I’ve been into vintage and rockabilly fashion since I discovered it was a thing, at about age 13. My love of history and old things morphed into something that dictates my day to day style. Starting with one vintage style dress at age 14, and now able to do vintage hair styling and makeup. But […]
I found the London based The Gothic Shoe company through youtube vlogger It’s Black Friday (a favourite of mine, as you know). She highly recommended their boots, so for Christmas I asked my parents to get me a pair. I really wanted the four strap bat-buckle winklepickers in black patent leather, however that was not […]
The Damned have been a part of my life for my entire life. There is a large framed poster of their album Phantasmagoria on the wall of the study, and I grew up watching The Young Ones so I remember them from the episode “Nasty”. But it wasn’t until about the age of 17 or 18 […]
El Rodeo is a one woman Sydney-based online store selling clothing and accessories inspired by rock n roll, old school biker culture and the wild west from independent labels. Amongst the items in store are vintage cowboy boots, concho belts, patches, velvet shorts and, the main attraction, a wide variety of awesome t-shirts. I got myself three […]
I have visited the crazy city of Berlin twice in the last few years, and both trips I have made sure to visit two places very close to my heart. A short walk away from each other in the area of Mitte, are the Ramones Museum and Bertolt Brecht’s grave and residence. I grew up listening to […]
This is by far one of my favourite sets from the gorgeous Honey Birdette. I’m loving the edgy, fetishistic way they’ve been going with some of their styles lately. As much as I will always love lace, I do love a bit of leather. Well, a lot of leather. A bondage inspired piece, with buckles […]
I would never have thought to mix the Sex Pistols with expensive bath products, but here you have it. The “Nevermind the Ballistics” bath bomb from our friends at Lush, inspired by the infamous Sex Pistols album “Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”. I was drawn in to the store by the brightly coloured bath […]
Towards the end of May this year I arrived in Bristol, to stay with my second cousin Kathryn, whom I’d met once when I was about 8 years old. Despite only having met that one time many years ago, we got on like a house on fire. Kathryn introduced me to English band The Levellers, […]
I thought I might start doing little outfit posts. Because honestly, I put together some great outfits. Now that I’m back at work and earning again, I shall be buying much more clothes. So I’ll have a lot of fabulous outfits coming up. Today I start with something simple. Had a coffee date with a […]
In 1984-85 in the UK there was a huge miners strike, affecting the coal industry. I don’t know the full details, something to do with crap wages and Maggie Thatcher being a bitch. What I do know from movies such as Billy Eliot is that it had horrible affects on the mining communities and their […]
