New Season! Milk From A Thistle + Bellroy Wallets & introducing Fieldnotes


Hi Everyone!

When I was in Grade Four, my form teacher had long hair and a goatie,
played a lot of Neil Diamond on accoustic guitar and gave us the book
Jonathan Livingston Seagull to read.

That was actually the most enjoyable year in my history of schooling and I
think that it was quite formative for myself as a person today.
Sure, I am still swayed by long haired musicians and don't mind
a bit of Neil Diamond but that year was all about music and books,
creative writing and positive thinking.

This is what reminded me...

Danielle Atkinson
is amazing!
I often go to see collections that are racks of clothes and walk away
thinking that maybe (if pressed) I could select a couple of styles.

Danielle puts together a minimal collection of 10 simple styles
and just look at how fantastic it is.
I wanted to order everything.

A clever combination of her exclusive print designs in silks and cottons,
done in quite a subtle colour palette, Danielle has achieved a modernity
without looking try hard.


Aviary Print


Cloud Cover Print



The printed pieces are beautiful alone or mis-matched and I love that splash of
stunning Vermillion and matching lipstick.
So great for summer.

We have also received -
the Brooklyn Silk Pants in Black

Coming soon
is the Hamptons Cotton Blazer in Seagull print
and Grey/Cream Cloud Cover print.
Milk From A Thistle is available exclusively in Queensland at The Outpost!

 in hopes of offering, “An honest memo book, worth fillin’ up with GOOD INFORMATION.”

Everyone has been loving the new Karen Walker "North" collection!
These wonderful photos were taking back stage by Sonny Vandevelde who is
particularly known for capturing these kind of spontaneous and energetic images.

See more of Sonny's work here -

I have been watching lots of amazing youtubes of Northern Soul music
and particularly some footage of crazy dancing at the
Wiggan Casino which inspired Karen's collection.

Here are a couple of links to watch if you are on your
"coffee break"...

If you are in the mood for some Northern Soul dancing, Brisbane
has it's own regular club called Watch Your Step held at the
Step Inn.

The next date is September the 10th, so pull out your flares or your twirling
skirt and go for a spin.

See you soon,
