Lately...

Joyful smiles in a seriously cute cats & plants printed linen jumpsuit (altered into a playsuit by removing a good few inches from the hemline) from Princess Highway & a pair of comfortable burgundy suede Birkenstocks sandals...

All the "Princess Vibes" in this divine blue organza number from whimsical British label Sister Jane's diffusion line, Dream Sister Jane & a few mirror selfies in the bathroom next to my vintage/antique bathing ladies statues...

Another day, another funky jumpsuit from Princess Highway - this time in an azalea print! I've styled it up with a pair of black leather slingback sandals from Wittner (8 years & counting) & a black woven straw shoulder bag from Target to run some errands & get a little bob trim...

Always loved an eclectic mix of antique treasures, vintage kitsch & all things beautiful!

Hippie dippie sun-printed linen jumpsuit from Princess Highway, comfortable & eco conscious rope sandals from Maurie & Eve & "photobomb" by the furry interloper otherwise known as Scout... I don't know if any of my readers believe in nominative destiny (names determining personality/behaviour) but here's a little tip: don't name your cat after a precocious, risk-taking, act-first-think-later character from literature if you don't want that sort of behaviour in your home. She certainly is a feline version of Harper Lee's inquisitive & often exasperating heroine, Scout Finch...

Homemade fried rice, heavy on the soy sauce & oyster sauce, just how I like it...

Enjoying a leisurely lunch with my cousin at Beachhouse Bar & Grill after a spot of shopping at Orion Springfield... I'm wearing a gorgeous black cotton midi dress with shirred bodice & tie straps from Aje, a natural woven straw crossbody bag with tan leather strap from Renee Loves Frances & a pair of brass bangles - one vintage from The Way We Wore vintage fair & one newer option (made in India) from my local Tree of Life store.

Spending a Saturday with my younger brother, checking out the local antique shop before picking up some takeaway & heading home to stream the new "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" movie (spoiler alert: it was AWESOME; the ideal mix of humorous & heart-warming & the perfect way to honour the late, great Harold Ramis) in a bright & breezy apple-green silk/cotton art deco inspired midi dress from Witchery, a pair of black vegan leather dual buckle heels from Kitten D'Amour, a black vinyl shoulder bag from Urban Originals via TK Maxx, a silver cuff with green & yellow heather from Heathergems in Pitlochry, Scotland & an armful of vintage silver bangles to complete the look.

Feeling special in this vibrant red floral printed cotton voile midi-length smock from the delightful Daughters of India. The ultimate in slow fashion with its small batches & fair wages for those who make these beautiful garments. I've styled it up here for an appointment in town with a pair of black suede mules from Wittner, a lipstick red upcycled vinyl shoulder bag from Country Road & a silver hinged bangle from celebrated Australian jewellery Wallace Bishop...
