Wardrobe Gems July
3 August 2012
I started a little photo-a-day project last month over on Instagram, basically sharing Wardrobe Gems anyone thought were worth sharing! I stuck to vintage pieces that aren’t necessarily things I wear every day, but things I love dearly. There were a few great people who joined in alongside me including the very lovely Jules from Sconnie and Jam, Janine from Middlemost Clothing, Mia from The Raisin Did It, Donna from Deer Donna, Christina from Made590 and my very lovely friends Kellie and Emma C (a fellow made590 behind the scenes lady).
I thought it would be fun to share mine here for any non-instagrammers!
Yellow floral capelet dress, Glomesh Vest, my favourite Red Riding Hood coat and navy floral dress I got in Amsterdam.
My Brass buckle Belt collection, peter pan collar velvet dress, little floral collared blue dress and my Lang Sterling swan brooch.
Vintage purple patchwork dress, winking bunny brooch, Sterling moving Cuckoo Brooch and Kelly Green line dancer dress.
Vintage zig zag cotton vest, purple floral prairie dress, Czech glass floral brooches, and handmade floral cross stitch scarf.
Miniature Victorian engagement rings, orange gingham embroidered prairie dress, vintage navy nurses cape, vintage fringed clogs (wilfred has since destroyed these. Waaaaa!)
Kirbees Nans’ floral dress, pale blue embroidered 70′s dress, 70′s pastle check coat and pink ric rac dirndl dress.
Mums’ mesh bow brooch, blue daisy ruffle front dress, favourite floral winter dress and favourite summer watering can dress.
3 maxi dresses from Kirbees’ Nan, wooden carved cat brooch, cotton abstract print shirts, and my cross stitch bunny loafers.
Hope you enjoyed a peek into some of my favourite vintage wardrobe bits and pieces! You can check out everyone elses’ under the hashtag #wardrobegemsjuly on instgram! Kx
Ten Daily Outfits
20 July 2012
I’ve been sharing my daily outfits over on instagram (because lets face it, its easier to snap a half decent phone pic these days than it is to set up a camera) and thought I’d share a bunch of my favourites here too. Winter is my favourite season. SO many layers (coats, cardies, stockings, knitwear!) and accessories (scarves, socks, belts, brooches!) needed. YAY!
If you want to follow along on instagram you can find me under “thestorybookrabbit”. Hope you like them! Kx

Daily Outfits
29 February 2012
I Apologise in advance for anyone who follows me on instagram and feels this post is a little “seen it” for them, but for everyone else I’ve been snapping outfits every morning before work (or daily outings) which I’ve found a lot easier than setting up the camera in the boiling hot attic and standing around till I get a couple of good ones for my “What I Wore” posts. I use a cute program called “Picstitch” on my iPhone to throw them all together and highlight different details of my outfits. It’s all a bit of fun, and usually I don’t have time to do a proper shoot of my work outfits, so it’s a good substitute with little time in the morning! Here are some recent highlights. (and if you do want to follow me on instagram your can search for me under “Thestorybookrabbit”) Kx
What I Wore: Mexican Yellow Embroidery
15 February 2012
Here’s the second cute embroidered dress that arrived last week. This ones become a new favourite, the ocre yellow, the heavy embroidery, the little lace panel in the sleeve, there’s nothing I don’t like about this one. Do also note I chopped off my hair last week! It’s very liberating and annoying me already.
Dress: Napkin Items Etsy Shop – super cute styling here, check it out!
Belt: Vintage
Clogs: Nordic Fusion
Cardigan: Vintage
Tights: Falke (definitely the best tights I’ve ever bought!)
What I Wore: Embroidery, Spots & Floral
7 February 2012
Last week I got two beautiful embroidered dresses in the mail I nabbed off etsy. I absolutely love crosshatch, embroidery, or anything bright and crazy coloured, so they fit the bill perfectly. This cute little dress was from Young Captive a vintage shop run by Olivia Mew who is also an amazing artist! You can see her work here, in her other etsy shop Fever Few. I also got a beautiful bunting strand with a persian cat, birds and little mice on it, which I’m sure I will post at a later date.
Embroidered Dress: Young Captive
Cardigan: Gorman (I may have visited the outlet on the weekend….so dangerous)
Belt: Asos
Shoes: The Horse
Floral Hair Tie: Found in the flea markets in Amsterdam….sigh….take me back! My lovely friend Megan McKean is travelling europe on her honeymoon at the moment and I’m enjoying seeing her adventures to places I’ve been and some I haven’t. You can see them too, if you like, here. Kx
What I Wore: Green and Purple
20 January 2012
I got this super cute vintage handmade skirt the other day at the red cross shop in Newtown, for $10! I’d had my eye on in a “do i really need another skirt” kind of way, but obviously it was meant to be, on sale no less.
What I wore:
Vintage floral skirt – the red cross shop, king street Newtown (great for cheap but not usually amazing vintage)
Shoes: The Horse
Necklace: Elke Kramer
Head Scarf and Belt : Vintage
What I Wore – Green and Pink
13 January 2012
While we were away recently I picked up this beautiful little Austrian dress from Nefarious Rabbit in Berry. I have a soft spot for anything from the general vicinity of where we visited in europe (and floral, always with the floral!), so this was a cute addition to the collection of bits and pieces I picked up in Germany and Amsterdam.
Dress: Nefarious Rabbit Vintage
Belt: Asos
Shoes: The Horse (on sale right now!)
Scarf: vintage
Necklace: Used to be mums!
