Finally sharing all the beautiful pictures from a leisurely morning spent brunching at Graceville before checking out some of the local antique stores with my wonderful parents. It was so lovely to be able to safely dine together at the delightful Hunter & Scout (across the road from the train station) & of course, I made sure to dress up for the occasion, wearing the stunning Wild Roses Stretch Suiting Shift Dress from the recent collaboration between celebrated Australian label Anthea Crawford & the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Honestly, this particular collection is the kind of thing you'll keep for a lifetime; it's that timeless & truly, truly that special. In these sweet pictures (taken outside the Sherwood Bazaar antique store) you can see that I've styled it up with a vintage-inspired fuzzy white cropped cardigan & soft gold vegan leather deco heels from Kitten D'Amour, a natural woven straw handbag from H&M to carry all the essentials including the obligatory hand sanitizer, an amazing jade beaded Wanfu Jade bracelet, a jade bangle from the markets that my brother brought home from a trip to Shanghai a few years ago & finally, a black woven hemp facemask from Oroton.

Keep scrolling for a peek at the utterly divine dining situation at Hunter & Scout... wonderful atmosphere, great customer service, reassuring adherence to Covid Safe plans, delicious selection of fresh dishes, amazing smoothies. I'm thinking it's going to become one of our favourite haunts...

Finally sharing all the beautiful pictures from an overcast morning spent wandering beside the Brisbane River on a walking track in Graceville, beginning at Simpsons Playground Reserve. I'm wearing a gorgeous white broderie cotton trapeze dress with high neckline, tie back detailing & midi-length ruffled hem from Asos White, a cropped navy & silver metallic knitted cardigan from girly Aussie label Review, a funky pair of Limited Edition indigo denim & white rubber Converse high top sneakers with black words stating "Life's Too Short To Waste" to bring awareness to environmental sustainability in the fashion industry & a black vegan leather crossbody bag with silver hardware from Urban Originals to carry all of the essentials.

Finally sharing all the pictures from a Sunday spent brunching at Three Girls Skipping in Graceville with the family. I'm posing up a storm next to a piece of streetscape artwork in a gorgeous floral stretch cotton midi dress with ruffled cold-shoulder detailing from Anthea Crawford, black leather sandals with woven espadrille-style wedge heels from Jo Mercer (ideal for gaining height while remaining comfortable), kitschy "Biscuit Shop" vegan leather handbag with brass hardware from Vendula London (gifted to me by some dear friends) for a touch of pattern-mixing & finally, a pair of vintage brass bangles that I picked up years ago from The Way We Wear fashion fair to complete the look.

But first, coffee... well, Chai Latte to be specific...
