Vermillion Valley

April 11, 2017 · 6 Comments

This would have to be the dress I’ve blogged the most, I’ve had it since I began wearing vintage inspired looks and I don’t think my love for it will ever wane. I only wish there more more 1940s repro pinafore dresses out there – I have no idea why there aren’t! While I was going for a…

Luna Park

April 3, 2017 · 8 Comments

I am still very much a child at heart, and amusement parks are among my favourite places to visit. Luna Park is an Australian icon that funnily enough was inspired by the American Coney Island theme park and as you can see the place has very vintage look, complete with old school side show amusements. Unfortunately while…

De la Rosa

So as you already know, I really love a good rose print! The last dress from Karina Dresses that I blogged, the Mia, also had roses on it so I guess that tells you everything. The Megan dress in English Rose is part of Karina Dresses newly released spring collection and has just the right…

1940s two piece in dogwood

February 13, 2017 · 8 Comments

Right before my birthday, Trashy Diva released a new print – the dogwood collection. I gasped as soon as I saw the fabric and had a hard time deciding on what piece to get. I ended up going for this 1940s two piece set as you know I pretty much live in resort wear and the heart…

1940s Christmas Party Style

December 17, 2016 · 8 Comments

The count down is on – there are now only eight sleeps left! As excited as I am for Christmas, I also don’t want the season to be over and for all of the decorations to be put away. One of my favourite parts of the season is the parties and get togethers that take place…

Pinecones & Puff Sleeves

December 11, 2016 · 11 Comments

How can it be that soon it will be Christmas, and what has been another great year will already be over? When December arrives I like to spend the month binging on Christmas. I go and see the lighting of the Christmas tree in the city, shop for ornaments, watch the Christmas fireworks, try all…

Going Country

October 3, 2016 · 15 Comments

In the misty early mornings and sun dappled days the countryside is beautiful and idyllic. Nothing but the sound of birdsong and cicadas, gentle breezes and the smell of clover and orange blossoms blooming in the orchard. But as the sun begins to set and darkness encloses the landscape an eerie quietness sets in. And…

Earlier this year I acquired a stack of women’s magazines from the 1940s. Reading them made me realise two things – how much I love 40s fashion, and how lucky I am to have been born in modern times. If you have ever read some of the advice columns in a magazine from the 1940s…

For both vintage girls and non vintage girls alike, a simple but elegant black dress is a necessary wardrobe staple. Black is often seen as a more serious colour, but it really doesn’t have to be as it is quite versatile. A classic black dress is just the thing if you like a bit of spontaneity…

The Clarice Dress by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury

July 25, 2016 · 14 Comments

My love of red dresses all started with Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. I have talked before about how film has had a subconscious influence on pushing me in the direction of vintage and I would have to say Inglorious Basterds had the most significant influence of all. I was around eighteen when the film came…

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.
