Nope, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke... I actually DID go & see the Lego Batman movie on the first of the month! To celebrate someone's 38th birthday (ahem, he shall remain nameless... yet features in a couple of the following photographs) my best friend Belinda & I took her husband & two boys for a school holiday excursion to the local shopping centre, culminating in a delicious lunch at Nantucket's Kitchen & Bar. 

Anyhoo, I'm posing with the Caped Crusader himself in the theatre lobby wearing a gorgeous large-scale floral fit-to-flare twill dress from Anthea Crawford (it was my Christmas dress, click here for reference), pattern-mixed small-scale floral silk/satin bomber jacket with zipper & pearlised vinyl handbag with gold hardware from Forever New (the ideal weight for the air-conditioning), sparkly gold sandals with a slight wedge heel from C'est Bon at Williams the Shoemen & a chunky pink & gold bangle with diamante edges & Cheshire Cat charms from Disney Couture's Alice in Wonderland collection.

Now, because there's no such thing as too much birthday (unless you happen to talk to the Berenstain Bears), here are a few pictures of little Oliver opening his second birthday present (from moi) that same afternoon...
