Liberty did it

Another Liberty collab? If it were ever possible, I am at risk of getting sick of Betsy. But I have to say that the NIKEiDs are pretty rad – a better design and bigger range of prints than the Converse equivalents (pains me to say, being a Converse girl myself). Not available online to Aus, so hit up that NYC cousin/friend. HF.

West (now south) Elm & co.

There is now a stellar range of storage baskets and photo frames in Sydney, care of the Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn/West Elm migration. From well designed, inexpensive sofas to the perfect jars for jam season, this is going to shakes things up, retail-wise. For smaller items, the prices are only a smidgeon more than the US. And the range is pretty good, considering we’re one fifteenth the size, population wise. Oh, and the staff were both plentiful and super helpful. My only gripe: the store configurations – if only they’d taken over a deco warehouse down Alexandria way! HF.

Inigo can be seen trying to match his neon pram to the grey Westelm sofa, above – good job pikelet!

All photos from Westelm.

Suno-qlo

After nabbing some things from the Uniqlo/Orla Kiely range last year in Tokyo, I might have to justify a trip back to peruse the new Suno line. I love how Erin Beatty and Max Osterweis have created a range that directly relates to their last ready to wear collection, rather than a complete departure. Ticking ahoy! HF.
