Upon entering the floral-cave of Sydney based Botanical Director, Saskia Havekes, I was immediately taken by the remarkably crisp floral aroma of the space. Many floristry spaces I have visited in the past have many scents going on, to the extent of confusion and overwhelming. However, Grandiflora possesses a distinctly pleasant and calming scent.

A very special thank you to the incredible CHANEL BEAUTY global team for organising my hair and makeup and for making the entire process feel so effortless.
There is something so special about having a team around you who understand the vision, know exactly what works and somehow make the whole experience feel relaxed and fun.
For 72 hours, we traded the everyday for something altogether more intoxicating - arriving in Paris for Coco Crush and the launch of its newest fragrance, Absolu Crush.
From the first afternoon to the final dance, it was a weekend of dressing up, getting close, staying out late and letting Paris do what Paris does best: seduce.
A celebration of allure, indulgence and the irresistible new Absolu Crush. Welcome to an evening where every detail is designed to captivate, and every moment leaves a lasting impression.
Paris after dark, a room full of women from across the world, CHANEL, champagne, flowers - and a dinner that ended with a very unexpected surprise. From getting dressed at the Park Hyatt to an intimate evening at Vaudeville Brasserie with the CHANEL girls.
Come inside the evening.
Paris, Chanel, and the beginning of something unforgettable.
We checked into the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme at 09:00 and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful welcome. The perfect start to three very chic nights in Paris.
Just four guests, one unforgettable evening. Chanel transformed an intimate dinner into a masterclass in quiet luxury, where thoughtful conversation, impeccable taste, and unforgettable moments lingered long after dessert.
Chanel's exclusive Sublimage Collection Masterclass in Bantry Bay was an exquisite celebration of beauty and luxury. With breathtaking Atlantic views, an exceptional lunch by Johannes of Botanicus, and an inspiring masterclass led by Niven, every detail - from the elegant setting to the curated experience - was thoughtfully crafted and utterly unforgettable.
After living with Sony's 1000X THE COLLEXION Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - from early morning runs to the daily commute - I discovered a product that delivers where it matters most: comfort, clarity and the rare ability to make the world quietly disappear.
Perched on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains in Stellenbosch, Tokara is where exceptional wines, award-winning olive oils, and breathtaking Cape Winelands views come together.
There is something incredibly special about travelling with someone who has known you for more than three decades. Someone who remembers every version of you .. the younger you, the more chaotic you, the dressed-up you, the tired you .. and who can still make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
