Oktoberfest in Brisbane otherwise known as little Germany

It's October in Brisbane and the weather is doing silly things. So much so that I would have to liken it to irrational behavior of lederhosen wearing people under the influence at Oktoberfest. And, on that note see below for some BrisStyle goodness that embraces the festive month, be it the black, red and yellow of the flag or the heady smell of yeasty brew and pork knuckle.

Silver Cored Bead by Creative Arty Facts

Has brand new large hole beads that fit either the Pandora or Biagi bracelet systems. This one is made from gorgeous Lauscha glass from Germany.

Mango sherbet hair piece by SM Boutique

For the Fraulein that likes to bet a bet on the GGs. This cute fascinator is handmade piece using feathers and natural fibers.

Retro Envelope Clutch by Nosovich

Gorgeous little clutch to take to Oktoberfest. This retro little number will bring out the 70s style in anyone.

Rosa Chinensis by Shelly Berelli

What says Germany like chopsticks! This bag is big enough for a day out in the park with friends, suncream, hat, punnet of in season blueberries.

Small Spring Days by Little Mary Moo

Channeling the patriotic colours of Germany's flag this cute to boot purse is perfect to put a small bratwurst in for a midnight snack. If your not partial to pork in your purse, then your keys, phone and lippy fit in here perfectly.

Red and white pattern sling bag by A Creature Strange

You're wunderbar friends will have no trouble spotting you in the beer hall with this bright little number over your shoulder.

See you next week ... hopefully with less dust and wind

Guten Tag!
