This year’s Christmas tree is something a little different. Well, very different! It’s definitely been the most contested tree yet – people either love it or they absolutely hate it. Some of the reactions from friends and family so far have been very amusing, because at first no one knew what to think. It all…
Mount Tamborine
For a while now I’ve been wanting to try something different. I know it sounds silly but I often feel like even though this is my blog, I can only post very specific content. Well, only things that are fashion related. Much as I do love fashion – of course, I like other things as…
Vintage Weekends – Paddington Antiques Crawl
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.

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.

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…
