Who needs fancy smancy modern technology. Who knew playing with cardboard could be so fun. This retro pinhole cardboard camera needs to be assembled before use.   

Hole On Ex Pinhole Camera $34.94 AUD.

take a different view

Photos have flooded the internet, made public for all to see and comment on. With the invention of digital cameras and cheap mass photo production, these images which capture a unique, never to be repeated moment in time are now mostly viewed as pixels on a computer screen - and through this, they've kinda lost their magic.

Sometimes it would be nice to just bring it all back to basics and view your precious photos with the fresh eyes of a child, on something that is made for one person to view at a time. These retro view-master style finders enable you to capture that feeling again. Create personalised reels of photos from special events such as weddings, birthdays, holidays - or just because.

retro is right

We love the ecclectic feel of this shop and their huge range of dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, accessories, jacket/coats, swimwear and homewares.

We could spend hours trawling through the array of cute vintage inspired party dresses and kitch homewares. Apparently retro style queen Zooey Deschanel shops here!

Mod Cloth Scratch 'n' Style Dress $54.99USD approx $53AUD

i want to ride my bicyclette...oui oui

Brrring brrring! With all the recent
excitement of the tour de france and the weather suddenly brightening up a bit, we are keen as mustard to get out on the bike a bit more! Except no yellow jerseys or spandex here, we prefer floral attire please.

Vintage style bicycles are all the rage at the moment. More and more girls in Australia are following in suit of their European friends, who would think nothing of fluttering around on their shiny cruiser bikes with wicker baskets full of crusty baguettes and fresh tulips.

Many local bicycle shops stock new vintage style bicycles. Or if you prefer the real thing check out gumtree or ebay for a reconditioned retro bike.

Pappilionaire Bicycles has a cool range of bikes at their store in Melbourne, and even better - they also sell their bikes online and ship throughout Australia! Oui Oui!

level headed

Trawling though our fave crafty website we came across this ever so quirky but cute 'level' necklace from Etsy seller thelovelyteaspoon.

A girl never knows when she is going to need to check her levels, so its handy to have one on hand!
