Exploring all that the newly refurbished Pacific Fair has to offer with a mother/daughter shopping trip to the shopping mecca. As soon as I saw the gorgeous Chinese lanterns around the water feature, I just had to pose in my awesome blue & white checked linen pantsuit from Gorman with its wide-legged pants, deep v-neckline & tie belt, white leather heeled sandals from Wittner, navy vinyl crossbody bag with pompoms on the strap & silver hardware from French Connection & bohemian accessories - a silver & shell bead bracelet from Du Monde in Paddington & chunky Tibetan silver bracelet from a little boutique in Maleny - to complete the ensemble & add those hippie vibes that avid readers will already know I truly adore.

Keep scrolling to see the shenanigans we got up to!

Oh So Retro!

Afternoons on the balcony in the breeze wearing the same Gorman linen pantsuit as the morning mixed with a white cotton longline sleeveless ruffled vest from Dinki Di Discounts (fabric belt tied around both to show off the smallest part of my waist), white leather heeled sandals from Wittner & chunky Tibetan silver bracelet from that litle boutique in Maleny.

Taking the long way to get my gelato fix at Messina with a quick stop at Point Danger's Captain Cook Memorial wearing a funky navy & cream spotted cotton drawstring smock with voluminous sleeves from Aussie designer Lee Mathews, cream elastane slip from Taking Shape underneath for warmth & modesty, tan leather gladiator sandals from Wittner & a cream woven bracelet with wood beads from a little market stall (the name of which I can't remember) at Coolangatta some years ago.
