Reading: "Mr. Einstein’s Secretary" by Matthew Reilly”
I got lost in the fast-paced narrative and devoured this in a weekend in the captivating world of historical fiction with "Mr. Einstein’s Secretary" by Matthew Reilly. Set against the backdrop of a fast-paced narrative, this gem introduces us to a remarkable female protagonist, weaving a tale that intrigues and captures until the very last page. A perfect companion for cosy evenings, this book promises to whisk you away on an unforgettable journey through time.
Watching: "The New Look"
I can't get enough of the exquisite fashion, rich decor and complex characters, "The New Look" transports you to a bygone era with a compelling exploration of French fashion during the tumultuous times of World War II. Witness the resilience and creativity of iconic fashion houses as they navigate the challenges of Nazi occupation and emerge as pioneers of modern couture. With Ben Mendelsohn's mesmerising portrayal of Christian Dior, this series is a visual feast for fashion aficionados and history buffs alike.
Seeing: ‘RBG: Of Many, One’
I was lucky enough to get tickets to see this before the curtain closed on its run, "RBG: Of Many, One" continues to resonate as a testament to the indomitable spirit of one of America's most iconic figures. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's extraordinary journey is brought to life with unparalleled depth and authenticity, leaving audiences spellbound with its gripping narrative and stellar performances. Keep an eye out for future showings, as this is an experience not to be missed.
Exploring: Louise Bourgeois Exhibition at Art Gallery NSW
This exhibition is captivating, curious and confronting in equal measure. I am still thinking about it and discussing it with friends. The enigmatic works of Louise Bourgeois in the exhibition "Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day" at the Art Gallery NSW. Delve into a world of profound introspection and emotive expression as Bourgeois challenges perceptions and evokes deep contemplation. Thought-provoking and at times confronting, this exhibition invites you to explore the intricacies of the human experience through the lens of one of the most influential artists of our time.
Drinking: Pisco Sour
I discovered this cocktail at the Melbourne eatery, Pastuso, on AC/DC lane and it's quickly become a favourite!
Originating from Peru, this invigorating cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to lazy summer afternoons transitioning into cosy autumn evenings. With its harmonious blend of Pisco (a type of brand), citrus, and a hint of sweetness, each sip is a celebration of life's simple pleasures.
We hope these curated obsessions ignite your curiosity and add a touch of magic to your days. Until next time, stay inspired, stay curious, and keep exploring the extraordinary world around you.
Live beyond ordinary,
