Crystal Boudoir - GPO Sydney No.1 Martin Place Sydney
If you haven’t been to the Crystal Boudoir, you will certainly go after you read the City Woman’s review - the show! The Celebs! And the HOT bar staff!!
‘Well what an experience that was! Where have we been and why oh why haven’t we done this before?’ That was the question Gemma and I asked our selves, after stepping into Crystal Bar’s new show on Saturday night, Crystal Boudoir. This is a tasteful, evoking 1920’s style Paris show that has to be experienced! ‘The stage show is a little burlesque, a little performance art, and a little dream sequence’.

Shopbop.com - Diamonds might have been Marilyn Monroe’s best friend - but times have changed and so have women. If you’d rather see your wardrobe filled with an iconic Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress than a predictable piece of jewellery, bookmark shopbop.com on your computer - and your boyfriend’s, and your best friends.
Best bit: choice! We Aussies are blessed with great local designers, but we’re a multicultural lot, too. It’s fabulous to be able to order international brands, some of which aren’t available on our shores. My favourites? Porter Grey for too-cute summer basics, and Thread Social, former bridesmaid dress designers doing a roaring trade in cocktail frocks. Mojito, anyone?
