Photographs by Gin Francis.

Another photoshoot I did with photographer Gin Francis. This is the second shoot in the trilogy we’re planning, and hopefully this look is a fresh difference from the last one. After discussing the possibility of bad weather, we decided to move the shoot to Queen Victoria Building and Hyde Park if the weather permitted.

I picked a 1950s day look, wearing some of these earth-colored pieces for the first time! I thought I would channel a bit of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, creating a casual but still graceful look! What do you think? Have I succeeded? This top is from Topshop, hence preventing me from wearing the appropriate bullet bra for the genuine look, but I don’t think it looks that bad. What do you think?

Anyway, the program for the Love Vintage Show March 15-17 Sydney (Hordern Pavilion) is now out and I will be there with the Old Hat group on the opening night to greet you all! We will be dressed in our best vintage and big smiles! I am still recruiting more people to join us for the opening night, so if you’re a vintage lover wanting to wear your best vintage between 1920s-1950s for Friday March 15th email me at mail@norafinds.com with your details ASAP!

And don’t forget I still have double passes for you to win so you can still come and visit one of the best vintage fairs in Australia! Enter here (competition ends this weekend)

Love,

Monaco Royal Wedding (+ Naomi Campbell’s Epaulette Dress)

How beautiful is Princess Charlene at her wedding? Despite all the complications around her wedding (you surely have seen it all over the media) I think she looked so graceful! People have been speculating whether she would look as good as the one and only Grace Kelly, and I gotta say that Grace Kelly is still winning.

I think you’d have to agree with me on this one?

Anyway, did you see what Naomi Campbell wore to the reception? She broke the most important rule for the guests: DON’T WEAR WHITE! But she did look great! I’m loving the epaulette dress!

So you can see that she’s breaking all the rules of being a good guest with the white dress, the plunging neckline, the cutout waist, but oh she does look stunning! Now, felicitas, do you reckon feather epaulettes are wearable for daily fashionistas? Or do you actually have to be Naomi Campbell to pull it off? Can you wear it to your sister’s wedding or does she have to marry a prince and have a royal wedding first?

Anyway, I’m loving the selection of epaulettes on Etsy! I once saw them on Asos, but they’re not available anymore! Oh well!
