I love the effortless elegance of Alistair Trung's trans-seasonal, trans-occasional, trans-age, trans-size and trans-gender pieces. And his stores are always artistically presented and inspiring to be in, with bits of collected wood, bones, feathers and other found natural beauties

My personal favourite Australian artist Ken Done has his gallery in the middle of The Rocks, near Circular Quay. Its constantly updated with his new and old works and well worth a visit!

With heaps of curves, greenery and natural light, this library is super conducive to working and learning — plus there's a secret slippery slide for kids that goes through the middle of the building, just for fun

Japanese bookshop in the centre of of town. Amazing selection of art books, including a nice selection of independent publications. Lots of fun Japanese magazines, book and stationary. Excellent coffee shop inside too :)

Super nice cafe that runs the whole way through a block in Surry Hills. Awesome food and super fun staff + they have really good coffee. It's big so you always get a place and it's a super chilled atmosphere.
