After 25 years working with the biggest names in fashion (including a decade at Vogue China), Grace has landed in Melbourne with some serious opinions about how we dress. She runs us through her new brand crushes, her thrifting tips and tricks, and we find out how a simple sock upgrade can transform your entire look.

What secrets does someone who works with the world's most exclusive perfume brands and has 76 fragrances in their personal collection actually know that the rest of us don't? In this week's episode, Kelly gets the ultimate fragrance education from Ethan Archer from Agency De Parfum! We're getting mind-blowing facts like why there are fewer professional perfumers than astronauts, the 800-year-old perfume house still making bestsellers, and which 500-year-old fragrance from 1533 is still flying off shelves. Plus, Ethan reveals he's wearing EIGHT sprays of perfume right now, why your nose goes blind to your own scent, and the real reason some people can't smell that they stink. We dive into whether seasonal fragrance switching is marketing or psychology, why dupes are like polyester couture, the truth about fragrance storage and expiration dates, and whether you need one signature scent or an entire fragrance wardrobe. From wedding day fragrance consultations to proper layering techniques, this episode will change how you think about scent forever. There's so much more fragrance wisdom coming in part 2 next week...

Time to spring clean your makeup stash! Leigh & Kelly are tackling the overwhelming task of decluttering your beauty collection without keeping "just in case" products forever. They're breaking down expiry dates (spoiler: powders last way longer than liquids!), sharing storage tips that actually matter, and revealing why that mascara you've been hoarding needs to go immediately. Plus, Kelly's got the ultimate deep-clean routine for your brushes and tools that goes way beyond your regular wash. Then they're solving the slicked-back hair dilemma! How do you get that chic, editorial look without looking like you haven't washed your hair in a week? They're covering the blonde vs brunette difference (it's huge!), sharing their favourite brushes and products to get the perfect look.

In this weeks second part fashion drop, our deep dive with trend forecasting genius Lucinda Pikkat, we get into how to actually discover those underground labels before everyone else does. Turns out Lucinda's secret weapon is diving into specific "categories" each week—right now she's obsessing over surf culture and spotting opportunities for Australian surf brands. We unpack whether coolness can be manufactured, with Lucinda breaking down the New Balance phenomenon—how Ryan Gosling literally threw them off a balcony in "Crazy Stupid Love" for being uncool, only for them to become fashion-girl essentials years later. Plus, discover Lucinda's "Country Club chic" style secrets and the top bougie and budget brand picks that deserve your attention.

In this two part fashion fix, Leigh Campbell chats with fashion whisperer Lucinda Pikkat about what really makes brands "cool"! With 15 years in PR and trend forecasting (and a cult TikTok following hanging on her brand advice), Lucinda breaks down why some Aussie labels thrive while others face-plant into irrelevance. From the resurrection of iconic Y2K brands, to why New Balance went from daggy dad shoes to must-haves, they unpack how cultural relevancy, brand identity, and a dash of rule-breaking create that coveted cool factor. Plus, Leigh loved chatting with Lucinda so much that we just had to ask her back for next weeks episode! Mamamia's studios are furnished with thanks to Fenton & Fenton.
