Sometimes life can feel a little, well, pedestrian.

The monotony of the daily grind – sleep-work-clean-cook (repeat!) can wear down even the most optimistic of souls every now and then. Need to get some swag back in your swagger? Here are five ways to live large like rock royalty.

The X factor

Fancy yourself as the next big thing, but you just haven’t been discovered yet? Soundbox Karaoke in Dickson has soundproofed VIP rooms for hire so you can rock out to Rhi Rhi’s latest, or if ballads are on your setlist, croon (or in my case, screech) to your heart’s content. Look out, I feel a rendition of ‘I will always love you’ coming on. It’s a YES from me!

Celeb style

Who can forget the iconic scenes in The Devil Wears Prada when the ghastly Miranda Priestly flings her couture coat at her long suffering assistant each morning, all while looking impeccably chic? Our very own fashion maven Fiona Keary of Style Liberation can have you runway ready like Miranda for SS2013/14 at the flick of a perfectly manicured finger with her VIP shopping experience…dahlink!

Yo VIP

Nothing reeks VIP like a private suite. In da club. Get your posse together and head to Academy in the city – ‘The Pod’ private suite is available for hire for up to 40 people and includes your own bartender. Twerking optional.

Pimp your ride

That eco-friendly suburban runabout is doing NOTHING for your rockstar style…so hire something that will! Australian Sports Car Rentals Online offers an array of drool-worthy machines for daily hire to pique your inner P-Diddy. Nothing oozes class and money like an Aston Martin, the car of choice for Mr Bond. I’ll be your Vesper any day, Mr Bond!

Shades of cool

If this all seems out of reach for an average day in the Can, then you can feel uber cool in the right pair of sunglasses. Whether your style go-to is a pair of ink-dark Pradas or the timeless classic Ray-Ban Aviators, slip on those shades and shield yourself from the (imaginary) paparazzi as you saunter down City Walk. Just don’t punch anyone with a camera – at this time of year it’s probably a Floriade visitor!
