Mindful of her loyal fans in the balmy north, MFAT designer Danielle Atkinson
has kindly produced some styles in 100% cotton rather than her usual silk, like
the Thames Tee and the Cathedral Shirt.
All great easy pieces that have a "dressed feel" with a sporty edge.
As always, the collection is hand made in Australia.
This collection is available in store now and also on-line here:

LIfe is Connected is designed in Melbourne by Japanese born
Yuki Shibuya.
Yuki describes the philosophy behind his label name in that he believes
that whatever happens in life, it is connected to someone, somewhere, somehow...
The concept for his small menswear line is quality in wardrobe essentials
combining elements of street wear and classic styles.
The California Tee is perfect timing as we get closer to the opening of
the California Design Exhibition that is on it's way from the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art and opening at the Queensland Art Gallery on the 2nd of November.
LIC is available in store at Blonde Venus now and also on-line here:
Have you been enjoying the Brisbane Festival?
This is the last week with Riverfire happening on Saturday night
for those of you that love fireworks.
There's lots of other fun things to do around town too...
Friday the 27th
Red Mecca
I'm super hyped to see extraordinary Hobart band The Native Cats
play at Spring Hill's Alliance Hotel tonight for the official launch
of their new album called Dallas.
If seeing the Native Cats wasn't big enough, all of the support bands
are fantastic and all three have been announced on the Sound Summit line-up.
From Bateman's Bay to Brisbane, School Girl Report will open the show
followed by the dynamic duo Chris Campion and Sean Campion
in Multiple Man who are launching their new tape called Built Wrong.
Closing the night are Sydney two-piece Four Door featuring Jonathan Hochman
(Holy Balm) and Matthew Hopkins (Naked on the Vague) who will also be
launching their new 12".
Doors open at 8pm and it's only $10!
Saturday the 28th
If you're in the mood again on Saturday night, here's another fun mix of
underground Brisbane bands, making for a great party.
Black Vacation, Scrabble, The M-Humm, Thigh Master, You with
#459, Green Nose and DJ Lame.
It's all happening at The Beetle Bar with doors opening at 7pm and it's only $8 entry!
The Lavazza Italian Film Festival opens next Wednesday October
the 3rd at Palace Cinemas.
In the meantime you can pick up a printed programme at BV to start your selection.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page on Monday, as I'll be giving away some movie passes!
You can also read all of the details of the festival here:
If you're a romantic like me, this new Michel Gondry French film starring Romain Duris
and Audrey Tautou, looks like a real fantastical treat…
Watch the trailer here:
The film is screening now at Palace Cinemas and Dendy Portside.
I'm also super keen to see the new Pedro Almodovar film called
I'm So Excited!
Watch the trailer here:
Another great escape with Almodovar's unique and colourful look at the world ;)
This film is showing now at Palace Cinemas
Hope you love it all!
See you soon,
