Heading out for some "vitamin sea" with friends for the third installment of my Stamford Staycation pictures... firstly to Sea Life Aquarium (once known as Underwater World) on "The Spit" at Mooloolaba on Saturday before heading to the Redcliffe Jetty Markets for brunch on Sunday morning...
Jumpsuit: Gorman linen
Sandals: Wittner leather
Bag: Renee Loves Frances cane, leather
Bracelet: Tibetan silver (from boutique in Maleny)
Bracelet: Gift, lava beads (from Greece)
Feeling nautical & nostalgic at Underwater World in a stunning navy & white checked linen pantsuit with v-neckline, wide-legged pants & a tie belt from funky Aussie label Gorman & comfortable yet stylish tan leather gladiator sandals from Wittner with matching cane crossbody bag from Renee Loves Frances to keep my hands free for exploration... & child-wrangling an excited & inquisitive almost-two-year-old! When it came to jewellery, I chose a divergent pair of bracelets - a chunky Tibetan silver bracelet from a little boutique in Maleny & a daintier blue ombre lava bead bracelet that some friends brought back for me from their recent trip to Greece.

Casual Sunday style at the delightful Redcliffe Jetty Markets before brunching at hipster haven Cafe Diversity wearing a sweet red & white "picnic blanket" checked linen midi pinafore from Brisbane label Maiocchi, classic white cotton t-shirt from Seed Heritage, trusty tan leather gladiator sandals from Wittner, cane crossbody bag from Renee Loves Frances & woven sunhat from Before Sunset to ward off the Queensland sun's harmful rays. Jewellery was minimal yet statement-making - a painted wood & mother-of-pearl tribal cuff that some friends brought back from Cambodia.
