Have fallen head-over heels for the 1920s and 30s again, after finally sitting down to watch The House Of Eliott. I can’t get enough of the fabrics and shapes and bloody gorgeousness of it all. I’m convinced, if depression/war hadn’t broken out, the designs and innovations would have become better and better. As it is, the war came, and that changed the way we wore.
If I could, I’d snap up this lost-for-words blue piece, above – as seen on world’s best daydream site, PoshGirlVintage. I ‘d stare at it all day long and sigh little sighs over the beading. Sigh.
Anyway, in mindlessly googling House of Eliott and dreaming over the resulting images, I stumbled across the blog of Pia Jane Bijkerk, an Aussie lass with a beautiful eye for beautiful things. Forgive me if you already know of her, but I’m figuring if you do know her, you wont mind looking again!
She’s a photographer, stylist and author of ‘Paris: Made by Hand’ and happens to be living my dream life – dividing her time between Paris, a houseboat in Amsterdam and Oz. Hello Pia, can I have my life back? Cheers.
It’s hard to feel envious as her blog is so lovely and she shares her toys with us in a very well mannered way AND she dedicates a whole post to the House of Eliott, as well as pics from shoots, her fashion look-book, snaps from whichever town she’s in (such as this one above from the ‘Dam) and simply stunning photos. It’s totally worth a look, you’ll lose yourself in it for hours.
Pia, you’re my new most favourite blog in the world. Yum
