Meet Mr Puffer
I love, love, love silk scarves and some of my favourites are by Sydney-based label Bay & Fyfe. In their third collaboration with artist Daimon Downey, the label have added three new prints to their ‘Pastel Zoo Collection’ and boy do they make a statement. The new prints include the flamingo, the snake and my ...

It’s not a pool party until the Giant Swan arrives
There aren’t many things that take my breath away, but this Giant Swan pool toy is one of them. If ever there was an icon for a luxurious summer, the Giant Swan is it. More majestic than any other pool toy on the market, this chic monochromatic accessory covers the black and white swim trend ...
Bikinis of the Month: Tigerlily and Shakuhachi
I bought these high-waisted bikini bottoms by Shakuhachi on a whim – I usually go for the skimpiest bottoms possible (I blame it on my time travelling through South America), but there was something about these that I just had to have. Steel grey with two stripes of black mesh, they are super chic and perfect to ...
MBFWA: Day Five
The last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) was far less hectic than the beginning of the week, with the New Generation show being the main drawcard for us. With seven up-and-coming designers showcasing their collections, we were excited to see what this new crop of fashion designers had in store. While all of the collections ...
MBFWA: Day Four
There’s a reason why fashion folk wear sunglasses inside and on day four it became abundantly clear. After three nights of blogging into the wee hours of the morning, I had no choice but to work the wanker look I’ve always mocked. Luckily, there was a bunch of great shows on the schedule to keep ...
MBFWA: Day Three
We kicked day three off with Alice McCall, where the designer showcased one of her best collections to date. With an ocean theme it was the perfect prelude to We Are Handsome’s fun and playful collection of bikinis and boardies. There must have been something in the water, because they weren’t the only ones channeling ...
MBFWA: Day Two
With Ginger & Smart on in the morning and Maticevski in the afternoon, the A-listers were out in force today. The rain put a damper on our street style shots, but the beautiful fashion on the runway made up for it. Our photographer Lizi was back in the photograher pit, battling it out with some ...
MBFWA: Day One
The opening day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2013 went off without a hitch. We got there just in time to see our fashion favourites Pip Edwards and Nicole Warne (aka Gary Pepper) arrive. Camilla and Marc celebrated their 10th anniversary by opening the event, Bec & Bridge backed-up last year’s success with another solid collection, and swimwear ...
Ready for a week of fashion?
That’s right, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) is back for another year and this time it’s got a new home. After outgrowing its waterfront location at Sydney’s International Passenger Terminal, MBFWA has relocated to Carriageworks. And for the first time ever, the shows will be broadcast live onto a giant screen in Martin Place. With ...
Bikinis of the Month: Zimmermann
We’re kicking off our new Bikinis of the Month feature with the fabulous Zimmermann Elixir Frill Racer Bikini. The super cute ruffle top is balanced out with a cool racer back and simple bikini bottoms – it’s girly with an edge. Worn with Tom Ford ‘Cyrille’ Aviator sunnies and Tara Wolf Chakra and Zodiac Bracelets.
Palm tree love
I am obsessed with palm trees, so when I saw this limited edition car slash neck accessory, I just had to make it mine. Handmade by artist Shaun Freeman, the palm tree is one of only 10. Titled ‘Palm Avenue’ they are made out of reclaimed hard wood paneling with twine wrapped around the trunk to ...
The best beach in America
When we were in Hawaii last year, we stumbled upon Lanikai Beach – a tropical oasis that’s been voted the best beach in America for numerous years running. With powdery white sand and clear aqua water, it’s not hard to see why. Located on the windward coast of the island of Oahu in Hawaii, Lanikai ...
Our Australia Day beach party
For the first time in forever, we didn’t set foot on Bondi Beach for Australia Day. We headed to Rose Bay Beach and hit up the first annual Australia Day Lilo Raft-up Party. With the weather looking precarious, we didn’t know what to expect of this debut event. But the storm clouds cleared and over ...
Surfing sushi on Oahu
We’re pretty fussy when it comes to Japanese food (living on a multicultural island like Australia with access to world-class international cuisine will do that to you), so we were stoked to discover Banzai Sushi Bar just down the highway from our beach cabin on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The cool thing about this ...
Our Hawaii digs
Arriving at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa in Hawaii was like being transported into a tropical paradise. We’d heard the property was amazing, but this was something else. Pink Flamingos greeted us on arrival from a lagoon in the open-air atrium. There was a waterfall, a bunch of exotic parrots and a smoothie bar, and ...

Our New York City digs
With an abundance of accommodation options spread out over a city of 302 square miles (that’s 486 square kilometres for us Aussies), deciding where to stay in Manhattan can be overwhelming. There’s budget hostel accommodation with dorm rooms, right up to luxurious penthouses in fancy hotels overlooking Bryant Park. We wanted something in between in a ...
Aloha from New York Fashion Week
Just when we thought we were at peace with missing New York Fashion Week, Mara Hoffman has gone and presented a collection inspired by the islands of Hawaii. A city girl by birth but an island girl at heart, Hoffman sent models down the runway in tropical-printed swimsuits, short-shorts, maxi-dresses, bustiers and long skirts. With ...
