winter rhapsody

 

nothing spells out winter in Melbourne like merino. (ok and friday night footy. and maybe MIFF). at the heart of  theViktoria and Woods range are their signature merino knits, but the offerings from these mainstays of classic attire just get cooler with every passing season. the entire range possesses a transeasonality and timelessness that will please you greatly year after year.

Mothers; sometimes the angel, sometimes the devil.

well folks, that second sunday in May creeps around pretty quick, and in the rush to acquire the perfect gift (whilst simultaneously remembering gifts given in previous years so as to not perform a repeat gifting error, or RGE), get the card, make it to lunch on time, and not start any major bickerfests coz its Sunday and thus not really a day we are dying to spend with the 'rents -

I think we often overlook the essence of what the day is about - we are here because of her and that makes her pretty awesome. hopefully we have turned out to be a relatively well rounded and respectable lass or fellow, with reasonably good personal hygiene standards and socially acceptable table manners.

the lead up to easter is always a bit anxiety ridden. everywhere you go - bank, supermarket, post office - the queues are out the door, what with everyone bunkering down for the weekend.

we at the lulu's have the good sense to know that there's never a bad time

to go shopping. and what's a better day-off-work activity than cruising down to the shops? we reckon do a sleep in, (practise some religion?), relax, and come down to carlisle and say hi!

we'll be unloading box after box of awesome new clothing and pressies for big kids and littl'ies.  

 

good friday: 10-5

easter saturday: 10-5.30

easter sunday: 12-5

easter monday: 11-5 

 

happy long weekend XX 

 

 

What would we wear if we were aged somewhere between brand new and big kid? Minti, obvs.

Genuinely cool gear for little dudes is the signature of this brand, and now that winter has finally (kinda) hit, it's time to get some sleeves on your mini me.

 

 

 

 

Winter range is in store now.

hello, friends...

 

the super-talented team at Raw Ceramics have transformed the humble block of clay into beautiful and practical gifts that last a lifetime. we can't wait to bundle up all the stray pens and pencils around the desk and house them in one of these. made with quite a  large load of love in Brisbane, and hitting our shelves tomorrow...    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Priced from $25-$35.

Your next pressie is sorted!

 

 

...and whilst on the subject of keeping your stuff looking simultaneously tidy and awesome, these hand crafted crochet vases and bowls are similarly perfect for organzing your bits and bobs. and c'mon - who wouldnt want a splash of neon to go with their organic jute?! (well, there are plain ones just incase).

 



from $39, including a glass insert so you can fill it with your favourite florals straight away!

 

 

 

A lulu favourite, Stampel, has been busy making our accessories better, and i reckon we should all thank her!

yep, these are a guaranteed winner for yourself or your buds. 

is there such a thing as a spray painted wooden necklace obsession..? 

 





 

earrings from $55, necklaces from $60. nice!

 

 

 

new to our ever expanding range of bespoke stationery are these very beautiful cards from Quill and Fox. Printed in a small studio in Portland, Oregon, we adore the vintage book inspired illustrations and the gorgeous quality of the paper. These cards are a gift in themselves! 

 

 

 

 

 

more designs in store.

 

come look!

 

 

 

Love Lulu.

 

Open every day.
