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…
Stealing Lana Turner’s Style
Many years ago, in my life before vintage, I watched a film I’m sure many of you are familiar with; The Postman Always Rings Twice. I only saw the film because it was required for my film studies course which focused on the noir genre and to be honest I can only barely recall the story due to…
Shhh-shoo baby, shoo, shoo!
Emmy Design are a brand known for their high quality vintage reproduction designs that feature a beautiful range of clothes from the thirties to the sixties. I was recently asked to review a piece from their SS16 collection! The Lemon Shoo Shoo dress and bolero set was inspired by a 1940s dress from the designers…
Pink Swing Trousers!
I love wearing vintage swing trousers, but always have a hard time shopping for them. I am pretty short, so the hems pool at my feet and the waist is usually too big. But for the first time ever – I actually have a pair of trousers that fit so perfectly that they did not…
Riding in Heels
Some of you may already know, but a few days ago my lovely partner Hugh surprised me with this beautiful new bike! My old bike could never handle the hills in the area we live in too well, and after one too many problems getting the breaks to work I decided to play it safe…
Landgirl
One thing that I regret, is not having got myself a pair of dungarees sooner! As you know, I love my Freddies of Pinewood jeans that I already own, and these dungarees might be a new favorite. Like the other Freddies jeans, I bought these based on waist measurement and found them true to size….
The Lighthouse
I used to try really hard to limit the amount of nautical things in my wardrobe. However I am now at the point where I’m not going to bother with these restrictions anymore because the fact is – nautical always look fabulous. Living in Australia means that I have many opportunities to go to the…
Giant Sunflowers & Gingham
I wish I’d had a chance to photograph these sunflowers a few weeks earlier when they were less wilted and absolutely magnificent, but although they look a little sad and worn now I still think they are most impressive for how tall they are! I think it’s spring – I never really know what season…
The Ekka!
August – my favorite month! You can smell spring in the air and all of the pink flowers are in bloom, but best of all is that it’s Ekka time. Since it’s spring the mornings are still quite chilly but the days are very hot – like it’s summer already so I went with a…
Wildflowers and Tiny Berries
Until recently there were no flowers growing in the bushland area near our house, not even any grass. The deer had gobbled up everything they could until the whole area was left bare. So this week when we went for a walk here I was delighted to see that all of the wildflowers were back!…
