QueensPlaza is a Brisbane shopping icon, plain and simple. It’s long be home to Brisbane’s fanciest boutiques—Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, David Jones and more—but, to our great pleasure, we’ve just discovered the shopping is in throes of a $36 million-dollar renovation. 

If you’re reading this, you’re looking for an excuse to justify moving your extensive shopping wish list to cart. Good news is, so are we. So we’ve got five flawless reasons you should stop dreaming and make 2019 the year you invest in the three ‘ilitys’: versatility, durability, practicality

Not to be dramatic, but news of a new rooftop spot opening is high up with there with the best news, ever. Especially when it’s almost summer, the weather is heating up, and the sun sets that teensy bit later (soz, Daylight Savings). Given the level of competition in Brisbane, taking out title of best rooftop spot is no mean feat. But, in Blackmarket Bar & Grill we think we have a new champion. 

The first sighting of fairy lights in the home and decor aisle of Kmart means Christmas is about to come at us full throttle from every angle and it’s only a matter of time until every venue in and around Brisbane is booked to capacity from now until next February.

Life changing is an understatement.

Melbourne Cup is great because it’s on a Tuesday. So if you’re one of the lucky few you can convince your boss to let you and the team take the afternoon off to enjoy food, dranks, and of course, the race that stops the nation.

Debunking dress codes is tricky business, so we’re doing away with the standard categories like ‘formal’ or ‘smart casual’ (WTF even is this) in favour of something a lot more applicable: millennial dress codes (aka the ones you actually live by). 

Living in Brisbane, it’s easy to feel like you know absolutely everything about our city. Everyone has their favourite route to get home, they’re favourite secret parking spot, and hidden menu item. But, the truth is: there’s so much all of us don’t know about our city!

When we speak about food, we tend to speak in hyperbole. It’s hard not to when we pride ourselves on being ride-or-die foodies.

Spring is back, baby. The sun is out, the Jacarandas are almost in bloom, and winter feels like but a distant memory. With spring comes not only our fave weather ever, but also our fave social season ever: it’s the spring racing carnival, guys!

Hands up, who else had serious FOMO when they weren’t invited to the Tom Ford runway at this year’s NYFW? We 100% feel you and we’re still holding out hope that we’ll have better luck next year. 

In case you haven’t heard the news yet, Cairns is the next big thing. Why? Because it’s close to the reef, it’s packed full of stunning (and relatively empty!) beaches, there is a plethora of waterfalls nearby to explore, the food is delicious, and because Pacific Hotel is actually that good you’d book a trip to Cairns just to stay there.

Sick of hearing the smashed avo joke thrown back at you when you wax on about ‘adulting’? Same.

Guys, it’s September already. We don’t know how this happened, and we swore this year we wouldn’t be one of those people who comment on how fast the year has gone. But, how fast has the year gone?! Sorry, we had to.

Your wallet will love you.

Because the cloak of winter is finally being pulled away (not that we can really call ** this ** winter, but hey) we thought there was no better time to pull together a to-do list of the most stunning spots in South East Queensland to explore this weekend.

Okay Queensland, let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty that makes up our state: from the Daintree up north, to the stunning countryside out West, and the red ochre earth somewhere in the middle, there’s no shortage of natural beauty to marvel at here, that’s for sure.

Finding the perfect event space is hard. Nothing is ever cool enough, the right price, or feels like it’s perfect for you. We get it. We’ve been there done that, and have the Google history filled with “cool event space near me” to prove it.

Could Bundaberg be the new ultimate weekend getaway? Whether it’s the rum, the sunshine or the wildlife that will bring you to Bundaberg, there are plenty of reasons to stay for a while. 

We asked the hard questions and you answered—who does the best burger, coffee, breakfast and everything in between on the Gold Coast! It’s like chosing between your children, but you did it! We’ve trawled through all your votes for your fave hot spots in the Gold Coast and without further ado, here they are:

Hands up who loves (read: desperately needs) a holiday? Hands up who needs a cheap holiday? That’s what we thought. Well, folks, we’ve got some freakin’ huge news for then: Flight Centre’s infamous travel expo is heading to town this weekend only, and you can grab a seriously impressive discount on your trip.

When a restaurant has a drinks list specially designed to compliment the food, we know it’s going to be a good one—Chop Chop Chang’s you’ve won our hearts. It’s hard not to head to Chop Chop Chang’s everyday for lunch or dinner when it’s so fast and fresh, and it’s even harder to say no to desert when they have spiced apple dumplings with cinnamon sugar, caramel and your choice of home made ice cream—mouth is watering just thinking of them.

Having nothing to wear is a real problem. One that seems to only bless the less stylish of us. After much research (read: stalking cool girls on Instagram) we can confirm that these six items are the building blocks of stylish wardrobes around the world.

ICYMI Yacht Week is the floating paradise of your dreams.

​It’s 3pm—prime snacking time—but there are just a few problems: you’re bored senseless of your standard green apple, you’re hangry and you’re about to flip your keyboard and walk straight out of the office door unless you eat something soon.

What’s everyone’s favourite four letter word? Beer? Glad we can agree on that! Well beer lovers, have we got some good news for you…

Japan is one of our favourite places on earth. Fact. So, when we found out there’s a festival going down that has the potential to snatch the crown from our festival right off Coachella. If you’ve been to Japan before, chances are you done all of the usual tourist offenders, so use this occasion as the perfect excuse to discover Gion, a tiny pocket of history just outside Kyoto.

Paris is potentially the tourist capital of the world. It can be hard to truly immerse yourself in the city when everywhere you look someone is bumping into you with their selfie stick or shouting awful French at a local as they struggle to find the nearest Maccas—not exactly the vibe all of the saved snaps of paradise in your Insta feed gave you. But fear not, because we’ve teamed up with experts on all things Parisian, L’OR Espresso, to bring you five things you didn’t know you could do in Paris. 

No travel bucket list would be complete without an appearance from the USA. And—newsflash—there’s so much more to America than New York. 

Hands up who’s addicted to shopping. And keep ‘em up if you're that co-worker whose desk is littered in online shopping deliveries pretty much five out of five working days? Yup. We’re all guilty. But if we’re being honest, we’re a little over the whole online shopping fail thing—there’s only so many times a gal can show her face at the post office with an armful of returns.

Travelling with kids is never easy.

Fact: the perfect getaway includes sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and an abundance of palm trees. Sounds like a total dream, right?

If you’re anything like us, you will have had a trip to Paris on your bucket list for years. And why wouldn’t you? Croissants for breakfast, endless servings of cheese, and a city so pretty you won’t ever get tired of the view. Well, stop that day-dreaming right now and consider this a sign: Bastille Day is fast-approaching and it’s the absolute best time to visit Paris if you want the full French experience.

Ohhhh, winter. You’re so close we can feel it (literally).

It’s no secret that gin is totally having a moment right now. No longer the drink-of-choice for the sensible sipper, gin has made one epic comeback and we couldn’t be more on board. So when we heard that the legends over at SkyPoint decided to combine two of our favourite things in their cannot-miss Gin and Jazz event, we just had to share.
