vintage dress patterns

November 26, 2012

0

A read somewhere recently of a woman who has a tailor make her clothes from vintage dress patterns. I think that’s such a great concept (especially for those of us who are impartial to sewing). During the mid twentieth century many European couture houses issued certified dress design patterns and you can source them now […]

My late night obsession with Etsy resulted in the discovery of hello Milky - a little Melbourne design line that specialises in children’s bed linen and soft furnishings. I love the adorable cloud pillow, and the natural linen range with neon pink dots. Available through Etsy.

Isn’t this a great idea? Vintage jars painted in distressed pastel hues. So pretty! From Beach Blues.

ankle straps in Paris

August 15, 2012

This photo by The Sartorialist is too chic. Plus I have a huge soft spot for shoes with the simplest of ankle straps. Similar shoes can be found at Shopbop (Alexander Wang), and at Asos – this pair (only $65!) and this pair. Metalicus do great basic skinny tops, like this back boat neck tee, and for […]

1930′s wedding gown

Isn’t this cascading gown just divine? I love how the elaborate swathes of fabric and stately lengths are balanced by the simplicity of the cut and overall look: soft organdie as opposed to showy silk, a demure peter pan collar rather than a plunging neckline, petite cap sleeves in place of spaghetti straps. From Vintage […]

Hello beauties! My sister is marrying her dashing young man in January and their honeymoon is in Hawaii. She asked me to put together a little style guide for her trip, one that was sensitive to her own sense of style. My sister is gorgeous to look at and has a beautiful figure – she […]

etsy style inspiration: peach bellini

July 17, 2012

Morning! A selection of treasures from Etsy, inspired by the retro indulgence that is a peach bellini (part sparkling wine, part peach syrup). Think crisp whites and corals on tanned skin, sharpened by a touch of navy. Chic ballet flats on timeworn footpaths threading through rolling beachside streets; jewelled sandals and straw hats al fresco […]

Personal Shopper: Etsy designer gems

Now that I am 22 weeks pregnant I find myself doing a lot of imaginary shopping for types of clothes I cannot wear at the moment and probably won’t be able to wear for a while post-birth either (as much as I like to imagine myself slipping into a svelte little dress the moment the […]

Style tips for winter warming

August 15, 2011

9

As much as I love and dream about all things summery and balmy, I admit I do like the coziness of winter – provided I am warm at all times. One of the things I always lamented about winter was the overwhelming complexity of dressing. I love clothes but I also love easy style. In […]
