Vein Store
In 2002 I purchased my first pair of Dunlop Volleys. Wanting to stand out from the crowd, I took them home, lay them on some newspaper and destroyed them with a permanent pen and pink paint.
Once I realised that nothing could disguise the origin of the shoes and that I was rocking the same look as about 20 million other people, I worked out why it's so hard to put the words ‘original' and ‘footwear' together.
The Thousands Shop
For a number of years now, we've been telling you what we like via the internet. We tell, you read, and then you spend your life savings on postage trying to get yourself a picnic rug with sleeves and the lates tissue of Apartamento and a pair of wooden bike handlebars, all at the same time. But not for much longer.
Back Up Launch
You might remember six months ago - yes, I know, sometimes it's hard to remember how many candles you blew out last birthday - BUT, this you would have remembered. Leg Up - the artist designed range of high-waisted tights. You remember! Of course you do. You still have fond memories of the warm stretchy comfort they provided you through the winter and all the compliments you got on how original they were.
Cookbook
A million miles away from the over done gloss of Jamie, Nigella and co., Cookbook is that rare breed: the kind of recipe book you won't feel compelled to hide behind the rice cooker when guests come over.
Divided into three courses with accompanying colour code, typeface and linocut artwork by Ned Culic, Jon Campbell and Tin & Ed, Cookbook showcases twenty-four favourite home-style recipes from local food luminaries such as Neil Perry of Rockpool.
The ffiXXed and Condiment Multi-Sleeve (Picnic) Rug
Those blissful summer Sundays in the park have edged their way back into our lives, as days lengthen and shirt sleeves can be worn above the elbow without the prickle of goosebumps. We go wherever there is a spot of sun and a mossy patch of green, and we lie there insolently until the very last sliver of light drains away into darkness.
Isson State of Mind Collection
Isson designer Catherine Federici is of the opinion that shoes, jewellery, perfume and sunglasses are all in the same boat. I imagine this boat to be a cruise liner that's setting sail for New York c.1930, only those Lonely Island guys are the entertainers, the food is contemporary Scandinavian, and there are no orange fake tans and greasy dudes.
Logan Road Precinct, Woolloongabba
Finally, the road works are gone and the glamour's back at the Gabba! Okay, so maybe not 'back' (it is a suburb renowned for football fans and traffic jams after all), but it's definitely arrived. A revamped Logan Road will charm you instantly with its romantic new streetscape featuring illuminated umbrella lights and plenty of old world swoon.
