By pure luck, when I booked our accommodation in Sydney, we ended up not far from the vintage mecca that is Newtown. Along King Street are numerous vintage shops, which equals my idea of perfect retail therapy. And by chance, the first one we visited was absolutely fabulous! The Vintage Drawer is a small shop, […]
So during a recent weekend visit to Lost and Found, I found these…yes, dark brown, almost black vintage leather pants…. I have always wanted a pair, but was never game enough, let alone be able to afford to get some…I have enough trouble with jeans (at least until recently)! Plus the fact I am short…I […]
I have discovered a problem…I love vintage, and as a result have added some gorgeous outfits to what was once a very boring wardrobe. Each morning, I now really enjoy selecting what I am going to wear for the day…unless I am hiding out at home, and then that involves T-shirt and trackie daks… We […]

And last weekend, we finally got to check out the original Shag, located in Chapel St, Windsor, and like the other two […]
Some days make you so glad to be alive, and living in a wonderful city…yesterday was one of them! It started off cloudy and cool…my husband had to work, so I spent the morning catching up on housework, walking the furkids and drafting a few posts. He then called me to say he had finished […]
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 […]
