The Sunday Times is always a great 'go to' for the debrief of what's happening around town. With a finger on the pulse of style and entertainment – here's what I loved about today's edition…
Picturing New York: Photographs from the Museum of Modern Art
Look forward to checking out this exhibition!
After watching a film recently about life, my friend turned to me and asked the rhetorical question; “What WOULD you do, if you knew life was only a few weeks long?”
I replied without hesitation, “That's easy, I would watch the sunrise and sunset everyday!”
When was the last time you watched the sunrise?
In all honesty, I haven't enjoyed a sunrise in such a long time and it something that is truly beautiful, captivating and totally free for everyone to enjoy……so why not!
Next week I am celebrating a birthday and I thought what better way to start the day than taking in the sunrise from Kings Park.
Kings Park is right on the doorstep of the city and the view of the sunlight over the buildings and the river is something is breathtaking at any hour of the day!
Tourists and locals alike enjoy this unique location everyday and it provides a perfect setting and backdrop to mark special occasions.
Having worked in the city, I have been among those who have taken in the views from Kings Park whilst getting some exercise going up and down Jacobs Ladder…… although this is not the most relaxing way to enjoy the scenery!
So next week, my alarm clock will be set, my picnic rug ready and I'm off to soak in the sunrise over our gorgeous city.
Once the infancy of the day is over and my tastebuds wake up, I just know that coffee will call my name and I will find a table for 4 at the Zamia cafe for breakfast…..
With spectacular sunrises, fresh air, coffee and Kings Park available everyday of the year, I won't leave it till my next birthday to enjoy e sunrise at Kings Park!
Happy days in style!
When the event calls for a head-turning outfit and you want to show your support for talent that is right here in WA, take my advice and head to the Carillion Arcade where you'll find Hatch.
I first headed to Hatch around the time of the Perth Fashion Festival 2012 when I had a last minute invitation to an event that called for something West Australian and fabulous!
Sure, I had put all my eggs in Hatch's basket, given that I was shopping 3 hours before the event (and I had never been to the store), but I had faith!!
Breathing a sigh of relief, I found Hatch had done WA designers due justice and the selection of garments was perfect for what I was looking for.
I was happy to find that a collaboration of WA designers finally had a presence in Perth City with the support of The Perth Fashion Festival and The Carillion.
So with an outfit still to be found on this given Friday in 2012, I took Steph Audino, Kim Barton, Zhivago and Ange Lang into the dressing room and was in utter happiness of having the choice of such amazing labels in one confined space!
I had hit the jackpot (thankfully!) and managed to return home in time to pull it all together with accessories -phew!
Hatch has done a fabulous job of bringing West Australian fashion together in one Schmick store!! Hoorah!
What a year 2012 was!!
Perth picked up the pace and showed the world what our beautiful city has to offer!
West Australians welcomed hip new bars and restaurants and showcased some of our biggest and best events yet.
With 6 star venues and luxury brand retailers opening their doors, we now have even more reason to embrace and celebrate style.
Every day I find inspiration by so many things here in the West and during the past year I have visited some amazing places, dined on some decadent dishes and fell in love with countless collections from our West Australian designers.
Here, I share a snapshot of some of the ingredients that made WA a place of fun and style during 2012…..
Crown has given us The Merrywell, Rock Pool, Nobu, Bistro Giullaume and accommodation with a world class poolside. This is the place for a complete night out!
Perth Arena of a world class standard and is our hub of exciting times to come!
Shopping has never been so much fun with WA designers opening flagship stores and collaborations of designers coming together at Hatch in the city and Ten @ Times Square in Claremont.
Perth Fashion Week kicks off a year of fabulous WA fashion! Keep the event alive!
Brookfield Place transformed into sophisticated style venue!
STM Front Row at Bistro Felix provided a regular fashion fix for lovers of style!
The most beautiful piece of France comes to King Street… Two of my favourite places collide!
The biggest and best year of the Perth Fashion Festival yet – one glorious of week on Perth to lock in your diary for 2013!!
The Perth Museum hosted this Flannel PFF event – styled by the Editor of Vogue – this was a fairy tale event to attend!
Rochelle Adonis showed off all year with a high tea service worth writing home about and Christmas fanfare so decadent it was sinful! Enjoy…
The Perth Racing Carnival at Ascot is a place where style is everything!
Paspaley Polo in the City – Relaxed summer outing at Langley Park – was a highlight for sure!
