When I stumbled across this glorious photo from an authentic 1986 Kmart catalogue I was smitten! The hair! The shoes! The white tights! The fluffy hair! But most of all… the prints on those dresses! Now, being about 6 years old the year this came out, I didn’t have the opportunity to dress up exactly…
I don’t know who Whistles are but this is a very nice invitation that they sent out and gives me all kinds of ideas. Cut out people were one of my favourite things when I was a kid, and now I wonder why I don’t do more of them. I haven’t done much paper cutting…
This photograph of Edwardian actress Phyllis Monkman is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I had a costume like that to muck around in! I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but I adore how this has been displayed. The flavours include: black sesame, lanvender, melon, sweet adzuki bean, green tea and miso. Photo by M Harrison.…
My cousin is getting married very soon and her “bad taste bridesmaid” hen’s night is this weekend so I went with my sister to find some terrible (yet incredible) frocks. We decided on a whim to stop into the Wooloongabba Antique Centre and stayed there for hours exploring the place! It’s a warehouse jam-packed with…
This chart for discerning a wife’s wifeliness just popped up in my dashboard on Tumblr, and I had a little giggle about it and though I should post it here for some lite blog content over the holiday period. I thought I should credit the original source, The Art of Manliness, because that’s the polite…
If you love month long projects and vintage dresses, you should check out Amanda’s Vintage November project. The first two days are adorable so far, I envisage some serious frothing at the mouth in the weeks to come! I’m very inspired to search a little harder to find more vintage dresses. I love wearing them…
Today I went to the Brisbane Finders Keepers markets on a whim, despite being apprehensive about being amongst such talent and gorgeous knick knackery. I got this vintage dress in the mail last week, so I decided to seize the day (and the overcast weather) and wear it out before it gets really really hot.…
Daydream Lily posted about Renee and Angela‘s new venture, {twin set}, which is an online vintage fashion store with some really gorgeous pieces. If you are bigger than an AU size 18, you might have discovered that plus size vintage is pretty scarse. As a result, I am so used to dismissing straight sized fashion…
⇒ My friend Pete posted this video on twitter yesterday, it’s just gorgeous! ⇒ I said it on tumblr, and I’ll say it here: So fancy it makes my eyes water. Via Design*Sponge. ⇒ Lady Agnew by John Singer Sargent. I saw a few of Sargent’s paintings last Friday night, in the flesh! ⇒ Now…
It’s Father’s Day in Australia and New Zealand tonight, so we went over to Mum and Dad’s to have a big family dinner. I gave Dad this card, which I made from reclaimed materials (including: card from Reverse Garbage, drawing from my notebook and paper from Frankie magazine). We also made Dad special home made…
