The Prisoners of St Petersburg

In my wanderings on the weekend I came across The Prisoners of St Petersburg, a label that I haven’t seen before.

I can’t find much online – only their myspace. But what I can tell you is that they have a DIVINE array of floaty summer dresses in all sorts of colours and patterns.

See a selection of their spring Summer collection below and head to Hoss to try them on. If anyone has anymore info on these cool cats let me know. Over and out.

So maybe if you piss your man off all the time this isn’t the right gift for you. But then again it’s always nice to feel like he can handle anything, a random mugging, a glassing. Whatever.

And Simo, if you read this, this post is dedicated to you and your super Ninja powers. The man of action.

Lee Sale

I love Lee. Except I still don’t know how I feel about the above ad. Anyhoo.

I cannot express the excitement I felt when I found out that they’re having a warehouse sale in Fairfield. Sparkly flying rainbow ponies. Amazing.

I sent a spy. $120 and three pairs of jeans later she came home. She’s never spying for me again. I didn’t even pay her and now she’s more out of pocket than when she started. Pity.

Get there. 267 Darebin Road Fairfield. 10am-5pm daily. Ends Dec 7.

If you want more of this kind of magic head to Missy Confidential.

The magic words to look for are ‘new stock released daily’.

MAN-GIFT OF THE WEEK

Check out kindling, where you dreams meet nature on a t-shirt.

The founders Nina O’Brien and James Mannion share a love for functional design and believe in sustainable production. So, each gorgeous kindling garment is made with love and longevity.

This whale Tee is the bomb. And if your man has a green heart he’ll love it even more.

Plane.

Given the current economic climate we have to make our clothes go further. All the mags are talking about classic pieces, the white shirt, the little black dress and so on and so forth. Correct. These pieces are must haves.

But there are many other articles of clothing that (I believe) go towards creating the ‘capsule’ wardrobe. In particular the black t-shirt, the hoodie, hot jeans . . . anything plain that you can then accessorise.

It’s tough finding good plain clothes. Items that you can wear over and over again without feeling like you look same same.

So, if you’re black tee is looking a little thin head down to Plane Clothes on Chapel Street and check out their range of garments refreshingly free of ridiculous squiggles and lame-ass-slogans. They stock happening brands like Minty Meets Munt, Lola & Evie and Huffer.

Plane Clothes 143 Chapel Street Windsor. Ph. 9521 3307. Make sure you check out the change rooms. There’s nothing plain about them.

Adora the Fedora.

Ok. So I know that headline rhyme is lame but I couldn’t help myself. Like. Totally.

It’s hard to think about summer when it’s raining outside but luckily Fedora’s serve a purpose when Mother Nature’s happy and sad.


They’re a few styles kicking around in the likes of Kookai and Sportygirl but my picks are the Country Road red striped number and the Coal Layne Straw shade-giver. Actually all the Coal Fedora’s are pretty sweet. You can pick them up at The Lab or Villain in Brunswick, Donuts Delux or City Hatters in the CBD or Carlisle Accessories in St Kilda.


Melbourne hipsters and old school cats have been toting these straw hats forever and a day. Respect. But just remember, always take your hat off at the dinner table. No matter how bad your hat hair is.
