Setting up a sewing room really gave me a chance to go through all my sewing related things and make space for them in a way that's logical and organised (my sewing space being a pile of storage boxes was a pain and I'll never go back to that). Going through my patterns, I came … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Retro Butterick 6175

**Please Note: since the release of this review, it has been drawn to my attention that Retro Stage has been engaging in unethical practices. Customers have not been receiving their orders and all attempts at corespondance has fallen on deaf ears. Furthermore, pinups have had their photos used to promote a dress of Retro Stage … Continue reading Retro Stage Mrs Maisel Dress Review Part 2
It's been a while since I wrote about a pageant that I participated in and it's a topic I love to share.

Anywho, here we are a … Continue reading Miss Sou’West Vintage Fest Pageant 2019

I originally wasn't going to post an outfit recap for the month of September as I actually only left the house a hand full of days due to just being run off my feet and still needing some time to look after my mental health.

After a very much needed break, it's about time I catch up on last months outfits. As most of you already know, I was in Europe spending some quality time with my family. This was also time for me to take a break and have some self-care time. I didn't get dressed up every day … Continue reading Monthly Outfit Recap – July
So June was not the greatest month for me; I was still really ill which meant I spent most of my days in bed unable to work or really do anything. This means that there were very few times I actually left my house and if I did it was to go to the doctors. … Continue reading Monthly Outfit Recap – June
I started and ended May away from home; it began in Sydney and ended in Brisbane. May was a bit of a quieter month for me; I spent more time at home doing work and future planning than I did leaving the house. I did more photoshoots this month than I had for a while, … Continue reading Monthly Outfit Recap – May
