HAKEA SWIM

The native Australian plant genus ‘Hakea’ is known for its rare and diverse beauty coupled with extreme resilience. These are qualities that swimwear designer and Hakea Swim founder Casey Eastwell describes as being the essence of the woman befitting her brand. Hailing from a little landlocked town in regional Victoria, a 17-year-old Casey couldn’t wait to get […]

SOUSZY

Souszy is a collection of every day lace underwear made for the every day women. The Co- Founders, Ebony and Laura explored the idea blurring the underwear drawer lines between casual and sexy underwear and replacing this with a versatile lace panty. We spoke to Laura and Ebony about their rigorous testing process to find […]

FORM BY T

I met Tessa at the Fitzroy Mills Market a few months back when I stumbled across her lovely timber fitted stall. The clothing aesthetic relaxed, form on the body is soft and the colours earthy in burnt orange olive and oatmeal. I immediately felt invited and welcomed into her space and wanted to find out […]

OKAY LADY

By now, you have most likely learnt of the term JOMO (the Joy Of Missing Out) which involves taking pleasure in putting away your electronics, saying no to a social event and choosing to enjoy spending quality time with yourself. Currently on maternity leave with her new-born Angus, Kristy O’Kane, the founder and ‘Head Lady’ […]

Totes Good

Soon to be mum to identical twin girls, Sara Hayat, is the creative mind behind the playful, considered and unique tote bags of Totes Good. In her Thornbury studio, Sara designs and sews small batch pieces whilst listening to Khruangbin and “eating my weight in Savoy biscuits and tasty cheese (but that may be because I’m […]

BIO GLITZ

We all know the wrap on microbeads. Tiny plastic circles that (were) used to exfoliate our delicate skin, washed down the drain and left for our ocean animals to consume, only before being fished, cooked and entering our own beautiful bodies! No thank you. Now the attention turns to other similarly composed micro plastics that […]

PROJECT BODY HAIR

‘Grow it, get rid of it or comb it. It’s your hair, after all.’ – Billie FINALLY, the world’s first razor brand that actually celebrates body hair! Well we all know that no one woman can be completely hairless, yet this is something the beauty industries marketing has led us to believe what is expected. […]

SAVAGE X FENTY

You may have noticed yet another FENTY product over the past week and thought ‘here we go’, but before you move on with your lives, we think you should take a look at what we believe to be her most powerful campaign yet. No makeup or Puma’s here. Instead authentic and confident women donning her […]

SPARKKE CHANGE

Having a crisp cider and chatting about sexual consent or sipping a pale ale and facing the reality of climate change aren’t necessarily things that would pair well, but Sarah and Agi of SPARKKE are two Aussie brewers that are encouraging us to ask these q’s with the aid of a good brew. ‘NIPPLES ARE […]

TREE CHANGE DOLLS

Many women (and men) today will surely remember the bobble headed Bratz doll (I shamefully admit I had a collection of around 16 at once) Their big googly eyed, heavily contoured face and disproportionate frames were not of social concern in their peak period during the early 2000’s. However upon reflection I can see how […]
