With the weather rapidly cooling in Queensland at the moment - fingers crossed we don't have another one of those unseasonal Autumn heatwaves - I decided to post some pictures of one of my favourite outfits from the Summer season. Easy, breezy & beautiful; it comprises of only pieces, carefully curated to create an impact...

The gorgeous vintage Mexican mini-dress from the late 1960s, made of navy calico & vividly embroidered with multi-coloured flower designs, is the perfect mix of sweet & sassy, with a casual vibe that is only enhanced by the edition of "beachy," boho accessories such as this pair of tan leather "Jesus" sandals & funky calico bag that was a gift from some dear family friends for Christmas 2014. Check them out in detail below:

Accessories also had a relaxed, "tribal" flavour with a statement cuff on each forearm. On the left, a moulded silver elephant head depicting Ganesh, the Hindu god of good fortune & on the right, a vintage silver Tibetan cuff set with the semi-precious stone carnelian in a brilliant shade of orange. Scroll down for close-ups of each in turn:
