It has been an incredible week. I can't seem to believe how much there is to do even when you are not working full time. There are all those things that you have to neglect and then rear their ugly heads when you thought you could kick you feet up and enjoy a well earned break. I have had to deal with quite a few of them this week, including my garden, which seems to have overflowed with weeds that have grown taller than I am. The weather here in Melbourne has been nice for a while now, even though it is still predictably unpredicatable.
That said, there has been things I have done and writen down in my litte black book but have simply not posted up. One of them is my first blog post on a boutique. On Tuesday, I walked past a fashion boutique on Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn called Hokey Curator. On a shopping district such as Glenferrie Rd which overflows with a range of fashion boutiques, it can be hard to hold your own against them. Yet, in my opinion, Hokey Curator stands out from the crowd with an understated and spacious setting which I found charming and elegant. The shop was not crammed with fashion so it overflowed out the door, but everything in the shop seemed to have been selected with care and good research, and the result was a "quality of quantity" feel. The shop stocks some wonderful local Australian and New Zealand labels as well as some international ones, including fantastic Something Else by Natalie Wood T-shirts with designs and some with geometric patterns, and brands such as Insight, Dhini, Sara Phillips, Strummek, Lover, Sretsis, Ruby Smallbone, Karla Spetic, Karen Walker and Material by Product. The quality of this clothing is amazing and the spring/summer collection has some pieces for all occasions and ages, and I found the owner a lovely woman who was more than happy to help (and let me take some photos!). Thank you Olivia for tolerating me! :)
So feel free to check out the store if you are in town!
