Tis the Season #3


Just in time for New Year's Eve is the third & final installment of the Penny Festive Celebration photographs. Go ahead, start scrolling...






Posing in a Toowong laneway before heading to "Carols in the Carpark" at the local Baptist Church on Christmas Eve. I'm wearing an absolutely beautiful glitter-floral-printed twill dress with nipped-in waist & box pleating from Anthea Crawford; embellished silver & blue flat toe sandals with matching duck-egg-blue vinyl cross-body bag from Forever New; shiny silver hinged bangle from Wallace Bishop & chunky beaded bracelet from Adorne for a bit of smart-casual night-time sparkle.

Keep on scrolling to see how the evening unfolded...

Shadow Play



"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace & truth." 
John 1:14

Feeling wonderful in a stunning oversized-floral-printed twill dress with nipped-in waist & box pleating from Anthea Crawford; glittery gold wedge sandals from Corelli (available from Williams the Shoemen) for a touch of daytime sparkle; dark-blush suede purse-style shoulder bag with gold claps & extra-long chain from Portmans; gold mesh watch with black face from Jag (a Christmas present from some dear friends) & a stack of Alex & Ani gold bangles (yet another thoughtful Christmas present; this time from my parents) for a bohemian touch.

See below for the look in even more detail...








A few photographs with my mother, who was also looking fabulous in a butterfly-printed cotton dress from Anthea Crawford, black wedge sandals with silver embellishments from Bare Traps (available at Simona Ricci) & a pair of black & silver Celtic drop earrings from Prouds... a Christmas gift from a lovely son & daughter, perhaps?





Oh Christmas Tree...

Loving my new vintage hat!






Divine Art Nouveau sculpture



I had a dream; crazy dream
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go
Hear my song; sing along...
The Song Remains The Same: Led Zepplin (1976)

Listening to some of the best on my new retro-style portable Crosley record player!

Hitting the Boxing Day Sales with friends (before heading to Yum Cha) in a navy & black jersey & striped organza fit-to-flare dress with grosgrain ribbon tie belt from Anthea Crawford, embellished flat sandals from Gios Eppo (purchased from my local Trade Secret store), shiny silver handbag with stud detail from Adorne & finally, some lava stone beaded bracelets (with charms) from Gone Dotti at the Southbank Markets.
