There was something niggling at the back of my mind when I pulled out this blouse and pinny from my closet but I simply couldn’t put my finger on it. It was only while editing the photos later that I realised that I had ended up wearing something very similar to this summer 2012 outfit by Calivintage!

I was contacted by the team at Dear Kate a while ago about reviewing some of their lingerie. Now, I’ve written before how I don’t wear bras anymore, but I do love pretty lingerie that doesn’t hurt my boobs!

I kicked off my new year with the flu from hell, which then went on to spawn a host of illnesses in its wake, but I’m finally back on my feet! It’s still cold and wintry here, and I’ve been dreaming of warmer shades and winter florals.

My own Christmas is promising to be rather sparse and uneventful, but I’m comforting myself with hearty, wintry food, long conversations with loved ones who are too far away to celebrate with me otherwise, and dressing up.

This kind of complete, unquestioning sartorial love is rare for me – one of the drawbacks of having a mostly esoteric style – but when it happens, it’s beautiful and perfect like a teenage crush.

[Note: This is a sponsored post, but the opinions contained herein are all mine.] As far as trends are concerned, I couldn’t be less fussed. My style pretty much came together three years ago, and although there have been gradual evolutionary shifts since then, I still wear most things I’ve bought in the past 4 years. The major

Although I have never personally consumed any of the Little House on the Prairie franchise, I was peripherally aware of it as a child obsessed with early century North American girl-themed literature. I made my way through the What Katy Did books and Pollyanna, the less popular Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Understood Betsy, and

I finally got my wardrobe back from the Indian customs. Despite pocketing a bribe of $100 or so, they stole several things including almost all my jewellery (none of it precious), my doctor bag and a shearling aviator. There’s probably more stuff missing which I will discover the absence of as I organize everything into

Does anyone else have one of those days when you pretty much hate every single outfit photo you’ve taken but redoing everything is way too much of a hassle, so you post them anyway? This is what happened with these. It was my first time shooting on my own with a tripod and since I
