I always love to start the new year with a new outfit, and the lovely Dorothy dress by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury felt perfectly fitting for the first post of the year. I don’t think there’s another colour as cheerful as yellow is, and I have high hopes that this will be a happy year….
September Sakura
For some reason every year when cherry blossom season arrives, I never seem to have a pink dress on hand. Not that a pink dress is required to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I just like things to match the way any other blogger would. Never mind though, because I had this lovely JacksDaughter dress to…
Gingham Pinafore
So, having worn my green pinafore to death on the blog…I decided to have it made in several colours. I first fell in love with the style when I bought the PinaFleur from Heyday and it left me wanting even more dresses in this style. Since Heyday had no plans to produce more in different…
1940s Fair Isle Knit
My favourite thing about cold weather? Wearing outfits that are soft, comfortable and cosy. I love wearing wool, flannel and anything that feels like a soft warm blanket against my skin. This outfit ended up being a bit of an accident. We went out of town and when we arrived at our destination it was…
Darling, Darling
White dresses have been a long time favourite of mine. I love wearing them in summer and the endless accessorizing possibilities that a crisp white dress presents. Although technically the dress I’m wearing is a delicate shade of cream, and it is the appropriately named Darling Darling dress from Emmy Design’s latest Spring/Summer release! When…
Keep Calm and Dress like Paddington Bear
Before anyone asks whether I planned this outfit to coincide with the latest royal wedding, it actually just turned out to be a coincidence! The same way in which there just so happened to be this British phone box sitting outside a shop in a very small sleepy town in middle of nowhere rural Queensland….
Clambering Blooms
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
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
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
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…
