Comments

It’s no secret that I love anything with Australian plants and flowers on it. When I saw this 1930s dress with a matching hat – that had gumnuts pinned to the brim and came with a gumnut brooch, well, it was meant to be. It’s also really clever, or perfect even, that the colour scheme…

A Floral Oasis

November 3, 2019 · 1 Comment

Orange isn’t a colour I ever thought I’d like. But here I am, wearing it for what is probably the first time and I actually rather like it. I love a good cheerful print and the day we took these photos was a very happy spring day. The flowers were looking magnificent, bees were crawling…

Philodendron

October 24, 2019 · 4 Comments

Not sure what’s going on this season but for the first time ever all of the high street stores seem to be delivering the goods. I’ve always been very open about my dislike for modern fashion (sorry not sorry) so I did not see this coming. Suddenly pieces that have a vintage appropriate look are…

A vintage lover from Brisbane. I am passionately nostalgic for decades before my time. I enjoy recreating looks inspired by the past wearing both vintage and vintage reproduction clothing. My blog focuses on the styles of the art deco period and features both authentic vintage pieces from the 1920s, 30s & 40s, as well as modern reproductions of clothing from these eras. My blog explores creating modern every day looks with vintage elements. If you would like to say hello get in touch with me through harlow@harlowdarling.com.
