Spending the afternoon traversing my own neighbourhood in the balmy midsummer breeze wearing one of the sweetest gingham dresses that I've ever owned - this green & white linen stunner with puff sleeves, above-the-knee ruffled hemline & shirred bodice from Faithfull the Brand via online emporium The Iconic. When it came to styling, I've gone for casual & comfortable with a pair of white leather Gizeh style Birkenstock sandals (purchased from the wonderful Footgear store at Indooroopilly) & a pair of faux tortoiseshell sunglasses from my local Sportsgirl store to complete the look.

This is Halloween 2021

 

Finally sharing all the gorgeous photographs from All Hallows Eve celebrations with my cousin & her two rambunctious munchkins who love nothing more than getting dressed up in something spooky & hightailing it around the neighbourhood for some "Trick or Treating," despite being too nervous to actually knock on any doors (other than their own) & ask for any candy... Oh well, they had fun regardless & there's always next year; this Halloween thing really hasn't been popular in Australia for long & seems to be consistently gaining momentum as time passes. Scroll down to see how it all the hijinks unfolded...

Quick costume idea - a Jack O'Lantern orange dress (this gorgeous shirred linen number with puff sleeves is from Dissh) & a funky plastic skeleton hand hairclip to complete the look... very BOOtiful if I do say so myself!

Scouting the neighbourhood for potential haunts...

DIY Jack O'Lanterns with their plastic pumpkin buckets & light-up rings from Fair Dinkum Bargains (not gonna lie - the home of absolutely everything AMAZING & Halloweenish... I even bought their gorgeous little witch/wizard hats there!) in the fading light...
