Finally sharing all the pictures from a morning spent celebrating all things "Sesame Street" with a live performance & sing-a-long for the young & young-at-heart! For the last 55 years, this stalwart of educational television has captured the hearts & minds of children & adults all around the world with its mix of live action, puppetry (courtesy of Jim Henson & Frank Oz's beloved Muppets), animation, singing, dancing & storytelling & doesn't show any signs of slowing down anytime soon with toys, books & even Lego sets still being produced & released in record quantities. As a long-time fan who fondly remembers the Christmas that Santa bought a Big Bird Talking Tape Player for me - definitely showing my age as a child of the 80s here - as well as five Sesame Streets books for everyone's favourite giant yellow fellow to read full of stories of Bert & Ernie, Grover, Oscar the Grouch & Snuffleupagus to name a few, this was a literal DREAM COME TRUE & so I dressed for the occasion. 

I'm wearing a cute rainbow spotted organza puff-sleeve midi dress from Aussie online emporium Little Party Dress with a pair of lipstick red vegan leather round-toe heels with buttons & bows from vintage-inspired label Kitten D'Amour for height, a red upcycled vinyl crossbody bag from Country Road to carry all the essentials including the ever-present facemask & hand sanitizer as well as some tissues for the bittersweet moments that always come with a trip down "memory lane," a chunky silver hinged bangle from Wallace Bishop for a touch of daytime shine & finally, the sweetest Sesame Street satin & plush headband - gifted by some dear friends who were visiting from overseas & came along to join the fun - with Elmo & Cookie Monster heads on each side to complete the look.

Finally posting all the pictures of the gorgeous, bohemian-inspired ensemble I styled for a recent trip to Mt Tamborine to take part in an "intensive" day-long class to learn how to play the wooden flute. The unseasonably cold weather meant that I was able to get another wear out of this stunning duck-egg-blue chiffon number from Little Party Dress with its midi-length, tiers of fabric, fluted sleeves and teeny tiny buttons. Conscious that I would need to remove my shoes when I arrived (it's a hippie thing...) I chose my fail-safe Sol Sana leather pointy-toed loafers & matched them to a black vinyl crossbody bag with silver hardware from Urban Originals. Jewellery was kept simple with a selection of silver & shell rings from Thousand Island Dressing at Paddington - my all-time favourite destination for funky accessories.

Finally posting all the sweet pictures from a dear little person's third birthday family party... where he was lucky enough to receive a balance bike (with working elephant horn!) from a certain stylish aunty - not to mention the $7 dinosaur foil helium balloon that (typically) seemed to be the favourite gift of the day...

Posing among the greenery in the birthday boy's grandmother's lush, verdant back garden (the overcast sky & recent pouring rain certainly a welcome boost) wearing a gorgeous duck-egg-blue floral chiffon tiered midi-length dress with v-neckline, button detailing & fluted sleeves from Aussie small business, Little Party Dress cinched in with a wide, black patent leather belt from That Shop at Coolangatta & a pair of black leather "cage" heeled sandals from Wittner for the perfect combination of sturdy & stylish.

Well, now that the fashion details are out of the way, scroll down to see how the rest of the morning unfolded...

ROAR! Nothing better than a home-cooked, home-decorated cake... particularly if it's covered in dinosaurs!

You know what they say: It's not a great party unless you end up with your (thankfully, clean) underwear on your head at some point...
