Finally sharing all the pictures of this beautiful baroque-inspired maxi dress from boho-luxe Australian designer Camilla that I recently wore to an event in my beloved River City! Cooler temperatures have never dissuaded me from wearing bright & beautiful floral prints of every size, shape, colour & material & this gorgeous cotton dress with its black floral stretch lace waistband & cuffs, deep v-neckine & subtle diamantes on the back yolk had my heart the very moment I laid eyes on it! I've styled it up with a pair of black leather & elastic gladiator-style heels from Wittner for a modicum of height, a vintage red leather crossbody bag (label unknown) from a seller on online emporium Etsy & a chunky green lucite coiled snake bangle with red diamante eye from Mrs Polly's Lucite (given to me by some dear friends) to complete the look.

Finally sharing a peek at the beautiful pictures from a recent wedding in the Gold Coast hinterland on what was probably THE rainiest day of the holidays! Despite the weather - which I personally enjoyed once we'd finished traversing the winding roads & made it to our destination as the raindrops settling on surfaces made for sparkling, special photographs - it was an afternoon & evening filled with joy & merriment & it was lovely to witness the love between two special young people as they continue their lives as husband & wife. It was quite magical sitting underneath the teepees with the family while drinking margaritas, eating delicious Spanish fare from the Paella Man & listening to the live jazz band as the sun began to set.

For the occasion, I wore a stunning black & red baroque floral cotton puff sleeve maxi dress with black stretch lace waistline, high front split & diamante detailing from celebrated Australian designer Camilla, a pair of black leather & elastic gladiator-style kitten heels from Wittner for a modicum of height & a black vinyl cylindrical shoulder bag from Beach n Beyond at Coolangatta that I added a handmade satin, rope & beading "martini glass" charm to for that extra festive touch. When it came to jewellery, I added a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles that some dear friends gave me on one wrist & a stack of white & silver beaded bracelets with starfish charms from Saltwater Silver on the other to complete the look.
