MasterChef debate is dividing AMPR…

Team Adam or Team Callum? The fashion and events girls are all for Adam, with the lifestyle office split 2:2. All will be revealed on Sunday night when they cook off in a bid to win the title of Australia’s next MasterChef. I know we’ll all have our eyes glued to the tele!

Run Scotty Run – Springing Into Summer

Evie
On Tuesday of this week we were lucky enough to have two adorable babies and the new Run Scotty Run summer collection to play with.
Billie and James loved their time in front of the camera and looked very cute in the new Run Scotty Run range. They were full of giggles for us which made our job very easy! The hardest part was not being able to take Billie and James home with me…
The new Run Scotty Run collection will be in-store from early August available at the Run Scotty Run flagship Chadstone store as well as at Myer and all good children’s boutiques.

State of Design

Ann Morrison was invited to speak at the State of Design seminar series on the topic of: Get Noticed – It’s Called PR Darling! Moderated by Kate Vandermeer, Director of iSpyStyle, the other speakers were the very talented Kate Hannaford, Director of Moth Design and Alice Blackwood, Editor of DQ magazine. The seminar was a sell out with the audience’s live tweets displayed on a big screen at the front of the room. It was exciting to see the live feedback, particularly with the important discussion on Ann’s gorgeous neck piece!

As a part of State of Design, Melbourne Central is hosting a series of events by the Department of Counter Culture. The Counter Point exhibitions confound use and exchange value as well as propose alternatives through installation, intervention and publication.

LA Calling!

Pretty Woman 2

We wanted to share a lovely note from Chiara who is holidaying in the USA. For her birthday we gave her a spa treatment at the Beverly Wilshire hotel (yes, the same one from Pretty Woman).

Frankie was also in LA recently and had lunch at the Beverly Wilshire. She suggested it would be the perfect gift for when Chiara went.

Sounds like she enjoyed it!

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to write to say a big thank you to you all from LA! As I have just had my birthday gift, and WOW it was amazing!

I was meant to go yesterday however due to lots of tourist site seeing I had to change it to today. The Beverly Wilshire hotel spa is so beautiful, it made me feel so special, and very LA!! The trip has been amazing so far, and very busy.

Hope everything is well in the office – thinking of you all, and thank you again for the most generous gift.

See you soon,

Chiara x
