I had a fabulous time and the pleasure of interviewing Alister Haigh for the Haigh’s Chocolates Meet the Maker event! The event was to celebrate the recent opening of their new store in Toorak Village & 56 years of being on Toorak Rd. 
Let’s take a look at some of the action from the night…
Visit Haigh’s Chocolates at 457 Toorak Rd, Toorak.
As Marketing Manager at Blackburn Square, we’re excited to launch the new store of Allure Beauty Room! This is the launch of the first stage of the redevelopment, check out my photos of this gorgeous new salon!
The machines have taken over Chapel Street Precinct for Robot SPACEland.
I was living my transformer childhood fantasy roaming around on opening night to grab the images for this story.
This free open air exhibition has four interactive displays. They can be viewed at all hours of the day but the light show happens after dark.
The 17 metre high robot is a must-see with energetic visuals and punchy electronic beats.
Robot SPACEland is on till 31st Jan 2021 around the Chapel Street Precinct.

Loving this festive space at Prahran Square, I had just had to grab a picture on this glorious summer day in Melbourne.
This news has made my day! A re-worked Melbourne Fashion Week will run from 23-29 November. COVID-19 has seen them push the reset button and re-think the ways in which to support our local designers and retailers. This year, for the first time ever, they’ll be presenting a program featuring both digital and in-person events – if COVID-19 restrictions allow.
The 100-per-cent-free event will include an impressive line-up of digitally delivered runways from some of Melbourne’s favourite local designers and emerging fashion talent. They’ll also be presenting digital talks with industry experts as well as some in-person elements, factoring in social distancing restrictions.
Stay tuned in the coming months for more on M/FW 2020 >> https://mfw.melbourne.vic.gov.au/subscribe/
Hope you’re hungry! I dropped by newly opened The Collective Dumpling in Toorak Village. This new hot spot serves a delicious mix of northern and eastern Chinese food. Home made dumplings are their speciality. Let’s take a look at some of my delicious snaps – the honey chicken was my absolute fave!
