If you love photography and find yourself a little broke (like all of us), there's a pretty cool competition going on where you can win a Nikon DSLR camera pack worth $5000. All you have to do is take a pic of your hometown. More deets over here. Nice photos from here.
oh mercy!

If you have your sights set on some sweet Aussie tunes, look no further than Oh Mercy. They recently played at Splendour In The Grass and are about to release their limited edition Keith Street 7" single and kick off a national tour to celebrate. We have two double passes for each gig up for grabs, so send us an emailwith your name, address, phone number and preferred show and we'll see what we can rustle up. Make sure you can attend the show you enter for, more info over here.
It's no secret that we love love love everything about Etsy and the way that they support independent artists and designers, so we thought we'd bring you a little bit of sunshine to brighten your day. My Sweet Prints is an Etsy store with some lovely prints by Janette Baker. The new mum keeps herself busy with bub as well as specialising in creating original art, kid's prints and interior loveliness. A sure way to chirp up any room and any mumma.
We all love a good roadtrip, so you can image how thrilled we were to get a few copies of The Bourgeois Bicycle Caravan (great name by the way) in the post a few weeks ago. Mates, James, James and George embarked on a rambling journey by bike across the western seaboard of France. Armed with cameras, surfboards and Russian beat poetry, the boys conquered the wild and emerged with a very fine little newsprint journal that is for sale over here. Nice one boys.
So we all know that around this time every year, Lover release their new season lookbook.Untitled has us smitten. We gaze at it with longing, glassy eyes and dream of long days roaming the hot streets and open spaces of summer. Swoon. If you're in Sydney this Thursday and can make it along to the Incu store at The Galeries, you will be treated with some charming window displays curated by the Lovers themselves, who will be in-store for a chat. Each Lover purchase made on the night will also score a limited edition fanzine.
