I took this photo right before the storm hit Melbourne, on my way home from town. I don't normally walk down the street with a book in my hand, but it just looked so good against the wrapping paper for my roses, I couldn't resist.
The flowers are from Flinders St, I buy most of my flowers there on my way home or on my way somewhere because they are convenient and cheap. $7.50 for a bunch of roses is pretty good value if you ask me. I have fresh flowers in the house every week in different spots, I think it brings the outside indoors, plus it just gives me so much joy to look at them.
Oh and thank you for your comments on whether or not I should keep my shoulder pads from the previous post, some of your comments made me almost fall off my chair laughing and I've decided to publish a few right here.

If I saw you out and about I would half expect you to stalk across the room and throw a drink in someone's face before staring into the distance with a vacant expression lol

I also have a jacket with shoulder pads to rival that. Op shop number and man, if you got tired, you could just lean your head to the left or right and have a snooze. Comfy and stylish.
Blouse: I bought it on the island of Burano, off Venice
Skirt: Camden maket, London
Heels: Verali
Bag: Value City Savers

You're right. The book does look good. As does the outfit. I'm loving those shoes, they are just so perfect.
The book looks great with the flowes! I love buying flowers for the house. They are such a luxury

hahahaha @ Jetsetting Joyce. You look beautiful as always. I too share your love for flowers! Peonies are my favourite!
great outfit, love the pop of orange!
We were in Burano years ago...and I have a lovely lace handmade doily from a village local who asked my husband and I to push her (she was in a wheelchair) to the local graveyard.
It was Sunday the day we visited, and she wanted to pay her respects to her late husband. She was most insistent we take the lace she had made as 'payment'.
We almost missed the boat back to Venice, but I have very fond memories of that day.
Love the bag and of course the shoes

Haha, Bucca's comment is the best! Hope you are finding some way to keep dry in the storms Lady Melbourne! x
I love your blog! There's a gift for you on mine...
Lady Melbourne, Hi!
You look gorgeous...oh I forgot to mention how much I loved the front cover of Peppermint Mag - you lucky thing!

Lovely. I agree about the book and wrapping, too.
love the nude heels! and the skirt!
love those penguin paperbacks! cute photo
I think Bucca's comment is brilliant - and exactly the reason you should keep the shoulder pads in! Nothing like a little Dynasty-style drama to get the party going.
I really like this look for you Lady M. Very chic and effortlessly cool.
Xx
