your fave shop? (fashion and interiors)
Interiors: Industrial furniture store Guy Matthews in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Each piece tells a story and I literally have to tear myself away before I do some serious credit card damage.
Fashion: Net-a-porter and the Outnet. There is nothing like shopping when the Aussie dollar is strong and then you get the excitement of little packages arriving at the office.
your fave website?(besides my blog)
Recently totally fell in love with India Knight’s blog. She keeps me totally up to date with what is going on in Europe and I love her style of writing..
Sydneys best keep secret?
A little hidden beach in the East where people can take their dogs and everyone is sworn to secrecy before allowed down the stairs! I could tell but then I’d have a ransom on my head.
your fave furniture piece or object at home?
My leather chairs from ebay almost gave me a heart attack when I won them, as I suspected I got carried away in the auction. But then when they arrived they were more beautiful and worn in than I could have ever imagined. I fall asleep in one of them with a book every weekend.
