WHERE WILL YOU SPEND CHRISTMAS? At my mother’s house at Sunshine Beach in sunny Queensland. Keep it crisp with white linen, woven tableware, crystal glassware and lots of gardenias and frangipani. I TEMS YOU ARE COVETING? Clara Adolphs’ nostalgic work and Noah Taylor’s quirky monochrome works. I’ve been wanting a Flexform ‘Lifesteel’ sofa and an Arvin Grex dog bed so my puppy Barney won’t sit on my new sofa! HOLIDAY TIPPLES? I’ll be keeping it pink and sipping Dom Pérignon Rosé and delicious Craggy Range Rosé. HOL IDAY FASHION MUST HAVES? Navy and white silks, linens and espadrilles. ULTIMATE HOLIDAY
Italy – I really want to get to Puglia. Italians do live la dolce vita – they’re not glued to their phones – they’re laughing, eating and drinking wine! WHAT IS ON YOUR SUMMER PLAYLIST? Triple J has always been the soundtrack to my summers but I love Double J too. Paul Kelly is on repeat at Christmas and so are The Preatures. NETFLIX/STAN/ITUNES BINGE? The Crown, Billions, The Affair, Rake, and I’m yet to watch Top of the Lake or The Handmaid’s Tale.
