Are You Mad About Mad Men? I confess; I have never actually seen Mad Men (though I don’t own a TV, so at least I have an excuse!) There is one fact I can’t deny though; Joan Holloway has style! The delightful Dashfield Vintage was kind enough to send me a beautiful 1960s wiggle dress. It [...]
Slippery Sidewalks! Today we braved the chilly weather to enjoy the last of the snow. It had mostly melted into a sludgy mess; but it was still a treat to have any left at all! My shoes didn’t have grips, so it was an afternoon of avoiding icy patches – and trying not to slip [...]
A White Winter Finally; it snowed! I have been crossing my fingers for weeks that Christchurch would snow this winter. It came true at eleven o’clock last night. I had my nose pressed up against the window before bedtime, and at six o’clock the next morning I was fully dressed and ready for a winter frolic! [...]
Heidi Today I plaited my hair up into Heidi braids in preparation of a park visit. As per usual, I chose to go bare legged – it really was cold, I swear! We braved the chilly weather and spent our time doing one of my favourite activies; watching ducks! I sure feel grateful that I [...]
Clothing Craft At The Weekend! Weeks ago I attempted sewing some quite heavy fabrics. The end result was, you guessed it; a broken needle! Yesterday I finally made it to a local craft store in search of a replacement. While scouting the needle section, I stumbled upon something even better; a selection of bows! Rather [...]
A Day At The Park I bought this 1970s blouse several weeks ago, and finally thought today was the perfect time to wear it! It has a darling white daisy print, and excessively cuffed wrist detailing. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and I was able to bare my legs in a pair [...]
Prepare To Plait Sometimes I wake up with simply no idea what to do with my hair. It is an awful feeling when combined with being in a rush, and it is even worse when I leave the house completely dissatisfied at my hairs behaviour! To save you any hair troubles, I thought I would start the [...]
A Car Named Beatrix Yesterday I was treated to an afternoon of driving in the most amazing vintage car. It belongs to my friend, Alex, who has affectionately named it ‘Beatrix.’ Beatrix is a vintage Triumph Herald, and is the perfect vehicle for a warm winter’s day. She has gorgeous floral seat covers, and even [...]
Red, White, and Blue I must have been feeling inspired today! I spent the morning reading some of my favourite blogs before changing into a vintage blue and white dress, with a splash of red lipstick of course! We explored a local park, crossing our fingers that there would be Americans nearby who would set [...]
I Have Pastel Hair! I could resist the temptation no longer; I now have pastel hair! I have had an incredible amount of hair angst lately, and decided I had to either put in some colour or I would chop it into a bob. I love my new lavender locks; it is wonderful to have [...]
