CA and Cecille Jean Jewellery and accessories from Paris. We also have our very own, designer scarf cushion collection and an incredible vintage designer jewellery collection.
3. What inspired you to create this fabulous concept? My wife kept pushing me to explore my boundaries so Life.Style was in a way inspired by Soula-Marie.
4. Why did you choose this location? I just fell in love with the building, the wonderful 1940s Australian &damns feeling that it evokes.
5. What do you love most about Woollahra? I love the unique mix of retail and restaurants and the village feeling.
6. Your No.1 beauty tip for women is? Not to prime is a crime.
7. Favourite local cafe. Indigo in Double Bay. I just love its European feel and the eclectic mix of people.
8. Favourite local restaurant. I am a fan of Matt Moran’s Chiswick, but of course you cannot go past Bistro Moncur.
9. Favourite local bar. I love arriving at Limoncello for a fabulous dirty martini, and having it with the bruschetta.
10. Favourite local shop. Victor Churchill, the butcher. I love the pate and meats, because then I cook a good old fashioned Aussie barbecue. Napoleon Perdis Life.Style is located at 99 Queen St
