Southbank After Sunset

Dress: Wayne by Wayne Cooper lace, embroidery & elastane

Heels: Wittner leather with silver buckle

Bag: Nautica textured vinyl & nylon with silver hardware

Bangle: Gift, wood, beading (from India)

There's nothing better than a balmy Friday night spent enjoying the sights of Southbank Parklands with dear friends, particularly when it involves taking a spin on the Wheel of Brisbane to view the city lights of Brisbane, dipping tired feet into the lagoon while being lulled by gentle breezes, filling up on delicious deli-style fare from Brooklyn Depot & treating oneself to a hot, sugar & cinnamon coated churro while traipsing around the pop up markets stalls.

For the occasion, I decided to style up something just that little bit extra special in the monochrome colour palette that I have recently come to love, starting with an amazing fit-to-flare dress with deep v-neckline, high/low hem & chunky silver back zipper from Wayne by Wayne Cooper, made from a stunning white mesh lace with large-scale floral embroidery over the top & a thick black elastane lining for contrast... sophisticated with a beachy, bohemian vibe - just the way I like it. When it came to accessories, I chose to mix style & sophistication with a pair of black leather mule-style heels with silver buckles from Wittner & carried a small nylon & texture vinyl crossbody bag with silver hardware from Nautica to keep my hands free... you know, to hold the churro later on... Finishing the look with flourish, I wore a single chunky black wooden bangle with silver & mirrored beading that a friend brought back as a gift from a trip to India.

As always, scroll down to see how the rest of the evening unfolded...
