So, without further ado, here's what you missed:

*

Dress: Gabriella Fratini silk

Sandals: Bare Traps @ Simona Ricci leather & embellishment

Bag: Adorne vinyl

Hinged Bangle: Wallace Bishop silver & elastic

Ring: Sportsgirl silver

*

Heading out for the afternoon wearing a Spode-china-style print dress with cute pussy-bow neckline detail, silver embellished sandals with stacked kitten-heels & a matching silver handbag. 

Keeping the silver theme going with a chunky hinged bangle & teeny tiny pineapple ring. I love the way the juxtaposition of sizing provides visual interest...

Baby meets Penguin. 

Enjoying "cuteness overload" while babysitting Sweet Baby James...

Dress: Jacqui E chiffon, satin & lace

Heels: Target patent

Bag: Target vinyl

Beaded Bracelets: Lovisa faux pearls

Cuff: Chinatown Markets silver & fabric flower

Wrist Wrap: Sea Wish, Coolangatta

*

Jewel brights meet pastels with this inspired combination: a floaty orange chiffon shift with lace neckline & straps mixed with a pair of structured, pointy-toed patent pumps & a shoulder bag in mint pastel. Clearly, opposites on the "Colour Wheel" really DO attract!

Eclectic jewellery in shades of gold, green & white - faux pearl bracelets, faux flower cuff & beaded tribal wrist wrap...

"...to take you in the sun to promised lands, to show you every one; it's the time of the season for loving..."

Time of the Season - The Zombies (1968)

Grooving to smooth 1960s sounds on a sunny, Autumn morning...

Laundry Day 1973... or my latest haul of vintage dresses...

Love the smell of fabric softener floating on the breeze.

Dress: Suzanne Grae jersey & chiffon

Wedge Sandals: Betts for Her suede

Clutch: Sportsgirl vinyl & studs

Studded Bangles: Tree of Life bronze, silver

Wrap Bangle: Autograph chrome & diamante

*

Black + Chrome + Studded = Edgy

This equation proved to be true when statement accessories - lace up wedges, "heavy metal" clutch & a selection of studded & chrome bangles "edged up" this casual jersey & chiffon bubble-hem smock (an absolute bargain for $25 in the sales) to make it appropriate for dinner at a local restaurant.

...And the necessary post-haircut selfie with a darker red lip...

Dress: Jane Lamerton silk

Heels: Sandler patent

Handbag: Adorne vinyl

Bangles: Tree of Life woven thread

*

Mixing a bright, hibiscus print silk shift - featuring tie straps & sweet back-of-the-neck bow - with an equally bright handbag & armful of boho style woven thread bangles for late night shopping during a heatwave... Note the way I have worn beige/flesh tone, mid-heel platforms with the look so they blend in & lengthen my legs whilst providing me with a modicum of extra height...
