Fashion mogul threatens to sell her dog after it destroys $500 luxury item
Fashion mogul Effie Kats has jokingly threatened to sell her dog after the pooch destroyed one of her handbags.
The 34-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to share a video of the damage, revealing a large hole chewed into her $495 clutch from The Concept.
Clearly unimpressed, Kats joked in the caption: 'Anyone after a one-year-old Samoyed?'
Effie also shared a photo of her dog looking at the camera, along with the caption: 'The look of guilt'.

In November 2023, she walked down the aisle with her finance broker fiancé James Cerolini in Melbourne.
The pair married in a lavish ceremony at St Patrick's Cathedral and held her opulent reception at State Library Victoria.
She stunned in an elaborate, semi-sheer lace gown by Zuhair Murad, which she acquired after making trips to Paris for fittings.
Effie later changed into a second dress for her reception, this time from local designer Alin Le'kal.
It was no small affair, with 260 in attendance on the star-studded guest list, including Nadia, Bec , Khanh Ong, Jessie Murphy and Lana Wilkinson.
Women were asked to wear black or gold to what was described as an elegant affair.
The founder of the Effie Kats and Bayse brands said the wedding,'exceeded every expectation I had'.
She told the Herald Sun: 'Every part of it just blew my mind. It was great. I had a wedding planner, Valentina, I could not have done it without her.
'There were small hiccups along the way, but it was the perfect day.'
The society couple became engaged in 2021 during lockdown, giving Effie lots of time to plan her big day.
'I've attended so many events and we want to create something spectacular for our guests,' she told Confidential.
'It's on Stakes Day and Remembrance Day so it'll add to an already insane schedule.'
Effie had at first decided to organise the event herself without the help of a wedding planner, but later changed her mind.
Around the time of their engagement, Effie and James purchased a home in Melbourne's Malvern.
The 'rundown' three bedroom property, which cost $1.65 million, is a fixer-upper project for the pair.
'We wanted a house in the right location with some character, that needed a lot of love' Effie told news.com.au.
Effie is a beloved Australian designer whose clothing has been seen on A-list clients like Dannii Minogue, Kelly Rowland, Carrie Bickmore and DJ Havana Brown.

Love Island All Star flogs her wardrobe on Vinted – with items priced from a tenner
A LOVE Island pocket rocket has got fans in a fashion frenzy after shifting her old wardrobe on Vinted. The bombshell has put some of her pre-worn clothes on the selling site - with items going for a very affordable price. 9 9 9 9 Reality star and influencer Kady McDermott has thrilled followers by putting her clobber up for grabs for as little as a tenner on the second hand platform. She told followers on social media: "Shop my Vinted," along with an array of pictures of dresses, trousers, tops, sportswear, heels, trainers, shoes, occasionwear and ski gear. The former Towie star's for sale collection includes pink MyProtein size 6 leggings for £10 and a size 8 Distressed Denim Mini Dress from H:ours for £55. Amongst other penny-pinching steals, there's a size 8 Metallic Drape Bandeau Mini Dress for £190 from Retrofête and a size 8 Pretty Little Thing Distressed Faux Leather Biker Racer Jacket for £12. There's an XS Six Stories White Trouser Suit going for £60 and a Lavish Alice Rose Pink Dress, which has never been worn and has its original tags, size 6 for £50. The star is giving half the profit from threads sold towards a charity close to her heart, Brain Tumour Research. Kady wrote on the charity website: "Nan was the rock of our family… by the time they confirmed it was a brain tumour, there was nothing anyone could do…" She continued: "She was the best nan ever. My dad wasn't around when I was growing up so it was like I had two mums. "Nan lived close by and used to pick me up from school and make cakes for me and my brother Keenan and sister Kirsty. I remember her feeding us until we could hardly move! She was the perfect cook. "Growing up, I was really close to her and would probably tell Nan more about what was going on in my life than Mum. She was always on my side." Kady McDermott SPLITS from millionaire boyfriend & makes brutal 'you can't change bad morals' swipe She admitted: "Apart from a bit of a family history of migraines, which I suffer from too, everyone is pretty fit and healthy in my family. To be honest, I never thought serious illness could happen to us." Kady's official account splits 50% of the profit donated to The Brain Tumour Research Charity - and is run by her management team. It reads: "No refunds. Always posted within time frame. Happy shopping." This comes after Kady has confirmed she is back together with her millionaire ex boyfriend. The brunette beauty is back together with her on/off boyfriend millionaire Henry Simmons. Kady, 29, previously told fans she had caught Henry Simmons, 25, cheating with 'two women she found leaving his house'. The reality star, who first hinted in December that they were back together, has been spotted with Henry enjoying a luxury holiday in the Maldives. Kady - who originally appeared in the second series of Love Island - made waves in the recent All Stars by having an almighty falling out with fellow contestant Mitch Taylor. The Love Island's season 10 contestants went head to head with Mitch accusing Kady of having a secret boyfriend on the outside. 9 9 9 9 9

Robin Thicke and April Love Geary flash wedding bands for FIRST time... as his includes a VERY unusual surprise
Robin Thicke and his new wife April Love Geary, 30, have flashed their sparkling gold wedding bands for the first time. The 30-year-old brunette beauty was with her singer husband at the BET Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening. Her band was yellow gold and shone nicely next to her huge diamond engagement ring from Established Jewelry. Robin also debuted his band as there was a big surprise on it: the yellow gold ring had diamonds on the front. Most men do not get diamonds included in their wedding bands as they prefer a plainer look. They both wore black as they looked very in love while arm in arm on the red carpet just two weeks after saying 'I do' during a lavish ceremony held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico just two weeks ago. The bride — who has welcomed three children with Thicke — walked down the aisle in a stunning white lace gown and a long ruffled veil. In a loving gesture to his late father Alan Thicke, Robin and April kept a seat in the front row empty. Alan died back in 2016 at the age of 69. Geary's video revealed that Alan's chair had 'In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke' posted on the back of it. Next, Geary posted a short clip of her father walking her down the aisle as their guests looked on in awe at the beautiful bride. For Robin's strut to the altar, he suited up in a black tuxedo and held hands with the couple's two-year-old son Luca Patrick, who served as ring bearer. Luca, also dressed in a black tux, carried a briefcase that read: 'Ring Security' April and Robin are also parents to daughters Lola Alain, four, and Mia Love, six, but the two girls did not appear in any of the videos shared to Instagram. TMZ reported that the guest list was expected to be star-studded, with Leonardo DiCaprio said to have RSVP'd, along with Usher and Community star Ken Jeong. However, it was unclear from the videos Geary posted who actually attended the nuptials. All of the bridesmaids and flower girls were all wearing Azazie dresses. The celebrations reportedly kicked off with a welcome dinner on Thursday and were expected to continue through the weekend, with guests arriving as early as Wednesday. April took to her Instagram Stories to reveal just how nervous she felt ahead of her wedding weekend. 'I get married this weekend, and I leave tomorrow. And my nerves are so bad, like I honestly, all day, have felt like I'm going to vomit,' she admitted. 'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet. And I leave tomorrow and I'm an idiot. 'But oh my god, I'm so excited! But I'm literally, like, nauseous. Like, I feel like I'm actually going to throw up. Oh my god! I'm going to forget something important.' The next day, Geary shared excited airport snaps alongside her maid of honor and bridesmaids. 'Let's get y'all married! Cabo here we come!' they captioned the photos. Thicke proposed to Geary twice—first in December 2018, and again just last week outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France. 'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new [Established Jewelry] ring,' April gushed on Instagram. 'I'm so obsessed with [the ring], thank you! This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke.' In April, Geary offered a peek into her bridesmaid dress shopping experience by posting a carousel of photos showing her trying on various gowns. 'Thank you so much @azaziebridal for the best day! My bridesmaids are so happy with their dresses! And thank you for letting me try on some dresses for fun,' she wrote. She added 'We honestly had so much fun and you guys went above and beyond. Thanks for taking care of all of us.' Thicke and Geary began dating in 2014, just months after Thicke's split from his wife of 10 years, actress Paula Patton. He and Patton, who finalized their divorce in 2015, also share 14-year-old son Julian Fuego. Back in 2016, Thicke and Geary sparked secret wedding rumors after getting matching tattoos on their ring fingers to mark their second anniversary. But as the sweet videos now confirm, they waited until now to make it official. Thicke's first proposal took place during a family dinner on Christmas Eve, and Geary wrote on Instagram at the time: 'YES YES 1000x YES.' The Blurred Lines star previously revealed the couple were busy planning their wedding and had hoped to tie the knot in 2024. He told PEOPLE: 'Wedding plans are a priority, we're looking at 2024 and we're very excited ... 'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together. She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.' 'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together,' he said. Thicke then said, 'She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.' He and the 49-year-old SAG Award nominee appear to amicably co-parent their 15-year-old son Julian Fuego. But the ex-couple didn't finalize their custody arrangement until 2017 due to her making allegations against him of 'child abuse, domestic violence, infidelity, and drug/alcohol addiction.'

Wrong embryo implanted in second such IVF clinic mix-up
Monash IVF, a top Australian IVF provider, mistakenly implanted a patient with her own embryo instead of her partner's at a Melbourne clinic on June 5. This is the second such mix-up for Monash IVF, following an April disclosure of a similar incident in Brisbane in 2023, raising concerns about industry oversight. The company stated it is supporting the couple involved and has extended an existing independent investigation and is installing extra verification safeguards. Shares of Monash IVF have dropped 25 per cent following the incident, and analysts predict potential reputational damage and market share losses. Victorian health minister Mary-Anne Thomas has deemed the incident "completely unacceptable" and confirmed that the Victorian Department of Health is investigating the company.
