Like the song intones, I'm feeling "pretty in pink" in this stunning, summery ensemble, styled up to attend a recent event in my beloved River City. I'm rewearing the utterly divine pink cotton puff-sleeve midi dress with its shirred bodice, tiered hemline & exposed back zipper from Aussie designer Aje (otherwise known as my Christmas dress in 2021) & I've added a pair of pink suede pointy-toed slingback low-heels with bow detailing from retro-inspired label Kitten D'Amour, a funky pink floral print cotton handmade shoulder bag with vintage-style clasp & brown leather strap from Ember & Twine boutique at the Top of Town precinct in Ipswich, a chunky wave-shaped art deco silver hinged bangle from Precious Stones Jewellers & a handcrafted square wooden bangle with the celebrated "Ring Poem" from Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" carved on it, gifted by a dear friend who recently returned from a trip to New Zealand where Peter Jackson's celebrated movie adaptations were filmed:

One ring to rule them all

One ring to find them

One ring to bring them all

And in the darkness, bind them
