Three & Seven
Following years of refining, not to mention a 15-year career working for the likes of Scanlan Theodore and Decjuba, Milly Higgins knows what makes a good shirt. That experience has become Three & Seven, a five-style range that includes oversized, sleeveless, boxy and dress options, constructed in Japanese cotton. They’re designed and made in Melbourne, from $370. More details at threeandseven.com.
State Buildings
Whether it’s the light and bright Long Chim courtyard, luxurious surrounds of Wildflower or the grand Postal Hall, there are a wealth of choices for your big day at the State Buildings. If finding the perfect location is on your radar, on September 13 the Buildings will host its Wedding Open Day, offering future brides and grooms the opportunity to explore the spaces that will be styled by top vendors and go into the running for giveaways (including a night at COMO The Treasury). Register your interest at State Buildings.
Love Actually
Hugh Grant dancing to The Pointer Sisters, the iconic cue-card love confession, the frantic airport dash — there is a lot to love about this beloved Christmas film. If it’s on regular rotation in your house, then Love Actually In Concert — the film playing on the big screen while the Perth Symphony Orchestra performs the soundtrack live — needs to be added to the festive itinerary. It’s showing at Riverside Theatre on December 9, tickets at Ticketek.
Zoe Foster Blake
Founder, author, fashion icon and owner of the cutest cats — is there anything Zoe Foster Blake can’t do? Alongside the announcement of her newest novel Group Chat being released on September 29 — described as a love letter to female friendship — comes a string of conversations that she’s touring across Australia. She’ll be in Perth on November 3 and 4 at Perth Mess Hall, tickets are $82.65 at Oztix.
Mojos
The beloved North Fremantle institution has undergone an evolution, but don’t worry, the late-night gigs aren’t going anywhere. Now, it will be open seven days for a pick-your-own-adventure type evening — a beer in the backyard, a feed from the new Greek-inspired kitchen or hazy night dancing along to your favourite band. There will also be a range of free live music and daily activities, including an open mic, pool competition and pub quiz.
Dog Day
In honour of International Dog Day this week, QT Perth are welcoming a week-long celebration of our furry friends — dishing out complimentary sprinkle cakes for dogs (and one for their humans too) for every pup staying the night. How cute! @qt_perth
