Following on from my last blog post, this one is also detailing some festive family celebrations that had to be postponed due to an unfortunately-time bout with Covid. This time, a morning tea & present giving with my mother's family. For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous tropical print cotton sarong-style midi dress from a label called Collectif that I discovered at That Shop in Paddington, a pair of red leather Saltwater Sandals from Maiocchi for the ideal fusion of comfort & style in this extremely humid weather, a natural woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On to carry all the essentials, a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles from some dear friends & a single vintage silver bangle from 20th Century Antiques & Collectibles (formerly of Coolangatta, now Tweed Heads) that my younger brother gave me as a birthday gift some years ago.

Finally sharing all the beautiful pictures from our family Christmas dinner "do over," now that we're all healthy & happy after our recent bout of Covid. For the occasion, I wore a cute yet casual white linen singlet with embroidered yoke detailing & a pair of white & green floral print cotton shorts with belt from my local Target store's Preview summer line, styled up with beige leather Frankie 4 sandals with gold buckles & matching vintage gold, white & clear glass beaded necklace & bracelet with swirl pendant from the delightful Beautiful Pangea.
