Kmart shoppers go wild over $59 'exclusive' item you can't find anywhere in stores: 'Such a vibe'

Daily Mail​19 hours ago

Kmart fans are in a frenzy over a new $59 homeware item that's only available online - and it's already being hailed as a must-have for 2025's biggest interior trend: Dollhouse Chic.
The Green Boucle Ottoman, listed as an online exclusive, has quickly become one of the most talked-about items on social media, with shoppers scrambling to snap it up before it sells out.
The minimalist piece features a rich sage green hue and a plush, boucle fabric - making it the perfect blend of comfort and style.
With its compact design and curved silhouette, it effortlessly taps into the current obsession with soft, feminine interiors.
One thrilled Kmart customer told FEMAIL she couldn't believe the quality for the price.
'It looks like something you'd find in a boutique furniture store - not from Kmart and definitely not for $59,' she said.
'I need to get my hands on it. I will style mine next to a floor-length mirror with a pastel cushion on top - I'm sure it will be the most complimented piece in my home.'
Those who got their hands on the statement piece couldn't get enough of it, with one saying: 'How cute is this Kmart find? The boucle ottoman is my fave.'
'Ottoman is a vibe,' another shared.
'Stunning,' one added.
Interior expert Lucy Sutherland previously told FEMAIL that Dollhouse Chic is the antidote to cold minimalism.
'This style embraces soft femininity, delicate details and vintage-inspired charm,' she said.
'Think pastel hues, curved shapes, and romantic textures. It's all about creating a dreamy, inviting space.'
The ottoman is designed for daily use and endless versatility.
It can be styled as a footrest in a reading nook, extra seating in a living area, or even as a vanity stool in a bedroom.
For those wanting to go full Dollhouse Chic, the piece pairs beautifully with candles, ceramic trinket dishes, dried florals, and muted-toned cushions.
Think soft pinks, lavenders, powder blues, and the signature sage green that defines the look - all tied together with plush textures like velvet, fluted glass, and rattan.
With shoppers already reporting low stock and warning others to 'run, don't walk,' the ottoman is expected to disappear quickly - and with its high-end aesthetic and budget-friendly price tag, it's easy to see why.

Kylie Minogue is forced to CANCEL four concerts due to illness after completing the UK leg of her Tension Tour

has been forced to cancel four upcoming concerts during her Tension Tour due to illness. The singer, 56, kicked off her highly anticipated tour in Perth, Australia, in February, making it her first tour since her 2019 Golden Tour and her biggest since 2011. But after completing the UK leg of her tour this week, she has had to cancel shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn, after being diagnosed with laryngitis. Kylie wrote on Instagram: 'Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. I made it over the finish line (yay) but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis) 'I've tried my best to recover fast to start our next run on Monday but I'm afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform the best for you.'

The singer, 56, kicked off her highly anticipated tour in Perth, Australia, in February, making her first tour since her 2019 Golden Tour and her biggest since 2011 Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx (voice box), often leading to a hoarse voice or loss of voice. It's usually caused by a viral infection, vocal strain, or irritation of the vocal cords. She added: 'I'm so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled. 'Please keep hold of your tickets, we're doing our very best to reschedule the dates and will update you very soon on that. 'Thank you for understanding - you know I love you all. And I LOVE THIS SHOW! And I'll miss you next week, and I can't wait to see you all. Love Kylie xx' Kylie's Tension Tour is split into five acts with the star kicking things off with her 2024 single Lights Camera Action before going into other hits like In Your Eyes, Get Outta My Way and Spinning Around. Later in the show, Kylie performed some of her earlier hits including Better The Devil You Know and The Locomotion. The final act features some of her most-loved hits including Padam Padam, Can't Get You Outta My Head and All The Lovers before an encore featuring Tension and Love At First Sight. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK, but has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam. However, her record label revealed in 2023 the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market. Padam Padam and follow-up album Tension helped turn her fortunes around in America and landed her a Grammy, a second number one on the US Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and a Las Vegas residency. Speaking about her lack of success in the US Kylie said in 2022 she had 'resigned myself to the fact that America wouldn't be like the rest of the world for me. 'I'm anonymous there — which, I must confess, I kind of like.' As well as telling The Express in 2009: 'It doesn't frustrate me [not cracking America]... frustrating being asked about it, the assumption it's something really missing in my career and life.' 'My time is spent more throughout Europe... the U.S.A. has remained at arm's length.' While discussing her plans to crack America Jamie Nelson, SVP of U.K. Recordings at Minogue's label BMG, confirmed to Variety in 2023 the label were 'confident' Padam Padam would do well. 'It's now flipping into an area that's unprecedented,' he said, crediting TikTok and social media for the song's viral success.

Stephen Page: ‘Am I old? Am I not old? Can I still create?'

Stephen Page: ‘Am I old? Am I not old? Can I still create?'

Stephen Page stands wrapped in scarf and beanie against the morning winter chill at Sydney's Marrinawi (big canoe) cove, at the northern end of Barangaroo reserve. 'This mouth of water, one of the biggest in the world, it's an operatic landscape and it was so inspirational,' he says. As he looks past the sculpted sandstone across the harbour, the acclaimed choreographer recollects the Eora nation stories that prompted some of his best-known dance works during his 31 years as artistic director of the Sydney-based Bangarra Dance Theatre. There was, for instance, Patyegarang, in 2014, about the Cammeraygal teenager who taught the English astronomer William Dawes her language; and Bennelong, in 2017, about the Wangal man who developed a close bond with the New South Wales governor Arthur Phillip but died addicted to alcohol. Set to turn 60 this December, Page is relaxed these days, and makes an excellent walking companion as we stroll past the Sydney red gums and coastal banksias. Having offered a hearty hug upon our meeting, he leans in along this waterside walk named Wulugul (kingfish), laughing often. By contrast, in his final years before departing Bangarra in 2022, he drove himself hard. Leaving Bangarra was 'bittersweet', he recalls, 'because I was dealing with the grieving of stepping down from that'. But while he was saying goodbye to the company he had devoted most of his adult life to, he was also pushing through grief after the sudden death in 2016 of his older brother David Page, Bangarra's longtime music director and composer. Three Page brothers had each been a key part of the company: Stephen, David and Russell, a charismatic dancer who died by suicide in 2002, aged 34. By the time Stephen stepped away, he was the last of the brothers left at Bangarra, even as he built a clan of dancers around him. It magnified his sense of loss. 'David and Russell would always be quite vivid images and visions in my memory. David's music is always in our mind.' Page talks readily about David, with an awe. It all comes back to when they were kids, the solidarity of growing up with little money in a family of 12 children who loved pop culture and musicals, putting on concerts in their back yard in the working-class Brisbane suburb of Mount Gravatt. The enigmatic David, who had a brief career as the child pop star Little Davey Page, would turn the rotary clothesline into a merry-go-round, and film them all with a Super8 camera. The children would dress up as the Jackson Five and perform to neighbours on their laundry roof. It was their playground, and their training ground. Page recalls that the family bond was deeper and stronger than any material absence: 'When there was struggling, when there was no food, when they couldn't pay bills, it was about telling stories and humour and performance. David and I and Russell, we digested that creative instinct to carry it through into our professional lives.' Page laughs at the memory of some of the play the three brothers had in rehearsing together over the years. They had found a creative haven together, he says. 'We would talk about the spirit of story constantly, and it was always about the emotional [aspects] and the psychology for us.' It took Page more than a year after leaving Bangarra to feel like his old self. 'I had time to think. I had to see my good old therapist, because I was like, 'What's going on?' They're like, 'Stephen, you're grieving, you're leaving something after 31 years'.' Page is far from retired, 'creating better than I ever have', he reflects, as we pass hard-hatted workers drilling at the Cutaway, the large below-ground sandstone venue being turned into a gallery and events hall (but not an Indigenous cultural centre as earlier mooted). Page says David's 'spirit and energy has inspired' his newest works. He feels 'cleansed' through these latest stories. His first major post-Bangarra work is Baleen Moondjan, a story of grief, love and kinship, which opened the 2024 Adelaide festival on Glenelg beach, and will now be adapted for performance on a barge for the Brisbane festival this September. Page says his late mother, Doreen, would have loved this story being staged close to where she raised her family. The song and dance cycle will feature giant replica whale bones, a totem figure for Doreen's Nunukul/Ngugi saltwater maternal line from Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island). His mother had been forbidden by her English/Irish father from acknowledging her Aboriginality: he told her instead to say she was Indian. The whale story is based on cultural knowledge passed on by Doreen's older sister, Auntie Joyce, after their own mother died. 'I wanted to use the metaphor of the whale as a sense of empowerment and strength that sits within my mother's matriarchal kinship system,' Page says. 'It's about continuing the spirit of stories. I thought, 'Mum, I'm going to give you a gift, and David, your spirit is going to help me create Baleen Moondjan'.' It follows Page's final work for Bangarra, Wudjang: Not the Past, in 2022, an ode to his late father, Roy, a Munaldjali bushman from the Yugambeh nation, who during his childhood was forbidden from speaking his language. Page's parents nonetheless both became great storytellers who instilled a respect for Country in their large brood. Roy died in 2010 and Doreen in 2018. Both productions honouring their parents essentially began with David's legacy: a three-minute recording uncovered in the late composer's office based on a song Roy had given him in his own Yugambeh language, which he spoke on his deathbed, as well as notations written in Jandai, the traditional language of their mother. Page in the past has spoken of the challenge of living in two worlds, of being denied a traditional language because he has come from 'a forbidden generation, an assimilated generation'. Page once recalled Roy using the term 'whispering language' because Stephen's grandmother could only whisper their language to Roy at night. Loss is profound throughout the family, thus dance and what Page calls his 'blackfella operas' became a medicine, a means of reconnection. 'Mum's last years, she didn't have quality of life, she didn't speak,' Page recalls. 'She was at Georgina Hostel, a First Nations old age home. She had dementia, Alzheimer's. 'The night before David passed, late at night, she was wailing, making these noises, and the nurses told my sister the next day. They were like, 'We haven't heard her talk or make a sound for 18 months'. I think she knew [David was passing away], and that always stayed with me.' Page's renewal and cleansing has been aided by his son, actor and writer Hunter Page-Lochard, 32, who founded the production company Djali House, for which father and son are billed as co-directors, although Page insists Hunter is his 'boss'. One gets the impression he enjoys working with his son so much because it reminds him of the creative energy of working with David and Russell: wherever the urban mob is, that's his creative home. The pair have four development projects on their slate, including an imminent adaptation of David's one-man autobiographical play, Page 8, into a narrative feature film with the working title of Songman. 'It's been really beautiful to work with Hunter, and also to see the first [full-length feature] story that we birth through Djali House is our story, through the lens of David's life,' says Page. The generations continue to unfold. Page, who also has a stepdaughter, Tanika, glows when asked about Page-Lochard's two daughters, Mila, 6, and Evara, 3. 'It just makes this crazy world and life worth living for,' he says of becoming a grandfather. 'The combination of that, going through and reflecting the Bangarra chapter of my life, and then finding a sacred stability, of feeling recharged and reawakened for the next chapter. 'You go, am I old? Am I not old? Can I still create? But the reason Hunter started Djali House is we have imagination, we have creativity, we have vision. We love stories. Walking with Page, there's a sense he is seizing the moment, surveying the Country and water before us for the next story, plugging into youthful energy. But that was how it always was with the big Page mob. 'I've always started with a blank canvas for my work. David would jump on, and with our creative clan we'd just paint the story and bring it to life.' Baleen Moondjan is at Queen's Wharf, Brisbane festival, September 18-21
