Bold geometry
Launching globally
on April 28 is Tiffany
& Co’s HardWear collection, featuring elegant pieces with
a glinting, industrial edge. The Bead Double-Drop Earrings in 18-carat yellow gold are for women who embrace all facets of themselves. $4150. Tel: 1800 731 131
Lightweight rules
With a “Breitlight” case more
than three times lighter than titanium, this 45mm Breitling Colt Skyracer gives you the look without the lard – and it’s light on the pocket too at just $2770. Water-resistant to 100 metres, its SuperQuartz movement is chronometer certified. The band has a unique quick-change action that lets you remove it to use as a measuring rule.

Glamour in green
Feminine and zippy is Miu Miu’s new Click bag. Crafted in the house’s signature madras leather, it has a plaited handle, comes in three sizes and a range of hues, and works just as well over the shoulder as it does across the body. The front fastens with, yes, a click, and this cheering emerald hue (Absinthe) is exclusive to the Miu Miu store in Westfield Sydney. From $2900.
Tel: (02) 9223 1688.
Sky’s the limit
Stride into that important meeting or onto the dance floor in these towering Tribute patent heels from Saint Laurent and simply revel in your power. Or blame it on the boogie. $1200. Miss Louise
Gourmet escape
Gourmands and greedy types (the best kind, really) best add the Noosa Food and Wine Festival to their diaries. The weekend in May includes masterclasses and foodie experiences with some of Australia’s top chefs. Best make a weekend of it, we think, and opt for the glamping experience on offer with Beyond Experiences. The 3-night package includes dinner under the stars and tickets to events such as the Hasting Street Long Table Lunch and Wine in the Woods. Plus a very nice tent on a macadamia nut farm. May 19 to May 22. $3900 a person.
Golden weave
Deceptively simple, the elegant Parure Sangle necklace from Louis Vuitton debuted at the spring/summer show earlier this year. Made from copper with a golden finish, it is to be worn curved around the neck. The piece takes inspiration from the straps on the house’s iconic luggage trunks. $1820. Tel: 1300 883 880
Take it easy
Power down into
the weekend with an
ensemble from Mr Porter's “Made in California” capsule collections. Launched this month, the collections take their influences from surf, skate and street culture and feature brands including James Perse, Simon Miller, Rick Owens and LA-based Amiri (making its Mr Porter debut). Amiri embellished,
hand-painted leather
jacket, about $24,700;
t-shirt, about $440; and
jeans, about $1640.
A little kooky
Play the coquette with these fun shades from Salvatore Ferragamo. The geometric design and oversize frames are made for not taking life too seriously. $570. Tel:1800 251 025
Add some kick
Dial up the attitude with Bally’s leopard-print loafers. They’re ideal for the gentleman who likes a little flair. $1195. Tel: 1800 781 851
Be original
A little mystery can be awfully alluring, and here is where Penhaligon’s new fragrance, Clandestine Clara, fits in. Part of the fragrance house’s Portraits Collection, a paen to eccentric British types, the scent features
notes of rum vanilla,
cinnamon musk and
amber patchouli. 75ml,
$369. Agence de parfum
Heady tipple
Distilled small-batch style in Marrickville, Sydney, is Poor Toms Gin. Distillers and friends Griffin Blumer and Jesse Kennedy recruited chemist Marcel Thompson to guide their experimentations. Their original tipple, Sydney Dry Gin, is steeped with 10 botanicals and you’ll taste juicy green apple and chamomile against the classic juniper.
They recommend
serving with a strawberry.
Around $70.
