Oh Mercy

Backstage Balenciaga has got us dreaming of those deep burgundy ankle boots.  We all love a good red, sometimes we’d rather just wear it than drink it .. lace-up velvet ankle boots: Chloe  .  fur ankle boots: Maison Margiela  .  reflector-heel leather ankle boots: Vetements Shop Lo-Fi options:

Sunday Sanctuary: Balancing Act

Featuring bright white spaces, an abundance of natural light, subtle hints of greenery, and a neutral design palette… This Scandinavian home is currently achieving some serious interior styling goals. With the styling neither minimal nor excessive, this beautiful space perfectly balances intricate details without being overpowering. Simple lighting fixtures, cues of black hardware and natural wood finishes

Trend: Power Dressing

The latest runway seasons, editorials and street style fashion have seen a renewal of our obsession for power dressing. Featured in Prince of Wales check, herringbone, or houndstooth wool, the trend adopts a more relaxed approach to power dressing. Undoubtedly influenced by the excess and menswear inspired trends of the 1980’s, (see Giorgio Armani’s 1980s suiting), the trend can

Marooned

There once was a time that you couldn’t get me within a 5 metre radius of the colour maroon. Blame it on the fact that it was the dominant colour of my school uniform for the vast majority of my childhood, or on the fact that I was monochromatically monogamous to B&W.  Either way these days I

Autumn Essentials

I guess that you could say that I like to look at the world differently, sometimes it’s just a little more obvious than others.  Good hardware is one of my all time weaknesses and I’m pretty sure you’ve realised by now I’m not talking about the household kind. With Autumn in full swing for my amigos in

Past Forward

In a magical, Edwardian style ballroom last week, at Sydney’s usually private Government House, the chandelier’s were dimmed to launch Prada’s latest artistic offering, a beautiful film titled ‘Past Forward’. If you’re searching for inspiration I strongly suggest that you get your popcorn at the ready and find your comfiest spot on the couch to

Sunday Sanctuary: The Slow

Art and fashion perfectly collide in this space which is designed and curated by George Gorrow, the original co-founder of Ksubi.  Aptly named ‘The Slow‘, this boutique hotel experience will make you feel right at home on the island paradise of Canggu, Bali, a favourite destination of mine. With an aesthetic eloquently described as ‘tropical brutalism’,

Difference Makes Us

Perhaps it’s because I grew up with a love of mud between my toes, the sugar cane farmers daughter, wild (barefoot) and free.  Or perhaps it’s because when I was 12 my mum put me in after-school art classes, the artist studio workshop fragrantly thick with the musky smell of oil-paints set out in the

The Palms

As we sit at our office desks, counting down the final days of the year all I can think about is a holiday.  Sadly this year for me won’t be about boarding a plane to some nordic winter wonderland complete with matching christmas cardigans and spiked-up pissy eggnog, neither will it be about lavishly swanning around

A Conversation With Viktor & Rolf

In the lush manicured gardens of Victoria’s National Gallery I sit alongside Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren… “Fashion Artist’s”, more recognisably known as Viktor & Rolf. Yellow butterfly’s float between us, along with the soft subtle hum of bee’s.  Spring is in full force and you can sense that there is something in the air.  Perhaps it’s

Sunday Sanctuary: La Granja

This abode has me thinking of the darker side… and in Ibiza no less. Straying from the traditionally much-loved, bright white interiors and abundant natural lighting, this island hotel has a distinct earthy and relaxed vibe, and you guys, I’m all for that. La Granja is the result of a collaboration between Design Hotels and
