Summers last hurrah comes in the form of sunflowers. I view them as a peace offering for all of the hot days when I walked around looking like Pierrot each time I got off my half hour commute into the city on a non air conditioned train. I don’t think it’s possible not to love…
Timeless Tartan
I was planning on holding off from posting autumn content for a while yet, I mean it is only mid August after all but this afternoon when I came home I couldn’t help noticing that the leaves have already started to change colour, and I got caught in what I think is the beginning of…
The Home Companion
It’s pretty much a guarantee that if I’m not in the city, I’m at home wearing this outfit or a variation of it. Now I love the glamour of getting dressed up for the city, but I also have a major soft spot for the countryside and tracking through miles of thick forest that is…
Strawberry Summer
If you’ve seen my instagram stories then you already know what I’ve been up to – picking strawberries, eating strawberries, and making jam. It’s an obsession of mine. I don’t know what it is exactly but there is something so satisfying about being able to go out into a field and pick your own fruit…
Rainbow Dots
Well I’ve been in Moscow for over a week now, and as you can see we’ve had some beautiful sunny days – perfect for taking brunch in a pastel cafe on Red Square. I know that Paris gets a lot of hype for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world…but maybe the…
A Midsummer Morning
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…
