The day we went to Bondi Beach wasn’t the best of weather for a day out on, well, a beach. The wind was very cold, and being true Mumbaikars, we aren’t used to the low temperature there. But in all fainess, the beach is beautiful, with lots of activities. A two minutes walk away was the Bondi Beach Flea market which turned out to be a great place for some bargain buys. And the market had a lot of stuff for the shopoholics. But what stole out hearts was this small, but utterly breathtaking place- So Gorgeous. It is a treasure-trove of all things beautiful, from French inspired homewares and furniture to gorgeous jewellery. The owner, Rebecca, started the shop after an earlier stint as a lawyer and a chef/caterer. And then, So Gorgeous happened!
Rebecca’s own words describe her shop the best. “I endeavour to fill So Gorgeous with only beautiful things that I love. When a customer enters my shop I treat them like they are visiting my home. From the moment you walk in, your senses are fulfilled. You can smell it (vanilla bean), you can hear it (great background music), you can see it (soft colours and glittering jewels), and you can touch it (gorgeous fabrics and body products).”
We found a lovely gift for a friend who is getting married. And that was just one of the many lovely things this shop has to offer. Among other things, we saw crystal charms, lockets, jewelry boxes, votive holders, mirrors and baby products. So, the next time you are in Sydney, please make this shop a Must Visit for yourself. And stock up on things that are just So Gorgeous!

Hi Prati! So glad you had such a wonderful time in Sydney! And happy to know you are OK and safe after the tragedy that struck Mumbai. That market at Bondi Beach looks like such fun! Wish I could have shopped with you! :-) Take care my friend! XOXO
Jenn, what a surprise! Good to see you here. Sydney was a lot of fun, yes. And I am glad we lived through the Mayhem. I hope that no city in the world has to ever again live through this nightmare.
That is a gorgeous shop...it's wild her name is the same as mine and I'm considering Law school...
Everything there is pure eye candy! I love antiques and everything "shabby chic". The jeweled encrusted art nouveau vanity set is to die for!
wow i'd love to see it all in person!
I hope that my girl don't find this shop ajajajaja, just kidding the place look full with all that a girl could have to decorated her room.
One of the reasons why I like visiting your blog so much is because it has become a daily reference I can use in order to learn new nice stuff. It's like a curiosities box that surprises you over and over again.
