1940 's C a r d i g a n s
At the moment, I am really loving cardigans a la the 2008 movie-- The edge of love, that stars Kiera Knightley and Sienna Miller, and revolves around the life of poet Dylan Thomas.
Although I have not yet seen the movie, I have wanted to for a while since I first saw pictures of Kiera and Sienna in costume. It is not only the interesting and pretty amazing plot line that draws me to it, but it the stunning costume design of the movie makes me want to see it just that little bit more....
The 1940's style cardigans and sweaters in muted colors I love the most:::
I love the cable knit of the sweater below, and the grey is so lovely. Grey always pairs so nicely with pink in my opinion, many a nice outfit can be compiled from this baby. I know this is yet another winter-ey type post in the middle of summer, but the weather has been so anti summer recently that its hard not to get a little bit inspired to throw on a lovely 40's style cardigan, boots and stockings! Hopefully, I'll be filled with summer inspiration shortly---I am frantically searching for little peter pan collared blouses which would look lovely with a skirt at the moment, that's kind of summer-ey...no luck so far though! Wish me luck, Im looking for a white and a black cotton one.au revoir. ♥

I got some pretty lovely things for Christmas from various loved ones, I got all I wished for...and then some. So here's what I wished for:::

I'm so happy I got my boater(esque) hat from Sportsgirl, my perfume Princess and a diana mini! Ive been using the diana, pimping it out at New years eve celebrations, only to accidentally open the back door of the camera, thus exposing all the film to harsh sunlight...will I have any pictures that will show up? Only time will tell...until then,
au revoir.

farewell twothousand and nine!

This is actually the 1st birthday(ish) of the feather fleurette blogspot blog! Technically, it started in December, but I forgot to celebrate it's birthday, so i'll do so now! Two birds with one stone, some might say. I love reading my favourite blogs' recaps of their year, so I thought I'd do a little picture yearly play-by-play of my year of blogging!

Summer holidays! I had a grand old time at a sixteen year old, chillin in the fourty degree heat of Sydney, making my friends take outfit photos of me whenever I saw a nice door, or tree, or building to stand in front of (I have to start doing that again, sorry friends!)F e b r u a r y /
Not a big month for the blog, as I was getting settled into senior school...year 11 was a big change from year 10, but it has been my favorite schooling year so far! This month I mainly wrote about my excitement of the new Lula issue that was filled with Lilac, Luella and Chanel Iman.M a r c h //
In march I was eagerly anticipating the perfect autumn weather, and my favourite dressing season! I was in love with stripes mainly, and I got my amazing blue striped top from my cousin Mia in Sweden ( I ♥ HER!).
A p r i l /
I went to Japan and honestly had the most amazing time of my life. The exchange programme was the best experience of my life thus far, if you have the opportunity---do it!
M a y //
I moved to Erskineville (or, basically Newtown) in may! We were approaching winter and I was dreaming of owning my first of cheap monday jeans, breaking my five year jean drought!














J u n e /
In June I went to the cheap monday store with my darling Samm and we had a lovely little photoshoot around my suburb. This is the month I first fell in love with wedge shoes ( im still looking for those brown H&M oxford ones!!!)
J u l y //
I turned seventeen! The picture is of the card my best friend Kate made for me.

I went to my lovely friend Ashlea's high tea party and had an amazing time! At this time it was winter and I was suffering fashion block, in severe need of some femininity in my wardrobe, so dressing up for Ashlea's party worked as an antidote.

S e p t e m b e r //

I became smitten with the belles of the black diamond field, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Tennessee Willams, Karen Elson and the new, darker edition of Lula. I was so inspired by their film spell (styled by Leigh Clarke!) that I decided to do a lula-hair inspired photoshoot -type thing.

O c t o b e r /
I bought the most amazing stockings in my wardrobe---my vintage baby blue rhinestone polka-dotted white tights ( wow, that was an intense sentence). I also made a skirt! I was looking forward to summer and I was enjoying the break from winter fashions!
N o v e m b e r ///
I first fell in love with tomboy- style, nerdy chic fashion, which I still am greatly influenced by now.
D e c e m b e r /
Not so long ago, but probably my fashion 'highlights' for this month are the nice shoes I bought that appeared on the blog! christmas was pretty amazing also ( I have yet to write about that though).


H e r e s t o 2 0 1 0!

Christmas in the N o r t h e r n Hemisphere!
Looking at all the pictures from my favorite European/ North American fashion blogs, I have become jealous of the cold weather that they experience during Christmas. If nothing at all, all the Christmas memorabilia (i.e. all the snow-related things) that we have in Australia would be far more relevant if it was cold! Not to say that I don't love the unbeatable combination of summer holidays, Christmas and New years coming all at once, I'm just so inspired by all the northern-hemisphere influences that I feel like pulling on a pair of stockings and a big coat, to supplement the flimsy top and skirt I wore yesterday.
So here's some of my inspiration, perhaps it will inspire you also!(this is my favourite look-- I forgot where it is from, but I am in love with it all! The colour pallet, the tights/black boots, the amazing grey cable knit sweater and the cute beanie!)

(this is from Quirky explosion, a blog I stumbled across a short time ago + I love her outfits!)


(from migonette (she looks a lot like the cherry blossom girl, huh?). When winter rolls around, I think I shall be re-creating this outfit- I love it!)

(this is from alicepoint, it is her sister- whose hair I am IN LOVE with)

Merry Christmas everyone!

au revoir!
