Avid readers of this blog will know that while I'm not a fan of summertime (it's far too hot & humid in Queensland), I am a fan of Christmas & all the wonderful traditions that the festive season has to offer. Recently, my cousin & I hit the shops with her two rambunctious munchkins to do some Christmas shopping (otherwise known as Santa-Wishlist-making) before enjoying a leisurely lunch of burgers & hot chips at Grill'd - some of us taking it more casually than others by donning their new swim googles - before heading home to trim the Christmas tree with our favourite festive songs blaring in the background.
To beat the heat, I donned this gorgeous & fresh-looking black & white picnic-blanket-checked cotton prairie-style midi dress with cold shoulder detailing & tiered hemline (sweet white lace added by me) from Aussie designer Sacha Drake, comfortable white leather gladiator sandals from Wittner & a white painted cane crossbody bag with leather strap that I picked up at Homestore Ashgrove to hold all the essentials while keeping my hands free for the wrangling of excitable children. When it came to jewellery, I wore a pair of beaded bracelets on each arm - on the left, black lava beaded bracelets with carved soapstone Buddha face from Gone Dotti & on the right, wooden beaded bracelets with silver charms & tassels from Emmala by Emma for that summery, bohemian touch.
