Lately...

 

All dressed up & ready to head into the River City wearing a gorgeous maxi dress from Anthea Crawford's stunning collaboration with The Van Gogh Museum comprising of a black lace bodice with three-quarter-length sleeves & pleated waistline & "Butterflies & Poppies" (1889) printed silk maxi skirt, styled up with a funky upycled & handpainted kimono (gifted to me by a dear friend), a pair of black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner, 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz, a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials & a pair of chunky, boho silver & semi-precious stone rings from Tree of Life to complete the look.

A new "peaceful" addition to the menagerie...

Fairy Garden

*

Treating myself to a delicious Choc Chip Muffin from 40 West Cafe at Ripley...

*

Living that kombi van, traveler life... well, in my Sluban set-building dreams!

*

Big Mac & Fries always hits the spot!

*

Clearly an avid dollhouse collector...

*

And the obsession begins...

Part 1 of a trilogy & I'm already hooked!

*

Afternoons in the park with these awesome foam gliders from Kmart. Honestly, I wholeheartedly recommend them - so much fun for under $10, which is practically unheard of these days.

*

New obsession... I'll have the Coconut Milk Tea, please...

*

Heading out in this beautiful floral twill midi dress from Anthea Crawford, black mesh cardigan with three-quarter-sleeves & tie waist from (now defunct boutique) Leaf, black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner & a black leather & natural woven straw handbag from Witchery to complete the look.

*

Unexpected little gifts through the post!

*

Appreciating this soft shade of mauve...

*

Favourite film of all time ("The Goonies" runs a very close second, truth be told & "The Secret Garden" a very close third) & absolute FAVOURITE Lego set I've ever put together!

*

Rugged up for an event in the River City wearing this sublime soft floral jacquard mini smock dress with puff sleeves & tie neckline from whimsical British label Sister Jane, a black jersey skivvy from Miss Shop at Myer, black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner for height, 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs & knees (!) warm, a blush pink velvet knot bag from Shein to carry all the essentials (it's surprisingly roomy... the TARDIS of bags, if you will...) & a funky, resin brooch in the shape of an art deco orex from Erstwilder to complete the look.

*

Saving it for my summertime beach holiday... if I can wait that long...

*

Another day, another utterly divine little number from the Anthea Crawford x Van Gogh Museum collaboration - this time "Vase with Chinese Asters & Gladioli" (1886) printed onto a pleated mesh midi dress with long sleeves & styled up with a cropped black leather jacket from Just Jeans, black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner, 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz & a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan.
