Oh Carla

Carla Zampatti you are the sister of my soul.
As far as I'm concerned (and seeing as this is my blog, that is all that matters) Carla Zampatti is Australia's best designer and can do no wrong. Upon seeing her past collection I actually shed a tear, it was that amazing.
I have recently purchased my first piece of Carla Zampatti, a silver wrap jacket. It is so wonderful, I'm thinking of going back for seconds!
Take note of the female flattering shapes, incredible form and structure and the gold! Oh! The gold!

Swimsuit Up

I am super excited for swimming this summer after seeing these new swimsuits from the Australian online store, Black Milk. I love the simple shape which brings back memories of the 90's and the great prints. There are more that 20 variations online as well as crazy printed tights and bodysuits.
The best part is the swimsuits are only $85.00 and can be in your hot little paws before the week is out.
You'll be having fun, fun, fun 'til your daddy takes your credit card away!

Illustrator Milliken

Melbourne based illustrator Kristy Milliken does beautiful, colorful water colors often featuring rather rotund women sometimes in animal costumes, often naked and always fun.
The shapes, hues and lightness of her works are wonderful.

Tasteful Australiana.

Tasteful Australiana is so rare, it's hard to escape from all the koala fridge magnets, wooden Australia shaped cribbage boards and tacky Parliment House shot glasses, but Australian husband and wife design team Poulier & Poulier have come up with something a little better.

These charming Captain Cook and Sir Joseph Banks silhouette prints come in cards (shown below), tea towels and tote bags and they're all designed, printed and produced in Australia.
