Finally sharing all the pictures from a recent antiquing trip with my younger brother, hitting up some of our all-time favourite places to rummage around in Brisbane - Empire Antiques & Relove Oxley, respectively - & enjoying a leisurely lunch at the delightful Farm House Kedron while the rain set in around us! For the occasion, I'm wearing a retro-inspired black & pink rose print cotton 50s midi dress from British label The Pretty Dress Company that I picked up a few years ago from That Shop, a bright pink mesh tie-front cropped cardigan from Ginger Tree that I've had for at least ten years & is still going strong, a pair of black patent & matte leather heeled loafers with tassles from a label called Pitillos that I discovered at the amazing Obesssion Shoes at the "top of town" in Ipswich for that modicum of height my five foot frame desperately needs & a black leather shoulder bag from funky boutique Pigeonhole to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I couldn't resist some of my most beloved silver pieces - a stack of vintage Mexican bangles from dear friends, a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles that my younger brother gave me for a birthday gift & a brushed silver cuff from Wallace Bishop to bring all the daytime shine.

Can't resist the call of the potato rosti wherever I go...
