Blue Blue Sky


After long admiring this beautifully vibrant shirtdress at RAFW last year, I was lucky enough to pick it up at the Gary Bigeni sample sale in Brisbane over the weekend. It has been perfect already for the weather here in Brisbane and I'm looking forward to pairing it with a blazer and ankle boots for winter.

Maddening Cloud

Mania Mania Invocation Necklace

I'm usually only about the statement jewelry, however today this little Mania Mania brass chain mail necklace captured my heart. I'll be wearing this all summer with everything from my cotton sundresses to silk cocktail pieces.

A Way To Fall

I am the proud owner of these Beau Coops booties in the black - seriously the most comfortable heels I've ever worn - thanks to the kids at Violent Green for once again hooking me up!

Within You Without You

My bank balance is a little sad after my visit yesterday to the Gail Sorronda and Friends Studio Sale, however I am now the proud owner of this silver headlights headband. I've been lusting after it since I used it for a photo shoot and am very excited that I was able to get my hands on the last one available!

Alone We Stand Together We Fall Apart

I am really into capes and cape style jackets at the moment so was very excited to find this wool check one at my local op-shop for a bargain price! It will be sure to keep me warm next weekend at Splendour, worn with some wool tights, cute mini dress and lace up boots.

The Modern Age

I bought my first KaPow Wow piece yesterday - a beautiful dramatic black jersey neckpiece from Brisbane's Bessie Head. Looking forward to teaming it with a little white dress and some heeled ankle boots.

Wild World


Today I had the morning off so spent some time in West End meandering around. I went by Boxvintage and did a little modelling stint of the new sunglasses, which you can see on their blog. These are my favorite and are going to be a definite purchase in the near future...Other goodies I found on my travels were a gorgeous cream lace mini dress and jacket and a new Studibaker number to add to my collection! It is very different to my other pieces but equally as stunning, I'm excited to show it off soon.

Sleep Deprivation


Captured looking somewhat unawares by the lovely Lucy Laucht, wearing my new Gail Sorronda headband at work. This piece is the perfect blend of princess and crust punk and I utterly love it.

Back to Basics


These are the most recent of my acquisitions from shopping adventures in the last week or so. Unbelievably I have not owned a pair of black flats which are not boots for almost a year - when in need I've just been borrowing my mum's. These come in maroon and royal blue aswell, in my quest for healthy and painless feet after fracturing my foot earlier this year I am seriously considering buying the two other colors. Really, really comfortable and soft.

Deadly Ponies 'Mr Fill and Zip Twist' Bag at Violent Green

I can't say enough good things about Deadly Ponies. After buying my first of their bags last year from Violent Green I haven't even thought of looking at other bags. Money aside, I could easily own every bag in every color from the current collection. However, I was in need of a new black bag after my well worn and loved uni bag handles broke and this has been the replacement on my mind for months since I first saw the lookbook earlier this year. Thankfully the kids at Violent Green put up with my persistent and borderline desperate phonecalls and requests and I now own this beautiful piece of buttery soft leather. I've now found out that this bag comes not only in brown but black fur.. one of my all time favorite textiles.. Might need to start saving again.

Witchery Gathered Leather Skirt

I have this shape skirt in several vintage incarnations and love it! This one is particularly nice and soft.
