Unfortunately I ran out of the house before getting shots of my outfit…which is a shame as my fabulous purple velvet pillbox hat has yet to feature on my blog. I only have these two shots. I was going to get the lovely Andi to take some of my in Degraves St…but we got so busy chatting that it was too dark to take photos.

I also forgot to get a photo with my new coat from Retro Star…it’s purple and FABULOUS! It will be getting a post of it’s very own soon. Just look at that colour!!!
It was an absolutely fabulous day with Andi. We had macrons and went to the Monet exhibit. We had tea and went to Minotaur. We had lord of the fries onion rings and walked around. She was only here for a few hours and I felt more than a little bit special that it was me she hung out with. We enjoyed our non smiley photos and then she headed off back to Adelaide and I went home and had the start of a tooth ache (which turns out to be an abscess and the whole tooth needs to come out – but I need to get the infection under control first with antibiotics – I am also on a crazy amount of pain killers – so not sure if this blog post makes any sense…).
What are you wearing this week?
Miss Fairchild xoxo
You look fabulous! The downside is you remind me of how standards of personal appearance are so different now (for most) when I think of the styles of the my childhood (I’m forty-seven). But the upside (apart from your fabulousness) is that you remind me that there are people who are not afraid to dress with flair and individuality and who are not afraid to be a bit different from the rest.
Gosh, you are fab! I’m glad I found your blog.
Awww thank you. I am not big on “standards of dress” BUT I do love to dress in a way that makes me feel happy and comfortable. If that is outside of the norm – I am ok with that, I am more than a little left of centre inside – it should be reflected a little on the outside LOL.
Thanks so much for the kind words and I am glad you found me too!
😦 tooth aches suck. I have one right at this very minute – I let my Dentist ‘try’ to fix some holes and it hasn’t been the same since, fingers crossed that infection of yours fecks off & you can get the tooth removed without too much stress. Love anything purple and can’t wait to see it in full!
Oh lovely – sorry to hear. It looks like I have the same problem as you – it is the only tooth I have had a filling in. Apparently fillings are one of the most common causes of tooth abscesses. ((((hugs))))
I can’t wait to see proper pictures of that purple coat. You’re such a tease!
I know – such a tease!
Lovely outfits! I just got a ’50s purple pencil skirt from etsy! 🙂 Such a great color, I look forward to seeing the coat in its entirety.
Tooth aches suck, one recommendation is a glass of warm water and a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda. In conjunction with the antibiotics, it will help the swelling. (I’ve had my share of tooth problems!)
Feel Better!
Ohhhh I would love a purple vintage pencil skirt.
I will try the baking soda and water – thank you!
You both look so fabulous!
Thanks lovely!
It was so lovely to meet you <33 Thank-you again for the wonderful day and I look forward to next time 😀
Thank you right back! I had such a great afternoon and can’t wait for you to come back to Melbourne.
