Daily Outfit- Putting up the tree!

Saturday I got up nice and early and Sam stayed in bed with a stomach bug I had during the week- poor fella!
He eventually got up and we went out to the Central Markets. After we came home, I made brownies and decorated our Christmas tree while he took a nap. Here is what I wore...

1950's Nylor blouse- gift from friend

Earrings- gift

Close up of the shirt, earrings and my terrible roots!!

Move over Moxie Minx- Powderpuff Boutique's in town!

I have been soo busy the last few weeks, I just haven't had time to do a decent post on anything! Only 10 days til our wedding, so things are a little busy at the moment.

Any way, I just wanted to take a moment to tell all my gorgeous followers, and any other lovely people who are stopping by this little ol' blog, about my friends Paula-Jane's clothing lable. PJ is not only a dressmaker extrodinnare, but a shimmying go-go dancer, full time mum to her gorgeous austistic 4 year old son, Rocket, and a fabulous lady all round! I don't know how or where she gets her energy and enthusiasm from, but she has bucket loads of it, and it makes me jealous! ; )

Paula launched her vintage inspired clothing lable back in 2009, under the name Moxie Minx, but over the last year or so, has been forced to change Moxie Minx's name, thanks to a big bully sanitary item company. This has cost Paula alot of time, stress and money! But nothing gets this talented lady down! Paula has just re-launched her lable under the new name, Powderpuff Boutique.

If you like, please, check out her brand spankin' new website HERE, and support a hard workin' momma! Or got and 'like' Powderpuff Boutique on facebook!

These are a few of my favouite items, all designed and made by Paula-Jane

Mr. Postman, where are you?

It was my birthday at the beginning of the month so I treated myself to some online shopping, but I am still waiting for my purchases to arrive! I'm sure they will be here in the next few days, but I just can't wait to show you all my pretties...

 The best wiggle skirt from Miss Hussy Clothing

Black Capris, also from Miss Hussy Clothing 

Cute sweater from The Cats Meow by SusieQ 

 My first Swirl dress! From Raleigh Vintage




The last four dresses are all from The Vintage Studio

I think I went a little bit crazy, but hey, a girl can never have too many dresses, right??

Outfit Post- Tuesday Blue

I had such a great day today...I wasn't feeling blue at all, but my pretty new dress sure is!
I picked it up from Red Ruby Vintage in the city. I got to start work late today, which finally gave me a chance to get into Red Ruby, seeing as they are only open Tuesday to Friday, the same hours I work. This dress has been hanging around the shop for a while, waiting for someone to take it home. It is one of those dresses that looks a bit "nothing" on the hanger, but I loved the print and the adroable bows, so when I put it on, I was pleasantly surprised. Oh and it was reduced! Which makes me feel a bit better for spending money when I really shouldn't be!
I have to say this shop is definatly one of the best in Adelaide. All of Gail's clothes are beautiful, and fairly priced...and Gail herself has a wealth of knowledge about vintage clothing which is so helpful for all those ladies out there wanting to know more about different eras of clothing.
Please excuse the crappy iPhone photos, our camera is on the fritz!






I also went to the Adelaide Central Markets, one of my favourite places in our city. It is always buzzing with people and there are so many wonderful personalities about the place.
This is what I wore today....




Outfit details- 50's/60's homemade dress- Ebay, Cardigan- Tempt, Shoes- 18th birthday gift


I was pretty pleased with my hair, it took me about 3 minutes! Yay! Although it stared to rain in the afternoon and went a bit frizzy, but hey, there's nothing a little hairspray can't fix :)
