HOT Chat: Shannon Heitmann of The Rabbit and the Duck
I first met Shannon Heitmann when I came across her cushions, wallets and notebook covers, sold under the label The Rabbit & the Duck, at the Magnolia Square Market back in August. If you were at Finders Keepers market last weekend you may have seen Shannon’s stall as well. Today’s HOT Chat is about Shannon [...]
HOT: Diamonds Exchange, Level 7, 267 Collins Street, Melbourne
**Please note that my HOT was based on my experience in February 2010. It seems that things have gone very downhill since then and the company has gone into administration. Read the comments below for more information.** I’ve never been one for wearing rings – in fact, I find them quite uncomfortable (I think it’s [...]
HOT Chat: Lee Elizabeth George of A Vintage Affair
As you’ve probably worked out by now, I am a huge fan of afternoon tea. Really, what’s not to like? A meal in between ‘proper’ meals consisting of dainty cakes, pastries and sandwiches taken with sips of tea or champagne. Afternoon tea is partly about ambience too and that’s where A Vintage Affair caught my [...]
Ask the Doctor: Melbourne Top 10
One of the most oft-asked questions for the doctor is a list of must-dos for a weekend trip to Melbourne. When answering, I assume that most visitors are either aware of or have done the usual ‘touristy’ stuff. So here are my Melbourne Top 10 to do/eat/see suggestions which are slightly more hidden, in no [...]
HOT: Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, Designer Series Show 4, Melbourne Town Hall, Swanston St, Melbourne
Show Four of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week explored the street style of the urban Melbourne palette. So naturally, black. The cliche is true, even for Spring and Summer collections Melbourne designers above., ALPHA60, Carly Hunter, Claude by Claude Maus, FAT, Jack London, Limedrop, Tesla and Trimapee brought us lots of midnight, jet, raven and ebony. The hip and [...]
HOT: Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, Designer Series Show 3, Melbourne Town Hall, Swanston St, Melbourne
Another night of fashion at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, this time for the young and fresh looks of Alice McCall, Arabella Ramsay, Bettina Liano, Gorman, Leopold, LIFEwithBIRD, Manning Cartell, Nevenka, Nicolangëla, Obüs and Wayne Cooper. My tongue-in-cheek conclusion: quiffs are in fashion. Big quiffy fringes are not really my look, but they sure add height [...]
HOT: Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, Designer Series Show 2, Melbourne Town Hall, Swanston St, Melbourne
You’d be forgiven for not realising with this cold and rain that it’s actually Spring in Melbourne from today. With Spring comes Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, the fashion festival that’s the baby of the bigger Loreal Melbourne Fashion Week in March. I was lucky enough to be invited to watch the collections being shown in [...]

HOT: Magnolia Square, Malvern Town Hall, cnr Glenferrie Rd and High Street, Malvern
Magnolia Square is a pop up market that comes to Melbourne a few times a year (and goes to other Australian cities) and it’s full of stylish goods aimed mostly for women. It’s mostly babies/kids stuff, with really ups the cute quotient, but there’s also handmade crafts, jewellery, clothing and gourmet food. On my most [...]
HOT: Design Made Trade, Royal Exhibition Building, 9 Nicholson St, Carlton
Design:Made:Trade was a 4 day exhibition (2 day trade, 2 day public) set up in the beautiful heritage listed Royal Exhibition Buildings and a keystone event of State of Design 2010, Victoria’s annual design festival. The grand vaulted space was segmented with 3×3 metre VISY cardboard booths, each containing fabulous furniture, fashion and industrial design [...]
