Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending an early birthday celebration for the eldest daughter of dear family friends - & fashionista in her own right - darling Isabella Rae, whom I have had the joy of watching grow from a tiny baby into a wonderful young woman for the past 11 years.
Funky & casual was the name of the game, so I pulled out this amazing tiger print dress from Leona Edmiston Ruby in a comfy jersey material; its relaxed shift shape "zooshed" up by the bicep cut-outs on either side of the upper arm.
Black suede booties from Corelli with a lace-up tongue & chunky, mid-sized heel "anchored" the look, as well as a pair of black matte 40 denier Razzamatazz tights & a boxy, patent handbag from Novo. When it came to jewellery, less was more, so I chose a silver fork cuff that I picked up from Gone Dotti at the Southbank Markets - a whimsical recycling of an old piece of silver cutlery.
The unpredictable Queensland weather was also on my mind, so a woven wool cape from Rockmans - a contrasting pattern in the same colour palette - thrown casually around my shoulders was just the ticket to complete the look. Check out those pics below:
