All dressed up for a leisurely family lunch at our local Brothers Leagues Club wearing a gorgeous vintage-inspired polka dot printed ramie midi dress with cinch belt & black grosgrain ribbon straps (added by me) from celebrated Australian label Portmans, styled up with a pair of blue leather stiletto heeled mules from Alfie & Evie with matching blue vinyl crossbody bag from Vera May (both picked up from the delightful Obsession Shoes at the "top of town" in Ipswich) for a pop of pastel colour, a stack of sparkly gold, silver & blue enamel bangles that a dear friend brought back from a trip to India many years ago, a single gold plated bangle from Lovisa that another lovely family friend gave me as a thoughtful birthday gift & finally, a vintage silver & enamel light-up "peace sign" mood ring to complete the look & add a little daytime shine to the celebrations!
Filling our bellies with delicious fare...
Washing it all down with a strawberry gin fizz cocktail...
Home for a piece of birthday pie - my favourite, Condensed Milk & Lemon - lovingly made by my mother...

Quick costume change to get ready for some nighttime festivities in this funky balloon animal printed organza puff-sleeve mini dress with bow detailing & trailing "tails" from Dangerfield, styled up with a pair of vibrant blue patent leather sandals from Alfie & Evie via Obsesssion Shoes for a modicum of height, a sparkly silver mesh pouch bag from Sacha Drake to carry all the essentials, same stack of sparkly Indian beaded & enamelled bangles (gifted many years ago by a dear friend) as well as a chunky vintage silver & enamel bangle covered in tiny mirrored mosaic pieces that I picked up a few years ago from Empire Revival (formerly Paddington Antique Centre) & finally, a jaunty little glittered party hat with oversized pompom that was a handmade by a lovely seller on Etsy that I recieved as a birthday gift a few years ago now that provided the ultimate "finishing touch" to the look.
