Beautiful Gardens!

Around two to three months ago, I spotted this gorgeous floral dress and purchased it from my local vintage inspired clothing boutique called Cherry Tree Lane Fashion
The price tag was only $60 (Aus) so I knew I had to own this dress and add it to my growing collection of vintage inspired clothing!
Another bonus it fitted me so perfectly, when I tried it on for the first time.
This dress is by Hell Bunny and is called Roslyn  floral dress.

The blue and pink flowers set amongst the greenery on the grey background, is such a beautiful print.  The bodice has a gathered bust, with two cute little bows, above and below the bust line. It also has wide shoulder straps, a hidden back zipper, a wide waist band and the skirt is gathered and is fully lined.
This dress is made from 100% polyester.  It's very light and cool to wear in the Spring/Summer months.  As I wanted this dress to have more of a "1940's feel to it", I choose not to wear a petticoat underneath, plus personally I find this dress style doesn't suit a full petticoat.
Some website like Cats Like Us and Unique Vintage
have this dress currently in stock to purchase.

Accessories Include:
Shoes from Bait Footwear 
Blue hair-flower and pink-glitter hoop earrings from Daisy Jean Floral 
Bracelet was gifted to me.

 

This weeks blog photos were take a few weeks ago, at the most beautiful gardens and private home called Vintage Rose Cottage 

The lovely couple that owns and looks after the gardens and cottage, open their property to the public every Tuesday and the last weekend of the month.  Guests are welcome to view and enjoy the lovely gardens.

Vintage Rose Cottage is located at a rural town in Queensland called Bauple. 

In other news I had a quiet weekend of catching up on some housework and staying at home.

This weekend I plan to go up to Bundaberg, Queensland to see family and catch up with Miss Vera Vamp (Michelle) I haven't seen her in a while, so will be good to catch up again! Hopefully we will be taking blog photos as well.

I've also booked accommodation, flights and car-hire for next year in February, as I want to attend a big rockabilly festival in Ballarat, Victoria called Ballarat Beat.  My Mum and sister are also coming with me so we can all have a little holiday together!

Until next time!

Tea Party!

A few weeks ago I ordered a custom made skirt from an Australian vintage inspired company called Lulu Rocket Retro
This company sell women's clothing, shoes and accessories from well known vintage inspired brand names from both Australia and around the world.
But the lovely owner also custom makes her own vintage inspired dresses and skirts which you can directly order from her website http://lulurocketretro.bigcartel.com/  or facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LuluRocketRetro/
Which is what I did, I had a look at all her photos on her facebook page and choose this lovely tea pot/canister/cup print and ask if she could make this print into a circle/swing skirt for me and here is the end result that I wanted to share with you all!

I just thought this print was so cute and very different from other fabric print's I've seen. I've sent the lovely owner of Lulu Rocket Retro my waist measurements and that I preferred a gathered skirt (easier to iron).  This fabric is custom printed so I had to wait a few weeks until it was ordered and delivered to be custom made for me.
I just love this skirt, it's made out of 100% cotton and has a back zip and button to get in and out of.
I highly recommend ordering yourself something from Lulu Rocket Retro, something that is custom made to your measurement and style and that's unique for you!
I decided to wear my vintage shirt with this skirt and a petticoat underneath for extra shape and structure.

Accessories Include:
Shoes are thrifted
Tea set brooch is from Deer Arrow
Earrings are from Colette by Colette Hayman
Necklace and hair-scarf were both given to me by Lulu Retro Rocket

 These photos were beautifully taken by my Mum at the most gorgeous cottage and gardens called Vintage Rose Cottage
Their gardens and their own home is out of this world amazing, so much to look at, take in and admire!  The lovely owners open their home and gardens every weekend for visitors to come and enjoy. As well as looking around at the gardens and inside their home, you can order yourself something delicious to eat or drink, and sit down and admire the view.
My Mum, sister and I want to go back again real soon, as we had such a lovely few hours there plus  hopefully to take more blog photos as there are stunning area's I didn't get a chance to take a photo in/with.

In other news I have a professional photoshoot with a awesome vintage car tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to!
I have two outfits/themes I'm going to wear and get photographed in.  I hope to share these with you all soon!

Also if you mention that you've read this blog post on Lulu Rocket Retro facebook page, under my blog link the lovely owner will be sharing on her facebook page - you'll received a 10% discount code to order yourself something really lovely for yourself!

Until next time!
