Father's Day Redux



After postponing our Father's Day celebrations due to a rather nasty bout of bronchitis within the family, we finally celebrated the men we cherish with lunch at the historical Cafe Valetta in Toowoomba, home of the absolutely DIVINE stained glass windows!

Scroll down to see how the merrymaking unfolded...

The balmy weather meant it was the perfect time to wear this stunning number from Aussie brand Review that I had pretty much being hoarding all winter long... you know, ready for that "special occasion" to come along for its inaugural outing... Anyway, the lovely white lace fit-to-flare silhouette with flesh-tone satin lining made me feel all girly; a feeling that I decided to enhance with rose-toned accessories - a pair of flat rubber sandals with metallic t-bar from Holster, small vinyl cross-body bag with silver hardware from Forever New & armfuls of "stacked up" Indian bangles for some daytime sparkle.



Now that the fashion's taken care of, keep scrolling for family pictures...

Nothing like feeling the wind in your hair at all of 10km/hour!
