RED MAGAZINE NOV 2010 OMG! OPRAH! According to The Age, (Sat.18/9/10 P.7 news) Melbournestyle's own Melbourne Scarves are the pefect gift for Oprah. And we agree of course. And so we went to Dinner with Oprah's peeps: More Oprah here... "Here is much more than a store, it is a history lesson, a celebration of all that is uniquely Victorian (including Ned Kelly), somewhere to lose yourself and delight in the sheer creativity on offer (tasteful creativity, of course, in true Melbourne style). It makes souvenir places seem very tacky in comparison. On Clarendon Street South Melbourne, it's the first and only experience of its kind. A visit to Melbournestyle is a must do." - Extract from RACV's 101 Best things to do in Victoria "THIS MELBOURNE MECCA IS BANISHING THE CULTURAL CRINGE WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE INTERPRETATIONS OF AUSTRALIAN ICONOGRAPHY." - HOME BEAUTIFUL magazine "IF YOU LOVE THIS FABULOUS CITY OR ARE LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT SOUVENIR....." - HOMESPUN magazine "There are no flippant inclusions.Everything has a reason for being - a connection to Melbourne or Melbourne people who are doing something special." - MELBOURNE LIVING Magazine, August 2009 Thanks to the fabulous people at Melbourne Living magazine for their tribute to our tribute to Melbourne.
