Hats Off to Mimi

I'm definitely getting this movie. Mimi is an inspiration! Just check out the trailer to the doco about this incredible woman who is still dancing, acting and flirting her way through her nineties:).

The Big Wave

I've had my Big Wave leggings for a while now, but I have been getting so much wear out of my Galaxy leggings that I've only just grabbed them off the shelf.

I guess it was the arrival of this beautiful vintage silk kimono from the fabulous etsy seller toottootsie, which made me reach for them - the kimono seemed to call out for James Lillis's Black Milk leggings that are based on Katsushika Hokusai's beautiful painting:

The Great Wave leggings worn with Doc Martens: ebay; silk kimono: etsy; 1950s feather headband: etsy; ASOS tank (that I seem to be wearing out!).

Here I've switched the kimono for a beautiful, soft vintage fur cape from the Aid for the Blind thrift shop in Wynnum here in Brisbane.

Style Like Them

I love Elisa's style blog Style Like U - when I wonder how many more "onesies", drapey tunics and ugly shoes I can bear, this site gives me the reassurance I need that there are so many people out there doin' it for themselves.
Daliah seems such a sweetie and loves adding a bit of strangeness to every outfit that makes me smile:).
