How to Start Dressing Retro

August 17, 2018January 18, 20211 Comment

Recently, I've had quite a few people ask me, how can they start dressing vintage or pinup? What items should they start purchasing? Where should they go? and what to avoid. Instead of repeating myself like my childhood parrot, I thought I might turn this into a blog and hopefully help more people on their … Continue reading How to Start Dressing Retro

Easy Ways to Enjoy Your Mornings

June 29, 2018June 14, 2018Leave a comment

For years I have had a love-hate relationships with mornings. I love my sleep but I personally find that if I don’t push myself to be productive in the morning, sometimes my day slips away from me and I don’t get everything done. I’ve slowly been changing my morning routine and I have become much … Continue reading Easy Ways to Enjoy Your Mornings

Pinup with a Passport – New York Adventures

June 25, 2018June 14, 2018Leave a comment

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today ... For the majority of my time in New York I had Frank Sinatra singing 'New York' in my head which I must admit, made it all the more exciting. Waking up in the city that never sleeps had a peculiar exhilaration that cannot be described; the city … Continue reading Pinup with a Passport – New York Adventures

Miss Weekend on Wheels Pinup Competition

June 22, 2018June 14, 2018Leave a comment

It feels about time to start writing about pinup pageants and competitions; Im not a veteran nor do I have 100 titles but pageants are something that I've started getting into and I find them a lot of fun. Although I plan to write about them generally, I thought it might be nice to reflect … Continue reading Miss Weekend on Wheels Pinup Competition

Pinup with a Passport – Road Trip to Jurien Bay

June 15, 2018August 6, 2018Leave a comment

A few months ago, myself, Miss Lady Lady, Miss Lillian Rose and Fate Photography were all commissioned to create some vintage beach images for the Family Affair Cafe in Jurien Bay. Needless to say, the images were a huge success and the locals loved them! It didn't take long before we were all invited for … Continue reading Pinup with a Passport – Road Trip to Jurien Bay

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?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
