Hi Everyone!
Yep, it's Spring and can you feel it?
It's that crazy Riverfire thing.
A nervous energy in the air and like everyone
is just raring to....GO!
We went to the re-launch of The Sky Room
last night for several refreshing cocktails,
DJ El Norto (Troubadour) and Ben Corbett
and Dylan McCormack from Gentle Ben &
His Sensitive Side entertained and superbly so.
As The Valley has commercialised I'm keen
to support projects that are for "people like us"
and this extremely stylish cocktail lounge
that sits above the maddening crowd
is a perfect place for a night cap or two or three...
Nine Lives have certainly had a busy programme
this year and opened another exhibition last night.
Sydney based artist and curator of the China Heights Gallery
Edward Woodley was in town to unleash
his latest works from his collection entitled Surface Tension.
This flyer certainly doesn't give anything away about Ed's collection
which is actually quite punchy and bold and gives a real energy to the
gallery space.
The exhibition runs until 14th of September.
You can check the gallery website for opening hours -
This season is so beautiful!
Here are the latest arrivals...

Lover's collections are always hotly anticipated.
This season they seemed to have reached another level
with the brand where it feels that they don't have to try
too hard.
They have such a strong signature and incredible following
and this collection reflects that.
It is signature Lover with pieces that convey their identity
in lots of great modern separates in soft, flattering shapes
and tones.
This is the first delivery for the season so I'll keep you
up to date as more pieces arrive.
Lover in-store now at Blonde Venus.

As you know, Carhartt has been a popular favourite with us for years.
You can't go past their classic utility styling and amazing quality.
You know, it's a little bit Jarvis Cocker, a little bit rugged mountain man,
a little bit preppy, a little bit psychobilly.
My favourites from this collection are undoubtedly the Duck Polo
which we have also named the Duckman (Pretty In PInk) or The Mighty
Duck(s).
I also love The Master Shirt - call it a Scout thing.
Carhartt in-store now at The Outpost and Blonde Venus.
Penny Skateboards
We sold out of our first delivery but are pleased to say that
we have the Penny Completes back in stock already in all
of these amazing colours!
Still only $149.
Penny in-store now at The Outpost.
There is an amazing line-up at Burst City tonight with Feathers,
Blank Realm and Slug Guts supporting Melbourne's
Fabulous Diamonds for their LP launch.
It's cheap, it's all ages and doors open at 8ish.
Enjoy the fireworks tomorrow night if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm birthday party hopping.
See you soon!
