Our friends at Obus are having a super special showing of their brand new threads for SS10/11 this week at their Flinders Street store. We don't want to give too much away, but all you lovely peeps who make it along throughout the week will be able to not only view the new collection but also try it on! There's a bit of an African theme going on, too. Whoo Zulu! Become an intrepid traveler.

Yes, we are the lost, in our hasty winter storage of all things thin, cottony, breezy and short-sleeved, our summer essentials are, lets face it, lost. Where did they go? I swear I put them in a really obvious place, where, come September, I would bring them out of hibernation. What's that you say? There's a new kid on the block when it comes to good simple summer staples? Tell me more! Oh, right, just head over to We Are The Lost? Done.

Want to find out a little more about how some great Aussie fashion pioneers got started? You might want to head along to Fashion Exposed, a series of seminars fronted by some of Australia's industry experts. Speakers include Captains of Industry, Barrie Barton of the Thousands Store and Alice Euphemia to name a few. We have some hot tickets to giveaway so just send your name, address and phone number over here to be in the running. The seminars are happening in Melbourne from August 29 to 31 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.

Spring time is coming, baby! Get ready for some fresh-pickings from the new jewellery range by blogger and jeweller, Kate Miss who runs the For Me, For You blog (a real goodie) and online store by the same name. Today she will be updating her store with some new wonders that will have us all pulling out our fave white tee and getting our necks ready to be adored. The new drop hits the store at 8 pm in the USA so keep your eyes on the clock!

We really like the sound of Rachel Burke’s new fundraising venture. I Make. You Wear It is a project which encourages people to donate to NAPCAN, an organisation dedicated to preventing child abuse. Rachel will make one dress in 2-3 hours every Saturday evening for one of her friends to wear, from August 7th until January 1st. Once made, the dresses are uploaded for all to see in the hope people will post comments and make donations. Head over to help Rachel raise her goal of $25,000 for NAPCAN.
