This week, multi-disciplinary artist, mother, and one half of Bar Freda’s, Carla Uriarte, shares a personal guide to Sydney—from Japanese stationery to a proper night out.

KINOKUNIYA
I can spend hours here just reading the back of books until finding one that perfectly suits my mood and state. Additionally, my favourite section in the store is the endless loads of Japanese stationery. Specifically, I am addicted to buying Midori notebooks and slim 0.3 ballpoint pens in brown.

GOLDEN AGE CINEMA
It has been a while since I treated myself to a date to the movies. If I could close my eyes and envision a perfect paradise, it would be me seated in the cinema watching a nice, fresh French comedy—or even an old classic—popcorn and Coca-Cola in hand.

BAR FREDA'S / THE ABERCROMBIE
I am waking Sydney up one party at a time. Presenting to you my new project / home away from home: Bar Freda's. Beautiful drinks and food aligned with a little party and always, most importantly, GOOD MUSIC! This little bar is attached to a super club, which you can enter via a secret side door. How can a place so big feel sooo cozy and cool? MAGIC!
