A Sunset Soirée: Azteca Margarita x Nine Lives Bazaar Rooftop Party


Coolangatta’s Pink Hotel played host to the ultimate summer celebration, as Nine Lives Bazaar and Azteca Margarita joined forces for an unforgettable rooftop party. With the golden hues of sunset painting the sky over Rainbow Beach, guests toasted to the launch of Azteca’s newest passionfruit margarita—an instant classic that will soon be a staple on every summer drinks menu.

The event was a vibrant fusion of fashion and flavour, and as a special treat, Nine Lives Bazaar gifted me the stunning Harper Mini Dress in Kasbah—a kaleidoscope of colour and effortless bohemian charm. I styled it off the shoulder with statement accessories: layered gold belts cinched at the waist, my go-to riding boots, and a pop of orange via a bold handbag. As always, layers of my favourite gold jewels completed the look, adding a touch of retro-glam to match the electric energy of the night.

With a view that stretched endlessly over the coastline, the rooftop was the perfect location for a celebration of bold style and fresh flavours. Sipping passionfruit margaritas under a candy-coloured sky, guests danced, mingled, and revelled in the nostalgia of a bygone era—perfectly fitting for a hotel that oozes rock and roll soul. Later, I retreated downstairs to one of the Pink Hotel’s neon-lit, retro-themed rooms, where the party vibes lingered well into the night.

The passionfruit Azteca Margarita is now available in all good liquor stores, ready to transport you straight to your own rooftop escape. And for those looking to channel effortless boho glamour, the Harper Mini Dress is available now at Nine Lives Bazaar.

Because some nights are simply too good to forget.

Designing My 2025/2026 Grad Collection

  Rada Priya 25/26' Concept board Fashion has always been a part of my creative soul, but after stepping away for years, returning through my studies has reignited a passion I thought I'd left behind. Now, deep in the concept phase of my 2025/2026 diploma graduation collection, I'm drawing inspiration from the opulence of Paris Couture Fashion Week SS25, particularly the breathtaking craftsmanship of Armani Privé. This collection is about honoring my roots in intricate beadwork while embracing sustainable practices and modern elegance. My design process starts with textiles, and my palette has evolved into a rich tapestry of verdant hues—lush greens, earth tones, metallic blues, and soft greys. Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Drag Me to Bingo

A growing archive of event posters I’ve designed for Buttery Chard’s Drag Queen Bingo - where camp meets Canva and every theme is a new visual playground. I draw inspiration directly from the queen herself and the show’s ever-changing themes: from flapper glam and Queen Bey’s  Cowboy Carter  to Christmas chaos and retro ‘80s realness. Each poster is created using Canva, guided by a strong intuitive eye for graphic detail - a skill I didn’t learn, but one I’ve always had. (That said, I’ve since paired my natural instincts with formal training in design elements and principles.) Where I like to think high Camp meets Helvetica  The Queens At the heart of Drag Queen Bingo is Buttery Chard , the dazzling alter ego of my dear friend Ryan. One of the things I’ve always admired about Ryan - long before the wigs and lashes - is his deep commitment to inclusivity. He has this effortless way of going with the flow, letting his community lift him up, which in turn lifts everyone arou...
