Another racing season over, another zillion beautiful girls pack it up for a year. The weather gave us drama and goosebumps. But I kinda miss the gals parading in the open air between the Members and the Track. Like some blithely disconnected continuum of colour, up steps, across and down steps, running like a beautiful rivulet through an otherwise traffic-jammed or race-riveted crowd.
PAINTINGS BY GEORGE EUSTICE - These whimsical oil paintings are a unique take on Melbourne. Exhibition opens October 18, Gallery Upstairs at Melbournestyle. View the exhibition online HERE and the Launch party HERE.

SINEW AND SILHOUETTE. Form and function. Horse and human. Bushranger and mount. Rock and roll. Could it be more beautiful? This exquisite rockinghorse is the work of Melbourne sculptor Rob Miller. Made for the artist’s own daughter, it caught our eye at Melbournestyle… So, now it can be made just for you. Hand carved from cyprus and finished in Japan Black, it is strong enough to hold the weight of an adult, and beautiful enough to never be used. Approx 2m wide by 1m high.
