Finally sharing all the gorgeous, sunlit pictures from a day exploring the coastal suburb of Sandgate with a dear friend & her adventurous munchkin. I'm posing in front of the historical gazebo - right in the middle of town, in Sandgate War Memorial Park - wearing a beautiful rose printed, stretch black lace dress from Anthea Crawford, matching burgundy glitter knit cropped cardigan & scarf from funky Australian label Metallicus, shiny black patent flatform brogues from Nine West (for that mixture of comfort & style) & a black nylon & textured vinyl crossbody bag from Nautica to keep my hands free.

Looking so grown up all of a sudden! Where does the time go?!

Nothing like a big, juicy fish burger when you've spent all day shopping up a storm by the ocean...

Posing beside one of my all-time favourite beverages - a pearl milk tea - wearing a gorgeous viola printed neoprene midi dress from Anthea Crawford, soft blue knitted cardigan from Target (clearly becoming my cold-weather staple), shiny black patent flatform brogues from Nine West & a nylon & textured vinyl crossbody bag from Nautica to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free... evidently for this kind of nonsense...

Finally sharing pictures of the wonderful New Year's weekend spent with some dear friends & their little munchkin! In an effort to escape the heat & encroaching storm, we headed to Chermside Shopping Centre to take advantage of the last of the Boxing Day sales & here I am, taking a break in the food court area wearing my all-time favourite floral glitter twill fit-to-flare dress from Anthea Crawford, comfortable yet stylish black leather peeptoe heeled sandals with silver buckles from Wittner, black leather & blue denim crossbody bag from Nine West to carry all the essentials & finally, a bohemian silver & semi-precious stone cuff from a store called Emte on James Street, Burleigh Heads that I purchased a few years ago.

No more paparazzi, please!
