When I open my wardrobe at this time of year there’s a few specific colours and prints that dominate. Burgundy being one of them, and the others being black and brown/mustard. With some dark florals and plaid here and there as well. Yes, fairly predictable and not exactly riveting but this seems to be what…
Poppies & Plaid
Autumn is of course the season of plaid and berets just as summer is about tropical prints and straw hats. I originally tried very hard to resist putting together an outfit with such a Christmas colour combination when it’s May (mustard and brown accessories were my first thought for an autumn pallet) but then I…
Hello Dolly!
Nothing has been more cheering than seeing that the leaves have finally started to turn. A bit later than usual, but finally my favourite season is here and I’m feeling revitalised and inspired. So just like that we’ve gone from tropical prints and palms to wool, dark florals and ocher leaves. This outfit here is…
Tropical Athletic Wear
I’ve been wondering if this will be my last summery outfit for a while, since technically it’s autumn now. But I’m not making any promises, since the days are still very warm and sunny – as can be seen from these photos. It has been a while since I’ve worn a playsuit and when Collectif…
Go Bananas
While the calendar may suggest that we are in the first month of autumn here, everyone in Brisbane has declared that we are currently experiencing our second summer. The weather has been absolutely tropical here – hot days that end with a bang in the form of thunder and lightning. As you can see from…
Springtime for Babushka
Sometimes, I like to wear black head to toe. And then there’s times when I like to sport an explosion of colours. Loud outfits like this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but this one is a favourite mine for sentimental reasons. I love it because the vibrant colours and print of this dress…
1940s Adventuress
When your home decor matches the set of Jumanji, you may as well embrace the whole look! I thought it was about time I blogged a vintage explorer inspired look after wanting to do so for so long. The main reason I’d put it off is because it’s taken me this long to find a…
Vintage Wedding Guest
When you get to my age, which will go unmentioned, the wedding invitations start to pour in. Suddenly everyone you know is coupling up and celebrating it. The moment you’re done with one wedding, another invite promptly arrives in the mail. Which I think is great really, because what’s not to love about an occasion…
A Home Among the Gum Trees
One of my favourite things about living in Queensland is the unique style in which we build our houses. But they don’t just look whimsical, they’re also incredibly practical too as they were designed to keep the inside of the house cool by catching the breeze. That’s the reason behind the winding veranda and the…
A Turban for the Tropics
Whenever I think of turbans two of old Hollywood’s leading ladies come to mind; Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich. Both wore turbans as part of their iconic looks and as a result these fabulous hair accessories have always been associated with the height of glamour. Or at least in my eyes. What I love most…
