Meow Girl

Meow Girl

Posted by November 05, 2012


I first saw the Meow Girl collection at the launch of Pigeonhole's pop up store, and I walked out that night with the adorable pug necklace. Since I've been working there, I've added the dachshund and the teeny kitten to my collection. They're all so gorgeously detailed - the little pug even has his tongue poking out and wrinkles on his head! 

They're a little bit more expensive than what I would usually pay for jewellery - around $45-$55 a necklace - but I'm trying to buy fewer high quality pieces rather than a bunch of cheap stuff from Diva. I don't think three really counts as 'fewer', though...


I couldn't resist the kitten pendant because my nan owned a cat figurine almost exactly like it! It was my favourite when I was little. I'm so lucky that I was able to keep that collection of feline figurines.

 {p.s very sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've got bronchitis! Hopefully things should go back to normal soon!}

The Vintage Optical Shop

The Vintage Optical Shop

Posted by October 09, 2012
I know I did a post on glasses not long ago, but I couldn't resist showing you this beautiful Etsy store. It features a huge array of vintage frames and I can't believe how exquisitely detailed they are! They remind me of something a sassy secretary would wear in the '60s.

SWOON. They're a little bit on the expensive side - probably up to about $130 a pair - but I guess that's around what I would pay for a new pair. That last Miu Miu-esque glittery pair is very tempting... but I also love the second last pair. The only thing I'd be worried about is buying glasses without being totally sure they'd suit me, but somehow I don't think that would be a problem with these beauties. To be honest I haven't been buying or really wearing that much vintage lately, and I think these would be an awesome kick-start into making the effort to wear more.

Review: Firmoo Glasses

Review: Firmoo Glasses

Posted by October 05, 2012
I haven't done a review for so long, so I was pretty thrilled when Firmoo contacted me to try out their fancy frames. I do actually have a prescription for reading glasses, and since my Oliver Peoples frames were stolen I was in need of some new specs! Here's my experience with Firmoo...

The glasses themselves are quite a basic shape. I love the wayfarer style so I thought I would just stick with what I know; buying glasses online is totally new territory for me. But, Firmoo have an excellent offer where the first pair of glasses is free for new customers - you just have to pay for shipping. So, even if you're not 100% sure on which style you like, it could be a good way to try out a shape that you're not familiar with.

The glasses themselves (I cannot for the life of me find them on the site! Here's some similar ones) are pretty cute. They look quite a bit more speckled than they do in the picture, but to be honest the quality is better than I expected for such a low price point. I've been wearing them since I got them (as you can see in quite a few of my Restyle posts) and they're comfortable and light enough to wear all day. I don't use glasses all day every day, but so far this pair hasn't dug into my skin or been uncomfortable.

I'd definitely recommend trying out their rather excellent first-customer offer - new customers get their first pair of glasses for free, and only pay for shipping, and they really do have a great range of glasses. Since I just wear glasses when I'm on the computer or reading, I'm not sure how these would stand up being worn all day every day, but in my experience they're comfortable and look very cute on. And the shipping was incredible - I think they arrived in less than a week, which I was very impressed with. All in all they were a pleasure to review! I think I might be tempted to order some more soon...

{These glasses were generously sent for review by Firmoo, however all thoughts and opinions are my own. Oh, and yes I DID forget to clean up a spot of eyeliner just under my eyelash}

Made On The Left

Made On The Left

Posted by July 30, 2012
Hello again! So like I said in yesterday's post, I popped down to the Made On The Left markets at the WA State Theatre on Sunday. I wasn't expecting it to be underground, but it was actually pretty rad (except for taking photos... argh, that lighting!). I only got to have a quick look around, which I guess is one of the perils of bringing your boyfriend shopping with you, but I was really impressed with all the awesome talent coming out of WA. Here's some pretty stalls that caught my eye...

And I'll quickly just share what I picked up!
