Finally sharing all the sweet pictures from a morning spent traipsing around the labyrinth that is IKEA, doing some measuring, making some lists, picking up some goodies & leaving with some delicious meatballs, mashed potato & sauce mix for dinner! To ward off the chill in the Queensland morning air, I'm wearing a gorgeous woven black, red & blue baroque-print heavyweight cotton midi dress with buttons from Adorne that I picked up at Melina's Boutique in the township of Rosewood, a vibrant red knitted wrap cardigan with fringing from Trottie Becke for a pop of colour, a pair of black matte & patent leather loafers with tassels from a label called Pitillos that I discovered at Obsession Shoes last winter & have since become my go-to cold weather shoe, a black leather crossbody bag from Pigeonhole to carry all the essentials & a chunky vintage silver bangle with blue & red semi-precious stones to pick up on the colours in the dress print for a cohesive overall look.
