The birthday celebrations continue with a leisurely morning tea with family under the pergola in the balmy mid-Autumn weather. This time, I'm bringing the circus vibes & wearing a funky multi-pastel-striped denim pinafore with silver buttons down the front from cult label Gorman, a pair of black leather Birkenstock sandals & an amazing resin brooch depicting a sunbathing lady under a (you guessed it) striped umbrella that a dear family friend gave me a few years ago to complete the look.

Even more celebrations with a ladies-only coffee & cake morning with a dear family friend at our local Brothers Leagues Club. I'm wearing a gorgeous navy & light blue floral guipure lace mini dress from celebrated Australian label Anthea Crawford, styled up with a pair of navy leather sandals from Obsession Shoes for a modicum of height, a navy woven paper handbag from Sussan for that bohemian touch & a trio of gold bangles from Lovisa for some daytime shine.

Yet more celebrations with an afternoon spent at the arcade with my cousin & one of her rambunctious munchkins! After fortifying ourselves with gelato (not pictured... eaten way too fast for that) we headed to General Public to enjoy the sights, sounds & adrenaline of a myriad of games including my absolute favourite... the "Super Bikes." For the occasion, I wore a monochrome polka dotted stretch pique 60s-style mini shift dress from Sacha Drake, comfortable yet stylish black leather Eos sandals from Obsession Shoes, an upcycled denim crossbody bag from a stall at the Eumundi Markets to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free as well as a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles that some dear friends brought back from overseas & a single thicker vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly Coolangatta, now Tweed Heads) that was a gift from my younger brother.

You know the drill by now... keep scolling for more...
