//BREAD AND JAM for FRANCES

With the coming cold it does seem necessary to share with you, dear readers, some food posts. Why? Because I'm pretty sure that during the colder months, we humans do have a tendency to eat. 

I like to think it's because we're storing "layers" up for winter. 

If you get my drift.

Well! Here is one gem of a place that you must must must make a note of and place into the "must visit and eat" list. May we present to you: 

Bread & Jam for frances.

Truly a scrumptious place to eat, relax, have a coffee (or a chai if you are like me!) and enjoy the space. It's truly glorious with a flood of light that streams in though the windows and creates a beautiful atmosphere.

In terms of food, it definitely had a delish selection of breads to choose from.

What's also fantastic is that Bread & Jams is located right behind the amazing bookshop Readings. Simply perfect to have a bite and then peruse the shelves for creative inspiration/some literature/large folios.   

Was truly a lovely breakfast! By the way. Have you met Emerald? 

This is she! Our fellow adventurer, foodie, source of guidance support strength and laughter. We're blessed to have such a gorgeous soul in our lives!

//MAROON

Basic, outfit details; Maroon pants from Kmart (cheap and best shopping!), heels from payless shoes, blouse from the second shop and pullover sweater from forever new (probably one of the most and unreasonably expensive things I've ever bought!)

Ah, it feels good to blog again, I've really missed sharing with you guys. Best feeling, when friends come up to us and say how much  they enjoy B.P.S (and 'why don't you post more frequently!').

One of th best advice I got from one of my best friends, Alicia was, "just post, anything". Which is somewhat true, I do enjoy posting good content, but it does get very stale sometimes, looking at the same post each time. So frequency and consistency, here we come!

My favourite part of Vess' outfit would probably have to be the softness of it. The creams, whites, which is broken up by her amazing jeans and lippy colour. The jeans are extremely gorgeous and really brightens up the cold winter days. I also had a ton of fun styling her hair for this post. which I tried slicking back on the side. Made her look very 'edgy'.

On a tangent side note, I've noticed, many fashion bloggers who started out vintage and retro loving have become very high class. It's really great they've established themselves very prominately in the fashion industry, but sad that they don't continue using 2nd hand or vintage pieces. Cause I always found it very inspiring when bloggers would find such beautiful pieces from the op-shop, giving new life back into old clothes. But now, all the clothes they seem to feature are designer brands(which look I can try replicate, but probably not achieve) or new products. Which is great cause they usually feature ALOT of Australian brands (which is AWESOME) but sad as well, cause the opshops aren't getting their shine no longer. 

Well, my ramble has passed by, but I hope you enjoyed the post.

More coming soon lovelies.

//MY MY MY LOVELY VINTAGE

Hello to our lovely readers, old and new! 

Did you guys enjoy the last post of some of our photography work? It's really encouraging to hear from friends and family that they quite like our little blog! 

These photos were taken in the city on a cloudy overcast day, but despite it being overcast, the lighting was still extremely beautiful.

What I want to highlight in this post, would probably be the bag and  the dress, which are both, vintage inspired looking.

This dress, was gifted to us from our lovely Aunty from Singapore, who bought these vintage dresses at a boutique or a market (if I remember correctly). She's also very much into the 'vintage' scene (I think she bought a couple of dresses for herself as well!) and we were so happy to receive these from her! My fav part of the dress would probably be the retro 60s (would you say thats the right era?) very mod-ish feel. The colours and the patterns are amazing and the dress does speak for itself. 

Speaking of Singapore and vintage, there's such a retro vibe coming from that place, from markets, to  toy cameras, its really 'happening' over there! Really wish I could fly off on a plan right now and do some shopping, rather than finishing my uni essays! (I think all of us going through exams would rather fly anywhere at the moment!)

The bag was also gifted to us by another Aunty (a different one), I'm really loving the clasp on it. It's so fun and special and the colour, just wow! Another great thing about it would have to be the long strap, which makes it really easy to open and grab things out off. Really surprised, cause it could fit my camera inside!

hope you guys are having an amazing day!

have a look tomorrow, our church is holding a retro prom this friday and Vess and I will be posting some outfit ideas!
