It could have been worse


Wearing Promod tunic, Diva leather cuff and diy feather head dress

Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with feathers? I think that's probably one of the reasons why I have this fascination with the native American head dress. I currently have my eye on this navy feathered cape from Asos.


It would be perfect for summer! I can already imagine what I would wear with it. I hope everybody has a really good week. Mine has just been crazy! At the moment, I just wish I could forget everything that has happened and move on. Life brings it's obstacles and when we fall, we just have to pick ourselves up and start walking again.

PS: Asos has this cape in other colours too. The navy one is the only one that didn't look "bird-like".

Goodbye, San Francisco. I wish I could have stayed more than one night.

An Unpredictable Revolution by Mimco


Unpredictable by its creativity and revolutionary in its style, Mimco's Season 2 2010 collection is not one to disappoint. When they emailed to ask us to showcase a piece from their range and interpret their collection to our wonderful readers, we fell so in love with the range that we couldn't say no. Channelling the tortured elegance of a princess, Coco took to her lens and Amanda to her plumate lashes to capture the romance of an era past.

Every piece in the collection is just as gorgeous as this Spider Tangle Necklace - just have a look at the video at the bottom of this post and you'll see why. (It has Emma Balfour in it; as if the accessories weren't reason enough!) You can shop the collection online at Mimco.

Down that narrow way




Wearing vintage leather anorak, skirt and belt, Mango ruffle lace blouse and boots from The Shoes Collection

Tom and I found this place on one of our random drives. We like driving around to no where. It's fun! I've also had this sudden itch to wear more blouses. Vintage blouses to be exact. Ones with nice ruffles or puffy sleeves and preferably in nice earthy or warm tones. I saw the most beautiful warm pink blouse at the Red Cross vintage store on Rundle street. I would have gotten it right away if not for the price I saw on the tag.

I was just saying to a friend the other day that being stylish would be a lot easier if money wasn't an issue. I know there are such things as op shops, but still, how often do you actually come across something that fits perfectly and that actually blows your mind. Most of the stuff I get from op shops have to be reconstructed or altered. Some of you might disagree or agree with me. But please let me know what you think because I hope I'm not the only odd one here! Haha.

PS: We've got some awesome vintage clothing and shoes stocked on our eBay store now! Don't forget to check out the Steve Madden and Topshop shoes as well as this gorgeous corset.

Dress the way you are





Wearing vintage fur coat and oversized knitted top worn as dress, Sportsgirl scarf and Wittner boots

As scary as these boots look, they are actually quite comfy. I'm quite excited that winter is almost coming to an end here. I can't wait to break out in shorts and sleeveless tops. I will miss the layering though. Going to try and fit in some layering somehow or rather in the summer months. Aahh! Can't wait!
