July 2013: Blue Jean Baby
I'll have to find a good picture of these jeans because they are the best jeans. Ever.
Featuring a side zip, super high rise to the bellybutton, and a cropped leg. No pockets, meaning your butt will look insanely good. DAMN!
Outfit:
70s polyester sleevless polo, no label
Modern Jeans, 'Daisy' by Neuw - the photo doesn't show, but these are a classic denim blue.
July 2013: She's a Mod
Could NOT get a decent photo of this one - my camera/mirror situation is a bit shit.
Outfit:
Vintage bright orange lace dress (60s, but maybe also 90s), Homemade
Vintage black wool cardi, Woolcraft NZ
60s tan swing coat, Miss Mouse
60s black velvet beret, no label
July 2013: Naughty Late Forties
I love a Teddy Girl look, but it is kind of hard to do without people staring at you like you might be insane... Sometimes I just do it anyway 'cause rolled jeans and a blazer make me feel badass!
Outfit:
Grandma's navy blue wool blazer, late 40s/early 50s, label has been lost
90s jeans, Workshop Denim
Modern white shirt, Postie Plus
80s mint green flats, Zak

Inspiration: Penelope Tree
I've awoke to a beautiful sunny morning today, and there is something about the warmth of the sun that always makes me want to break out into flower-powered, mod-squad insanity!
So in ode to a sunny day enjoy some images of one of my favourite 60s models, Penelope Tree.
