All the beautiful pictures from a morning spent traversing historical Ipswich, stopping off for coffee at one of my favourite spots - Stella Rossa - before heading to the art gallery to take a little peek at any new exhibits & then enjoying a leisurely browse through my favourite boutiques including Oh Jo Jo, Obsession Shoes, Cute 2 Boot, Vintage Advantage, New Age Rocks n Stuff & Trottie Becke... For the occasion, I've donned a bright & breezy blue floral linen/cotton midi dress with button-through bodice & tie belt from Forever New, a pair of tan leather pointy-toed mules from Wittner for a modicum of height without sacrificing comfort, a tan leather crossbody bag from cult Aussie accessories label Elk that I discovered at Mott & Mulberry at Indooroopilly a few years ago to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free (ostensibly to hold coffee...) & finally, a chunky & very, very looooooong colourful & eclectic beaded necklace - looped around twice - from my local Tree of Life store.

Flower Power

Top: Princess Highway cotton

Pants: Princess Highway corduroy

Mules: Wittner leather

Bag: Elk via Mott & Mulberry leather

Reveling in those late 1960s "flower power" vibes with a vintage-inspired ensemble that I picked up from my local Dangerfield store on mega sale! I'm determined to wear it as many times as possible before the weather becomes too hot & I'm forced to save it for wintertime 2024. The amazing Princess Highway green & brown floral corduroy pants (cropped into 3/4 length) truly make a statement when worn with the matching sleeveless vest, a white cotton boho-prairie-style floaty top underneath, a pair of tan leather pointy-toed mules from Wittner on my feet for a modicum of height & a tan leather crossbody bag from Elk (discovered at the delightful Mott & Mulberry boutique at Indooroopilly) to carry all the essentials.

Revisiting the 1990s with fashion this season... I'm leaning right into this new/old grunge trend & reveling in all the moody vibes by stomping around a local park wearing a dark floral chiffon v-neck pleated mini dress from Forever New that I've cinched in with a satin & elastic bow belt from That Shop, a pair of black matte leather booties from Wittner for height, 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 vintage silver pieces - a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly of Coolangatta, now of Tweed Heads) & a stack of Mexican silver bangles that were given to me by some friends who now reside overseas.
