Happy to be out & about doing some of my usual activities like having a fresh haircut & colour at my beloved Krop Hair. I'm posing in the carpark (next to one of my favourite places to grab a piping hot chai latte, Hello Garry Espresso) wearing a gorgeous, vibrant floral polyblend midi dress from Anthea Crawford, soft green chunky knitted cardigan from Cotton On (word to the wise - unless you want to be literally "swimming" in it, size waaaay down as this is an extra small) to ward off the chill in the air, a pair of shiny navy patent loafers from Paul Green via Peter Sheppard Shoes to provide a modicum of height & finally, a navy neoprene shoulder bag with navy & white strap & silver hardware from Piper at my local Myer store.

Fathers Day 2020

So elated to be sharing some gorgeous pictures from our recent Father's Day festivities at home. It was so wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate this man that we all love so very much, albeit socially-distanced thanks to the Covid cluster that unfortunately appeared just prior to the day & without my younger brother & sister-in-law, who will help us mark the day with a family dinner at one of our favourite restaurants when this virus nightmare is all over, but still kept in touch via video chat.

Cardigan: Kitten d'Amour fuzzy knit

For the occasion, I'm wearing a beautiful vintage-style white, purple, blue & orange floral fit-to-flare midi dress from Aussie label Gigi's Fairy Fashion with a cropped black fuzzy cardigan with three-quarter-length sleeves from Kitten d'Amour to ward off the slight chill in the air, a pair of funky light purple vegan leather slingback heels with sweet rounded toes from Gorman & a handmade, chunky bracelet with three-dimensional busts of Greco/Roman women that some dear friends gifted me for my birthday earlier in the year to complete the look.
