Meeting Dita Von Teese

January 11, 2021November 24, 2020Leave a comment

There's always been that old saying that you should never meet your hero but if given the chance, many of us will try to despite the warning. For me, the person I had always wanted to meet was Dita Von Teese. Very cliche for a pinup girl I know but she was always that icon … Continue reading Meeting Dita Von Teese

Going to a Korean Bathhouse

    Yeah.... she saw my wobbly bits.  So last year, I ended up going to Sydney for two work events but they were about 6 days apart meaning that I had some time to spend doing whatever I wanted. I took this opportunity to just sit, relax and have some very much needed me-time … Continue reading Going to a Korean Bathhouse

Hello darlings! About two weeks ago I returned from a wonderful Sydney trip which also included helping out backstage for Pinup Doll Australia at Chromefest. Although it was a very busy trip, there was still time to do a bit of vintage shopping and I found some absolute gems which I found really exciting! https://youtu.be/68PTmSb3ESk … Continue reading My Sydney Vintage Shopping Haul – October

My Sydney Vintage Shopping Haul

February 13, 2019February 13, 2019Leave a comment

Whenever I travel, I love doing a spot of vintage shopping and I always try to find something that was made in the area. Having recently gone to Sydney, I managed to squeeze in two half days of shopping and I found some pretty amazing things. I have made my first ever YouTube video haul … Continue reading My Sydney Vintage Shopping Haul

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?
