Finally sharing all of the beautiful pictures from a balmy early-Springtime morning in one of my favourite places, the small, rustic townships of Rosewood & Thagoona, wearing this absolutely stunning black & blue floral chiffon & lurex striped mini dress with voluminous sleeves & ruffled hemline from Forever New, styled up for a more casual occasion with a pair of tan suede pointy-toed mules from Wittner & a natural woven straw crossbody bag from City Beach with a sweet blush pink satin & suede corsage from Lovisa tied around the strap for that extra little touch. When it came to jewellery, I chose some of my favourite silver pieces - a stack of seven vintage Mexican silver bangles that were given to me by some dear friends who now reside overseas & a single vintage heavy silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly of Coolangatta, now of Tweed Heads) that my younger brother gave me for my birthday for a touch of daytime shine.

Stopping at the Cobb & Co Heritage Park to indulge in a piping hot chai latte from Harry's Place Cafe in the sunshine...

Back in the car & on our way to Thagoona wearing these funky, vintage-inspired blue & brown resin large-frame sunglasses from the Sea World Gift Shop...

Having a bit of fun in the fresh air at Caledonian Park...

Another day, another trip to the small town of Rosewood with its mouth-watering bakery, sweet boutiques & pretty historical parks. This time, I'm tapping into the cottagecore trend & sitting pretty on one of the Penny Farthing bicycle statues in the Cobb & Co Heritage Park - in the bright winter sunshine - wearing a gorgeous red floral crepe prairie midi dress with embroidered, elasticated neckline & cuffs from Australian designer label Morrison, styled up with a green knitted cardigan from my local Target store, a pair of black matte & patent leather ankle boots with buttons (known colloquially as the "Anne of Green Gables" boots around the house) from Wittner, black 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs warm, a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials & finally, a handmade black leather necklace with wooden pendant from a label called Sonia, gifted to me by a dear friend.
