This bright & beautiful ensemble was an ideal choice for spending a balmy afternoon with my darling Goddaughter, opening presents & celebrating all things festive. Putting together something similar yourself - for any of you still searching for that elusive perfect Christmas Day look - really could not be any simpler; merely 4 main "pieces" & you're good to go!

1. THE DRESS: A relaxed shape with tie straps made from a silk fabric printed with large-scale tropical flowers in a pleasing, vibrant colour palette. This Jane Lamerton offering from Myer makes a Summertime statement without even trying.

2. THE SHOES: Comfortable kitten heels, leather straps in a soft metallic shade for day & embellished t-bar straps for that touch of casual sparkle, these Bare Traps beauties from Simona Ricci draw the eye downwards & elongate the frame. (A total fashion WIN for me as I'm only 5 feet tall.)

3. THE BAG: Vivid in a shade taken from the pattern of the dress to create a sense of cohesion. This tiny treasure comes from one of the many Lubentan Market stalls & cost less than $10.

4. THE JEWELLERY: Stacked up for a bit of an "arm party," these Indian bangles (gifted by a friend who currently lives over there) provide daytime sparkle for an otherwise rather casual look.

Now that all the fashion is sorted, scroll down for a peek at how the afternoon unfolded:

Absolutely LOVING the Lil Woodzeez Happy Camper & Tickle Your Tastebuds Bakery as well as the Fox & Hedgehog Families!
