KIDS
J.Crew never fail to amaze me. The label have this ability to tell a story through the way they style and shoot their lookbooks. You get a strong sense of the person wearing the clothes and the clothes become an extension of who they are. I have a soft spot for J.Crew’s kids shoots including their latest Spring/Summer 2014 collection. There’s always the right amount … Continue reading KIDS
Winter is here

The church of Badu
A few weeks ago I visited the church of soul singer Erykah Badu. For Badu, music is her religion – a way to connect with something/someone bigger than herself. Mesmerising the crowd with her charismatic storytelling, you believed she had lived every word she sung. Being in a room with a person who is so creatively and spiritually free was liberating for me, especially as … Continue reading The church of Badu
Earl’s Juke Joint
Originally posted on Monday Barhop | Sydney's Best Small Bars:
Vegetarians don’t get fooled. Close your eyes, walk through those curtained doors and all will be ok. Behind the abandoned butcher store front of what used to be ‘BETTA MEATS’ reveals a spaciously long bar with smooth dark wood, exposed brick walls, rusty metal ceilings and beards. (Please note beard quantities may differ depending on… Continue reading Earl’s Juke Joint

Once in a while I experience a brain explosion – that feeling you get when you’re so excited about something that your mind is blown at the realisation of it. This morning was one of those moments. The wonderful folks behind Sydney’s Creative Mornings have been doing a stellar job rounding up a talented bunch of creative minds to speak at their monthly series of … Continue reading Rebel Rebel
‘G’ is for Grandma
Remember those alphabet books you had as a kid?? I had a swish Disney-themed one which I loved to tatters. You remember. ‘B’ is for BAMBI, ‘C’ is for CINDERELLA. Late last year fashion photographer Tim Walker released his own Granny-themed version aptly titled ‘The Granny Alphabet’. But this book is more than just your ABC’s. As Walker explains: Old age brings back this childlike … Continue reading ‘G’ is for Grandma
Granny’s Grammy notes 2014
The Grammy Awards are one of my favourites during the awards season. The Grammys have a lot more entertainment value than your Oscars or Globes, without the sloppiness of the entire MTV awards show portfolio. And what the Grammys lack in the hosting talent department it more than makes up through its highly entertaining artist mash-ups. [Note: If you’re really not that interested in the … Continue reading Granny’s Grammy notes 2014

Grandma bags
Thank you Celine, for bringing my grandma’s laundry bags back to life (and attaching a $4,000 price tag on it). I saw this print at Celine stores around Jakarta, but strangely not on the arms of the city’s fashionable ladies. They probably thought the same thing. #laundrychic via STOP IT RIGHT NOW Continue reading Grandma bags
