STM Loves: Houndsome, AGWA Pulse butterflies, Mettle, Propellis dinner, G Flip and Natal Nurture
Houndsome
keeps things simple with natural fabrics, local makers and no fluff (unless it's merino). Their coats and knits are designed for comfort (not costumes) and are actually made in Australia. Dogwear with standards, we're into it!
A fresh arrival to AGWA's Design Store are these beautifully embroidered brooches made by North Metropolitan TAFE fashion students, to celebrate The West Australian Pulse exhibition. Each butterfly was designed by hand before being made utilising state-of-the-art embroidery machines at the college. Proceeds from sales (each brooch retails for $65) go towards the students' end-of-year fashion runway shows. Just another way you can support emerging designers on WA soil. Shop in-store or online at

It's not always the food that makes a meal memorable, rather the experience or the stories shared about the dishes or the wine from the people who passionately created them. It's this sentiment that will make the Propellis dinner at Subiaco's Intuition extra special as each of the five courses and eight wine pairings will come with a story from Propellis' Romain Scarcella, who has immersed himself in the worlds of each wine's makers. The August 7 dinner is $260 per person. More details at

Home and Away is coming to WA: Hit soap to film in the west this October
Home and Away is heading west for the first-time. Australia's number one television drama will film an 'ambitious, high-stakes storyline' in WA this October. Details are still unknown at this stage, with filming preparations a closely guarded secret. But pre-production is underway for the five special episodes, which will see Home and Away visit this side of the country for the first time in its 37-year history. 'In partnership with Tourism Western Australia, this special Home and Away event will see the show trade the familiar sands of Summer Bay for the vast and varied landscapes of WA,' an official release states. Filming is set to take place 'at several locations' across the State, with producers promising Western Australia will be showcased in all its stunning glory, 'from cosmopolitan Perth to its rugged coastline and expansive red outback.' The WA Government claims the episodes will showcase the State to audiences beyond Australis and New Zealand to almost 50 other international markets. The UK has a strong Home and Away fan base, with 250,000 UK-based viewers per episode, presenting a huge opportunity to promote WA as a tourism destination. Home and Away series producer, Lucy Addario, said the cast and crew were 'beyond excited' to be packing their bags and heading to Perth to begin shooting in two months' time. '(Western Australia's) awe-inspiring beauty, diverse landscapes and sheer scale make it the perfect backdrop for this huge storyline,' she said. 'Working with the Tourism Western Australia team has been an absolute joy and we can't wait for audiences to fall in love with WA like we have.' Tourism Minister Reece Whitby said he was thrilled to welcome the iconic show here. 'Home and Away has been a staple of Australian television for close to 40 years, and this special WA storyline presents a great opportunity to showcase the State to millions of viewers across the country and around the world,' he said. 'When our pristine coastline and diverse tourism experiences are broadcast to homes across the country and overseas next year, we encourage viewers to come and see these spectacular locations for themselves.' Home and Away, which has been on air since 1988, famously films its outside locations at Palm Beach in NSW's northern beaches. The special Home and Away event will premiere in 2026 on Seven and 7plus. Home and Away airs Monday-to-Thursday at 7pm. The show's stars, Lynne McGranger and Hailey Pinto, are nominees for the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards, broadcast exclusively on Seven and 7plus from 7.00pm on Sunday August 3. Click here to vote.

Chrishell Stause and G Flip get married again
Chrishell Stause and G Flip have tied the knot again. The 44-year-old actress and the 31-year-old music star - who first wed in Las Vegas in 2023 - have tied the knot once again during a medieval-themed ceremony in Los Angeles. A copy of their wedding invitation, which has been shared on Instagram, read: "Medieval, Renaissance, Regal, and Festive attire encouraged. (sic)" The invite, which appeared on a faux scroll, also said: "By royal decree, we request the honor of your noble presence to witness the wedding ceremony of Lord Flipo and Lady Stause. (sic)" Chrishell wore an off-the-shoulder corseted gown for the ceremony, while G Flip donned a red tunic for the nuptials. Their guests were also seen sporting tunics and knight-like outfits for the wedding ceremony. The loved-up couple renewed their vows shortly after Chrishell opened up about their desire to have children. The former Selling Sunset star revealed in June that she was "back on the IVF hell train". She said on her Instagram Story: "Back on the IVF hell train. I think this may be my last attempt. There are other alternatives, but this route needed to be tried first bc of timing. So if it's meant to be it will be. If not, pivot [heart emoji] (sic)" Chrishell also thanked her followers for the support they've shown her throughout her IVF journey. She said in a separate post: "Live footage of me reading all the beautiful supportive messages on the last slide. THANK YOU [prayer emoji] (sic)" Chrishell split from Jason Oppenheim, her former Selling Sunset co-star, in 2021 because he didn't want to have children. But the reality TV star previously suggested that she was close to realising her long-held ambition of becoming a parent. Chrishell - who began starring on Selling Sunset, the hit Netflix series, back in 2019 - told Us Weekly: "We are feeling really positive about where we're at currently. And I will tell you this - nobody will be happier to report good news than me when it's that time. So, until then, I just really feel like everything happens for a reason."
