Finally sharing all of the glorious pictures of a recent mother/daughter morning exploring everything new & beloved at Southbank's Cultural Precinct - both the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) & Queensland Art Gallery - before heading over to the Parklands for a leisurely lunch at Ahmet's Turkish Restaurant & a cheeky little dessert from Gelare to finish! For the occasion, I wore a sweet navy & off-white floral polyblend mini shirtdress with puff sleeves, tiny gold buttons & a self-tie belt by a label called Lorraine that I picked up from Birdhouse Laidley, styled up with a pair of camel suede pointy-toed mules from Wittner for a modicum of height, a natural woven poly crossbody bag with camel vinyl strap from Strandbags to carry all the essentials & a stack of gold & onyx Alex & Ani bangles for that touch of daytime shine.

Always a fabulous dining experience at Ahmet's Turkish Restaurant!
This time, we tried the Lamb Pide & the Garlic Prawns with Turkish Bread strips (as well as our usual Ginger Sparkle & Garden Delight mocktails) & they were AMAZING!



Finishing off with Gelare...

Having a bit of fun at my local park/playground with this giant spiderweb-shaped climbing frame on a warm & sunny morning! I'm wearing a gorgeous black, grey & white floral cotton tiered mini smock dress with v-neckline lined in white from Australian label Adorne, styled up with a pair of black patent & matte leather heeled loafers with tassels by a label called Pitillos that I picked up from the delightful Obsession Shoes at the "top of town" in Ipswich, a natural woven straw handbag with black leather clasp from Witchery to carry all the essentials & a pair of funky, Tim Burton inspired black resin sunglasses from Empire Revival to complete the 
look.
