what I wore - weekend

Spent the morning shopping in Paddington with my sister and mum - on the hunt for a wedding dress (for my gorgeous sister) and bridesmaid dresses (one for me, yay!)





 Mink Pink "The Illusionist" skirt
 Tee-shirt by Country Road
 French Connection bag
 Leather cuff from Ricochet (in Wellington, New Zealand)

Headed out for dinner this evening for a birthday party - many gin&tonics were consumed, the perfect tipple for a balmy evening.








 Tank dress from Paddington markets
 Heels by Tony Bianco
 Pearl, jade and gold necklace from Turkey (wedding gift)

cascading swirls of rainbow...

I wish I knew what caused the amazing rainbow-light effect in these photos! They just turned out that way, much to my delight.

in the summertime, when the weather is fine...

The weather seems to have suddenly turned to summer - clear blue skies and bright sunshine abound. Today I wore an SPF30 for the first time since last Christmas!

When it is so lovely and sunshine-y and warm, I love wearing pale colours, creams and white, accented with a bit of tan leather.

artworks and coffee...

I couldn't bear to stay inside today, on such a gorgeous, sunshine-y Saturday. We decided to head to the local art gallery to catch a visiting collection of artworks, then on for coffee afterwards...


The local city gallery, despite its relatively tiny size, gets some fairly amazing traveling collections, which is just fantastic.



The collection is "Zhongjian: Midway", a series of artworks investigating notions of identity, tradition and globalisation, by fifteen contemporary artists with varying connections to China.



It was far too beautiful a day to stay indoors - we wanted to be out in the sunshine, listening to the birds chirping up in the trees, enjoying the fresh breeze gently touching our faces.


A seat on the balcony of a local cafe, with a handsome husband sitting opposite me, and several mugs of campos coffee - my idea of the perfect afternoon...





I've always loved these fountains, as a child, and even now as an adult - there's something so refreshing about the sight and sound of rushing water on a hot day.



Was tempted to paddle a bit, but refrained.
