Let's SK8 like it '88!

Further to my obsession of ALL things yellow, I am thinking about getting these amazing skateboards at OK OK for the Summer. 

B

Brunswick is well known for it's very active bike riding community but something about having these POP! plastic boards on our streets carrying hipsters in Vintage from Ray's to the Vic Hotel (we don't want to get puffed out now do we?)appeals to my 1980's heart.

Penny Complete Skateboards are made here in Australia, fit in your backpack and are a remake of the original plastic injection moulded boards from the mid 70's. They come in under $150! SO, I need some feedback, who thinks this is a good idea for OK OK? Comment on this post or send feedback via email or on Facebook. 

What is the equivalent of Peter Pan for women? Whatever it is, yup! That's me! xx

Shoe shot.

Aranha Floc $85/ Sandals.. That means Spring. Do you hear that Melbourne? You can't argue with the sandals!!

My learning disability was out in full force sabotaging my life today. As it does. It is now...how many days till the end of Winter?? Oh, just 7days shy of this event and me? I STILL GOT CAUGHT OUT TODAY! Sunny morning..Of course, don't bother wearing a coat or layers, no, no! It's Spring see. No need. It won't turn, it can't it's too pretty and warm to just fricken back flip on yo ass.... Weekly people. Weekly this is what my day begins with. One way or the other I fail to remember, well, yesterdays mistakes and learn from them... Is it pure stupidity or my dedication to be ever the optimist? Don't answer that.

Joking+Lovefoxxx $95/ They're foxes. See? I have them making out because I am a child.

Ultragirl Animals $95/ Lots of animals available.

 

On a high note, Melissa shoes came in. Bored with the million and one real things I should be doing like tax, paperwork, design, production, organising the shambolic state of my shop, my business, my life! I thought it was time to try on pretty bubble gum shoes and take photos of them for y'all. I seriously CANNOT believe I ordered so many shoes.. Can. NOT! Also CAN NOT believe how many pairs are coming home with me.

                                                        

Vivienne Westwood+Ultragirl Bows $155/ Stupid cute..Stupid. Cute.

Marine Flower $90/ Nana time. Pom-pomalicious!

Ultragirl+Alexandre Herchcovitch $140/ Genius..Studded..Digitally printed...Delicious

Vivienne Westwood Zen Girl $135/ From now on when you see me this is what my feet will look like. It's LOVE!

I thought it would simply look weird if I tried on the men's shoes, my feet are freakishly small in proportion to my statuesque physique (ahhhhhhemmm!). So, guys, just letting you know, plenty, PLENTY of new M ZERO's in stock. And by new I mean the ones I already had, a few new colours and more sizes. Because they're perfect and you shouldn't f**k with perfection.

K. Shallow show lady signing off. xx 

From Dream to reality..

I have long had an obsession with the colour yellow. It's a particular type of yellow. It ranges from point A. super bright & perfect yellow let's call it, and spans far across the Pantone rainbow to neon yellow (ignore the 'all-the-kids-are-wearing' neon trend- my concern is not with them- this love of Neon yellow is a legitimate and real love- not some flippant 'trendy-must-have-this-season' Love).

It is true of course, that where fashion is concerned, yellow is a misunderstood misfit which clashes with just about everybody's skin tone. Cruel but true. I don't fall into this category and can safely say I look shit-hot in yellow (it's true, I've been told). Mostly though, it's a colour that should be reserved as an accent, a peaking out hint, an accessory colour or part there of. Insert perfect bag of my dreams & in my imagination...

Hello I love you won't you tell me your name?

“Laurent Sauvé Beach Sling”.

Be still my beating heart! This bag is Handmade by...Hands, in Portland, Oregon by a label called Vanport Outfitters. This bag appeals most to my heart but the entire range is so on the money it's not even funny, honey.


I am currently working on extracting this bag from my dreams and importing it into my reality.. Just in time for the two of us to welcome Springtime to Melbourne.. Together.. I will love you, Laurent Sauvé Beach Sling and hang with you all the long days of summer...

Sheepishly called spring a few days ago *pulls at collar*...

Oh Jil Sander. It's as though you went inside my brain and dragged out the colours of my Spring time dreams... You will see what I mean when you cop an eyeload of OK OK socks range for Summer.. Check out the yellow & aqua below. Represent! OOoooo & AAAAhhh. Reacting heavily against Melbourne Black (although I'm wearing the Melbourne uniform today..'cept my nails are greeeeeeen!).

[There are currently some rad Cats outside my shop here in Sparta place talking about politics.. A well informed discussion of intelligent views.. I want to go out there and join in or ask if they want to share a big Green group hug, but instead I'll just swoon about how much I love Brunswick, how happy I am with my life..so on and so forth...Shooting out positive vibes into the atmosphere that all will come good this evening.]

You're wrong Kermit!

Contrary to a wise, adorable, fabric frog- it's EASY being Green. 

Vote 1: Australian Greens.

Bob Brown is an inspiration, I feel pointless and vain by comparison and love this man. He is good people. This party is the only option in Australian politics which resonates with me. True story. It's love. 

On the pointless and vain part.. I am applying layers of green nail polish between sentences and am devising a green outfit to rock to an election party tomorrow. Yup.

Election Day for this here country: Saturday 21st of August: Exercise your right to vote at a primary school near you! If you don't know where to go, find it here.

Dancing & Politics

Is it bad form to talk politics when your blog is intertwined with your business??? Ha ha ha... See how I asked that question like I care about etiquette. As if.

I am voting in the Melbourne Electorate. I'm psyched. Despite the fact that Australian politics actually makes me Larf my ass off, I will for the first time EVER feel that my vote is actually going to mean something.


GO THE GREENS!


In other, unrelated news, I was starting to think that perhaps I was turning into a bit of a wanker. Blah, blah MIFF this, look at me I watch films about artists and important artistic movements in New York in the 70's & 80's.


Sunday. Hangover. Victoria Gardens. Hoyts. Sprite. 3-D glasses. 1xBFF AND... Step up 3-D. Because y'all are so effing highbrow & have not most likely even heard of this movie, above is the trailer for your viewing.

Oh my god so funny! All I can say is 0% body fat, ZERO story line & NO actors (apparently you can make a movie without actors, who woulda thunk it). What it DID have were starved, plastic children, who admittedly could dance, were dressed in NIKE & filmed doing dance routines then they sticky taped said scenes with some other random RIDICULOUS scenes where they talk to each other (not sure why they bothered) added a hip-hop & R&B soundtrack and called it a film.


So, so bad that it was hysterical.


Consider me leveled.

Vote bitches! Saturday 21st of August find out where @ http://www.aec.gov.au/election/where-can-i-vote.htm
