The Sydney Rockabilly Crowd in Marie Claire

Oh how very thrilling it was to see so many beautiful friends appearing in the July 2011 edition of Australia's Marie Claire magazine..... I have just been itching to share it with all my worldwide blogging fraternity! May I just congratulate Pia Andersen of Vintage Allsorts for doing such an amazing job orchestrating this fabulous shoot.....and I must say that although the model look terrific, she is not a patch on all the real rockabilly gal's and dolls that appear here !

Robyn looking glamorous as always in her leopard print

Pat Cappocci and Pia Andersen getting their groove on...

Beautifully talented girls from Retrospec'd

Georgio and Marc - always dapper and suave !

Dreaming of Spring ......

Brrrr....winter is here. I know I should be enjoying rugging up in gorgeous coats, with velvet hats or natty beret's, lots of lovely layers and snuggling under quilts, but I simply cant help dreaming about the coming spring..... floaty dresses, cardigans, colour and roses in my garden again ! So I hunted out a couple of lovely magazines from 1958 to pour over the fashions and ideas from mid 20th Century Spring......I decided that you all might like to share some Spring dreaming with me, so here are some gowns that would leave Betty Draper green with envy. Oh, and by the way, if anyone has a decadent hot chocolate recipe for me to brave the next three months with, do let me know !!! Kisses to everyone !
