All I Want For Christmas

Finally sharing all the lovely pictures taken at the newly refurbished & ever-changing Indooroopilly Shoppingtown this Festive Season... including outfit shots inside the stunning twinkling baubles dotted throughout the centre. Let's just say it's pretty much a Blogger or Instagrammer's version of paradise... I certainly had a "ball" posing inside them! Anyway, scroll down to check out all the fun... & remember, there's still time if you want to visit the centre yourself to see it all with your very own eyes...

All dressed up for a day of Christmas shopping out of the Summer heat in a darling chrysanthemum-printed shantung silk fit-to-flare dress with sweetheart neckline & tulle underlay from Anthea Crawford, shiny metallic gold pointy-toed flats from Wittner (the ideal blend of functional & stylist; no blisters ALL DAY LONG... thank goodness!) & a soft gold vinyl handbag with yellow gold hardware from Forever New to carry all the essentials... including the all important present list! When it came to accessories, I really got into the spirit of the season & went for something a little bit special: a beautiful lace summer weight scarf that was gifted to my mother by a dear friend (& borrowed by me), jade bangle from the Shanghai Markets & Wanfu jade beaded bracelet, both brought back from China by my thoughtful younger brother.

Posing with my long-suffering photographer/mother Joanne... thanks to the kindness of a fellow shopper who offered to take a "happy snap" for us!

Brunch at one of our all-time favourites, Passiontree Velvet with my father, Rayne...

As usual, I'm indulging in the delicious Smashed Avo on Sourdough.

Couldn't resist some more pictures inside the "red" bauble!

Weary shoppers beside the MASSIVE Christmas Tree on the bottom floor...

Doing some last minute Christmas shopping of his own? Ho Ho Ho...

Making a beeline for the red bauble this time (you know, before I finish off the Christmas shopping that I didn't get done the other day...) in a lovely oversized floral jacquard fit-to-flare dress from Anthea Crawford, metallic gold leather gladiator flats with a myriad of shiny gold buckles from Wittner, textured gold vinyl shoulder bag from Nine West (more decorative than functional but never mind...) & some sweet Disney Couture bangles - one depicting Cinderella's castle & carriage & another in pink resin with gold Cheshire Cat charms from "Alice in Wonderland."
