As I've just finished sharing with you all my little vintage wedding which took place in November 2020, it's clear to see that I did not wear a vintage dress for the day which was a bit of a shock to many of you. I received a whole load of questions asking what happened to … Continue reading My Vintage Wedding: What Happened to my Vintage Dress?

Vintage inspired TV shows worth a binge

March 1, 2021March 1, 2021Leave a comment

It's that lovely time of year where you are free to relax, indulge and binge watch your favourite tv shows. If you're anything like me, I love a tv show based in the 40's and 50's so I can enjoy the fashion and styling along with hopefully a great storyline, awesome characters and fun moments. … Continue reading Vintage inspired TV shows worth a binge

Meet the Furbaby: Brian

November 13, 2020November 12, 20204 Comments

As I'm on a mini-break post-wedding, I thought I'd share a little bit of a silly post and introduce you to my fur baby, Brian Karnovski Bumstein Pastafazoola, or just Brian for short. She is an absolute spoilt little princess who went from a strong, independent, tortoise-shell kitty to a complete sook and a half. … Continue reading Meet the Furbaby: Brian

Photoshoots and Sexual Assault

August 7, 2020July 27, 20201 Comment

Trigger: Sexual Assault So many people have this idea that being a model is glamorous and beautiful. That you get whisked away to exotic locations, wear beautiful clothes and live the ideal lifestyle. In reality, that's far from the truth for many, myself included. I've been a model for close to ten years and have … Continue reading Photoshoots and Sexual Assault

I have an irrational fear of plugging in a vintage electronic and zapping myself across the room. It's never happened but one day ...
The Betty Draper dress is an iconic vintage dress with quite a following. I've wanted to sew my own for over 6 years and finally made decent version. It's not perfect and I'm keen for another go at it soon.
When your sewing hobby starts becoming a problem...
All my needle felting friends will appreciate this one 🤣 I really wanted to be good at needle felting but it's just not a skill I possess. What's a skill you wish you were good at?
Haters will say this is a filter but you clearly cant handle natural beauty. 🤣 All jokes aside, if filters make you feel better about yourself then use them. I sometimes use them to hide blemishes when my cystic acne flares up not gonna lie. Most of the time i dont bother because im learning to get comfortable sharing my skin as it is. Is it clear? Nope. Does it bother me? Yep. But does it matter at the end of the day what people say about my spots? NOPE! You do you boo!
I've already shared this outfit on my blog but I'm still in absolute love with it! This custom made top and shorts is from @turningheadsbycarolina who are an incredible woman-run small business specialising in tropic vintage outfits 💚 Everything is made by hand custom to you and is fantastic quality. This outfit has my heart 💚 Go check out her things and show her some love ❤️ Full review on this set in my bio link.
Just incase you needed to hear this message 💛
Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
I can find true vintage sewing patterns a bit of a challenge but McCalls 5142 was a dream to sew. I got this pattern from @thevintagepatternshop and used fabric from @minervadotcom which I've had in my stash for a few years.
Probably my favourite dress that I've made this year. I'm still obsessed with this cute retro floral fabric from @spotlightstores and now I need more dresses with collars and sleeves.
