Mother of All Celebrations

I'm so excited to share all the beautiful pictures from a Mothers Day spent celebrating a wonderful woman while paying tribute to those mothers, grandmothers, Godmothers & mother figures who couldn't be with us today for a variety of reasons. After attending an inspiration Church service in Moorooka, we headed to a sweet little family-owned cafe in Greenslopes called Jam Pantry for a leisurely brunch.

For the occasion, I donned a gorgeous, retro-inspired monochrome spotted polyester/elastane jumpsuit from girly Aussie label Review with sophisticated bateau neckline, dipped back detailing & wide-legged palazzo 3/4 pants, cinched in at the waist with a shiny patent leather cinch belt from Hell Bunny via That Shop in Carindale & partially covered by (at least in the chill of the morning) a sumptuous champagne/silver silk "cocoon" cut anorak with silver hardware by Marilyn Seyb that I picked up in a little boutique on James Street in Fortitude Valley that has unfortunately now closed. When it came to accessories, I chose a pair of black laser cut leather heeled sandals from Wittner to elongate my frame while still providing comfort, carried a matching black leather shoulder bag from a funky little store in the Wintergarden called Pigeonhole & kept my jewellery simple with one statement piece - a chunky silver "wave" hinged bangle from Precious Stones Jewellers that added the final, art deco touch to the entire ensemble.
