Happy belated Halloween folks. Today's recipe is a little bit French Queen, a little bit dead. You guessed it, it's Marie Antoinette!While I'm not awesome enough to do things the real way, I did mana...
My computer keeps blue screening... I wonder if it would be as traumatic if it was a nice light blue rather than such a bright agressive blue. But yeah... time for a new computer! If I lived in the S...
The word 'glom' (which means to steal or to attach to) is a word that I first came into contact with during the movie, Josie and the Pussycats. It's the perfect word to describe how I've been feeling...
The light seems different up here.More to come. :)
About two months ago, I was reading through an old Vogue and there was one of those small stories in the first few pages with a headline "Navy is the New Black". For someone like me whose outfits are...
Since I've last posted pictures, so much has happened.So, so, much.New dresses! Poor attempt at frames! These dresses are interesting. None of them are made of natural fibers (usually a big deal brea...

Sometimes I feel as though my tastes are constantly changing and then other days.... well, I realise how they are pretty much exactly the same. Like when I was in high school, my favourite classic fi...
Catch ups. 1. I was lucky enough to be featured as Vintage Queen #10 on the Queens of Vintage website. It's a pretty super cool site (and not just because I'm on it!). It's like a daily online magazi...
Sadly signing up with Bloglovin means that everyone sees how impatient I am when I press enter immediately after typing in my quote-y title. So please forgive me for being such a technological dunce....
It's interesting you know, when you receive gifts from other people... while you might continue to fall into the same shopping traps (another pair of black round toed shoes), they see 'hidden' obsess...
Lauren = sucker for ridiculous prints. Perhaps you've noticed that the pieces I love most are fairly outlandish, novelty prints. The best way I've discovered to track down these pieces is to type wor...
What a fast weekend. Over in a flash. Perhaps it was something to do with the weather.Or perhaps it's magic?Inspired by - Picnic at Hanging Rock.... The book is far far creepier than the movie.Wearin...
I'm in love with things that have charm. I don't care if they are careworn/falling to bits. Like this jacket. It's missing so many bits here and there, a touch of braid, a few buttons. But when I put...
But though they worked like Trojans all,The fire still went aheadSo far as you could see around,The very skies were red,Sometimes the flames would start afresh,Just where they thought it dead.An exce...
I think I'm in love with Keira Knightly.I think I'm in love with this outfit. I need an asymmetrical buttoned shirt.I just cut myself a fringe as a result.I hope I didn't just make a huge mistake.
I haven't been posting as much as I want. I work full time and have been doing so for around six months now. When I'm dressing for work I tend to stick to the same shapes, patterns and pieces. All th...
This weekend I finally got around to waking up early... which is pretty marvellous for me. And what did I do with this magnificent re-claimed morning? Why I went to the markets!That being said the ma...
I've been slowly acquiring a small collection of 1950s vintage dresses. This latest one is the dress that I got for Christmas. I've spoken before about my love of bird prints and so this dress seemed...
Or in my case, looking on Etsy for too long. This post could also be entitled - Things I Love But Will Never Own.Amazingly, amazing Vintage Wicker and Plastic Handle Poodle Bag. This reminds me so mu...
A veryveryvery belated New Year's post. I spent forever and ever making this dress only to take absolutely horrible photos of it. Which sucks. An explanation though. These photos were taken after I'd...
I hope that everyone's weekend has been going well. In between lolling on my mattress and eating delicious, delicious Pringles, I've been looking for more things to put in the store and thinking abou...
I don't know if I'm meant to tell people this, but I love musicals, unconditionally. From Meet Me in St Louis to South Pacific to movies that aren't really musicals but in which the characters at cer...
A little bit of something else.I wore this last year. It's one of the many reasons why I haven't been posting to much. I've more a slave to the sewing machine than to the 'internet' machine, as the l...
Long time, no see.Vanilla Dress: self-made, vintage fabricRed bird brooch: thrift.Shoes: thrift, recently re-coloured.Luggage: New for my birthday!A perfect outfit for running away.
So I bought some shoes. Some brown heels. And they seem to be the missing link in my wardrobe. The only other dark brown shoes I have are pixie boots, which are falling to bits.I love a bit of patter...
In the blink of an eyelid, I'm becoming some one I'd never thought I'd be. So caught up in the mundane that I'm unable to see the magic. How did this happen and how can I escape it? Meetings with ban...
I miss the blogging community, I wouldn't have said that I was addicted but I now fully appreciate how much just reading everyone's posts, leaving comments and writing/typing down my thoughts makes m...
Times are supposedly getting tougher. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't read/hear/see a story about how people are losing their jobs and how it's getting harder to make ends meet. I feel fo...
