Clambering Blooms

March 17, 2018 · 5 Comments

If you’re wondering how many dresses I have in this cut – the answer is three. Just three – but I know that’s probably excessive as it is! The reason I have so many is that they were bought for work wear and then it just so happened that they were perfect for just about…

Surviving Summer

March 1, 2018 · 6 Comments

You know when you’re taking blog photos and you’re thinking to yourself oh I sure hope the poisonous snakes aren’t feeling particularly feisty today… Or is that just a me problem? I’m probably the only one mad (or foolish) enough to decide to defiantly take photos in the area where there have been a lot of snake…

Sunflower Siren

January 27, 2018 · 8 Comments

When it comes to 1940s fashion, Winston Churchill is probably the last person to come to mind. However, it is the great man himself who is credited with the invention of the iconic 40s Siren Suits, or ‘Romper Suit’ as he called them. The story goes that Winston was watching bricklayers working on his garden…

1940s Peach Pastels

January 20, 2018 · 6 Comments

To cut a really long story short, we moved house! And moved to a different city. It all happened unexpectedly and just over the span of a few weeks and now that we are finally settled in our new home it feels wonderful to be able to sit down and write a blog post after…

Riding into the holiday season

November 29, 2017 · 5 Comments

If I’m really lucky, sometimes it stops raining long enough for me to go for a bike ride. And yes, I realise I keep bringing up the rain lately but that’s because it’s that time of year where it’s pretty much non stop. It’s a very good day if it stays clear long enough for…

The Purple Way of Delight

November 22, 2017 · 6 Comments

Some places get lilac and wisteria, but in these parts we get big glorious jacaranda trees. If you’re not familiar with these trees, I suppose they must look quite strange – a huge tree covered in little blue bells! Underneath them you will find a purple carpet, and when they’re all in bloom the city…

Callistemon

November 14, 2017 · 6 Comments

Every year when November comes around I start to get really flustered. I love Christmas and all of the imagery that goes with it – apart from the fact that it doesn’t apply to me at all and I simply cannot relate to it. I love snowmen, sledding, holly plants and gingerbread, but the last…

Australian Flora

November 7, 2017 · 7 Comments

You know when you really love an outfit and have grand plans for it? A really great backdrop, perfect matching accessories…only for none of the those things to work out. But it happens, it’s all part of blogging and there are times that I do throw in the towel, and then there are times where…

Tropical Pastels

October 24, 2017 · 4 Comments

After a whole month where it rained every day, the sun finally came out. Living in a country where the sun shines for most of the year, it’s kind of amazing how much I take that for granted. Actually I take a lot about this wonderful country for granted and I’ve been trying to remedy…

Pink Frilly Cherry Trees

October 16, 2017 · 8 Comments

“I had made up my mind that if you didn’t come for me tonight I’d go down the track to that big wild cherry tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night. I wouldn’t be a bit afraid, and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree…

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.
