European Grandeur










 Brighton home now available on the market.

Inspired by a 1720s Parisian chateau built for the French Royal family, this magnificent residence offers luxury and European grandeur on a scale rarely seen in exclusive surroundings just metres from the beach and close to private schools and Church Street's cafes and boutiques.

Set behind wrought iron gates and a landscaped garden, a French mansard roof with a circular dormer window tops the dramatic facade, while inside a grand central imperial wrought-iron divided staircase curves up around a circular limestone wall beneath a domed ceiling.

Sophisticated, elegant and refined, the French provincial detail is evident throughout the home and the perfect balance of formal, casual and entertainment areas are achieved across the three levels.

A home office opening to a side terrace and a library or guest quarters with ensuite are complemented by elegant formal living and dining rooms, and a superb family living and dining precinct with a bank of French doors extending to a granite mosaic paved entertaining terrace and 12-metre lap pool. The luxurious kitchen is designed as both a showpiece and culinary hub with a French Lacanache oven, limestone covered range hood, stone island bench, BLUM self closing cabinetry and a separate food preparation kitchen.

Downstairs introduces a fitted home cinema with adjoining games room and bar, a six car basement garage, a 1350-bottle cellar and a second laundry. The top-level features four beautiful bedrooms all staged around the double-height void of the circular staircase and all feature ensuite access to stunning bathrooms.

The incredible fitout features the finest imported finishes from more than 800sqm's of Spanish marble, extensive granite and limestone including 4 limestone open fireplaces, five separate balcony or courtyard areas, delicate imported French tapware, French designed cabinetry, Graham Geddes accessories and extensive hand forged wrought iron.

Exceptional appointments include a lift providing access to the three levels, smart wiring, keyless entry, a full security system with 16-channel CCTV and 6 infra red security cameras, a Bose sound system, powder room, an elaborate data network system, and a 23,000 litre water tank.

Classic and Fabulous: Lady Dior Python Bag






I have planned to purchase a Dior bag for such a long time but we can't always have everything we wish for, right? Wait, wait, wait. Wait for the right moment. Finally I'm happy to announce that I'm now the proud owner of a Lady Dior Python Bag.

Last month when I was shopping with hubby at David Jones, we decided to go into Dior and see what colour availabilities they have in store. There were nude pink, red patent and black lambskin Lady Dior displayed on shelves. Nothing too exciting or attracted to me as I prefer a bright colour and a tri-colour would be even better.

I met this lovely SA Fion who was extremely helpful and asked me to try on a few different bags included Miss Dior and  Dior Granville. However, the only bag that was in my mind calling my name was the Lady Dior in medium size. Then Fion brought out an orange Lady Dior in lambskin which is a Spring Summer new colour for 2012 and it has just arrived. Hubby loves it. It is a very sharp colour and not something you will normally see on the street. I was not sure as there was no excitement when I saw the bag. I will not buy buy a bag I don't like. During that time, Fion also introduced me a few other options. Nothing's my cup of tea.

Then, the miracle happened. She asked me if I would like to see a python bag. It was love at first sight and I felt the butterflies in my stomach the moment my SA took it out from it's white dust bag. It was like a shinning 10 carats diamond under the spotlights. I knew it right away, it was going to be mine!

Absolutely an unexpected purchase! I have to thank my dear SA for her patience when serving me and willing to show me the bags from the back. She's an excellent well trained and skillful SA who's so helpful all the way but not pushy. I love the way she listened to her customer rather than just want to make a sale. I also respect SAs who has such great patience in the brand and willing to share her knowledge with others. Now by entering the Dior world. I have a very long wish list of Lady Dior in medium size.
