Bowerbird update and beautiful retro inspired swimwear!

It's been a while since I posted anything because things have been so hectic.

So many things have changed recently. The big news is that the lovely Kim from Vintage on Bay has taken over Bowerbird Vintage now and has the site looking amazing with some truly gorgeous vintage dresses, party frocks, hats and accessories. You must visit!

Kim will also take over the blogging duties soon to discuss all things vintage. I'll make the occasional guess appearance :)


Another great retro inspired site you must check out is Betty Diamond. Betty Diamond designer, Helen Hooper creates the most beautiful retro inspired swimwear. The material and the halter neck, boy leg styles are simply so flattering and the best part is they suit the womanly figure perfectly. It's so hard to find gorgeous, plus sized swimsuits.

Well done Helen. We Love!

Beautiful online store at Vintage on Bay

This store has some of the most wonderful vintage dresses.

Vintage Inspiration

I know she's everywhere these days and cited as just about every fashion editor, blogger and clothes crazy girls inspiration, but I really love Alexa Chung's style. Of course it helps to have an exquisite face, whip thin body and amazingly long legs - She can basically wear whatever she likes and still look gorgeous and completely fashion forward (to women anyway, my male friends think she might benefit from a good feed)

She does do vintage spendidly and has a knack for the old/new mashup like no-one else. I love her penchant for Peter-pan collars and MaryJane's and some of the vintage dresses she has whipped out this year at various photo ops have been seriously fabulous. Let's have a looky:

Vogue Australia

You simply must check out the amazing kaleidoscope of colour madness that is March Vogue. A little crazy...A little vintage circa 1970's and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
We adore!
