So excited to be sharing all the pictures from a safari trip that I took in my hometown at the historic city of Ipswich's Tulmur Place, over the recent school holidays! All of the animatronics on loan from the Queensland Museum's collection (housed at the Railway Workshops, by all accounts) really brought the event to life & it was really special to follow it up with a leisurely mother/daughter meal at the delightful Rafter & Rose & a browse around the many little boutiques at the "top of town." 

For the occasion, I wore a sweet little indigo denim trapeze-style mini dress from a label called Pink Diamond that I picked up a the funky Don't Tell Boutique at West End as a pinafore with a white broderie englaise blouse with puff sleeves & a floral embroidered collar from Dangerfield underneath, a pair of tan leather ankle strap sandals from Rilassare that I discovered at Obsession Shoes (they have quickly become my absolute favourites & the ideal fusion of comfort & style) & a vintage 1960s tooled leather handbag from the USA (that made it through Woodstock & has a hippie picture of a girl with long, flowing hair) that some dear friends gave me years ago to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I wore some long-time favourites - a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles that some friends brought back as a souvenir years ago & a single silver vintage bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles that my younger brother gave me as a birthday gift.
