Feeling Festive

 

It's that time of the year again! Feeling all the festive season vibes while out at my local Fair Dinkum Bargains for all my gift wrapping supplies with their absolutely brilliant, interactive display with blow-up Santa Selfie frame! I'm wearing a gorgeous, vintage-inspired floral pique midi-length sheath dress with belt from Australian label Sacha Drake, tan leather sandals with ankle straps from Wittner & a natural woven paper shoulder bag with tassel from Sussan to carry all the essentials - including the list of things I have to buy so I don't get distracted...

Posting my very own letter to the Big Man in the Red Suit wearing a gorgeous checked cotton shirred midi dress from Seed Heritage in shades of black, white & camel with a striped linen long-line vest in complimentary colours from local Target store over the top, a pair of chocolate brown vegan leather t-bar heels with buttons & bows from Kitten D'Amour, natural woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On & a funky handmade clay gingerbread man brooch from the gift shop at the Queensland Art Gallery to add that extra touch of festive flair!

Mixing pink & red together for a pretty party look! This gorgeous pink floral embroidered organza puff-sleeve midi smock dress with tie belt from Australian label Aje looks amazing when styled up with a pair of red vegan leather t-bar heels with buttons & bows from Kitten D'Amour, a red woven paper shoulder bag from Sussan to carry the essentials, my favourite silver jewellery pieces - a stack of vintage Mexican bangles & a chunky, art deco inspired hinged bangle from Precious Stones Jewellers - & to complete the look, a bauble-covered headband from my local Kmart store...

Same shoes & bag, different day!

This time, Mum & I enjoyed a morning of Christmas shopping together at Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre including a leisurely lunch at 8th Street. For the occasion, I wore a sweet floral ramie puff-sleeve mini dress with elasticated waistline, buttons & cream piping detailing from Sheike that was just perfect for a few happy snaps posing near Santa's big stage!
