Ready for the second installment of my Gold Coast photographs? I thought so! Scroll down for more of our adventures & remember to keep checking back for the next THREE DAYS...
Iron Eagle of the Kirra Lookout
Posing under the rotunda on the way to Kirra Beach wearing a white & teal checked brushed cotton 50s style dress with tie belt from Laura Ashley; white mesh three-quarter-sleeved cardigan from Yarra Trail (purchased many years ago from DFO Jindalee); sport-luxe black & teal joggers from Adidas & a white vinyl cross-body bag with silver hardware from Forever New. Jewellery was the lynch-pin that drew the look together: a pair of teal, black & white beaded bracelets from Oxfam & a matching beaded "flower" ring that I picked up from a market stall at the Ipswich Show.
H-U-G-E Pulled Pork & Slaw Burger with BBQ Sauce & Side of Beer Battered Chips from Kirra Beach Hotel... Let's just say - you don't go home hungry!
Having a "Sound of Music" moment near the dunes...
This particular man is WINNING at life, in my opinion! He has his pushbike with surfboard strapped to the top for both use & sun protection, as well as a little basket on the front for one dog & another on the back for the other. He rides from his little house down to the beach for a surf every single day before sitting at the amusingly-named "Table of Knowledge" with some other old "sea dogs" who dispense surfing advice to "grommets" regularly.

Afternoon rockpool exploration in a red & silver thread empire-line dress with large circular linen patch from Laika by Dogstar (not currently season, unfortunately); bohemian woven waterfall jacket from Tree of Life; clear glitter plastic "jelly" sandals (the kind my mother would NEVER let me wear as a child, but that's another story...) & blue vinyl cross-body bag from Sportsgirl.
Looking back at Greenmount...

Beautiful Balcony Sunset
*
Hanging out on the balcony in a symphony of rather muted tones: a pale blue broderie englaise midi dress with thin tie belt from Basque at Myer; printed chiffon three-quarter-sleeved kimono with back cut-outs from City Chic; woven sandshoes from Sandpiper (via Se Bliss at Coolangatta) & a blue vinyl cross-body bag from Sportsgirl to carry all of the essentials. Turkish jewellery was the order of the day, it seemed - an armful of beaded "protection against the evil eye" bracelets from Ahmet's Turkish Restaurant at Southbank & a matching chunky ring from the Chapel Hill Fete.

A vintage style, printed cotton fit-to-flare dress from Certif Vintage at That Shop; black mesh three-quarter-sleeved cardigan from Yarra Trail; black woven sandals from Sandpiper; white vinyl cross-body bag with silver hardware from Forever New & a chunky, moulded resin "coral" cuff from Paniyiri 2016.
