bams & ted pop-up store

I have to admit, my latest dress-up box contained various wigs (including a long blond one), a jungle girl and a strawberry outfit- hardly the very stylish, vintage-esque one that bams & ted is envisioning for their next pop-up store.

bams & ted in fact do pop-up stores that will put my dress-up box to shame. Based on a leading character from a film or novel, you'll find a bounty of vintage clothing, furnishing and objects that will take you straight into their world.

Having previously visited the lives of Francie (To Catch a Thief), Miranda (Picnic at Hanging Rock) and Jessica (Murder She Wrote), their sights have moved to Sebastian from the Evelyn Waugh classic Brideshead Revisited.

Not sure what you're in for? Think 1920's, the English country, lavish details and subdued extravagance. And hats. Hopefully lots of hats. But if there's one thing that inspires from all of this, it's the beautiful layers and mixture of cream tones and fabrics. Oh la la, I couldn't think of anything more stylish at the moment, especially since I'm sitting here looking at my wardrobe and noticing that I only have about 2 things in that tone!

Visit the bams & ted website for more info, but in the meantime, perhaps it's time to get a headstart? I'd love the below with the top tucked into the shorts.

Happy Friday!

obsession du jour!

If there was just one person you'd like to interview, one closet you could raid, whose would it be? For us, it would undoubtedly be that of Anna Dello Russo, editor-at-large at Vogue Japan. She's known for her versatile yet fierce style - it is unmatchable and this is why we love her!

which are our favorites? we can't seem to decide.

*Listen* Luke Steele - Accidents Happen

Luke Steele is well-known on the Aussie music scene, first as the frontman for his band The Sleepy Jackson, and more recently, as one half of Empire of The Sun- the other half of course being Nick Littlemore from Pnau (of course if you haven't heard of any of these I'm probably being a music nerd, but please take this as an opportunity to look them up!).

If you're not too fussed about one's music resume, all you need to know is he's a tad eccentric- any of his latest wardrobe choices will tell you that, and a very talented individual.

This is a track I'm starting to hear more and more and my ears can't help but prick up everytime I hear the track. Unfortunately the man himself doesn't make an appearance but an interesting clip none the less.

We'd love to know your thoughts and even better, what you're listening to at the moment!

Going green: There ain't no food in this box!

Happy tuesday girls! It's been a hectic week but as always, we'll always slot in some time for a blog post! Today we'd like to proudly announce that after a few months of talks and planning, we're finally making a stand to reduce our carbon footprint!

And be assured that there ain't no burger in this lunch box! We've just started using recycled paper boxes for our accessories and small items! Two extra plus points for you is that, no.1 - you can recycle this lunch box as well, and no.2 - your accessories will be safe and protected during shipping and handling. As for our clothes, they'll be in recycled packaging too!

Let's work together in reducing our carbon footprints for a better future. And that of our future grandchildren too. :P

Baby steps towards a fuller, happier future! If you have any further ideas on going green, drop us a comment!
