"Ambition & love wearing boxing gloves & singing hearts & flowers..."

As I was swanning around taking these photographs, I couldn't get that "Somewhere in my Heart" Aztec Camera new wave song (from 1987 no less!) out of my head... it's just so perfect for this dress... The soft pink, heart-quilted, satin empire-line bubble-cut smock dress with sweet little puff sleeves from whimsical British label Sister Jane just makes you feel so inordinately happy whenever you look at it - not least due to its strong princess vibes - particularly when mixed with a pair of vintage-inspired black matte & patent leather ankle boots with button detailing from Wittner, black 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs feeling toasty-warm & a handmade black guipure lace knot bag from a little boutique on Etsy. When it came to jewellery, I decided to add a funky, oversized white ceramic heart brooch from a local Brisbane maker that I picked up from the Queensland Art Gallery Store to really push the outfit over the top!
