My Birthday Weekend 2021

February 8, 2021February 7, 2021Leave a comment

If you know me well, I'm not a huge birthday person. I don't really know why but I actively try to avoid reminding anyone it's my birthday and try to keep it all very low key and quiet. I see people announce it's their birthday month, week, weekend all the time and I'm normally super … Continue reading My Birthday Weekend 2021

Gift ideas for the Mrs Maisel Obsessed

December 18, 2020December 17, 2020Leave a comment

Even though I've already made a gift giving guide, I thought it might be fun to share and explore more gift ideas but specifically for fans of the Amazon series, the Marvelous Mrs Maisel. This list will hopefully suit all budgets and come from small independent businesses and also the official Maisel brand. Of course … Continue reading Gift ideas for the Mrs Maisel Obsessed

Polka Dot Vintage Markets November 2020

November 16, 2020November 16, 2020Leave a comment

I constantly remind myself how lucky I am to be living in Perth where we are feeling pretty safe and protected from Covid. Although we've gone through lockdown like most people, we are lucky that we haven't had any community transmissions for quite some time. Despite that, we have missed out on many events that … Continue reading Polka Dot Vintage Markets November 2020

Shopping for my True Vintage Wedding Gown

November 6, 2020November 4, 20202 Comments

Let's go back a year or so, to a calmer time when the world didn't feel like it was falling apart. I was a little nervous when I realised I was going to go shopping for my vintage wedding dress. It all started in Perth over a year ago when I went to a few … Continue reading Shopping for my True Vintage Wedding Gown

Buying Fake Vintage from Aliexpress

October 2, 2020March 17, 2021Leave a comment

We don't always learn our lessons the first time do we? Yep, we are back and testing out more 'fake vintage' from online sources and this time it's a 'vintage' suit, from good old Aliexpress. Now I have shopped from Aliexpress before and it's been a bit hit or miss; after my last fake vintage … Continue reading Buying Fake Vintage from Aliexpress

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!

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 💙
