Colossal. Monstrous. Gargantuan. Humongous. Monumental.
This is officially the biggest floral headband I have ever made. I mean, all of the above adjectives perfectly describe its height, breadth and width. I also happen to think it's pretty fecking amazing too. Just as dusk was falling, The Stylist and I realised we were out of mosquito coils and we didn't want the household to put up with another night of The Terror of the Mozzies.
So we went for a wonderful sunset walk, watching the first stars appear, enjoying the cool evening and causing a bit of traffic chaos on the way to the shop.
Rose headband - DIY
1940s silk blouse, 1950s longline bra, skull earrings - Etsy Pink sparkly necklace - made by the amazing Krista Frida necklace - made by incredible Tamera Crucifix, PNG bilum bag - thrifted Rings and tutu - markets Doc Martens - massive Solestruck sale (woop!)This floaty blouse is like wearing gossamer. It's so old and delicate, I love the pin tucks, bow and braiding, yet it's so resilient to wear and tear. Not bad for a piece of clothing that's around 70 years old huh?
Oh come on, how often do you get some bint flashing her 1950s longline bullet bra hmmm?
The Stylist snapped all of the above pics including this one taken from our front door, looking east at the Moreton Bay islands.
Someone has new gumboots and you'll have to fight her tooth and nail to get them off her feet:).

The past few days have been a whirlwind after my appearance in the Sunday Mail lift out and can I just send you all a huge bunch of arse-squeezes for all your kind words?
I have rather resilient fingers and I can cope with handing out hundreds of juicy squeezes.
If you see tears streaming down my face, it's not pain, it's love.
Thank you. All of you.
Kisses and arse-squeezes,
Desiree xoxo
