Great clothes are like good husbands. They last and go the distance in the hectic lifestyle of everyday life. This is a great designer collection of Australian womens' wear made from the finest and most luxurious materials such as cashmere, wool, cotton yarn. They may seem very expensive upfront but believe me it will go the distance in the long term. Flagship investment pieces that are timeless. I just wish more women knew about this great store (also have one in Armadale). Beautiful Italian shoes and boots too! Us Australian women deserve more than clothes that only last a dozen washes.

This review is for Renaissance Hairdressing, Melbourne VIC

Went here for a style cut and thought it was the best hairdresser yet. The stylist listened to what I wanted and gave advice on what was and was not achievable with my hair condition. My stylist gave excellent advice as to how to style my hair. Reflects excellent value and recommended. Very talented staff and also does beautiful wedding hair and makeup!

An interesting location that felt warm and homely in a good friend's conservatory room. Food is locally sourced and tastes so delicious and fresh. Melbourne needs more of these little establishments that reflect local flavours and personality.

Had the lunch special a number of times and could not fault the service, taste and quality of ingredients. A lovely spot for quiet romantic night or corporate dinners. Love the outdoor dining area and warm interior fireplace. Highly recommended!

This review is for Joomak, Melbourne VIC

17 Jun 2012

This is a great place for late night food. A little hidden but very cute booths once inside. Don't be put off by the entrance-way because once you are inside it's like an entirely different place. Good Korean food and impressive drinks listing. Staff are generally good but had one very unhelpful waitress that took down my number incorrectly so we didn't get the callback to say our table was ready.

Outstanding butcher producing the best quality meats and smallgoods! You will never go back to the supermarkets again. You get what you pay for but I found that I needed less as it was more quality over quantity.

This review is for Greg Evans, Melbourne VIC

17 Jun 2012

I would never compromise one of life's most special event like a wedding with mediocre celebrants. I used Greg Evans and he was wonderful. He is the flagship celebrant who knows how to capture and engage the audience. Definitely worth every cent and our wedding guests have praised that this was the best ceremony they have ever been to. Very highly recommended.

This review is for Glenda Cafe, Port Melbourne VIC

17 Jun 2012

A bakery / cafe that serves Vietnamese meals and salad rolls. Food was good, the cafe was filled with just too many tables and they need to fix the ventilation if you are dining inside due to the smell of cooking oil filling the dining area. I believe the food has been tailored to a more Western palate here but tasty all the same. Recommended for a good value!

This review is for Omah's, Port Melbourne VIC

16 Jun 2012

We dined at Omah's and found it to be a lovely little find in the quiet end of Port Melbourne. The menu looks reasonably priced and was quite surprised that the food was great quality. The chef must have gone easy on the seasoning but still great food. We had the mixed entree, curry plate consisting of 3 curries and Omah's duck. All were good and you have a sense that this is the refined Malaysian fare! Service was attentive and the drinks were delicious, especially the "Mimi Crush" - a must try. The restaurant was labelled with signs as "Opah's" outside but menus and fittings inside showed "Omah's". Will be back to try more dishes (Fried Kway Teow $13 -- pretty good!), actually a good price point given the quality of ingredients and service despite a no doggy bag policy : (

Approximate cost: $25
