It was great to see the report released from IP Australia this month titled Talking Design: Views from Australia’s Design Ecosystem which I was able to be a part of along with 80 other members of the design industry. As I mentioned previously in this blog post, IP Australia got in touch after coming across […]

Wolford, located at the top end of Collins Street in Melbourne, is a hosiery and luxury knitted outerwear brand. I shopped there for the first time earlier this year after something in the window caught my eye.     I would like to share my first experience with their lovely in-store service and contrast this […]

I couldn’t wait to visit the Bulgari exhibition at the NGV in Melbourne. Bulgari evokes glamour, luxury and sophistication. Their exquisite and timeless designs are linked with some of the world’s most prestigious ladies including Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren. NGV’s exhibition titled Italian Jewels: Bulgari Style brings together spectacular treasures from Bulgari’s […]

I stumbled across Le Theatre Dior, an intimate display in the Dubai Mall of 60 small-scale Dior Haute Couture gowns, each perfectly identical to the original. Le Theatre Dior is a tribute to the meticulous handiwork of the House of Dior Haute Couture ateliers, who have painstakingly sewn the details of these miniatures to resemble […]

I’m at an age where I’m starting to enjoy drinking tea at home, either on my own or with friends. I clearly remember an episode of Oprah where she explained how much she enjoyed ending the day drinking tea from her gorgeous tea set. For some silly reason this stuck with me and as soon as I could afford it, […]

Are you in the market for a luxury pen? I was and I wanted a pen that was classy and feminine, something I would love to use every time I write. The pen that I’m talking about is the Montblanc bejewelled Princesse Grace de Monaco ballpoint pen. This pen was even more spectacular in person and honours the life […]

Is there a brand that you can’t live without, a brand that inspires you to enjoy every moment in life, a brand that you just find an absolute pleasure to own and use? When I love something I REALLY LOVE it and work hard to have it. Being a minimalist I enjoy purchasing things that […]

Attending the races is still existent on my ‘to-do’ list, probably because I fail to find a nice fascinator every year but after admiring the beautiful window displays at Swarovski’s flagship store in Vienna Austria my search is over. All the stunning head pieces are designed by no other than the great millinerPhilip Treacy. Known for his […]

Who is Christina Exie? I had the pleasure of meeting Christina’s mother at a beauty salon the morning after she accompanied Christina to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Sydney last month. She was so estactic by the show that she couldn’t hold her excitement back and spent 15 minutes talking to me about the show, the guests […]

‘Pigalle’, an area in the north of Paris was a highly favoured neighbourhood for Mr Louboutin. This love for ‘Pigalle’ flirtatiously managed to steal the name of this striking simple pump. This desirable heel is available in all sorts of colours and height variations but all retain one important characteristic, they’ll always be that classic […]

I absolutely love this Emilio Pucci hunter-green wool felt fedora. I’m not really a hat person but I’ll make an exception for this. It was a spur of the moment purchase when net-a-porter started their boxing days sales.  Sometimes hats can look a little overdressed which is why I love contrasting this particular fedora with a relaxed […]
