All my life I have struggled to find jeans that fit my figure…I have a small waist with bigger hips, in other words a typical hour glass shape. I don’t know how many countless pairs I have bought over the years, only to give them away when they get too uncomfortable, and just don’t fit […]

My Friday Five – The Power of Colour!
By Sarah in Fashion, Vintage Tags: Colour, Dress Up 2015, My Friday Five, power of colour, vintage
I have noticed that I have now moved far away from my usual uniform of black, with more black, and embraced colour whenever I can. And thankfully, my love of vintage has opened up my eyes to a world to vibrant colour, and I can’t get enough…..the brighter the better! But I got to thinking…what […]

Located next to the Vegie Bar on popular Brunswick St, Fitzroy area, Sheila Vintage is another vintage shop worth checking out! A large shopfront has always got some fabulous displays, giving a hint to what enticing vintage treasures you might find inside! We have been in there once before, but didn’t get a very friendly […]
Yes, I have a tattoo!
By Sarah in Fashion, General 7 Comments Tags: tattoo
There…I have said it…are you surprised? And it is a reasonably large tattoo, located on my lower back….yep, a tramp stamp…and I have no regrets…none! Don’t believe me? You wouldn’t be the only one…many of our friends thought it was just a temporary one, and that it would disappear. But it is still there…and here’s […]

I am developing a rather full wardrobe with my obsession with vintage, which means I sometimes get overwhelmed by what outfit to put on…and that age old cry comes into my head…I have nothing to wear!! Which of course is rubbish as I have actually two wardrobes that are full of gorgeous things…granted some are […]

If you are after relatively cheap, funky threads, both vintage and new…then a visit to Out of the Closet (or OTC for short) is a must! Although there is an outlet in Fitzroy, we prefer the city one…located down in a basement opposite Flinders Street Station. Entry is via a staircase…I am not sure if […]
My Friday Five – Style Rules to Break

For most of my life, I have been guilty of trying to follow trends…what others in the media and fashion industry decided was the latest look. But almost two years ago, I finally found my own style, and I also found the confidence to be unique! My style may not be to everyone’s taste, and […]
The Magic of the Waist Belt!

I used to hate belts…they never would sit right, and they were uncomfortable. I didn’t wear any belts for years, unless it was a dress that came with a belt. And then I discovered vintage, and realised that I should stop trying to fit into clothes that were not made for my shape, and embrace […]
