In case we haven’t met trust me, you would remember!
Hi, I’m Peyton, Pey Pey if you’re lucky, a 24-year-old fashion lover who’s been a little dramatic since childhood. Growing up in Winnipeg, I tried to fit in but mostly stood out, using bold outfits to express (and sometimes hide) who I was. I’ve had my fair share of chaotic moments, from sneaky teenage drinks to nights out in Melbourne. Along the way, I’ve learned to stop dimming my light and just be fully myself. Slightly lost, always overdressed, but finally at peace.
Nightlife Winnipeg Vs Melbourne.
Melbourne nightlife starts off relaxed but quickly turns into a full night of bar hopping, dancing, and chasing the next stop. Unlike Winnipeg, the night doesn’t end at 2am it just keeps going, with more options the later it gets. What feels like a few drinks easily turns into hours of music, crowded dance floors, and late-night energy. Before you know it, it’s morning, and you’re heading home as the city is just waking up.
Met Gala 2026: Major Pussy Slay or a Federal Crime Against Fashion?
This year’s Met Gala was either pure artistic genius or a complete fashion disaster. Some celebrities fully embraced the theme with stunning references to famous artwork and archival couture, while others looked like they got dressed during a fire Wine Wednesday circa 2020 iykyk. The highs were fabulous, the lows were offensive, and overall the chaos was exactly why I love fashion.
What the Fuck am I doing with My Life
If you’ve ever stood in the shower with a beer wondering what the actual fuck you’re doing with your life, this one’s for you. This week on Drunk on Couture, I’m talking about turning 24, working nearly a decade in hospitality, moving across the world to Melbourne, and realizing I still don’t fully know what I want. Between career spirals, hangxiety, and a random law school phase, I’ve been trying to figure out what actually makes me happy instead of what just feels safe.
Gucci Core, Genius or Gimmick
I’m diving into Demna’s chaotic debut cruise collection for Gucci in the middle of Times Square and honestly, I still can’t decide if it was genius or complete bullshit. Between the celebrity casting, giant GG billboards, and enough faux fur to survive a Canadian winter, the entire thing felt like the world’s most expensive fever dream. Some looks absolutely slayed, others looked like they lost a fight with a clearance rack at Urban Planet. I break down the best, the worst, and why this “resort” collection had absolutely nothing to do with a vacation. So pour yourself a drink and come spiral through Gucci Core with me.
I Almost Slept on the Concrete for a Pocket Watch, Swatch x AP
Hello dear friends, it’s Pey Pey and welcome back to Drunk on Couture. This week we’re diving into the Swatch x Audemars Piguet collaboration that nearly had me sleeping on a Melbourne sidewalk like a cheap hooker with an Amex. What started as rumors of an affordable Royal Oak quickly turned into rich men having full psychological breakdowns online over colorful pocket watches. Between four-block-long lines, TikTok meltdowns, and finance bros in loafers fighting for their lives, this may be the funniest luxury release I’ve seen. So pour yourself a drink, pop your pussy and let’s unpack this unique collaboration.
6 Months In Melbourne, Lets talk about it.
Six months ago I packed up my life, moved across the world with my best friend, and traded Winnipeg for Melbourne. What followed was a whirlwind of incredible food, new friendships, hot Australian men, fine dining, too much wine, and a few life lessons thrown in for good measure. I fell in love with a city, discovered sides of myself I didn't know existed, and somehow became one of those people who willingly runs 10 kilometres. From Fitzroy nights to unforgettable adventures, this chapter gave me memories I'll be talking about for years. Here's what really happened during my six months down under.
