15 Favourite outfits of 2015!

2015 was a great year for further developing my style, I have incorporated different eras into my look after admiring them for so long. I was going to post my ten favourite looks but decided to go for fifteen.

Pastel Pink Hair and a Christmas Skirt Made by Me!

Pastel pink hair and a skirt made by me! It's Christmas Eve today and I am talking about this festive outfit that I wore a couple of days ago.

Birthday Barbeque

It was my 24th birthday a couple of days ago. I was able to get some quick photos of my birthday outfit as we were cooking on the BBQ and I spent most of the time laughing. 

Mischief Made

Cardigans and capri pants are winning combination and I love the cute embroidery on this one by Mischief Made!

Feeling Festive

The tree is up, I have been stringing lights around the house and I have almost finished my Christmas shopping... So here are a couple of festive outfits as I can't help but dress for Christmas each year! 

Round the Twist

Culottes, a cute top, a jelly tote bag and the perfect brooch made for a great day out last weekend.

Finger Waves and a Fringed 20's Dress!

It's no secret that I loveeeeeeee the 1920's and absolutely adore the fashion from this decade - I'm super excited to be blogging this fabulous fringed dress by Unique Vintage!

By the Sea + Win this Dress!

This nautical dress by Australian based brand Elise Design is absolutely perfect and you could win one for yourself!

Stripes and Polka Dots

I am featuring more Sirens Swimwear from the new range on the blog today and one of them includes the bikini that I decided to keep from the Ship the Shop program.

Black Friday Sales

A quick blog post for the Black Friday sales including discount codes for some of my favourite brands and stores.

Sea Garden

This simple but very fun sea creature themed skirt by Banjo & Cake is going to be perfect to wear throughout summer - I couldn't help but wear it out to the beach straight away!

A Statement Necklace, Miz Mooz and a Blue Summer Dress!

I've had this dress on my mannequin for a good few weeks and I have been thinking about how I would style it... I just love how this look came together in the end and I want to wear it over and over again. I am also featuring this fabulous necklace by Totally Jewel and some gorgeous summer shoes by Miz Mooz.

Bright and Beautiful

When I found out that Collectif was releasing a new line dedicated to 60s and 70s fashion I was beyond excited! I will be featuring a few pieces from the Bright and Beautiful collection on the blog and will be kicking it off with this amazing coat.

Snow Leopard

Here is another post about the new Sirens Swimwear range and today I am featuring this fabulous halter swimsuit with a fabulous snow leopard print! I felt like I was channelling some Bettie Page vibes when these photos were taken a few weeks ago.

Seafarer

I have a lot of nautical themed clothing but lack nautical brooches so I have now happily added this Erstwilder Seafarer brooch to my nautical collection. I also have a photo of four new release brooches at the end of this post!

Orange | AVA Design

Earlier this year I blogged about two dresses by Perth based brand AVA Design and I have been very excited to share this dress from the current range.

Happy Halloween!

 This was a last minute outfit as I just wanted to dress for Halloween... I already had the darker lips on so I searched for the witches hat in the garage and popped on this fabulous dress!

Chromefest and Classic Cars

I had such a busy weekend as I attended Chromefest both Saturday and Sunday, usually I just go for one day to rockabilly festivals, however, this year was quite special. 

Ship the Shop with Sirens Swimwear

Sirens Swimwear is such a fantastic brand here in Australia and I am excited to be collaborating with them again and talking about Ship the Shop!

Florals for Spring

Florals may not be Groundbreaking for spring as Miranda States in the Devil Wears Prada, though they are always a winner in my book!

Pin Curls and Miss Ruby Rabbit Setting Spray!

I was recently sent setting spray by Miss Ruby Rabbit to review on the blog and after trying it 4 or 5 times now I am pleased with the results...

The Perfect Little Black Dress

 I received this wonderful dress a while ago now and was waiting to wear it until I had the perfect accessories to go with it.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who's Wearing the Most Gingham of them All | ErstWilder

A long blog title and an equally long blog post today... Pink and blue, oh how I love both! 

A Wooden Watch and a Bright 50s Dress | JORD

I always feel like I am missing something when I don't have my watch on my wrist and after my previous watch of many years gave up this Wood Watch by JORD has been amazing and I received it at the perfect time.

Mermaid | Totally Jewel

I love all things beach related, these Totally Jewel mermaid inspired pieces are just so perfectly glam and they definitely are a great statement piece.

Siren Suit and Fifi as a Brooch | Erstwilder

I just love when an outfit comes together... I have been waiting for the perfect accessory to pair with this jumpsuit (which features a doggy print) and this Erstwilder brooch could not be more perfect!

Anchors Away + A New Look and Domain!

 A domain and a new look to the blog + another nautical outfit! I am quite excited about all of this...

Pink Flamingos on a Bicycle

Here is another post from my visit to the QT Hotel on the Gold Coast and another very pink themed outfit...

Roses | Angie Lu

The weather has been so beautiful lately and the flowers have continued to bloom. This Angie Lu dress really captures spring and my ever growing love for 60s and mod fashion...

Tropical Blue

This wonderful classic car is located at the QT Gold Coast, so of course I had to get photos last weekend during my visit...

Angie Lu

Melbourne based brand Angie Lu has just launched their Factory Girl collection and I was kindly sent a couple of dresses to feature on the blog. Check out the stunning Lookbook! 

Blue Roses and Wattle

Spring has sprung and wherever I look I can see vibrant yellow wattle... I love yellow and blue together so I could not resist the blue roses with wattle for my first spring themed outfit post of the year.

1926

I have been searching for this Collectif knitted dress for quite a while and was very excited to find it recently! I wanted to wear it at least once before Spring and that is what I did, it is going to be the perfect dress for next Autumn/Winter.

Rainy Days in Pink

With the rain that we had earlier in the week I needed an outfit to brighten up the gloomy weather and I couldn't help but pair my coat and gingham pants together.

Sunshine and Plaid

On Monday I celebrated my anniversary with Max, we had a lovely meal by the the water and went for a walk afterwards.

A Mod Dress and a Bright Coat

Dress - Pop Boutique

Coat - Target

Starlet Fever

Starlet Fever is a fabulous and relatively new brand to the vintage scene. I was kindly sent this amazing 100% silk gown and was impressed by the quality and workmanship of this Australian made garment. 

Vivid Dreams in Starry Boutique

Sometimes I love to just throw on a cardigan or t-shirt and tuck it into a great skirt... It's quick, easy and a sophisticated look. I have been so busy the last fortnight that it is a great way to bring some instant glamour when short for time. 

Room Tour | Sewing/Wardrobe/Office

This is a long overdue post... Welcome to my all-in-one sewing room, dress room and office! I spend a lot of my time making garments, writing my blog posts + online shopping and planning my outfits! 

The Megan | Voodoo Vixen

Turquoise is one of my favourite colours and is also my birthstone so the Megan cardigan is a perfect match! I couldn't help but draw focus to this beautiful cardigan by wearing it with my trusty cigarette pants and surprisingly comfortable heels! 

Photoshoot | Elise Design

In May I was lucky enough to be part of the Elise Design Autumn/Winter shoot! Last year I worked with Thu and the Elise Design team in their Spring bash fashion show, so it was very exciting to be working with wonderful people and beautiful clothes again. Elise Design stores are located in Newtown (Sydney) and Melbourne... You can visit the online store too (yay)!

This is quite a photo heavy post, though I narrowed it down to my favourite shots and outfits of the day. All photos are by the wonderful Lily Zdilar who was not only a fantastic photographer but also a pleasure to work with.

1940s Floral | Karina Dresses

Yesterday morning was spent walking the dogs, picking up some shopping and taking this gorgeous dress out for a spin! 

Anchors and Sunny Winter Days | Voodoo Vixen

Living by various beaches and waterfronts with yacht clubs seems to make me naturally drawn to all things nautical and tropical... And the Joni dress by Voodoo Vixen is a match made in heaven!

Happy Valley

These photos were taken a while ago now and I keep forgetting to post them! It was a lovely sunny day and a perfect opportunity to wear this dress, I absolutely love Bernie's landscape prints.

Lady in Green

This 1940s inspired dress is such a timeless design, I adore the colour and the flattering fit. I have worn it all season round as the fabric light but I seem to associate this look and cut with Winter.

Kayla in a Coat

I bought this amazing coat by Collectif Clothing a few months ago and have been so excited to wear it. The weather has been really cold lately in Sydney so it has been great to be able to wear it, I couldn't help but wear these fluffy pink ear muffs with it. 

Mod Girl

Yesterday I wore this fabulous mod dress and have absolutely fallen in love with the mod look. 

Cake Bake and Sweets Show 2015

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Cake Bake and Sweets Show at Olympic Park in Sydney with Renee Ribbons. 

Polka Dots and Dogs

I enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the park with Renee Ribbons and my dogs on Wednesday... We unintentionally matched with white polka dots too!

Nautical Stripes and Sailor Pants

I purchased this fabulous outfit over a month ago now and have been waiting to wear it out! Today was a perfect Winter's day by the waterfront, there was a slight cool breeze with lots of beautiful warm sun. The perfect winter balance.
