Talkin' about that little Lady

Lately I've got housewife on the brain. Might be all those hours of baking and knitting I've been doing and episodes of Bewitched I've been watching..
Anyway, I've become obsessed with all things ladylike, pin-uppy and vintage..
For example:


The Miss Blondie shoe by Aussie label Peeptoe. I recently met the brains behind the label, Nikki Hager and let me tell you. She is a babe. A lovely, inspirational babe.
(P.S these shoes are on sale right now. Of course. When I have no money at all. It kills me.)

Pin-up artist Gil Elvgren. Fun, cheeky paintings that make me wish i was a little bit more artistic.

Cute leopard trimmed fitted dress by www.daddyos.com
Also, epic bride of frankenstein-esque hair on the model! crazeh.


Gorgeous 'Jannah' dress by local label Pinup by Sophie (www.pinupbysophie.com.au) (Also comes in red and black, reowww!)

I've also been watching a few movies of late that have fuelled my lady-longings. 'Cadillac Records' and 'Nine'...


Beyonce as Etta James in Cadillac Records


Penelope Cruz as burlesque babe Carla in Nine.
(you know it's quite difficult to find good film stills, maybe i should make a site chronicling the outfits in movies..?)

All I want, right this second, is to be taken on a date where i can dress up in a beautiful vintage outfit and killer heels. Doesn't even have to be anywhere nice. I'd settle for a cheap cafe in an alleyway.
I think this is what happens when you spend too much time indoors...

Cosmopolitan

My first ever national magazine shoot. Hooray!
one day i will own a magnificent camera.
it will live on a strap around my neck and i will never have to take photos on my iphone again.
and then i will figure out how to edit pictures better than hipstamatic does.
yep. one day i'll have it all figured out.
