As one of Australia’s largest design fairs, Denfair is the go-to event for anyone working in – or simply admiring of – Australian design. A valuable resource for designers, architects, interior stylists and design lovers, the fair brings together some of Australia’s best emerging and established design brands all under one roof.

Now in its fifth year, the three-day event is held at Melbourne’s Convention and Exhibition Centre in South Wharf from 20-22 June. Open to both industry insiders and the public (on Saturday), the event coincides with the Australian Institute of Architects’ (AIA) National Architecture Conference to offer a snapshot of where the Australian design and architecture industries are right now.

Visitors will be able to browse new collections from some of Australia’s leading designers and retailers, and chat to exhibitors about the products on show. And as you will know, seeing and touching a lounge or a light fitting up close is a wholly different experience to seeing it on Instagram or styled in a photo. Consider this a valuable time to get tactile with a bunch of new design pieces.

The theme of this year’s fair is Life Work, so expect some exhibitions to consider the way our home and work lives are merging, too. And as with other years, you can also expect to see cool installations and exhibits from the fair’s sponsors. This year, in particular, we’ll be on the lookout for the Living Bar by Adam Cornish and Junglefy, the first-floor Lounge by Spacecube, the foam Speaker Space curated by Sandra Tan, and the #futurework working station by Futurespace. Oh, and when you get tired, don’t forget to stop by the café by PGH Bricks for some much-needed sustenance. Given the number of exhibitors this year, you’ll likely need all the energy you can get.

Promptly after announcing their engagement in January of 1999, Prince Edward, the Queen’s youngest son, and his future bride, Sophie Rhys-Jones, made it clear they wanted their wedding to have none of the pomp of a typical royal event. The pair, who had met at a tennis match in 1993, declined for their wedding to be a state occasion, meaning there was no ceremonial state involvement, no politicians invited to the wedding and none of the usual military symbolism. They also asked female guests to opt for eveningwear rather than a day dress with a matching hat, and men to wear morning coats rather than the usual royal dress code of a uniform or more formal suit.

Their understated union took place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, with Prince Edward arriving on foot with his brothers Prince Charles and Prince Andrew, and the bride arriving with her father Christopher Rhys-Jones in a Rolls-Royce.

The bride wore an ivory silk organza wedding dress by Samantha Shaw, layered with a matching silk crepe coat and a veil with crystal beading. Of particular note was the bride’s tiara, a previously unseen piece from the Crown Jewel collection, which had royal historians debating its exact origins. Designed by the crown jeweller, David Thomas of Asprey and Garrard, the piece is made up of four detachable diamond anthemions said to be taken from one of Queen Victoria’s iconic crowns.

On their wedding day, the couple were pronounced as Their Royal Highnesses the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the unexpected earldom later being clarified by the monarchy – Prince Edward will become the Duke of Edinburgh when the title becomes available.

The Duchess of Sussex may be on maternity leave from royal duties after giving birth to son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to hear from or see the actress-turned-duchess until she returns to royal duties reportedly in the UK autumn (Australia’s spring) this year.

Since Archie’s birth in May we’ve already seen the duchess, 37, a handful of times including, an official photocall days after Archie was born to introduce the newest member of the British royal family to the world, during The Queen’s birthday celebrations at the Trooping the Colour earlier this month, and on Instagram, where she shared a very sweet snap of Archie’s feet cradled in her hand on Mother’s Day.

During her maternity leave, the duchess appears to still be quietly working on her patronages, the causes she has been named responsible for on behalf of The Queen.

Late last week, animal welfare charity Mayhew released their annual review for 2018 and while it’s not a document that would usually garner wide readership, it’s become a must-read, after it was revealed that the duchess penned the review’s foreword. Raising awareness of this cause, even while she’s on maternity leave, is exactly why Markle is the ideal royal patron for Mayhew.

As for the foreword itself, it is basically an essay in which Markle shares her “joy” of being a rescue dog owner. “As a proud rescue dog owner, I know from personal experience the joy that adopting an animal into your home can bring,” Markle writes in the Mayhew review foreword.

“The choice to adopt a pet is a big decision that comes with much responsibility. It will undoubtedly change your life.” Markle pens, finishing with a call to action to get involved with Mayhew and pet adoption in any possible way.

Markle does indeed speak from experience and the heart. According to Vanity Fair, before Markle married a prince and moved to a castle in the UK, Markle had two rescue dogs — Guy and Bogart. Guy and Bogart lived with her in Toronto, where she was based while she filmed Suits. However, when the duchess moved to London to wed Prince Harry only Guy, a beagle, was able to make the trip (the dog is such a special part of the family, he even travelled in the car with The Queen to Windsor for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 2018 royal wedding). Bogart stayed behind in Toronto with a friend, as he was reportedly too old to make the transatlantic trip. 

Markle was rumoured to have been heartbroken over having to leave Bogart behind (she clearly loves being a rescue dog owner). However, she and Prince Harry have reportedly adopted a new dog to keep Guy company and round out their rescue dog-loving family.

In 1997, Romy White and Michele Weinberger captured our hearts as they headed across the US towards their high school reunion in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, a movie that examines friendship, bullies and the damage of high school.

Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) were the Madonna-loving, Post-It-inventing BFFs whose clothing, with its “fun, frisky use of colour”, deserved as many accolades as the pairs’ friendship.

It’s one of those movies, like Clueless or Mean Girls, that is able to stand with confidence on its own but we would all love a sequel if it was possible. And maybe for Romy and Michele, it is—almost.

Sorvino, who spoke to Us Weekly on June 11 at the Jett premiere in New York City revealed she and Kudrow are down for a follow-up.

“We always hope so,” Sorvino said, who noted that the movie’s writer and producer Robin Schiff is also onboard.“[We] are all down for it. It’s just [up to] the powers that be,” Sorvino continued, adding that she and Kudrow are still good friends and often have lunch together.

It’s not the first time Sorvino or Kudrow have commented on the possibility of a sequel, with the former telling Us Weekly in 2018, “The fans have been clamouring for it”.

Likewise, Kudrow mentioned to E! in 2017 that she would be open to reprising her role “if it makes sense for those two people to be around my age and see what’s going on”.

Does it make sense to see where Romy White and Michele Weinberger are now, over 20 years after they stole the show in their platform heels and feather-trimmed mini dresses?

It’s likely fans will say ‘yes’ at the chance to catch up with their old friends some 30 years after Sagebrush High School’s 10-year reunion.

Held at Sydney’s Carriageworks, Vogue Codes Live 2019 wasn’t just a mentally stimulating event, but a visually inspiring one too. Thanks to the sartorially-inclined audience members on the day, the street style was worth its weight in gold, providing us with a stack of outfit references to package up with our career advice.

The event itself played host to a wonderful mix of speakers, including Kate Morris, Marie-Claude Mallat, and Deborah Symond O’Neil among others, who discussed beauty, fashion, pitching, and the gender pay gap, all through a tech lens. Vogue’s intention is to make tech fashionable (thus increasing its appeal and accessibility for women), so melding all of the above together is the perfect entry point for anyone seeking out a career in the industry.

There is no denying that there’s something rather special about Keanu Reeves, the musician-cum-movie star who has captivated our screens, as well as the entire female population, since he rose to prominence in the late 1980s. While it’s safe to say that the actor has held our attention since the 1989 comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, it’s also likely you’ve noticed his recent resurgence in popularity. But what is it about the mysterious, motorcycle-riding Reeves that fans just can’t deny?

Is it his knack for nailing every role he takes on? From a mock iteration of himself in Netflix hit Always Be My Maybe, to LAPD officer Jack Traven in the blockbuster that was Speed. Possibly his ability to remain heart-warmingly kind and surprisingly humble despite having dominated Hollywood since the 1990s? Or maybe that, at 54 years of age, he remains one of the best dressed men in the film industry? So well dressed, in fact, that he was recently named the new face of Anthony Vaccarello’s autumn/winter ‘19/‘20 collection for French fashion house, Saint Laurent.

Long before the term hipster was used to describe the trend that now sees attitudes of nonchalance and cool indifference overpower wardrobes, Reeves had the scene on lock with his washed denim, leather jacket and token motorcycle helmet, either perched atop his shaggy brunette crop, or not far out of reach. The former bass guitar player, who rocked out with Dogstar and Becky, pioneered normcore, paved the way for scumbro, and established himself as a fashion favourite from the very beginning. In order to prove it, Vogue looks back at a series of vintage images that will convince you Reeves was the original hipster, below.

Updated: Kristen Bell has taken to Instagram to announce the official return of Veronica Mars. According to Vanity Fair, all eight episodes of the revival will air on Hulu as soon as July 26.

“Attention all Marshmallows: BREAKING NEWS!!!!!” she captioned the video she shared announcing the news. “We are OFFICIALLY back in business!!! A new #veronicamars series is coming back, on @hulu !!!!”

“Veronica has always been a super hero without a Cape,” the actress continued. “And I think shes exactly what the world needs right now. Thank you to all my fellow marshmallows who stayed excited. Thank you to @hulu for the opportunity. I hope we’re still friends after I taser I you.” 

A photo of the cast from a table read shared in November by the show’s creator, Rob Thomas, also confirmed that Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs III, Daran Norris, Enrico Colantoni, and David Starzyk are set to star alongside Bell in the revival.

“From the #VeronicaMars table read. This is some indication of who is in episode 1. It doesn’t mean your fave doesn’t come in later,” Thomas tweeted.

iZombie’s Dawnn Lewis and The Good Place’s Kirby Howell-Baptiste have also been cast in the series, along with Patton Oswalt, Clifton Collins and Izabela Vidovic. For your first sneak peek of the revival, watch Hulu’s official trailer below. 

September 21, 2018:  Given the acclaim recent reboots have received following their return to our screens, it’s no surprise the revivals of some of our favourite series and movie classics continue to make headlines and news of the return of  is no exception. 

While it is yet to be officially confirmed, rumours of a  reboot have reached an all-time high and Rob Thomas, the screenwriter of the original award-winning series that ran from 2004 to 2007 and the 2014 film that followed, is doing nothing to squash them. 

Thomas has taken to Twitter to share a number of -related tweets in the last week including a throwback where he’s “remembering those glorious days of yore,” before sharing an article from that reads: “‘Veronica Mars’ Revival Series Near Deal At Hulu With Kristen Bell Reprising Role.”

If the rumours are true, Kristen Bell is set to reprise her role as the cluey private detective who dedicates her spare time to solving mysteries within California’s fictional town of Neptune. However, given that she currently stars in the NBC comedy , the revival’s filming schedule will be required to work around her current commitments.

Unfortunately, the series making its highly-anticipated return on the US streaming platform Hulu, meaning we won’t be able to watch it from Australia. But given the success the crowd funded  film—which rose over US$2 million in less than eleven hours before reaching a total of US$5.7 million—saw in 2014, we’re quietly confident it won’t take long for the revival to make its way to our shores.  

In May 2019, Hulu released a trailer for the upcoming Veronica Mars reboot and the air date new episodes will be available on the streamer – July 26, 2019.

The trailer is a treat for die-hard Veronica Mars fans showing a return to form for the attitude and taser-toting private eye, Veronica Mars (played by Kristen Bell). This time, Mars is investigating the murders of spring breakers in her hometown of Neptune, California, an macabre situation that’s damaging the tourism industry.

Vulture reports the series creator, Rob Thomas, who created both the original 2004-2007 series, the crowd-funded 2014 movie and the forthcoming reboot (the show’s “fourth season”), says the show’s new season is “hardcore So-Cal noir”, which is same vibe of the first three seasons and exactly what fans have been hoping for. Watch the trailer below:

Shorty after the world was given its first good look at the adorable Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a total of six weeks after his birth, news broke that the new royal would be christened as soon as next month. 

According to , the baptism is slated to take place in early July, meaning we now know when Archie will make his next public appearance, the first since he made his debut at St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle on May 8. 

While it’s likely that the majority of the British royal family will be in attendance, the publication’s royal correspondent, Roya Nikkhah, has confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II will not be there. 

“The Queen will miss the christening because of prior commitments,” Nikkhah explained. “She attended the christenings of Prince George and Princess Charlotte but missed Prince Louis’s baptism last year.”

With their decision to baptise Archie in July, it would seem that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have opted to follow royal protocol, which dictates a royal baby must be christened two-to-three months after their birth.

However, given that they are known to bend the rules, it will be interesting to see whether or not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will follow royal protocol for the other baptismal traditions such as announcing their son’s godparents, selecting an Archbishop to conduct the ceremony, and sitting down for a family portrait. 

In celebration of Father’s Day in the UK, we were treated to an intimate photo of Archie in Prince Harry’s arms. It was the perfect picture to tide us over until we get another glimpse of the new royal next month. 

“Happy Father’s Day!” The post’s caption reads. “And wishing a very special first Father’s Day to The Duke of Sussex!”
