So elated to share all the beautiful pictures from recent family gathering celebrating my wonderful sister-in-law's birthday with a delicious takeaway meal from DeeDot Coffee House at Holland Park on the balcony in the sunshine, homemade apricot loaf for dessert (birthday girl's choice) & presents galore!

For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous dark floral print super-soft rayon empire-line midi dress with short sleeves (tied up with bows) and ruching & shell buttons underneath the bustline from my local Tree of Life store, a vibrant red knitted cardigan with asymmetrical draped neckline & fringing by a label called Lilia that I discovered at Temptations Boutique at Winston Glades, black matte leather heeled ankle boots from Wittner for a modicum of height with the volume of the dress' skirt, black 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs feeling toasty & a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I chose some of my favourite silver pieces - a vintage bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly at Coolangatta) gifted by my younger brother & a stack of Mexican bangles (seven in all) that were given to me by some dear friends who live overseas - to complete the look & add a little daytime shine.
