Etsy outfit: 1940/50s summer

As you may have noticed lately I have been quite interested in 1940s fashion. This is surprising since I have always been more into 60s and 70s vintage which requires much less effort to pull off ( I am in awe of anyone who does their hair in pin-curls everyday!) and blends into modern day fashions much more, however as I was searching for wartime fashion pictures one day I realised how simple, yet beautiful and glamorous 1940s fashions were. I'm guessing this will be just another one of my "phases" as I always seem to go through "phases" in different eras of vintage fashion, but it's nice to mix it up a bit I reckon.

1950s Bomshell Lolita Play Top

40s WWII USO Military Print Tap Shorts

40s Peep-toe Braided Cork Platform

(These are so fantastic!!!!)

Hope you're having a great week so far!

Sunday inspiration

Today the winter sunshine is making me happy.

I love you by the wild one featuring chain bracelets

1. I am in love with the jeans and sneakers look at the moment.

2. Red, the greatest colour in the world in my opinion.

3. Grace Coddington on the cover of Vogue 1962. Ever since I saw The September issue I have loved this woman because she seems very down to earth dispite working for US Vogue, not not snobbish or model-like at all.

4. No-pants Ringo. How I wish I was these ladies.

Happy Sunday!

Tomboy - Tomgirl

Todays outfit is first and formost warm and comfy!

As you've probably guessed I am very fond of these red jeans and I've only had these shoes for about two weeks but I've found I can wear them with almost anything - so I have been! haha I love them. They are like a cross between King Louis & pirate shoes!! Which is why they are girly but tomboy at the same time - sorry I know my outfit analogys are very strange!!

Outfit: jeans & shoes thrifted, cardi is "fake" vintage, scarf and were socks gifts

And cos The Clash rock jeans to max & would have to be one of my fav tomboy style & music icons here's a song for your Sunday night....

Back to our old friend Red...

Went out for dinner last night to Moroccan Soup Bar, St Georges Rd Fitzroy. It was yummm. This is the outfit I wore. I changed about four times before I left the house in the morning! Nothing seemed right, until I put this baby on. It has been locked away in a drawer for about six months - this is the first time I have worn it. But I am now in love!

It has tiny white polka dots over it and these beautiful frills on the collar and cuffs though, unfortunately these photos don't do it justice.

Hope your having a great week.

Red and Black

This is what I wore today, one of the tartan skirts I blogged about a couple of weeks ago.

It was pretty fun to wear. Very swishy and short and.....swishy!

Red is also my favourite colour and I always feel good in it!

Outfit: T-shirt and boots thrifted, skirt vintage, necklace (is my mums!), George Harrison badge made.

Have a nice Thursday.

I have decided to make this a regular segment cause I just love browsing etsy too much.

This week is a sweet little nautical set...

nautical collars like this never seem to go out of fashion;

I seem to be developing a bit of a fetish for vintage clasp handbags like this, they are very elegant,

and finally these little beauties!

The holly and the ivy

dress, boots & cardi thrifted, brooch was a gift from little sis <3

Have a dotty xmas by the wild one featuring a miu miu dress

Had a nice quiet day eating homemade veganified recipes & generally just being a blob. 

It was nice to have an excuse to wear lots of red again. 

Hope your's was swell too!
