Yeah ok so I know it’s only 5 but that’s because the quality of online stores is either really good, really poor or they don’t ship to Australia. Here are the best ones I’ve found. Australia Shopping online from stores based in Aust. means you get your stuff quicker for cheaper. On the downside, overseas [...]

After giving a rant about where not to shop, I thought I’d afford readers a list of where I think you SHOULD shop. So here it is – warning however – they aren’t wallet friendly, though I’ve tried to skip the more expensive retailers. Also it’s not ‘top 10′ cause I thought the length of [...]

Natalie Wood is one of the main designers for Insight, an Australian cult surf brand – cool brand, hard to find good items of though as most (moronic) surf stores don’t carry the good items that Insight bring out. However as artists often do, she found that she wanted to go down paths of expression [...]

I hate ‘fashion’ outlets that flood the market with the same cheap ‘stock’ crap. I’m talking cotton-on, rubi shoes, supre etc. I can’t dispute that from time to time you can find really nice things, and that sometimes a girl just needs a simple singlet or skirt. However when places like these become the go-to [...]

I must admit I was perving on the outfits here looking for possible ideas – funny stuff, learn not to take yourself too seriously. Look At this Fucking Hipster

Wasteland is a store located upstairs on King street that houses a rich variety of art and culture from Australia and around the world. It’s a ‘concept’ store, similar to Colette in Paris, featuring sculpture work by George Kustorkov originally made in the 1970′s for ‘Cardin Salon International’, a full length mural wall by Sydney [...]

First post for the new year – and what a find! I was looking for presents for a loved one and as I was walking down Hay street away from King street and toward the malls, I chanced upon this lovely store. It’s definitely tucked away and a little hard to find, but packed full [...]

Minkpink clothing is hot. Minkpink is a fresh clothing label right here from Aust, and they’ve seen an unprecedented amount of growth since the brand started out in 2005. It’s no wonder, their pieces are just fabulous. As stated on their website, they take influence and ideas from ‘high-end designers, current trends, street styling and [...]

I know it’s probably unfair how I keep talking about pigeonhole to the exclusion of other stores. However, Pigeonhole is celebrating its first birthday, with drinks in-store on friday, oct. 10th from 5pm to 9pm. I also do realise that a lot of our readers are on the pigeonhole mailing list and probably already know [...]

Hi everyone This is my very first post. Woo! There is so much to talk about so picking what to write about first was a dilemma! One night, when I was on my computer looking for something unnecessary to buy on ebay and eating chocolate bullets, I came across this brand of vegan and environmentally [...]

Go go go !! Johann’s posted the event on facebook so 400+ people know about it already. Better hurry! It runs for two weeks and its purpose is to clean out the old stock to make room for the new spring stock. “The little birdies are announcing the end of winter, so it’s time to [...]

Well well, just when you thought that you couldn’t be unique anymore cause your friends had discovered all the secret places you usually shop, Keith and Lottie go ahead and start something revolutionary. Whitegoods provides a ‘blank canvas’ so to speak, for artists and designers, but also for us common people. “Whitegoods will carry a [...]

As the demand for morally and environmentally superior alternatives to the norm has increased, so has supply. With “green is the new black” as their driving motto, plenty of companies have gone to town, fashion industry included. Don’t expect an inferior product if you let your ethics do your spending, though. It’s possible to get [...]

Frankie is an almost-A4 sized glossy Australian magazine printed with aesthetically pleasing, brightly coloured inks. The perfect accessory to keep in your bag with textbooks for the student needing some alternative cred, the cover usually features a sweet, well-dressed girl with an outfit that the struggling indie girl (or cross-dressing boy) can emulate. Featuring reviews, [...]

Why? Because it’s cheaper and there’s a much bigger range. I’m not talking about buying from Amazon or online from large retail stores, I’m talking about going straight to the fledgling designers and buying direct. There are massive online communities devoted to providing virtual floorspace to anyone who has something to sell. While this does [...]

That’s right, you’d never find this beauty if you weren’t looking for it. Tucked away in an inconspicuous arcade on Barrack street between the Murray and Hay Street malls, it isn’t obvious from the sidewalk. When I walked in I pretty much squealed with delight – oh my what a store! I want to buy [...]

Atlas Divine has recently gone through a makeover – the owners being inspired by a trip to Bangkok have redecorated. So not only do they stock amazing and unique jewelery, clothing and accessories from australian designers, the store also looks fantastic. Located in Leederville. Check it out! Atlas Divine 121 Oxford Street, Leederville 6007 P: [...]

Oh yeah, another awesome store from the William street collective. Upon walking in, my first impression was ‘hey, there aren’t much clothes’, however I soon fell head over heels in love with this charming shop – there are so many wonderful, and utterly delightful little things littered about the store. It’s steeped in local culture, [...]

All the small independent stores on William Street have banded together to form the William Street Collective – stores including Fi & Co, Harry Highpants (whom we visited in an earlier entry), Lala Orange, Mayday, Red Stripe and Stokey Dokes to name a few. They’re also releasing a quarterly called The Loop – find the [...]
