It seems as if everyone who is going anywhere this evening is going to be at the Sensation White Party. However I know there are still a lot of you out there looking for things to do this New Years Eve in Melbourne. So here’s a couple of stylish soiree selections to give you some inspiration.
La Vie En Rose – The be held at Angelucci’s, 500 Chapel Street, South Yarra from 7pm to 3am. Complimentary champagne is provided on arrival and at midnight. Fresh oysters both natural and kilpatrick are to be served along with unlimited caviar, sushi, canapes and tapas until 10pm. The dresscode is cocktail or, as suggested, ‘like a work of art’ and the music will be uplifting house. A roaming photographer will be on hand to take your portraits on the night and these photos will be available for you after the event. Sounds like a little slice of luxury to us. Gold tickets are $55 dollars on the door while Platinum tickets are 110 dollars and include a $100 drink card. Visit here for more.
Shanghai Swing - And from the “wish we could be there” realm…Crown is playing host to 1000 invite-only guests in their massive Palladium Ballroom this evening. Their New Years Eve event is themed “Shanghai Swing” to which they say envision the opening number in Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom where Kate Capshaw does a rendition of ‘Anything Goes’ in her sparkly red cheongsam. So the space is to be decked out with a festive 1930’s Asian influence. The lovely Anne Peacock is hosting with Tottie Goldsmith, David Campbell and band are performing as well as the Ministry of Dance in full Oriental costume. It should be glorious cabaret evening Art Deco style (add their six-course banquet and I’m in heaven).
Me? After a hectic November/December I’ll be cuddling up at home with my new husband, a few close friends, a wedge or two of brie and several bottles of Moet. Perfection! Happy 2009 New Year StyleMelbournites!
