I want to apologise for my lax blogging of late. Work has been almost non-stop and when it finally did stop I left rainy Sydney again for a weekend away with my oldest friend Rebecca. Our destination: the occasionally rainy but sometimes sunny too Gold Coast. This is me on the balcony of our hotel wearing a bustier top from Sportsgirl and vintage shorts from Grandma Takes a Trip. Now that I've had my fill of travel for 2011, regular blogging duties will resume shortly.
I'm a book publicist and committed vintage fashion fan. My blog gives me the luxury of writing about what I love and connecting to people all around the world who share my passions. I hope you enjoy it.
