Vintage Denim for a Modern Girl

September 1, 2019September 5, 20193 Comments

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. I am slowly training my boyfriend in the art of blog photography, but he has only just learnt that you need to take more than three photos... The … Continue reading Vintage Denim for a Modern Girl

Pin-up Pageant Preparation

July 21, 2019July 21, 20192 Comments

Those who know me, and those who have read this blog, know that I love the vintage, retro and pinup styles. Unfortunately, being a lawyer means that I canโ€™t wear this style all the time. So it is often saved for the weekend instead. But sometimes I donโ€™t have anywhere to go and I just … Continue reading Pin-up Pageant Preparation

Mystic Rose in Autumn Leaves

July 23, 2017July 23, 20171 Comment

I love wearing modern clothes that have a vintage feel to them. One brand I love to wear that has a vintage feel to it is Review Australia. I started buying clothes from Review only a short while ago - partly because I couldn't afford it until recently, and also because I didn't realise the … Continue reading Mystic Rose in Autumn Leaves

Summer Days & Cool Breeze

February 5, 2017March 13, 2017Leave a comment

It's been a scorcher of a summer in Australia this year. Apparently January 2017 was one of the hottest January's on record with plenty of days over 35 degrees. Sometimes it's hard to stay fashionable when it's so hot outside... My go to summer outfit is definitely a playsuit. You get the comfortable practicality of … Continue reading Summer Days & Cool Breeze

Spring Vintage from Landspeed Records

October 30, 2016October 30, 20165 Comments

It seems that affordable and vintage are mutually exclusive... I've been searching for pretty vintage finds for a while, but often I have to settle with vintage inspired clothing. Then I remembered that the somewhat vintage itself store of Landspeed Records stocks some excellent threats. There's a great selection of clothing at the back of … Continue reading Spring Vintage from Landspeed Records

Stepping Back in Time to a Casablanca Ball

September 24, 2016September 25, 20161 Comment

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't shy away from a theme - I'll take any excuse to get dressed up! And I definitely love any period theme, especially because it's super easy to grab something out of my every day wardrobe to wear. Earlier this year I went to the ACT Young Lawyers … Continue reading Stepping Back in Time to a Casablanca Ball

Lilac Modern Vintage

August 21, 2016August 15, 2016Leave a comment

Circle skirts were all the rage in the early fifties. Whenever you think of clothes from the fifties, you would often think of circle skirts. And I love that this particular style has come back into fashion in our modern age! I have many circle skirts in my wardrobe, and the collection keeps growing! They … Continue reading Lilac Modern Vintage

Polka Dots and Wine Tasting

January 31, 2016March 7, 20162 Comments

Back in October 2015, went on a wine tour with some of the people in my office. It was lots of fun and I got to meet lots of people in my field of work. Like many other events, I spent a lot of time planning my outfit. I jumped on to Pinterest for some … Continue reading Polka Dots and Wine Tasting

Chasing Kate for Christmas Day

First off, I just wanted to say a big MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my lovely readers and followers. I hope your Christmas was filled with joy, laughter and fun! I definitely had a fun (and busy) Christmas this year. It was a big Christmas at my parents place on the Sapphire Coast with lots of … Continue reading Chasing Kate for Christmas Day

Black Friday

October 18, 2015November 1, 20151 Comment

I bought this dress off eBay for work, and I have since realised it is so versatile. Every woman should have a black work dress that can be worn for other events as well, such as dinners and special events. The thing I love about this dress is that it's a little bit vintage. The … Continue reading Black Friday

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 didnโ€™t realise how much it affected me. Fast forward to 2019 and Iโ€™m in a much better position mentally, physically, financially, spiritually... but Iโ€™m still grateful for the struggles because itโ€™s made me the person I am today. ๐Ÿ’ซ . . . . . #flashbackfriday #theoldme #liveyourbestlife #manifestdreams #movingforward #positivevibes #positivity #goodvibesonly #happiness #lovinglife #walkyourtruepath #success #expectgreatthings #changeyourlife #makeachange #manifesting #gratitude #styleyourmind
