I have an odd obsession with food-themed clothing and accessories – fruit in particular. For whatever reason, I’m utterly charmed by a strawberry print, a cherry necklace, a fruit-appliquéd bag. Given the plethora of delectable items I’ve come across over the past few weeks, I can at least take comfort in the fact that I’m not alone in my love of consumable-inspired fashion.
So, for the love of fruit, here’s a roundup of some of my latest obsessions…
To Adorn the Fruit Basket
The velvety lettuce leaves and tiny budding flowers on this hat feels like the Garden of Eden… I’m not a hat person, but I may need this one.
This beautiful handmade carved bracelet is as refreshing as a mint julep in summer.
They do say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so therefore this necklace is important to own. And isn’t everything better with bacon?
Perhaps not food themed, but I am in love with all manner of vintage gloves, and these little polka dot numbers might be the cutest ever!
Now, this iPhone case is my idea of a balanced meal…
Autumn weather here in Perth kind of demands the most charming autumnal vintage carved acorn & leaves necklace.
For Stomping on Grapes
Some blissfully tiny-footed woman needs to take these berry-adored beauties home!
Every time Miss L Fire puts out their new shoes for the season, I almost always swoon over at least five pairs. These are no exception.
To Wear in the Orchard
I love nothing more than a vintage novelty print, and this dress is too adorable for words…
And this dress, because there can never be too many strawberry print dresses in my closet…
Ohhh this dress would be the epitome of life handing you lemons and me responding by wearing the perfect 1950’s dress while sipping a lemon margarita…
This dress is the kind that daydreams are made of…
I love the vibrant citrus against the black background of this dress. As if all of that sweetness has a dark side…
Ohhh to be petite enough to wear this gorgeous little number…
Every once in awhile, a vintage-inspired cardigan steals my heart…. and this one is one sale!
The colors of this 1960’s dress reminds one of Skittles. Taste the rainbow…
If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain…you might as well be wearing this dress! I mean – a pineapple print??
Need. Want. Cuteness overload.
There’s something about this print that reminds me of strolling the beach in Hawaii, sipping fruity tropical drinks without a care in the world…
To Carry the Apples Back In
Oh this homemade bag of adorable needs to find its way onto my arm pronto!
Orange you thinking I need this bag? Yeah, me too…
And with some handmade strawberry cuteness, this beaded coin purse is too cute for words.
What is is about strawberry bags? I swear, it doesn’t matter how many I own, I’m always on the lookout for another. This one takes the cake. The strawberry shortcake.
And Just Because
I may need to make something out of this ridiculously cute fabric… and then put together a BBQ themed outfit complete with that bacon and eggs necklace above…
And because occasionally he deserves presents too, I may need to get these adorable PB&J cufflinks for Mr. Dressed Aesthetic…
So you can be honest with me – am I alone in my food-based obsession? Why I love fruit so much, I’ll never know. But, as with most things, I’ve decided to stop fighting the things I feel drawn to and just run with it. Any of these food-tastic items making their way into your wardrobe? It’ll be tough to narrow down which ones will be making their way into mine…
Have a great weekend lovelies!
