Melbourne Pop-Up Markets. Elpple.
Pop-Up Markets 118 High Street Prahran. I recently went to the Pop-Up Markets in Prahran. There are a fair few artists there and a range of fun things to be treated with plus food too. Of all the vendors, I found Elpple (AKA Ellen Grace) and I really liked her work. She’s very quiet [...]
Conversations with Creative Women – The Creative Women’s Circle Book.
We had the pleasure of being asked to design a cover page in The Creative Women’s Circle exciting first book release – ‘Conversations with Creative Women’ for the talented fashion designer Masayo Yasuki. With a brief of designing a typographic title page Masayo Yasuki’s interview that is aesthetically sympathetic to [...]
Paperific Expo!
Despite being a designer and following the usual preference for clean layouts, white space and minimalism, there are certain… creative indulgences one likes to dabble in outside of work – one of those for me being the world of papercraft; handmade cards, stationery, all that paperie goodness that makes me feel ‘happysparkles’ (is it a [...]
Angela’s Q&A on the designers blog.
When Angela saw the standard Q&A we had on the blog, she ignored my email. Cheeky A. So we did a custom one for our non-designer in the house. It doesn’t ask questions about tofu, which is the only part that disappoints me. However, seeing her answers, I feel like doing one of these myself… [...]

Link Love from Brisbane, NYC and Mr. Montgomery
Sometimes I want people to get famous, just so I can say “BAM, I mentioned them here on the blog back in ’99″. Yes, lame, I know. Anyhoo. I’ve chosen 3 artists / websites to share this week. First up in the header image are porcelain bangles I want. From Lightfoot Prints in Brisbane, not [...]
Hut 13 – yes, it’s in Armadale.
Hut 13 13 Morey Street, Armadale (03) 9500 1343 Sometimes, posts are so overdue, its ridiculous. I visited Hut 13 two weeks ago and so much has happened since. V and I fought and made up. My ankle got bunged and is now strapped. Agnes made amazing cupcake pops. We sent out invites for the [...]
Padre.
Padre Coffee. 322 Coventry Street Melbourne VIC 3205 (03) 9209 6295 V and I often go to South Melbourne markets (sorry, side note, his preference is Vic Markets because he knows whom to bargain with and where to get the best coriander from as well)… I urge you to go. Try those amazing pistachio thingees pictured above [...]

Dagmar Rousset
D and I recently popped into Dagmar Rousset on Gertrude St and the knit sweaters reminded me of M. Bright colours, awesome socks, nice lighting pendant in the centre and a little store full of things that will make you smile. I was too shy to ask if I could take pics indoors – so you’ll [...]
NZ’s Westpac Impulsive Saver
Every now and then, I come across an idea so brilliant – I wish there was a “Share” button in my real life, so I can spam it out to everyone I know and tell them how cool it is. Of course, the share button of my life is on Facebook – and I don’t [...]
She Says. Raise your voice.
I recently read about She Says. If it were in Melbourne, I would be there. Unfortunately, it’s only available to the cool kids in Sydney, NY and more. Grrr. It’s about women in creative in digital departments. And about the fact that there aren’t many. It’s a chance to chat and be heard. I’m nuts [...]
Charlotte Taylor
I’ve had Charlotte Taylor on my radar for months. I have a “to blog” list of people whom I’m dying to share. She’s top of the list. Her prints have penguins, ants and elephants and more. I want. You can buy her goodness at Coggles.
Karishma Shahani
I’ve found me a super cool namesake via MasalaChai. Yes, I’m biased to colours – anything bright has me hooked. Like an epic caffeine hit. You can find her London College of Fashion page here, her facebook page here and her official site here! I cannot wait to find her famous and on net-a-porter. Epic [...]
Valentine / Schmallentine.
We’re not all smoochy / lovey dovey at Miss Kish. Hell, I got my second bouquet in five years. But what is not to love about a cupcake with incredible icing on it? Thanks to Becky Chi, we’ve got our cupcakes down to a “T”. Only note – if you have clients beyond the Tullamarine [...]
Are you getting attention?
When a magazine drops and you’ve got an advertisement on a single page somewhere in the middle of it all – are you getting bang for your buck? No seriously, is anyone going to look? Those smart blue flyers are getting more love. But better still, should you have an insert or a brochure or [...]
