vintage dress patterns
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).

love always, Willow
October 22, 2012
I’ve long been a fan of Australian designer Kit Willow’s eponymous line of artful yet flatteringly wearable clothes.

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 […]
