Sewing Pattern Review: Simplicity X Lisette 1419

June 17, 2022June 22, 2022Leave a comment

Before I wore pinup and vintage clothes daily, I guess the closets description I could give my style was retro hipster. There were lots of fun prints, collars, cute sleeves and of course, I accessories with hats, long socks and cute brooches. Back then, this pattern would have been my absolute favourite "go-to" make and … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Simplicity X Lisette 1419

Miss Vintage Pinup West Coast Pageant 2022

June 13, 2022June 6, 2022Leave a comment

Since the world went into a plague spiral, I haven't really been able to do many pageants. Perth has very few pageants hosted throughout the year and travelling wasn't an option but I've noticed there have been quite a few online pageants. I kind of wish I did a few more online pageants but I … Continue reading Miss Vintage Pinup West Coast Pageant 2022

Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6322 by Gertie

June 6, 2022June 6, 2022Leave a comment

I'm sure I'm not the only one who starts a dress, puts it down halfway through and then forget's about it for absolute ages. It's easy to get overwhelmed with new fabrics and patterns and some projects just get left behind; this is my story with Butterick 6322. I started this dress in 2016, yes … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6322 by Gertie

Hot Rod and Customs Pinup Pageant 2022

June 3, 2022June 6, 2022Leave a comment

It's been a while since I've done a pinup pageant so as travel slowly begins to return to normal, I started keeping an eye out on what vintage events were being held around Australia. I remember seeing the Hot Rod and Customs Pinup Pageant last year and although I wished to apply, I couldn't quite … Continue reading Hot Rod and Customs Pinup Pageant 2022

Kbeauty – Banila Co Oil Cleanser vs. Heimish Oil Cleanser

May 30, 2022June 3, 2022Leave a comment

It's been a hot minute since my last kbeauty review and I decided it's time for another comparison review. I've been double cleansing as part of my evening routine for several years now (since at least 2014) and I do so by starting with an oil cleanser. If I could go back and change one … Continue reading Kbeauty – Banila Co Oil Cleanser vs. Heimish Oil Cleanser

Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
It might be time for me to start knitting again, it's been a while but it's the perfect lap craft for couch and movie days. I've got a few vintage patterns I'd love to try but I'm a little nervous of starting. Do you over think projects or just get on with it? I'm a chronic overthinker haha!
Im looking forward to a quiet and rainy weekend of rest, recovery and the joy of hot tea with cinnamon. What is your favourite way to warm up in winter? It's so cold at the moment here 🥶
Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
