Finally sharing all the pictures from a wonderful evening spent at one of our all-time favourite places to dine in Brisbane - The Himalayan Cafe - with some dear friends. I'm posing amongst the stunning decor in a gorgeous dress from City Chic with black jersey bodice (complete with racer back detail) & a large-scale floral twill skirt with high/low hemline, AMAZING black leather & silver beaded pointy-toed flat mules from Witchery for a bit of nighttime sparkle & black suede roll-top clutch from Portmans to carry all the essentials while allowing fading into the background to allow the shoes to be the "hero" of the look, so to speak. When it came to jewellery, I went "all out" starting with the beautiful silver & onyx drop necklace from Tree of Life (thoughtfully gifted by our dinner companions), continuing with a pair of vintage brushed silver bangles that another friend brought back from his recent trip to India & finishing with a chunky faceted onyx cocktail ring from Inkuku Fair Trade in the heart of Ipswich to pick up on the small onyx beads inherent in the necklace.
