Try it...

Picturewalls
I love the idea of so many tiny little memories squeezed into one space! It gives in to the idea of clutter without actually being clutter.
...Organised chaos, so to speak.

A few of our favourites...

Wow! I love this wall! Such a bold feature which adds a touch stamp of drama to the room. A very risky idea but it has been done so well that it works. What do you think?

I like that this one is all jammed together, it's youthful, colourful and fun! 

(I think this would be a great variation for a picture wall in a kids room - with paintings, handprints and certificates framed within one feature)

I'm always coming back to the vertical stripes (Anne M, this is your fault!) There's just something about striped wallpaper which is timeless. The various shapes which have been used within the arrangement of the wall are also quite lovely. (I especially love the big bold circular mirror and the profile figure!) 

Hm... I wonder how the NOW&then TRUNK would hold up under the weight of a picturewall?

We may just have to find out...

It's been a while...

... but we're back!


We've been busy traveling all over, sourcing for NOW&then boutique just for you! We've picked up some awesome pieces this trip, some of which featured in our upcoming NOW&then Spring/Summer'10 collection shoot (exciting!!)
Stay tuned for the collection in it's entirety. Until then, here's a sneak peek of the collection shoot (your chance to be the very first to call shotgun on the new collection)

What do you think!!?! 

Thank you to the amazing Jennijane Photography (Amazing images, right!!?!) and our lovely models Kate and Emma, super MUA Anie, and very patient assistant Gee. Such a great afternoon shooting around the neighbourhood (and some very interesting sights for the neighbours and passers by!) We can't wait for the release of the collection! Not long now!

Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung!
You know that feeling you get when the season changes... the air changes... there's a different vibe around...

What will you be wearing this season?

After our marathon travels to London, through Europe and with a quick stop through Dubai (from which we picked up some beautiful bits and pieces, beads and fabric!!!) we decided we should knuckle down and get busy working!

From September we will be launching our first run of our original mini collection series - 6 original themed pieces per collection, each unique and of limited stock. Our first collection "Flights of Fancy" is a limited selection of feather inspired jewelry - collars, cuffs, earrings and headpieces...

(And we have to admit... we're pretty excited!)

You want a sneak peek, do you!?! 
Well... ok! 
Below: a few of the very early pieces from the Flights of Fancy Collection. 

We're baaaaack!

It's been a while... but we're back!

And we got straight back into the swing of things, dragged ourselves out into the cold of the August morning, and set up at the Brisbane Valley Markets last Saturday. Met some great customers, sold some really cool pieces (we're noticing you're loving our retro denim shorts and quite a few different scarves this time around... preparing for festival season maybe?) Also had a chat to many lovely stall holders and drank way too many cups of tea as usual... A great day!

Especially lovely to meet our neighbour for the day, Fiona of Tree Party Designs 

- Fiona makes the cutest brooches, pendants and earrings (the jewelry was so cute I had to phone my flatmate to come and check it all out (she wanted to buy everything but settled on the cutest little vintage look birdcage pendant) 

Find out a little bit more about Fiona and her designs here

So we're off!

We're about to head off to do some serious sourcing/buying/vacationing to London, through Europe and Dubai... So expect some amazing finds arriving in store next month!
In the mean time, stay tuned for our travel updates as we scout around for some amazing pieces from all over the globe!
Can't wait to bring the TRUNK out in August to show you all!
