Interview ELIZABETH CLARKE
Pink scented roses.
“Delightfully fragrant roses in the perfect shade of fuchsia pink. We have them in our garden and they remind us of our loved ones who are no longer with us.”
Cleo Lamps by Kelly Wearstler, POA, The Montauk Lighting Co.
“At home, we have several Kelly Wearstler ‘Cleo’ floor and table lamps, all from the first Visual Comfort & Co. lighting collection we imported into Australia. They have a special place in my heart.”
Birkenstock Arizona EVA Purple Fog Sandals, $100, BStore.
“I love these sandals, which are perfect for summer at the beach.”
Chanel 2.55 Handbag, POA, Chanel.
“I first saw the 2.55 at Barneys many years ago and fell in love with it. Years later, my husband Gino gifted me one. I love that this particular style has endured since it was created in 1955 by Gabrielle Chanel.”
Blue Star Sapphire dress ring.
“My late grandmother left me her sapphire dress ring, and all these years later I am still drawn to sapphire and lapis tones with star motifs.”
Matia by Emily Tsokos Purtill, $34.99, UWA Publishing.
“I love the tactility of printed books. It’s fun to travel through literature to different eras and places. I’m eager to read the newly released book Matia by my friend Emily Tsokos Purtill, an intergenerational story about a family of Greek Australian women.”
Triptych watercolours from Florence.
“The first original artworks I purchased were from a watercolour artist in Florence while on student exchange in Bologna in the mid-1990s. I cherish what these represent to me – a travel experience that began my love affair with Italy.”
Chantecaille Lip Chic, $73, Mecca Cosmetica.
“A little bit of French luxury every day—I have many shades on rotation.”
Pink Pony Ball Cap, POA, Ralph Lauren.
“I have worn this cap on repeat since purchasing one for all the girls in my family on a trip to the US. Ralph Lauren is one of my favourite brands. I admire that they make beautiful, practical things to fund their cancer support charity, Pink Pony.”
