SPRING 2025 Mid-Western Living | 7 VINTAGE WHEELS. UNFORGETTABLE ARRIVALS. Add a touch of retro flair to your next celebration with Rockin Retro Rides, a husband-and-wife team delivering head-turning arrivals across the Central West. Whether it’s a winery tour, wedding or special event, their fleet of classic American cars brings old-school charm to every occasion. On our cover is ‘Marilyn’ - a 1957 Chevrolet Sedan whose white body and red-lipstick interior channel the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age. She’s one of three show-stopping vehicles, alongside ‘Raquel’, a turquoise 1940 Chevy Hot Rod with bold Betty Boop detailing, and ‘Audrey’, a Horizon Blue Lincoln Premier Convertible that exudes bridal-day elegance. Each car is a left-hand drive and fully restored with attention to comfort and style, offering a ride that’s not just memorable but completely unique. Owners Colin and his wife Narelle are passionate about giving guests a nostalgic, joyful experience complete with tunes of yesteryear and first-class service. Let them take you on a journey through time, where every ride is a celebration and every destination is made that little bit more memorable. Classic cars, curated moments, and country hospitality - what more could you want? ____ rockinretrorides.com.au @rockinretrorides STYLE WITH HEART Every great outfit tells a story - and so does KRYSTIES. From humble beginnings to a stunning flagship store in the heart of Mudgee, KRYSTIES Boutique is the result of one woman’s leap of faith and love of Australian fashion. Founded by local dreamer-turned-businesswoman Krystie, the boutique began with a desire to create something more than just a shop. “I wanted to build a space where women could shop with confidence and leave feeling their best,” she shares. What makes the boutique truly special is the experience. Warm, personal styling, a curated selection of quality Australian labels, and a welcoming space that celebrates individuality. Whether you’re dressing for a special occasion or refreshing your wardrobe, the KRYSTIES team makes it feel effortless and fun. As the new season arrives, so do fresh looks - and a few surprises. Alongside spring collections for women, KRYSTIES now also stocks men’s Country Road, adding timeless staples for men to the mix. Today, KRYSTIES is more than a fashion destination - it’s a place where relationships are built and style comes to life. “We’ve come so far,” Krystie says, “and I’m so grateful to the Mudgee community for being part of that journey.” ____ 59 Market St, Mudgee krysties.com.au @krystiesboutique
