Art fix
Art lovers and those curious about it would do well to make the most of Art Month Sydney. Launched this week, the program includes artist talks, studio tours and the opportunity to see the personal collections of artists including Del Kathryn Barton and Nicholas Harding, which will be on display at the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Paddington. Highlights include a screening of a new documentary on Brett Whiteley, a collaboration between Barangaroo and the Gondwana Choir, and tours of the iconic Sirius building by architect Tao Gofers. March 1 to March 20. Whiteley screening, Dendy Newtown. Monday March 13, $10 to $12.
Golden DROP
Cheers yourself with a nip of Glenmorangie’s Bacalta, the eighth release in the label’s Private Edition. Matured under the sun in casks once used for Madeira wine, the single malt has flavours of baked fruit and toffee. $155. Dan Murphy's
AN homage
For spirited women comes Chanel’s
new Gabrielle bag, a tribute to Gabrielle Chanel before she remade herself as Coco. The bag, which comes in several materials and iterations including a hobo and a backpack, made its runway debut at Chanel’s spring/summer ready to wear show in October. Gabrielle purse, $4975. Tel: 1300 242 635
Delicate addition
Add a little elegance with these French hook earrings from the Kailis Swan Suite. They feature Australian South Sea pearls and pavé set diamonds. The collection is available at David Jones
now and launching into
Kailis stores later this
month. $3500.
Revitalised blooms
Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele reinterprets an iconic scent with Gucci Bamboo Limited Edition. It’s still feminine but a little dreamier and has awfully pretty packaging. Woody and floral, with notes of Casablanca lily, sandalwood and Tahitian vanilla. 50ml. $135.

It’s black & white
We’re not just talking about the looks of this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona but it’s desirability. Among watch enthusiasts (and beyond) this is possibly the most recognisably desirable timepiece you can have on your wrist - a watch that suggests impeccable craftsmanship and style, yet can be worn every day. Of course, at $15,700, it also suggests you can afford such a statement. As for the justification: the case is steel; the crowning touch, the bezel, is in black Cerachrom, a material patented by Rolex that gives the watch the looks of the original 1965 model; and the self-winding movement comes with Superlative Chronometer certification.

So fast is fashion moving
that the collection Burberry
showed last week in London was available in boutiques worldwide immediately after. Inspired by the sculptor Henry Moore, the collection nodded to its heritage but remained
entirely modern. This look, with its touch of Victoriana and off-kilter knitwear is one
entirely apt example. Asymmetric jersey
sweatshirt dress,
$2050; cotton
shirt dress,
$1650; knitted
boots with
sculpted
heel, $1695.
