Wine: I love a glass of red – in particular, my favourites are Pinot Noir, Tempranillo in the warmer months and a nice deep Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon in the cooler months. I am yet to experience the delights of the Hunter Valley, and I also have McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills on my to-do list. Be my tour guide?
Toys: I love to play, and experience new things! I have heard mind-blowing reviews about the Njoy Pure Wand. Want to go on a new adventure together?
Spa / Massage: I am very blessed in Sydney to have such an indulgent variety of Day Spas. The Crown and SpaQ always know how to hit the right spots. If you feel like being treated like royalty, may I suggest we make a getaway to Gillian Adams Day Spa and Dining for important relaxation purposes.
Skincare: Mecca has all the answers for keeping my porcelain skin soft, silky and smelling divine. I can also never walk past an Aesop store for a treat. I adore the earthy and natural smells.
Perfume: LeLabo Santal, or anything with earthy woody tones with sweet notes.
Lingerie: It's no secret that I love a vintage look! My favourite brands are Studio Pia, Harlow and Fox, and Playful Promises. Size-wise, I wear a 14F top, and L/14 for everything else.
Shoes: As a tall lady, I generally live in flats, except for our special occasions. I’m a size 9AU or EU40.
Bags: A classic girl can never go past a classic Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather handbag. I've also heard the Saint Laurent Shopper is great for fitting fun things in...
Jewellery: I love gold statement pieces, and Temple of the Sun is a favourite jewellery brand of mine. Locally handcrafted in Byron, inspired by Goddesses and ancient symbology - it's a perfect fit.
Food: Let’s eat! I adore relaxed, fun meals where we can let go of the outside world and really get to know each other. I'm especially fond of both Indian and Mexican cuisine. For something a bit more experiential, I always enjoy adventures at my favourite Sydney fine dining restaurants: Mjolner, and Restaurant Hubert.
Flowers: I love Australian natives!
Vouchers: Tending to my home, brings me moments happiness and calm in this busy life. Whether it be decorating, or tending to my plant babies. I use Bed Threads for my beauty sleep, Bunnings for all my green thumb activities, and Inartisan, a local homewares company inspired by art and nature for my homely comforts.
Music: Music is in my blood – it’s where I feel whole. Whether it’s a classical symphony at the Opera House, a hardcore metal band at the Crowbar, or an underground jazz bar, I’m there! I’d love to show you some of my favourite venues to see live music.
Vinyls: If you've made it this far, it's probably not surprising that I am a vinyl collector. I am currently curating my Discogs library, so you can see my collection, we can talk nerdy music, and perhaps you can introduce me to some of your favourites to add to my collection?
An integral part to the vinyl player, is obviously a great sound! I'm currently eyeing off these Klipsch The Fives, to complete my setup.
Charity: If you would like to make a donation to a charity on my behalf, I would love you to consider making a donation to SWOP. In their words, “SWOP is Australia’s largest and longest established community-based peer education sex worker organisation with a mission to provide New South Wales sex workers with the same access to health, safety, human rights, and workplace protections as all other Australian workers." You can donate to SWOP here.
For your convenience, I have curated a shoppable online wishlist of some of my favourite things here.
