Coup Fatale Brooch by Glance Diagonal, $38 from Dream A Highway, 259 High Street, Northcote.
Amid a symphony of sniffles the other day a friend declared, quite proudly, that neither she nor her boyfriend get colds. Ever. Her secret? Garlic. Lots of it, every day. Sure, it’s antibacterial. It’ll lower your cholesterol. Or reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, or something. It will even protect you from Vampires. But who will protect you from garlic breath? This seriously undesirable side effect of the stinking rose is enough to make me a shrinking violet. Go easy on the garlic and dazzle vampires everywhere this winter with this brooch instead. If you can’t beat em, join em. Right?
