Instagram Updates

You might be thinking this post is pointless if you are already following me on Instagram… well, you’re wrong! I hate writing captions on Instagram and I can’t put in links, so here is a Instagram Updates post where you can click through and get a piece of vintage and vintage-inspired beauty :)

My first pair of new shoes: Sasha-Rose custom pre-order Monica oxfords in purple python. So so beautiful so precious. Sasha-Rose is one of my fave Australian designers who I first fell in love with for her 1940s inspired designs. I also cannot wait for her upcoming collection, which she has promised to show me soon enough!

This is how I would look like if I was an emo. Confession: I was an emo before. Chatting to someone I worked with 5 years ago, I was reminded of how different I was (and how I used to dress) back then. Let’s just say there was a lot of concert t-shirts, skinny jeans, and Converses. And smudged eye liners. One workmate used to say that she could tell what mood I was in depending on how smudged my liner was.

Another pair of new shoes from I Love Vintage. I don’t actually own a pair of red heels, so when I see this pair and the epic carved heels it has I know I must have it! This is an 80s vintage pair and I cannot wait to wear it out. Hopefully will find a reason soon enough! I don’t wear heels often and pride comfort over look so this baby will have to wait for its turn.

As I mentioned in my last post, since no one showed up at the vintage meetup, I have more double passes to give away. I have EIGHT double passes for eight winners and I will pick the winners the end of this week. So please enter (LIKE and COMMENT) here if you want to win! 

I bought myself a fabulous 1930s velvet and rhinestones hat to match my existing 1930s velvet and rhinestones dress. When I saw this hat at Over The Top Vintage, I just knew it was meant to be. I’ve been saving this dress for colder weather, but now it has a matching hat so I must admit I’m rather giddy :)

My friend Nicole at Forgotten Muse Vintage sent me a package containing some vintage sewing patterns and a coat perfect for the autumn! I’ve been really slack with my sewing but I’m working on a dress at the moment and hopefully I’ll get to finish it soon.

Sneak-peek of upcoming outfit post looking casual in my vintage leather overall.
