this is amazing! what a style inspiration, i've always loved the 1920s and 30s and always tried to dress that way but it's difficult to stay in the mindset of a particular era forever... and since i'm pathologically lazy i just moved on after a while of not really trying. But i do have a cloche hat that i love and try and wear whenever it gets cold enough to wear woolen hats in sydney (not that often). great picture, love all the pastels.
hrose- I just love that this is the way she dresses on an "ordinary" day- it wasn't as if she was going to anything special or was at an event. I suspect she was on her lunch break....I really like her rope beaded necklace as well- so elegant and it will never, ever date. I wonder if she was wearing vintage or whether she just made it look vintagey. Ha Ha re Sydney: my friend has been texting me saying it is freezing...it was 14degrees!! I was looking at some photos of Sydney the other day...made me feel VERY HOMESICK. Luckily some of my peeps are coming over in the next couple of months so I will get my Sydney fix vicariously through them :)
June: Portugal as a travel destination; Grilled fish in the sun (I hope!) followed by pastel de nata(s) with strong coffee; Lattes at The Monocle Coffee Shop, London; Inspired by a wonderful tarte tatin I had in Australia, I am attempting this recipe for a suitably sticky and caramely fine apple tart this month; Rory Beca Keala front panel dress (a super easy tunic dress to throw on after a day spent at the beach. Team with gladiator sandals for a casual look or heels to dress it up); Rosamosario Lovers En Space striped bikini (frills for grown-up girls); Free People washed cord overalls (love the more tailored style of these overalls....perfect if you don't like the relaxed fit overalls); Citizens of Humanity Anja Maxi skirt; Christopher Kane floral-print hooded sweatshirt (love the print....and the hood gives it an edge); Soludos classic striped espadrilles (holiday wear! So pretty with sunkissed skin and lovely white dress) or try the more luxurious option in these Valentino lace espadrilles (beautiful); Topshop Moto vintage midi denim dress; Thakoon pleated poplin shirt dress (so pretty and fresh); Topshop oversized crop sweater (love the pretty spearmint colour); Reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson; Currently Burning: Diptyque Roses candle (I have the mini version of this and it is so beautiful).
I am an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London;
I take a thousand photographs every day - some in my head, some with my camera;
I can't imagine doing anything else with my life- I am totally and utterly in love with my camera and with the people and things I photograph
