I’ve been resourceful this week and have been making accessories again. In anticipation for Spring (5 days to go!) I’ve been embracing nature and flora and making floral wreaths from some vintage flowers and leaves I bought in the beginning of the year from our local op shop.

This is the outfit I wore to my interview with Di of Clara Fox. My interview will actually be a guest post on Vintage Shops Australia‘s blog, and should be up early this week so stay tuned!

I had a wild one last night at our house party, which actually turned into an enormous night! I’ve never seen so many people in one house before! It was so much fun but I wasn’t feeling the best today, let me tell you!

Here are some shots from the party, I didn’t take many unfortunately, I was a bit too pre-occupied!

I wore my 1930′s lace and chiffon gown.

Show and Tell with Jesse

Posted by dramaofexile in Flowers, Inspiration and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes I really know that Jesse gets me when he finds me treasures like these. I came home the other day to some show and tells, and the following videos have to be some of the most beautiful imagery I’ve seen in a long time! Thankyou so much to my other half for dazzling my eyes once again.

A sample of some very early colour motion picture film. I can’t stop watching this, it’s honestly like a dream!

Loie Fuller dancing Danse Serpentine, recorded in 1896. This video has always had me in entranced, and I’ve been rekindling my love for Loie Fuller recently.

Meanwhile I’ve been a busy little bee with lots of social engagements of late. Lot’s of birthdays, openings, coffee/lunch/dinner dates and we’re having a big house party at our place this weekend with some friend’s bands playing. I’ll have to collate all the party photos into one post after the weekend.

Also, exciting for Jesse, two of his bands have been announced to play Sound Summit next month in Newcastle, Mad Nanna and Asps. Unfortunately I can’t go, I’ll most likely be visiting Brisbane that weekend but anyone around Newcastle should check it out! Heaps of amazing bands also playing.

I’ll leave you with a snap from my good friend Tamara’s birthday dinner on the weekend in Chinatown. Happy Birthday Tamara!

Market Flowers

Posted by dramaofexile in Flowers, Outfit, Personal and tagged with , , , , , , , ,

Today my boyfriend Jesse and I walked the short stroll from our house to the Queen Victoria Markets to do some flora shopping. I thought I would get him to take some awkward photos of my 1960′s inspired outfit in our street as it was such a beautiful day after a week of rain.

I got a bunch of fresh blood red and cream roses and another slightly older bunch of assorted roses which are now hanging upside down in the kitchen drying. Jesse got a fern friend.

I’m wearing from my previous work, Alannah Hill, double collared knit and harlequin tights, thrifted tartan Fletcher Jones kilt, 1960′s brown velvet cropped jacket, 1960′s shoes, felt Notman Durand hat and hat pin from Clara Fox.

Also how gorgeous is this 1930′s footage of the flower markets in Paris? So beautiful.
