It was a Friday in one of Sydney’s most charming locations, the sun was shining and the book worms were out to meet for their latest Literary Lunch at Middle Harbour Yacht Club. Thanks to the work of General Manager, Karen Baldwin and her team, these Literary Lunches take place semi-regularly and always have a fabulous guest author in attendance to chat about their last book.
This event was no exception and boy did the woman of honour today pull a crowd. Author, actor, Australian legend, Judy Nunn was there to discuss her latest novel, ‘Khaki Town’ that is sure to be another best-seller. The novel is based on a widely-unknown but true story of a woman named Val who bought a once-quiet pub in country Queensland during World War II. Seemingly overnight, the town was swamped by American servicemen in their khaki greens and the book follows the changes brought with the towns new inhabitants.
We want to say thank you to Karen for welcoming us to request photos of guests before the event kicked off. We didn’t want to miss living legend Judy Nunn and knew we’d pick up some great style tips along the way. Book lovers didn’t disappoint!
Debbie and Steve “I’m going for a relaxed look today so suit this beautiful Friday afternoon by the water so I chose to wear sneakers with my dress” – Debbie
Maria “My style is classic so it’s very interchangeable. This top is from ‘Made in Itay’ and my necklace is my own design called 10 Way Necklace. I actually went to Shark Tank with this design!”
The 10 Way Necklace thanks to strategically spaced beads that are actually magnets you can shorten, length, double up your necklace, wear it as a bracelet – this list goes on! Fabulous travel item.
All of the different materials available in the 10 Way Necklace range
Louise and Julie. “I’m just happy the warmer weather means I can get out of jeans” – Louise.

Norma, Bronwyn, Lynne and Evelyn. “We are T.L.C – The Lunch Club! We are women from different backgrounds who didn’t know each other previously and we meet once a month and we’ve been doing so for nine years. It began for self-employed women or retirees to get out of the house and sometimes we have 50 people, sometimes we have 4” Bronwyn – T.L.C conveynor
