I love springtime: the cherry blossoms bloom, the weather warms up and the days start to get longer. It makes me feel like I am coming out of hibernation and that I'm ready for fun. I get excited to go out and often start planning more things to do. One of those things is brunch. … Continue reading Springtime Roses and Denim
There's plenty of cute floral dresses online or in stores today. I am definitely a fan of buying vintage or retro clothing items from chain stores as you can easily get something in the size that fits properly.

Since I have moved to Melbourne, I've really noticed that I don't have my photographer (aka my sister) around to help me with photos for my blog.

Tartan print is back with a bang! Maybe it's because of hipsters with the casual cool look? Or maybe it's just because it's so damn easy to style? Either way, I love it and glad that there are plenty of tartan, plaid, flannelette and check prints around this season. The trick to wearing any one … Continue reading Casual Weekend Tartan
I had lots of fun doing my photo shoot in Vintage Barbie's signature outfit. Even though it was freezing cold outside and the wind didn't always agree with my clothing or hair, it was still nice to get out and do a shoot in a dress I have loved since I first saw it. I … Continue reading Step Back in Time: Black and White Barbie Girl
The midi skirts have been such a big trend this year. And I have been loving this trend! Midi skirts are so versatile and there's so many fantastic styles and prints available.
