Books & Nooks hits The Corner Shop

The Corner Shop in the Strand Arcade
I am such a fan of these events, expertly organised by Angela Purnell in decadent Sydney haunts. The last was an intimate soiree with Pia Jane Bijkerk at Potts Point’s Velluto, the next a lesson in creating a failsafe core wardrobe from Grazia journo and style guru, Dijanna Mulhearn at my favourite designer boutique, The Corner Shop in Sydney’s Strand Arcade.
With winter upon us, I could do with a little advice on effortless, fun dressing which doesn’t freeze the euphemisms off.
Date: Wednesday, 27 July
Time: 6pm-8pm
Location: The Corner Shop, The Strand Arcade, Sydney CBD

Books & Nooks with Pia Jane Bijkerk
You might remember an earlier post on blogger, photographer & stylist, Pia Jane Bijkerk (I bought Paris: Made by Hand, which became my No.1 shopping guide when we were in Paris last year).
Pia lives the kind of life so many of us dream of – between Sydney, Paris and a houseboat in Amsterdam – and has a new book out next month, which looks to be just as inspiring as her blog. She’ll be talking about My Heart Wanders for Books & Nooks, the wonderful Sydney book event organisers. This one takes place behind a lushly draped black velvet curtain at Velluto champagne bar in Potts Point. I’m taking my girlfriend Katrina, while our husbands hold the babes. Hurry if you want to secure tix – they’re almost sold out.
