March 26, 2021March 25, 2021Leave a comment

The pinup and vintage loving community has prided itself on generally being one that is empowering, supportive and inclusive but over the last year or so, I've started to notice a huge shift in it's original values. I should start by saying that no community will ever get along with no issues or quarrels, that's … Continue reading Is Pinup Culture Toxic?

Instagram’s Monster; Part 1

July 10, 2020July 2, 2020Leave a comment

Online, the way one presents themselves and their identity is fluid which means that users of media, such as Instagram, can create and generate several different versions of themselves (Kendall 1998, Turkle 1999). Turkle described the computer as a means of creating a ‘second self’ (1984), Instagram can be seen as a popular way of … Continue reading Instagram’s Monster; Part 1

The Self and The Selfie

July 3, 2020July 2, 20202 Comments

Over the last little while, I've been thinking about the way we represent ourselves in both real life and the online realm. The online world is a strange space where you can be whoever you want to be with very few limitations; you can become famous overnight or build an empire. I've been reflecting a … Continue reading The Self and The Selfie

Being the Friend Who is Always in Pain

June 8, 2020July 1, 2020Leave a comment

I've discussed on my blog many times before that I suffer from chronic pain; I have Endometriosis and chronic migraines. The other day, I had a friend tell me, "if you're in pain, then just stay home because you just bring everybody down", now at first, it didn't really bother me. It wasn't until a … Continue reading Being the Friend Who is Always in Pain

Sometimes it's scary how well Google knows you and what you like to buy. At the end of last year I kept getting recommended this Acorn Rattan bag from @olliella and you bet ya bottom I loved it. Google knew I would want a bag designed for children for myself. Ah, well played Google, well played.
This weekend was all about recovering from my recent operation but it gave me time to start planning my next vintage ghibli sewing project.
When dressing in the vintage style, many of us feel the pressure to style ourselves in a way to suit. Red lips and curled hair become iconic for vintage styling but for people like me, styling my hair can be a bit of a challenge.
When I was a kid, I went through a pretty strong Hello Kitty phase. My entire desk was covered in every piece of Hello Kitty stationery I could get my hands on, much of which I still have today. The new collection from @erstwilder with @hellokitty made my nine year old self squeal with joy! Oh and of course @miss.vintage.orchid is also Hello Kitty obsessed!

This little bunny wants to wish you all a wonderful and safe Easter.
When you watch one too many 80s films right before an Easter shoot. Bette Midler would be proud 💚
Be honest, how often do you wash your foam/sponge curlers? I try to wash mine at least once a month as I use multiple times a week. They can start to look a bit gross and sad if you don't keep them clean.
Have you ever procrastinated so hard that years go by and you still haven't done the thing you set out to do? Well, that happened to me; for over two and a half years I have wanted to create a mini-series on my blog (and now YouTube) where I take my favourite Studio Ghibli films and characters and turn them into a vintage version of themselves.
Self care is the best kind of care 💙
