Forest Fairy Princess

April 7, 2015Leave a comment

The few hours before sunset are called "The Golden Hours" by photographers. It's when the sun is getting ready to set and the light is perfectly golden. It's a great time to shoot photos because the sun isn't harsh on the skin, eyes or background. There are no stark shadows - instead soft shadows make … Continue reading Forest Fairy Princess

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Vintage Style Challenge: the colour edition

January 17, 2015March 12, 20151 Comment

My last outfit post on the Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Vintage Style Challenge was so much fun! I loved creating a look for the club in the Cosmopolitan Resort in Vegas. The outfit I picked reflected a 1920s vibe with modern items. I decided to move away from the stereotypical gloves, fringing and strand of pearls. … Continue reading Rose. Rabbit. Lie.

Vintage Style Challenge: Rose. Rabbit. Lie

January 13, 2015March 5, 20161 Comment

For my 21st birthday I decided to have a Roaring 20s themed Speakeasy party. It involved months of research and planning but it ended up being a fantastic and fun party. When I was researching the 1920s, I obviously started researching fashion and what the "flappers" wore back then. I fell in love with this … Continue reading Vintage Style Challenge: Rose.

Feelin’ Peachy

December 21, 2014January 6, 2015Leave a comment

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. The full skirt style is great for someone like me who wants something that skims over the bum, hips and thighs. It's very … Continue reading Feelin’ Peachy

Coastal Chills

November 16, 2014January 6, 2015Leave a comment

I think I'm cursed. Every time I go to the coast it rains. I live just over 2 hours from Batemans Bay and 3 hrs from Merimbula, both on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It's nice to get a little getaway for the weekend to visit family. But it is nice to … Continue reading Coastal Chills

Vintage Barbie at Vintage Canberra

November 9, 2014November 18, 20141 Comment

On my way to work yesterday I noticed a big sign on the side of the road: It was advertising the Canberra Vintage event at an old hall in the city over this weekend...I was shocked I hadn't heard about this earlier! I decided this was an event I definitely had to attend... After all, … Continue reading Vintage Barbie at Vintage Canberra

Vintage Sunday Lemonade

October 26, 2014November 11, 2014Leave a comment

I've been a bit naughty... I am not supposed to be shopping as I'm trying to use items from my capsule wardrobe. But when I began my shift at Forever New on Saturday I decided I was sick of my white tee and really didn't like how it looked with my lemon coloured midi skirt. … Continue reading Vintage Sunday Lemonade

Flashback to Fall Fashion

October 16, 2014October 27, 2014Leave a comment

We don't call it "fall" in Australia. It's called Autumn. But for the sake of alliteration I decided to refer to this season as fall. Now that I've got that small matter out of the way, I'm going to speak about a photo shoot I did earlier this year. It was an Autumn fashion shoot … Continue reading Flashback to Fall Fashion

Pretty in Party Pink

September 30, 2014October 2, 20142 Comments

Pretty sure I failed on my September closet challenge. I started off ok but eventually I stopped the outfits. My new waitressing job means working late nights and feeling pretty tired in the morning. So I end up not even getting dressed in real clothes. If I don't have to go anywhere then I just … Continue reading Pretty in Party Pink

Fifties Floral Affair

September 29, 2014October 2, 2014Leave a comment

When I saw this dress online, I fell in love with it. It looked like a quintessential fifties housewife dress - the full skirt, the buttons, the classic blue floral print... It's a perfect dress! And it's perfect for spring.   Today I got to dress up in full fifties pin up style with the … Continue reading Fifties Floral Affair

Flashback Friday to a different city, different girl. At this point in my life I was sort of lost and trying to figure out my purpose. I stopped enjoying life and just existed. When this photo was taken I was starting to struggle with a lot of aspects in my life and because it happened gradually, I didn’t realise how much it affected me. Fast forward to 2019 and I’m in a much better position mentally, physically, financially, spiritually... but I’m still grateful for the struggles because it’s made me the person I am today. πŸ’« . . . . . #flashbackfriday #theoldme #liveyourbestlife #manifestdreams #movingforward #positivevibes #positivity #goodvibesonly #happiness #lovinglife #walkyourtruepath #success #expectgreatthings #changeyourlife #makeachange #manifesting #gratitude #styleyourmind
