Last weekend was this shopaholic's dream: 2 days spent brunching & browsing at 2 different shopping centres no more than 30 minutes from home! Scroll down to check out the outfits I styled up for each day of this retail relay:
*
SATURDAY
Dress: Vintage, silk (from Ipswich Antique Centre)
Sandals: Betts for Her patent gladiators
Bag: Vera May patent & hologram
Cuff: EKKA Markets, gold, bronze & semi-precious stones
Ring: EKKA Markets, gold, bronze & semi-precious stone

For a Saturday morning spent exploring & enjoying the sights, sounds & superb cuisine of the newly refurbished Indooroopilly Shoppingtown with the girls, it just had to be this vintage silk shift dress in a vibrant floral & cloud print for an easy-breezy smart casual vibe...
Black patent accessories "anchored" the look - a pair of wedge-heeled gladiator sandals from Betts for Her & a large Vera May handbag with gold hardware & butterfly hologram side panel detail to pick up on the "botanical" nature of the dress. Jewellery was kept minimal but sculptural - a handmade gold, bronze & semi-precious stone oversized cuff & cocktail ring set that I picked up from a market stall at this year's EKKA to provide contrast to the "cuteness" inherent in the flowers-&-butterflies theme of the look.
A sneak peek of the delicious brunch fare from Nantucket's Kitchen & Bar...
Poached Egg with Cherry Tomatoes & Pesto on a Slice of Rye Bread with a Fried Potato Cake
Iced Chocolate is a breakfast thing... right?! Oh well, it's the weekend!

SUNDAY
Dress: Anthea Crawford satin
Sandals: Novo leather & lace-up wedges
Bag: Forever New vinyl
Cuff: EKKA Markets, gold, bronze & semi-precious stones
Ring: EKKA Markets, gold, bronze & semi-precious stone

For a Sunday morning spent trying on shoes (!) at one of my favourite local haunts, Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre, this striking satin dress from Anthea Crawford was ideal for a sweet Springtime vibe. The fact that the background of the oversized floral print was navy - rather than the more expected black - meant that the look was just crying out for white accessories & I was happy to oblige, donning a pair of lace-up, wedge-heeled leather sandals from Novo & a carrying a boxy, vinyl handbag from Forever New.
When it came to jewellery, the sculptural options from Saturday worked a treat, matching the dress' colour palette & the bag's gold hardware perfectly. Check them out in detail below:
