The first thing I do when I get to Rio is head to Osklen, the creation of celebrated Brazilian adventurer come designer Oskar Metsavaht. Last summer he did a minimalist take on Carnival but this season is more sombre: sharp-edged dresses and sculptured menswear-style coats have been perfect for a Melbourne winter.
I have a strange obsession: baby names. I love them! My favourites: Matilda, Indi, Autumn, Violet, Audrey, Evie, Frederic (Freddie), Frankie and Belle. I also love Camille, but it's not so nice with an Australian accent...
I'm ashamed to say I will only see one movie at the Melbourne International Film Festival this year. But what a pick! Bill Cunningham New York is beautiful, tender and a fitting tribute to 'the most important man on Earth'. I loved it. Please go see it, if only for the alphabet suit.
I often dream about creating the perfect home, while Lyndsay and Fitzhugh have gone and done it. But I'm not surprised their house is so cool, given their professions and the fact that they can even arrange toilet paper creatively. Thank you the selby for helping me to aspire. And the pups are so beautiful too!
