Sometimes all the best made plan can go awry due to unforeseen circumstances & the Christmas season is no exception. Due to an illness in the family, our Boxing Day get together had to be postponed for a week or so but I'm happy to finally be posting snippets from the day!

For the occasion - a lunch & present exchange in my aunt's beautiful back garden - I donned this stunning ivory textured chiffon tiered midi dress with tie straps from whimsical British label Sister Jane's premium diffusion line, Dream Sister Jane for that special, celebratory "swish" feeling, a pair of vibrant blue leather bow heels from a brand called Isabella that I discovered at the delightful Tides Boutique at Burleigh Heads while on holidays & carried a natural woven straw shoulder bag (pictured a little bit later on) from my local Target store to carry all the essentials including a face mask & hand sanitizer. When it came to jewellery, I wore some favourites - a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles that some dear friends gave me & some matching vintage shell pieces in the form of a stretch bracelet & chunky bangle from the 1970s & finished the look with a pair of awesome cream plastic cat's eye sunglasses from the newly opened Ghanda store at Indooroopilly.
