Insta-updates and Announcement

image

Autumn is here, and just before summer ended I did a 50s photoshoot with an amazing team and here is the end result with the model wearing The Vintage Drawer floral dress.

One of the most beautiful dress I’ve seen. As you might know, autumn in Sydney is really temperamental. This is one of the most beautiful days captured by my mobile.

The boyfriend’s family is visiting from the UK, bringing us a whole suitcase of food.

A visit to Nina’s Vintage Closet where I contemplated this beautiful umbrella as it was pouring down outside (again with the temperamental weather!)

Nina gifted me this beautiful circle skirt that she deemed is too small to sell. I don’t blame her, I had to reposition the waist band because it literally pinched my skin as I pulled the zipper up. Ouch!

Some beauties I picked up at Jervis Bay as I holidayed with the boyfriend and family. I don’t know if these earrings are vintage, but they are screw-back. Any suggestion?

My happy face on the beautiful weekend in Jervis Bay.

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,

NoraFinds

Today I’m going to share with you images from a shoot I did with photographer Gin Francis. I wanted to do a 1940s streetstyle images where posing is minimal, and with Gin’s background in portraitures we could focus on the whole look and get a natural feel. We did the shoot in The Rocks on a Sunday when it was fully packed with tourists, but we managed to stay away from the crowd and get some good shots. Isn’t Gin amazing? :) I gotta say that the second picture is my fave. It makes me think of a vintage shot of a lady coming out of the train station, stopping to pose for a streetstyle photographer. A 1940s Sartorialist in a way. Wouldn’t that be amazing..

We’ve already planned another shoot so let me know what you think and send us a lot of love before the next shoot so I will feel more confident about posing! :) Anyway, what’s your weekend plan? I’m trying to do some sewing, and it seems like it’s going to be my most complicated project to date, so wish me luck!
