LIFE & ST YLE
Lynda shares some first and favourite things.
FIRST ADULT HOME? A gorgeous Victorian weatherboard in Brunswick, Melbourne.
BUCKET-LIST DESTINATION? Portugal. And I can never get sick of Venice (2) for its beauty. It took my breath away many years ago and I need to go back.
BEST MEAL EVER I have so many favourite haunts, mostly small places hidden in streets around Melbourne: Napier Quarter (1) and Marion Wine Bar (5) in Fitzroy, and City Wine in the city… I adore tiny, out-of-the-way places.
DREAM CAR Mercedes 280SL Pagoda roadster (4). It’s timeless and I am so very proud to own one. There is no other in my eyes!
I’D CROSS THE WORLD TO Visit any country I have not been to before. Overseas travel is my passion.
FAVOURITE FLOWERS Hydrangeas (9) or anything hand-picked from the garden.
FAVOURITE MUSICIANS Nick Cave, Nouvelle Vague, Serge Gainsbourg (7) and Cat Power.
FAVOURITE FASHION LABELS I don’t usually stick to one, I am forever changing. But I’ve always loved Scanlan Theodore (3) and small Melbourne labels such as Before March and Morrison.
FAVOURITE SCENT Le Labo Santal 33 (11).
ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FILMS Anything by Wes Anderson or movies directed by Tom Ford, especially A Single Man and Nocturnal Animals. I loved The Joker, Gattaca and Farinelli too.
WHICH INTERIOR DESIGNERS INSPIRE YOU? I am inspired by people – stylists, creators, retailers or individuals – just doing their own thing and are absolutely passionate about what they do. Interior designers I admire are Carole Whiting, Hecker Guthrie, Sibella Court (6) and my dear friend Louella Boîtel-Gill (8, and pictured with Lynda at top left).
A DESIGNER HOMEWARE PIECE I COVET IS… Vintage portraits – always.
SOMETHING I’D LIKE TO PURCHASE NOW IS… I collect vintage cocktail rings (10), so they are always on my wish list!
