"Sunday Best" a local dress up party/parade,

to dress up and join the parade

Boxvintage went with a TIKI theme for the parade

and in true form had a couple of costume changes for the fashion show.

pretty punks

2009-09-09T20:14:00.000-07:00

hand painted skeleton

hand studded wrist detail and painted full sleeve

hand studded detail and hand painted band logo

it seems that fashion again has turned to times past and alternate sub cultures for inspiration...

punks have always been creative in their fashion and they are true "do it yourselfers"

they take risks in life and in clothing choices

this is a fine example of an original camden punk jacket...imagine what this jacket has been through

so when you see the range of studded attire flooding the fashion stores remember that punks were the inspiration

How are they celebrating...with beer of course!

recommendation: chocolate covered dried strawberries and blueberries
and the honey roasted macadamias are amazing

BOX VINTAGE
The southside’s favourite dress up box. This place never disappoints with its colourful offering of local and imported wares. For winter, says owner Nick, things are only getting better. "We have heaps of wonderful winter things in store: leather, suede, knitwear, blazers, long sleeve dresses, wool skirts, trench coats and boots.
"Bright ‘80s knitwear is also getting a lot of attention," he adds, "as is fur and faux fur" (not that everyone agrees with the former, but the ethical choice is ultimately yours). "Ladies long sleeve blouses are also very popular" – and I don’t think anyone can disagree with that. Add a sweet brooch to your lapel or collar and you’re set.
Visit the ever-friendly world of Box Vintage seven days a week at 29 Vulture Street, West End.
