Finally sharing all the bright & breezy pictures from a rather blustery day at Paddington in my beloved River City, browsing around the many boutiques along Latrobe & Given Terraces, hanging out at Trammie's Corner to take in the views while finishing my banana smoothie from Java Lounge & rummaging through both collectibles & kitsch at Empire Antiques. For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous, drenched orange organza puff-sleeve mini smock with plaiting detail & soft cotton lining from Aussie designer label Aje, styled up with a pair of tan leather heeled sandals with ankle straps from a label called Rilassare that I discovered at Obsession Shoes at the "top of town" in Ipswich & a vintage 1960s tooled tan leather handbag that some dear friends gave me as a birthday gift a few years ago to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I donned a stunning bohemian dream beaded necklace with Tibetan pendant from Retro Metro Paddington, a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles, a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles & a beautiful silver & amber cocktail ring from the lovely ladies at Precious Stones Jewellers to complete the look.
