If you follow my Twitter, you’ll know that I was in Melbourne last week. The reason for my trip? I was fortunate enough to be invited to stay in the Lost & Found Hotel Room. Part cultural experiment, part canny promotion for Tourism Victoria, the room showcases some of the best Melbourne-made art, design, and objects. Apply online, and if you’re on of the lucky ones, you can stay in the space for free.
The room was filled with lovely details – Aesop products in the bathroom, a soft mohair throw on the bed, piles of literary journals to read, and a record player complete with vinyl. Everything was thoughtfully chosen and beautifully presented. I spent an evening with the masterminds behind the project, and was regaled with tales of Melbourne’s creative culture and an insider’s guide to the achingly cool bars and restaurants the city has to offer.
And although I am enjoying my turn as a newly minted Sydney-sider – Melbourne, I love you. I can’t wait to return.
The new range from ABAKUS Collection, inspired by Daphne Guinness, and titled Birds of Carnage (The Dark Phase). A dangerous cluster of delicate chains, pearls and spikes on reptilian leather – I think I am in love.

On Saturday, I chanced by a garage sale - imagine my surprise when I discovered it was run by the lovely Ebony of hello sandwich. I snapped up this incredible silk kimono, which I can’t wait to wear in summer, when it’s too hot to do anything but sip lemonade and dream.
I’ve been poring over the cool minimalism of these RGB Cosmetics nail polishes. I’m guilty of collecting different kinds of black nail polish, and I’m dying to add RGBBLACK to my arsenal. And while I’m at it, why not stock up on other shades along the greyscale?
