Dresses To Make You Drool
So you and your special someone have decided to put a ring on it and tie that knot! Hoorah! The next exciting step is the planning, and truthfully, what is more important on the special day than the wedding dress itself? Will it be a princess style puff of lace and silk?

There are many things to consider so we’ve compiled a list of some of the best bridal boutiques on the Gold Coast, to get you into that dress and down that aisle.

Feasts, Festivities & Royal Fashion Faves!
Well, it's official - It's 2019! Over the past 365 days we've celebrated diversity at the Commonwealth Games, eaten our way around the Gold Coast, enjoyed theatrical talent at the Home of the Arts and spent way too much time at the beach soaking up the sun. We said goodbye to 2018 and hello to 2019 with a bang, and now it's time to step into the new year and all of the magic that it will bring. 2019 already has shows, food, fashion and culture in spades - And we can't wait to see what else this year will bring!

Five Of The Best Places To Buy A New Bikini This Summer
There's no denying it - Bikini season is finally here. The weather is warming up, the days are getting longer and dreams of weekends by the beach are finally looking like a reality once again. Apart from spending the day soaking up the rays with friends, bikini shopping is one of our favourite parts of Summer, and with so many brands, styles, colours and cuts available, picking the perfect bikini is a serious art. City Beach and Kmart are great and all, but unless you want to show up to the next beach day wearing the same bikini as your friend (#awkward!), it's time to shop around a little - And we've got just the places for you!
