One of the perils of living in Australia, is that sometimes when you buy things online they get sent to Austria instead. Yes, really, that happens. Or it has to me, because that’s where this lovely knit ended up when I bought it. I guess statistically when you order the amount of things online that…
Postcards
I don’t know how it was decided that March is the first month of autumn in the Antipodes and spring in the rest of the world…Every year seems to be the same; March starts with a healthy heaping of snow in Europe and in Australia it’s summers final hurrah. I’ve just picked several kilos of…
All The Green Things
Hopefully I’m not jinxing myself by saying this…but we’ve had a pretty decent summer by Brisbane standards this year. My banana tree has produced several kilos of very nice looking bananas, and my hibiscus plants have bloomed beautifully. After last year I’m not taking any of this for granted. And it looks like it has…
Tropicana
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…
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…
