FOOD
chocolate suze chocolatesuze.com Chocolate Suze is a truly eclectic food blogger. She believes that having fresh ingredients and good company means you can enjoy food anywhere. Chocolate Suze spent the day in an Accent, visiting the ultimate gastronomic indulgences. Sydney is swarming with some of the freshest and most delicious food-filled locations in the nation, and Chocolate Suze knows where the best of the best can be found. Suze visited Bill’s on Queen Street Woolahra for the best pancakes and corn fritters in the city. Then on to Churchill for sublime cuts for those of the carnivorous persuasion, and finally Claudio’s at the Sydney Fish Market for the freshest seafood imaginable.

INTERIOR DESIGN
table tonic tabletonic.blogspot.com Table Tonic is a blog dedicated to exploring many facets of design. Written by an ex-creative director of Cleo and Dolly Magazine, Louise has created a beautiful and at times candid destination for all things stylish. Steph Powell, Style Editor of Home Beautiful is a guest writer covering this one-off experience. Table Tonic chased design through the Sydney streets (and back alleys) on her design day of inspiration with the new Accent. A perfect matching of function and form, Steph Powell discovered furniture and lighting made of everything from leather to cork, across the cityscape.

ARCHITECTURE
butter paper butterpaper.com Butter Paper attempts to provide a depository of architectural sites. Peter Johns’ blog provides readers with an ever-changing format of design and viewpoints. With the new Accent, Peter Johns of Butter Paper took a day to step back and enjoy the aesthetics. The architect’s list of must-see buildings in Melbourne could have gone on for days. Instead, he provided a succinct tour of architectural design inspiration. Follow Peter’s lead and travel to the Shrine of Remembrance in the Botanic Gardens, RMIT’s ‘Brain’ Building, and the Vault sculpture at ACCA.”

Sydney is never short of a market or gallery according to Angela from Leeloo. With the help of the new Accent, she proved that Rozelle Markets are a great spot for finding an eclectic mix of beautifully crafted sculptures, and vintage clothing.
