Friday Finds


  • So, my new favourite tumblr. My Daguerrotype Boyfriend. By their own definition: 'where early photography meets extreme hotness'. It's pretty great, with some pretty saucy gents ranging from convicts to Hemingway. Found via the ever-wonderful frankie.

  • I stumbled across the local Nico Underwear this morning, and it's all kinds of wonderful. It's made environmentally and ethically and built to last. Plus, they're kind of gorgeous. I read them described as 'sexy, but in that girl-down-the-street way as opposed to girl-on-the-street' and I kind of agree. The whole thing's made up of some pretty lush colours, and a gorgeous lookbook to boot.



  • This beautiful cover of The Flaming Lips, Do You Realize? by Ball Park Music.
 

 

Other stuff worth the look: 

Fabled & True

There's something unbelievably sweet about little local designer Fabled & True. I'm heading to her first show, A Whole Lot of Lovely, next month at Kerbside, but her current collection is really, really gorgeous.

 





Even When I'm Sleeping



I was lucky enough to get to see Washington mid-last-year at the Tivoli, and she was a pretty phenomenal live performer. This is a pretty wonderful cover.

Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fair 2012


On Saturday I headed out to the Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fair at Eagle Farm Raceway. It was pretty great really, and I came away with some pretty sweet kicks (and knits and hats). Most of what I bought was actually from the sixties/seventies (or at least sixties/seventies-styled), even though I prefer a fifties silhouette. There were also a lot of dropped waists lurking around the roller racks which, whilst they look gorgeous on some, don't suit my 5'2 hourglass. 

The colours especially all looked great hobbled together in a bit of a fashion timewarp, and there was a nice vibe amongst the patrons too. I snapped a couple of photos via instagram which I've dropped in below, but I'd head over to Sarah Maree for the good stuff.
