Lately

 





Playground daze wearing a gorgeous red floral cotton Portmans mini dress, comfortable yet stylish tan vegan leather sandals from Obsession Shoes & a pink-painted cane circular crossbody bag with leather strap from Renee Loves Frances to carry all the essentials... like sunscreen & coins for coffee, as evidenced below...



*





All business for a proofreading event in my beloved River City wearing this stunning navy floral jacquard shirt dress with self-tie belt from celebrated Aussie designer Anthea Crawford, black vegan leather deco-style heels with buttons & matching natural woven handbag with black resin beaded handle from Kitten D'Amour, a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles & a single silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles for that touch of daytime shine.



Taco Tuesday... my favourite day of the week!

*



In my "happy place" aka a dressing room wearing sweet, sweet blue & white gingham from Oh Jo Jo Boutique, tan leather sandals from Obsession Shoes & a woven straw crossbody bag from a little hippie boutique that used to be next door to my hairdresser.

*



Art for Art's Sake in this stunning museum/antiquities print mesh maxi dress with ruching from Sheike, styled up for an art exhibition with a pair of beige leather lace-up heels from Jo Mercer, beige vinyl pouch bag from TK Maxx & the aforementioned silver jewellery... with the addition of the bamboo bangle from a boutique in Mooloolaba.

*





Short & sweet in this rose-printed organza puff ball dress with tiered hemline & ruffled neck from Scandinavian label Ganni, worn with a pair of deep red vegan leather t-bar heels with buttons & bows from "girly" label Kitten D'Amour, a floral beaded handbag from Rachel Zoe via TK Maxx, a handmade pewter, beads & crystal cuff from a maker from Paris that I found at the beautiful Lannah Dunn & a matching Swarovski crystal & silver ring for that touch of daytime sparkle.

*







A day at West End wearing white broderie cotton from Zjoosh, a pair of tan leather sandals from Obsession Shoes, a vintage tan tooled leather handbag from the 1960s that some dear friends gave me & chunky beaded tribal necklace from Tree of Life for a pop of colour... perfect for traipsing around the boutiques & enjoying a sweet treat at Anita Gelato...



*





Drop-waisted for the WIN! Always loved this silhouette & this gorgeous printed silk number from Whyte Oak at DFO Jindalee is just right for a morning spent shopping with my mother. I've styled it up by using the belt as a necktie & adding a pair of lemon/lime leather sandals from Eos (via Obsession Shoes, of course), a natural woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On to carry all the essentials & my usual jewellery pieces.

A morning in "top of town" Ipswich, having coffee & browsing in this stunning pink floral jacquard drop-waist mini dress from Gorman!

Gorman again! This time in shades of green & blue embroidered cotton...

Paddington for the day in some monochrome magic - a voluminous checked cotton mini dress with puff sleeves from Australian designer Aje, a pair of mushroom leather sandals from Alfie & Evie, a black vinyl cylindrical handbag from Beach n Beyond at Coolangatta.

Ladylike in a stunning floral stretch silk crepe from celebrated Aussie label Cue, a pair of lemon/lime leather sandals from Eos, natural woven straw handbag with black leather clasp from Witchery & some favourite silver jewellery pieces - including a gorgeous turquoise beaded necklace from Tree of Life for an unexpected bohemian touch...

Long live vintage! Styling up this amazing silk dress from the 1960s (found at Ipswich Antique Centre years ago now) with a pair of modern leather mules from Obsession Shoes & a yellow vinyl cylindrical handbag from Oh Jo Jo Boutique...
