Cotton On top, thrifted dress/skirt, gifted hat, Equip pocket watch necklace.
The past few days have gone by so quickly, I've been spending most of them enjoying hobbies while my Mum was away in Darwin. We also went to the library on Saturday (favourite place), and I borrowed out a few Vogues, some Nancy Drew mysteries (who can resist a mishap in River Heights?) and some ballet encyclopaedias. I love reading about the different ballets and the various costumes! I've also been browsing esty, ebay and amazon like crazy for vintage treasures. I'm looking for a pretty cameo necklace, a nice full-skirted dress and perhaps an Mulberry Alexa-lookalike as I mentioned in my last post.
And, I can't believe how hot it has gotten here, Summer has obviously come early in Australia (why am I not surprised?). We're going to 'the fairy forest' later this week to swim at the waterfall. It's so lovely, the little lake is hidden inside a forest near where we live. I will most definitely be taking photos, it's too pretty not to share!
I love this outfit combination. The silk skirt was originally a dress with flutter sleeves, but I experimented and hacked the top off! It worked out perfectly, contrasting with this sheer top.
And how do you like the changes I made to Avenue M? It's a little more welcoming now that readers are not bombarded with an unnatural amount of pink floral. I hope you have a happy Monday and there's still time to enter the give away!
Lots of love,
Maria

Your skirt is so pretty! I love it! And your hat is so classic and perfectly summer-y, too. Summer is completely gone where I live (the Northern US) and I kind of miss summer, though autumn is most welcome anyhow.
I got your comment about guest posting! I would absolutely LOVE to guest post for you sometime! ♥ Just email me at flyingshipsvintage[at]gmail[dot]com whenever to give me details, etc.

Love this look! I love that you too experiment with your clothes and hacked off the top of your dress - I do that stuff all the time :) I say it works out 80% of the time but there are some that just can't be saved.

I just love how the tiered-frill blouse looks with the flowy skirt; it's such a natural combination of textures. And Avenue M looks adorable!! This sweet wallpaper makes me feel like I'm sitting down to a cup of tea to chat about pretty things. x
