Blogging as a pair about the things we heart, the story of The Hidden Thimble has to start with our friendship.
Contrary to popular belief, university group assignments do not always mean death. We both met at university sharing a group assignment with 6 other people. Shock! But we somehow made it out with our friendship intact and now we are the best of friends.
Our motivation created this blog to be a platform to explore our own personal style in fashion as well as updating the sweeter things in life like trends we’re digging, food we’re enjoying and travel buddy-ing.
Maybe it’s the media student in us but we love making our own original content.
Whenever we see something we like, we literally pick out all the elements to reveal the creativity behind it rather than the price tag. It’s made us more aware of how aesthetics work and we aspire to gain the knowledge to create the stunning visual dreams we see in styling but on a more realistic level for us.
We hope you love reading our blog as much as we love creating it for you!

ABOUT THE HIDDEN THIMBLE
1. Where is The Hidden Thimble based?
Talyssa is based in Sydney, Australia.
Siree is based in Tokyo, Japan.
2. What does The Hidden Thimble mean? How did you come up with the concept?
For the meaning behind The Hidden Thimble, please refer to our first blog post. We basically played upon the metaphor in the famous Peter Pan story of the “hidden kiss.” As a “kiss” in Peter Pan is commonly referred to as a “thimble” and a thimble also has connotations with clothing and fashion (i.e. a tool used whilst making clothes), we played upon the metaphor for our blog name and came up with The Hidden Thimble. Although there are a lot of meanings behind the Peter Pan metaphor of the “thimble” and the “hidden kiss”, we wanted our readers to engage and create their own personal interpretation and meaning of not only the name of our blog, but the philosophy behind it as well. We thought The Hidden Thimble’s philosophy was captured perfectly within the video scene located in our first blog post.
In terms of coming up with a concept for our blog name, it was really difficult. We went through a tonne of names with none of them feeling quite right. It’s funny because inspiration always seems to pop up when it is least expected. The inspiration for The Hidden Thimble actually came whilst reading J.M. Barrie’s classic novel Peter Pan. We instantly felt that the concept of “the hidden kiss” aligned perfectly with the feminine, elegant, classic and vintage inspired fashion we love.
