Ooh La La! I'm so excited to share all the pictures of the outfit I wore to a recent performance of "Cabaret de Paris" at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) styled around this amazing floral jacquard v-neck fit-to-flare dress with high/low hemline accented with spider lace from Anthea Crawford. To ward off the early springtime chill, I placed a thick crepe capelet with oversized silver button from Country Road around my shoulders, donned a pair of high heeled black patent leather ankle boots from Wittner on my feet & carried a boxy suede & leather handbag with silver hardware from French Connection. As a finishing touch, I added a pair of black floral stretch lace fingerless gloves with diamante detailing from Alannah Hill for flair...

Finally posting all the sweet pictures from a dear little person's third birthday family party... where he was lucky enough to receive a balance bike (with working elephant horn!) from a certain stylish aunty - not to mention the $7 dinosaur foil helium balloon that (typically) seemed to be the favourite gift of the day...

Posing among the greenery in the birthday boy's grandmother's lush, verdant back garden (the overcast sky & recent pouring rain certainly a welcome boost) wearing a gorgeous duck-egg-blue floral chiffon tiered midi-length dress with v-neckline, button detailing & fluted sleeves from Aussie small business, Little Party Dress cinched in with a wide, black patent leather belt from That Shop at Coolangatta & a pair of black leather "cage" heeled sandals from Wittner for the perfect combination of sturdy & stylish.

Well, now that the fashion details are out of the way, scroll down to see how the rest of the morning unfolded...

Opening some presents...

ROAR! Nothing better than a home-cooked, home-decorated cake... particularly if it's covered in dinosaurs!

New shoes... dinosaur-themed, of course...

You know what they say: It's not a great party unless you end up with your (thankfully, clean) underwear on your head at some point...
