Following on from yesterday's Christmas Day pictures are yet more pictures from a beautiful Boxing Day in this absolutely stunning dress from cult-cool-girl brand Sheike! Made from interwoven pieces of white guipure lace with a darker, tan satin lining & lace straps (added by me), it is perfect for a special occasion in the Queensland summertime, particularly when styled up with a pair of beige leather & elastic gladiator-style stiletto heels from celebrated Australian label Wittner, a funky natural woven straw bucket bag with diamantes from the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique at the "top of town" in Ipswich & finally, vintage shell jewellery that a dear friend gave me for Christmas a few years ago - a chunky bangle made from a mosaic of shell pieces & a bracelet made from shell shards stacked on top of themesleves - to complete the look.

In addition to these gorgeous outfit pics, here are some snippets from my annual "Seasons Greetings from Sylvania" display (featuring my lifelong collecting obsession, my Sylvanian Families). For me, it really wouldn't be Christmastime without these little furry merry-makers...
