Every now and then I will come across a high street piece that really speaks to me. I don’t like making impulsive purchases (something that I used to be really terrible with once upon a time…) so these days if I buy something it needs to be something I’ve wanted for a long time. As…
1930s nautical
Yes, I’m clearly having a moment with head scarves right now. Some of it is to do with how easy they are to accessorise, and because I’ve been having a lot of bad hair days lately. In the case of these photos I thought it would be a great idea to try a different style…
Harlequin
It’s been two years since I last wore a pair of beach pajamas on the blog. Crazy! I have never lived close to the beach, and now that we live further inland I’ve had even less reasons to go. Not that it has stopped me from buying beach pajamas! This month the opportunity finally presented…
Gingham & Strawberries
I’ve spent a good deal of time admiring vintage basket purses from the 40s & 50s in antiques stores, but every time I thought about getting one, I thought; oh I could easily make something like it. And for half the price too…I mean yes, it’s not as special as the real thing, but close…
Big bows, little bows, lots of bows!
Well hello August! No more holding out hope that I might get a chance to post some winter outfits on here, back to summer outfits again! Still, it was nice to take photos with colourful leaves while I had the chance…and now we’re back to pretty flowers. But how can I complain, look at these…
Marlene Monochrome
The first piece that I ever bought from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury was this blouse, about four or five years ago. I admit, I don’t wear a lot of separates, it’s true. That’s because it isn’t as often that I find ones that I like as much as a dress, which is obviously easy to…
The Emblem of Our Land
I didn’t expect to be blogging anything that I had planned for my spring/summer wardrobe right during what is meant to be the coldest month of winter – yet here we are. Winter in Queensland is weird. Some days it feels like summer is back. And then it’s cold again. So if you were expecting…
Green Moonshine
Well, it seems like there’s no shortage of beautiful maple leaves this year. So as you can see I’ve been taking full advantage of that and taking photos with every pretty tree I come across. Sorry not sorry! Among the beautiful dresses that The Seamstress of Bloomsbury recently added to their collection, is the Lucy…
Deco Caplet Dress
When I open my wardrobe at this time of year there’s a few specific colours and prints that dominate. Burgundy being one of them, and the others being black and brown/mustard. With some dark florals and plaid here and there as well. Yes, fairly predictable and not exactly riveting but this seems to be what…
Poppies & Plaid
Autumn is of course the season of plaid and berets just as summer is about tropical prints and straw hats. I originally tried very hard to resist putting together an outfit with such a Christmas colour combination when it’s May (mustard and brown accessories were my first thought for an autumn pallet) but then I…
