Little Piggy Never Went to Market

In keeping with our furniture theme for June -Nature Inspired- comes this little piggy side table from the Collector Store on Crown Street in Surry Hills. 
The inspired furniture maker has hewn this little gem from one single block of wood creating what would be the talking point of any furniture collection.                                                                                               
 So if quirky is right up your alley pop in to the Collector and check this one out.

Aussie Hip Hop - Goes Cool Old School

I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of Australian Hip-Hop but this album by      http://fundamentalz.bandcamp.com/album/fresh-like-86 took me back to the good old days, when Tupac still walked the earth. It was such a pleasant surprise with funky easy beats, smacking lyrics and hooking melody lines that took me right back to era of the mix tape when music was fun, uncomplicated and made you move.

It's FREE to listen to the album and FREE to download and please leave some awesome feedback and let's support Australian Independent music.

Nookie Girl - Hippie Chic

It was so refreshing to have live music open a show at Fashion week last Wednesday night, and bring a whole new dimension to a week that had become just a bunch of coat hangers stomping down a boring runway. The lovely Nikita from Nookie found inspiration in all things hippie and modernised the Love Power and flower power era.
There were great separates to choose from with pretty prints and sparkly night wear, I've got to say though one of my favourite's in the show would be the beautiful bangles designed by her sister Zoe that matched the prints in the clothes. All in all a fun show with great pieces for Summer 2010/2011 get out there and buy them before they run off the shelves.

Fun ,Freedom and Frivolity come on girls lets bring some Love Power back !!! xxoo
