The Weekly Snippet 2: Me and my relationship with period drama

The Weekly Snippet 2: Me and my relationship with period drama

Yep, that much is true. At the risk of providing too much information, this girl is PMS-ing right now. And what better cure can a girl have than a glass of cold milk, Lotus Biscoff biscuits, and a night of period drama? There was no pun intended, I promise.  I’ve managed to watch two period pieces from HBO–one, a revisioning of a popular television series from Australia, and another, a…

Things We Love: Science Edition

Things We Love: Science Edition

It’s a proven fact that all queers love science. It’s a historical fact we can prove with the very accurate diaries of a famous historical lesbian.

But it’s not just science we love, but the scientists. What’s more attractive, after all, than someone who’s passionate for test tubes, experiments, and gore? Turns out we have over 250 characters who love the science, and winnowing that down was…

Making a Padmé-inspired Robe

Making a Padmé-inspired Robe

Who amongst us hasn’t been completely and utterly enamored with Padmé Amidala’s costumes? I’ve have to admit, they were one of the costumes that inspired me to get into costuming and keep upping my sewing skills so I can one day make things as wondrous and cool. With Star Wars Celebration coming soon, I decided to finally dig into my stash and make some shit. First up was my vintage-inspired…

After-dinner in the Crypt of Tears

Sometimes it’s good to have friends in Australia – here I am, sitting in the middle of nowhere while my country and much of the rest of the world is in lockdown, and yet I was able to pass an evening with the always delectable Hon. Phryne Fisher. And it was – interesting.

For the uninitiated, Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tearsis the first feature film based on the mystery novels by Kerry…

Best Female Literary Detectives to Read

Best Female Literary Detectives to Read

Move over Sherlock! Female literary detectives are making their mark in the mystery genre. With their tenacity and dedication to finding out the truth, these are ladies that should not be count out because of their gender and they definitely should be on the same pedestal as their male counterparts. So as we conclude Women’s History Month, let’s remember the female literary detectives that have…

I know it’s been a while since I caught you up on our latest binges. Now that C’s shoulder is healing, and Kali has become a dog who eats instead of one who seemed destined for death or at least well into a bulimic situation. So I have a bit more energy to tell about other parts of my life. Bingeing has kept us all sane as we heal. Here are some of the shows we’ve enjoyed.

Lately, I’ve really been inspired by the 1920s. Particularly the fashion and the music of that era. So when I spotted this gorgeous black and pink floral velvet jacket, I just couldn’t resist it. Not only did it remind me of the fabulous Miss Fisher (I could totally see her wearing it), but it was also in the sale for next to nothing. I think I paid about 10 euros for it! I mentioned it on Instagram the next day:

Check out this baby!! I saw it in the sales on tuesday, didn’t buy it (doh!) & then spent the whole evening wishing I had. So…I rushed back yesterday morning and grabbed it! It was the only one left too. Isn’t it beautiful? ❤💗💙💚💛💜

Although I bought it from Stradivarius a couple of months ago, I hadn’t actually wore it until last weekend when hubby and I decided to go out for a romantic dinner a deux. We ended up going to his favourite Indian Restaurant (Pashmina) in Praia da Luz. It was my idea and I’m glad we did. I had the most delicious prawn pathia (I think that was what it was called) and he had a yummy spicy chicken villi villu (again, I’m probably spelling that wrong lol). I’m already looking forward to returning.

But back to my outfit. Not only am I really inspired by the 1920s, I’m also a huge fan of black. Possibly due to my being a bit of a goth in my younger years. I still love to wear it now. I just think it’s flattering on me. On lots of women, really.

I’d also like to mention my lipstick – which I don’t often do. I was gifted some products from Arbonne recently and I’m in the process of trying them out in return for an honest review on the blog. This was the first time I wore the lipstick and I must say, wow, it’s fabulous. Not only is the colour perfect for me (Camelia), but the texture is spot on. It also lasted pretty much all evening. I’m super impressed so far. Stay tuned for a full blog post soon :)

So this was the perfect outfit for me: black skinny Levi jeans, a simple black blouse from Primark and these gorgeous black heels that I just adore. I bought them from Clarks a couple of years ago. All paired with the velvet jacket which has the most divine pink floral pattern on it, as well as my gold clutch from Massimo Dutti – another favourite which does get a lot of use.

As for my jewellery, I went for black and gold. The lovely gold and black earrings and gold circular ring were gifts from my mother-in-law,  I inherited the watch from my late step-mother-in-law (which, incidentally, didn’t have a battery but I wanted to wear it so, well, who cares, right?!). The necklace is one that I’ve had for many years, but I don’t wear so often. I don’t know why because it’s gorgeous!

1920s Miss Fisher

I mentioned Miss Fisher earlier, and the fact that she’d look fab in this jacket. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well Miss Fisher is a character on an Australian TV series I watch (and love!). Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is set in 1920s Melbourne and it’s a tongue-in-cheek crime drama. I love the humour, the costumes, Miss Fisher’s fabulous wit and her general character. She’s strong and very independent – sexually as well as generally speaking! It’s just a fun series to watch. You can find it on Netflix if you’re interested. I took a screen shot of her the last time I watched it and shared it on Instagram:

I love a strong female character, which is why I’m currently thoroughly enjoying Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. I’m also so inspired by the era in which it’s based. The fashion was absolutely gorgeous in the 1920s, don’t you think?
