Christmas at The Outpost! 15-12-10

Hi Everyone!

I'm a happy woman.
I got to see Sophia Coppola's new film Somewhere
at a special preview screening at Dendy Portside 
last night and I LOVED it!
I can see why it was awarded the top prize of the Golden Lion
at the Venice Film Festival.
I can't wait to see it again actually.
If you haven't had the pleasure, the film officially releases
on Boxing Day.


The British Fashion Council just announced the winners of
the New Generation Sponsorship for London Fashion Week
next February.
Taking the runway, will be  David Koma, Holly Fulton, Louise Gray,
Mary Katrantzou and Michael van der Ham.

Can you believe that it is 5 YEARS since we opened The Outpost!
Tucked around the corner on the empty little side street with it's beautiful
brick walls, antler chandelier and little loft, The Outpost paved
the way for conceptual laneway shopping in Brisbane.

Now busy Winn Street is a mecca for locals and visitors from around
the world with the addition of the fabulous Flamingo Cafe,
the specialty stationary store LIttle Jane Street and most recently,
the massive new Tym Guitars.

Thanks for loving The Outpost and for supporting independent retailers.
