Recently I got a big surprise. My best friend, who has been playing with snow in Canada for the past 6 months, without telling anyone, decided to purchase a plane ticket to come home for a whirl-wind visit. So when she stepped into the boutique to greet me, I got the shock of my life! Just the day before I was talking to her on Facebook thinking she was still in Whistler! I was off to the launch of Esquire Home collection at Robertsons Furniture so I brought Jo along as my date!
The world is so small. It turns out that Jo used to work at the vet clinic where Australian iconic fashion designers Jenny Bannister (centre) takes her dog to! Jenny’s dog is also Theodore, but ‘Teddy’ for short. Would love for her dog and our Theodore to meet! Their sheer size difference would make agreat photo!
Esquire Home is a uber-sophisticated collection of bachelor pad furniture. So who better than celebrity stylist Phillip Boon to be the host of the night! Phillip is always immaculate, I’ve never seen his hair out of place!
Can you spot the difference between these photos? Jo and I thoroughly enjoyed sampling the Esquire Home collection. ‘Man at his best’ is the brand’s philosophy, Esquire started in 1933! This iconic brand produces pieces that every man would want. Or woman! I would love to have these pieces of furniture in my home too!
This is my favourite piece in the Robertsons showroom. I can imagine my husband and I working opposite each other on this table. There are plenty of drawers to hide food stashes and stationery. Tehehe. Totally adding classy furniture to my wish list! If you are looking to renovate, do not forget to visit Robertsons! Visit them at 525 Church St Richmond.
I hope you’ve all had a lovely long weekend! What did you all do? Did you go away or chillax at home? I worked at the vets all weekend and caught up with friends after hours :)
What I wore: Felder Felder Daria jacket (unfortunately this item is now sold out at the boutique), vintage dress, Repetto Garbo booties, Mawi ring.
