A Fringed Affair

Since moving to Perth just under two years ago, I have loved getting to know the fashion community here. One Perth local, I have had the pleasure of meeting was leather designer Katherine Dunmill. One of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe is the 'Concealed' weapon leather skirt by Katherine Dunmill.

Cocktail Masterclass at Luxe Bar

Last month, a crew of bloggers and I were invited to Luxe Bar to try our hand at bartending 101. After a warm welcome from Luxe barmen, Andy and Sacha, we were put to work! We took our spots behind the bar and tested our skills at cocktail making. It was an hilarious night of great company, laughter, spillages and of course, delicious Luxe signature cocktails.

The Hidden Sound

When Nadine, from MGVP, invited me to an intimate mystery gig in Fremantle featuring a secret artist, I could not refuse.

The hundred ticket holders would only find out the secret location the day before the event, and the artist would be revealed at the last minute on the night.

RAW Perth

Last month I attended RAW Perth at the Bakery. With the vibe of a mini festival, RAW is an international arts organisation promoting emerging movers and shakers in their field. Now held in over 60 countries, RAW's festivities are unlike any other event on the calendar.

Guests at RAW Perth were in for an eclectic mix of cool art, music and fashion by a selection of homegrown talents -- visual artists, musicians, performance artists, fashion and accessory designers, hair stylists and makeup artists -- all coming together for a wildly diverse night.

Darlings Supper Club

There's a new kid in town and he's pretty darn cool.

Darlings Supper Club, an asian inspired eatery, has opened its doors in Northbridge, Perth. Operating seven days a week, from 3pm until 3am, Darlings is just what the city needs. With other eateries closing their kitchens as early as 8:30pm, it has brought much-needed late-night snacking to Perth.

For July, I am challenging myself to wake up thirty minutes earlier. I will use this 'extra' time as motivation in the morning. Why don't you join me in this challenge, making your otherwise monotonous morning routine something to look forward to!

Ellery Resort 2015

This month, we are celebrating Australian designers.

Following on from Zimmermann's Resort 2015 collection, Perth designer Kim Ellery brings out a strong Resort range of her own. Full of masculine lines, structured shapes and a largely monochromatic palette, this collection is very true to the Ellery label's effortless aesthetic.
