Heaven is a place on earth – I believe, and for me, it is this magnificent purple sea. On this midsummer morning I was really taken aback by the beauty here in Russia. I am so happy to be back! I am here for a good long while this time, and so when I was…
Pineapple Princess
I’m sure some of you are wondering how it is that I can go from wearing faux fur one week and now to a little rayon dress? Well, that’s just the way autumn in beautiful sunny Queensland is; a few chilly days but lots of hot ones too. This week has felt like summer all…
Claudette Lou and the Black Cockatoo
Black is a colour that often gets overlooked, but I for one cannot steer clear of it. I love the dramatic effect that wearing an all black outfit has, it is such a striking colour to wear. A good black dress gives one a pantherine quality, especially if worn with furs and a veiled hat…
Girls Will Be Boys
Of all the classic Hollywood starlets I look to inspiration, the one I find myself googling the most is Katharine Hepburn. If I’m ever unsure of how to style a pair of trousers for a 40s look I know I can always count on her for inspiration. What I love so much about her style…
Easter – 1940s Style
I love Easter and all of the iconography that goes with it – baby animals, flowers, the pastels – not to mention the hot cross buns and chocolate eggs which I am currently devouring as I write this. Of course the red leaves on the ground are a give away that it’s autumn and not…
Vermillion Valley
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
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
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
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…
