Seaside Siren

The Sea Garden Skirt From Banjo & Cake

When this skirt arrived in the post I squealed in delight because it was even more perfect in person than in the pictures.
I love anything with a cute and quirky pattern, and this one just ticked all the right boxes..
Seriously.. octopuses, squid, fish and seahorses, how could I say no?!

Discovering Banjo & Cake on Instagram, I fell in love with there rockabilly inspired range. 
Usually I go for more of the traditional pinup look, however sometimes I like to branch out into edgier styles and I feel like the Sea Garden Skirt works so perfectly. 
Made from silky poly/cotton material with a lining of a soft knit and tulle, which gives this skirt shape with or without a petticoat. 
Designed with a simple invisible zip at the back, and the best surprise ever... pockets!!
From the picture below you can see how chuffed I was to discover those bad boys, I just think every dress and skirt should have pockets!
How adorable is this print...I'm in heaven!!
Ive teamed this gorgeous skirt with a top I bought from Forever New, a simple blue chiffon scarf, belt from Pinup Girl Clothing and Black flats from Target.

The simplicity of the red lipstick and nails create a beautiful contrast amongst all the blue and black, and its such fun look which can be easily dressed up by adding heels.  
These photos were taken by my loving fiancé at the gorgeous local beach in Dudley, NSW. 
Being such perfect weather and such an amazing location we were able to run around and get some amazing shots. 
If you love this skirt, it also comes in a dress, leggings, socks, cardigan and swimwear (which is a personal fav)..

Check out this skirt and much more at

Honour thy Hepburn

 SHOOTING FOR SARSPARILLY- PART 2

 Another gorgeous dress from my shoot for Sarsparilly
The Lady V London Hepburn dress.!!

Im so excited that I finally get to share all these pictures... this dress OMG this dress!

I truly felt like a princess wearing this dress, everything from the colour to the cotton sateen, the cut and silhouette... arghh I can not get enough!
Designed with a full flare skirt, high neckline and seams that mould to your body.
 The Hepburn just screams 1950s sheer elegance 

Worn in these pictures with a long Hell Bunny petticoat, you can see how the fullness at the base of the skirt really brings in the waistline, creating gorgeous shape.. and really, what girl doesn't like to accentuate her curves?  
Another thing I truly love about this dress is that it has a long zip at the back.
I find with some vintage repro dresses they have the side zip, which means I have to put the dress on before I finish doing my hair and makeup (which is a pet hate of mine)
With the Hepburn I simply can step right into the dress and away I go!!

Having seen this dress on women sized between 8-28 and it absolutely suits every shape and size, this dress is designed to sit just below the knees but because Im such a shorty it sits at tea length on me.. and so does every dress I wear haha.


Much Love
