If you've read this blog for the last few years, you'll know how much I adore the phenomenon of the retro James Bond books & films & have attended, on occasion, other events celebrating the men who have played the ubiquitous secret agent & the so-called "Bond Girls" who provide the femininity, fashion & opportunity for innuendo... In this particular instance, I was "shaken but not stirred" to experience The Music of James Bond at Queensland Performing Arts Complex (QPAC) featuring stellar performances by Luke Kennedy & Kate Ceberano belting out hits such as Goldfinger, Live & Let Die, View to a Kill & For Your Eyes Only backed by full symphonic sound.

For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous floral mesh wiggle dress with satin lining & ruffled hemline from celebrated Aussie designer Anthea Crawford, blush pink leather pointy-toed heels with laces from Wittner, retro-inspired blue vinyl & pink tweed handbag with gold hardware & navy faux fur pompom bag charm from Review with floral printed silk scarf (also from Anthea Crawford) tied around the handles & finally, some Disney Couture gold & resin jewellery to complete the look - a hinged bangle depicting the castle, well & pumpkin carriage from 1950's Cinderella & pink bangle with gold charms depicting the Cheshire Cat from 1951's Alice in Wonderland.
