starring: (left to right) @honeyhollowayyxx @cats_cakes_and_petticoats @nancy_wake Odd as this may sound, I am actually not very familiar with vintage hot spots in Brisbane. Normally I will drive out of town to search for vintage because the prices are more reasonable and it’s less likely for the place to have been picked clean. So a few…

(from left to right) Nancy Wake, Rob, BobbedBernice, Kim, Jacs & Dave This year I have had the pleasure of travelling to Sydney and meeting a great bunch of ladies who are part of the Sydney scene for high tea. Now I thought it would be fun to get to know the Brisbane vintage community a…
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Brisbane
Last weekend I had the pleasure of viewing the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mystery Exhibit at Old Government House. As a lover of 1920s fashion it was an absolute treat and incredibly inspiring to see the fantastic outfits created by renowned costume designer Marion Boyce. Fans of the show will be well familiar with heiress turned detective, Phryne Fisher’s eclectic style…
Vintage Girls High Tea at QVB
Last month I had the pleasure and privilege of dining with a brilliant bunch of Sydney’s vintage bloggers and instagramers. It was a day spent catching up with old friends, as well as making new friends meeting some of the lovely ladies I follow online for the first time. The fabulous get together was organised and…
The Reception
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Our wedding was a family affair where everyone got involved and lent a hand, from those that collected coffee jars throughout the year for the table lights, to the ones who made sausage rolls and did all of the electrical wiring for our lighting set up. The reception was in part…
Our Vintage Wedding: Ceremony
Photography by Cassandra Sutton I have always wanted a very traditional and sober wedding. To me a wedding is a serious and solemn occasion and it was important to us that our ceremony was incredibly formal and dignified. The whole ceremony was a surreal experience and looking back on it now everything went so fast that…
The Bride Wore Vintage
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Like many of you in the vintage community, our family and friends are not actually into vintage. While I do have my vintage friends that I have met through blogging, none of our friends and family involved in the wedding are into vintage and so it was important to me that…
Our DIY Vintage Wedding – Part I
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Our wedding day began with a very early start. Just as the sun had started to rise over the river, cups of tea were being made and flowers were being assembled. We embarked on a DIY wedding for no other reason that we did not want to get fleeced by…
1930s Tea Room
Today was a good mail day – new shoes, and Lime Crime’s Velvetine in Wicked arrived, which called for an impromptu outing so that I could finally have the chance to wear it. I don’t believe in wasting fancy makeup on just sitting at home, so it was absolutely necessary to plan an outing for…
Modern Atomic
Maybe it’s all of the Wes Anderson films I’ve been watching lately, because when we put together our house I found myself going for very bold, bright, cheery colours and so we ended up with a very colourful living room! On the outside our house is a very typical fifties ranch style design (though recently…
