The weather, the people, the ambience — it’s absolutely phenomenal in Autumn and the number 8 tram will take you straight to the heart of Chapel St South Yarra for Bloom’s boudoiresque beauty boutique at #574A or clean up your image with a refresh at Cyberia #570. For “get the girl” mens cool casual, check out Marcs at #576 followed by a quick revive at Caffe e Cucina #581 or The Pound # 5/556.

For runway inspired accessories be seduced by the luxe fabrics, beading and lace of Collette Dinnigan at #553 before crossing back over for Alannah Hill girly chic at #529. Make a note of Red Bennies #373 for an evening of rambunctious jazz before pushing on and turning right at Commercial Rd for Australia’s oldest food market, Prahran Market and the effortlessly elegant Market Lane for non-compromising Cafenatics.

Check out the raw and controversial work of our most successful living artist at The Cullen Hotel #164, while enjoying the sublime chilli wontons from Hutong Dumpling Bar. Back to Chapel and turn right looking out for the clock tower and Greville Street.
