Finally sharing all the gorgeous pictures from a gorgeous morning in Laidley with my parents, browsing around this sweet regional town checking out a plethora of boutiques, retail stores, bakeries & gift shops - as well as historical icons like Das Neumannhaus - before heading to the delightful Grace Eats Cafe for a leisurely lunch together. For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous pastel embroidered denim pinafore & a matching white embroidered linen puff-sleeve shirt from cult label Gorman, a pair of camel suede pointy-toed mules from Wittner for a modicum of height, a blush vinyl crossbody bag with wooden clasp from Oh Jo Jo Boutique at the "top of town" in Ipswich to carry all the essentials & some of my all-time favourite silver pieces - a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles & a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles to complete the look.

Finally sharing all the gorgeous pictures from a day spent exploring South East Queensland's beautiful Scenic Rim with my cousin & her two rambunctious munchkins. Starting off in historical Rosewood, we checked out the dinosaurs, played in the park & ate some delicious treats from the bakery before heading off to Laidley for a browse around the shops (beautiful boutiques, funky homewares, op shop goodies & a huge, fully-stocked toy store) and leisurely lunch at the delightful Grace Eats before heading home as the sun began to set. For the occasion, I wore a beautiful boho floral cotton long-sleeved midi dress with elasticated waistline & cuffs as well as small gold buttons at the neck from the label Fate + Beeker, discovered at Oh Jo Jo Boutique at the "top of town" in Ipswich that I styled up with a pair of tan leather ankle boots with zippers from Renee Loves Frances & a matching vinyl & wood crossbody handbag (also found at Oh Jo Jo's) to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free for exploration.

Wintertime in Boonah

Dress: Stine Goya jacquard

Mules: Wittner leather

Bag: Elk via Mott & Mulberry leather

Ring: Tree of Life silver, turquoise

When the weather in South East Queensland starts to cool down, one of my favourite traditions is a visit to the small township of Boonah in the Scenic Rim for a browse around the main street department stores, op shops, organic produce vendors & funky boutiques followed by brunch at Flavours Cafe, built on the site of the historic Boonah Butter Factory & home of the milkshake in the old-fashioned anodised cup! For the occasion, I donned a gorgeous black, brown & blue floral print jacquard puff-sleeve mini smock dress with tiered hemline from Danish designer Stine Goya, styled up with a pair of tan leather pointy-toed mules from Wittner, a matching tan leather crossbody bag from a label called Elk that I picked up at the delightful Mott & Mulberry boutique at Indooroopilly & finally, a chunky silver & turquoise ring from my local Tree of Life store to pick on the blue inherent in the dress print.
