All of the sweet snaps from a morning spent enjoying the leisurely pace of downtown Rosewood with my father, walking along the tracks at local parks, immersing ourselves in the history of the area & enjoying some sweet treats from the bakery... before heading to a local nursery (or garden centre as the youth of today call it) for a few more pots & plants... For the occasion, I kept it casual in a cottagecore brown & navy checked cotton prairie dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves from British high street stalwart Topshop, a pair of upcycled/recycled denim sneakers from Converse with comfortable rubber soles & a funky nylon crossbody/bum bag featuring a print of Hokusai's "Great Wave Off Kanagawa" (1831, part of his famed "Thirty Six Views of Mt Fuji" series) from a label called Loqi via Queensland Art Gallery's amazing gift shop to keep my hands free while exploring.

Sharing all the pictures from a bright & sunny morning spent exploring the downtown area of historical Ipswich with my mother. Beginning at the "Top of Town" with its beautiful range of boutiques, we then traversed the recently revamped Nicholas Street precinct - ending up in the gardens outside the new Children's Library before heading down the hill & all the way over to the Ipswich Antique Centre in what was once the Uniting Church Central Memorial Hall on East Street for a browse around the bric-a-brac & heirloom furniture pieces. 

For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous brown & navy checked cotton midi dress with shirred bodice, leg-of-mutton sleeves & tiered hemline from British high street fashion stalwart Topshop, styled up with a beautiful patchwork-style navy, black & white jacket from Temptations Boutique at Winston Glades, a pair of matte & patent leather ankle boots with buttons (otherwise known as my "Anne of Green Gables" boots) from Wittner, 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs feeling toasty-warm & a black satin & vinyl woven-look crossbody bag from Country Road to carry all the essentials.
