Art and Super Yachts | Sydney

Sydney turned on some great weather on the weekend

Perfect for a day out with the parents to see the Archibald Prize

[The view across Potts Point from the Art Gallery of NSW]

Followed by a wander through the Domain and lunch at The Pavilion

Then an ice cream expedition to Woolloomooloo and choosing which super yacht and/or harbour side apartment we would buy. My favourite was "Oscar" (see below). We were hoping it belonged to Russell Crowe (get it?)(he does own an apartment on the finger wharf...) but no such luck. The super yacht in the foreground is available to hire for $12,000 for 24 hours. Expensive, but the only yacht in Sydney on which you can land your helicopter (phew).

And finally made our way back past the State Library.

Nice work Sydney! xx

The Australian Way

Last September, a number of international Vogue magazines held the inaugural "Fashion's Night Out". There was MK and Ashley at Barneys, SJP at Oscar Della Renta and Daria Werbowy at Lancome. There was even special cup cakes at Magnolia Bakery in celebration.

This September 9, Vogue Australia is holding the first Australian Fashion's Night Out. I wonder if Cupcakes on Pitt will do a special cup cake to mark the occasion? I wonder if Melbournites are going to claim it should be held in the fashion capital? I wonder if I should be booking flights?

New Baubridge & Kay store

A new Baubridge & Kay flagship store has opened @ 80 Clarence Street in Sydney. I assume this is replacing the old Centrepoint double-storey store. They stock some lovely double-cuffed shirts, great suiting, huge range of cufflinks and throw in some shirt dresses for good measure. See b.kay.com.au for some eye candy...

Breakfast at Tiffanys x fifteen

Fifteen models assembled outside Tiffany & Co this morning dressed in Jayson Brunsdon a la Audrey Hepburn in the opening credits of Breakfast at Tiffanys.

They posed to celebrate the launch of Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival. RSFF is sort of a reset of Rosemount Australia Fashion Week for the public. The Rosemount Australian Fashion Week Review shows look particularly interesting - esp Dion Lee... sigh. Tickets are available at Ticketek.

PS That RSFF link is worth clicking just for music alone... doof doof doof [ahem]
