rollas denim
If you’re the type of person who
loves to grumble about old fashion
trends coming around again, we
regret to inform you that flares
are back. For those who relish a
breeze to the shins and/or enjoy
cosplaying as one of Charlie’s
Angels, however, we have this to
say: “Woohoo! Flares are back!”
Just head to rollas.com.au if you
don’t believe us.

Homework is the pits. It’s a simple fact of life.
But you know what makes it better? Cute-as-
heck notebooks to doodle your algebra, spelling
or periodic tables in. You don’t even have to be a
student to use these colourful lovelies from Dutch
brand Sticky Lemon – just pop one on your office
desk, and you’ll be the envy of all those drongos
using standard-issue lined jotters. From around
$4.60, stickylemon.nl
filling the blanks with... anatole
serret from parcels
Our best gig was on an enormous hill overlooking the whole of
Glastonbury. We were on a tiny stage made of wooden crates,
with half a drum kit, a couple of mic stands and keyboards on
the grass. After our shows, we’re usually scrambling back on
stage to get our gear off in a painfully small amount of time.
The coolest music act we’ve worked with is Dean Dawson, a
’90s Berlin hip hop artist who’s the biggest personality I’ve ever
met. He freestyled on the last track of our most recent album.
If you’re moving overseas for the first time, stay in touch with
your mother – she’s missing you like crazy. When I face writer’s
block, I turn my ears off and find inspiration in visual arts. Either
that, or I put on a Steely Dan record and tell myself I probably
wasn’t doing anything that great, anyway. When I’m skint, my
go-to meal is porridge. The best thing about living in Berlin is
the 30-cent porridge, and in Byron Bay it’s a day on the sand at
Torakina Beach. My dream decade to live in is the now. We are
living in crazy times. I wouldn’t want to miss anything.

Oh hello there, dear little
critter. What lovely big
eyes you have! Would you
care to jump on our lapel
and join us for a trundle
around town? What’s that,
your name is Sheila? What
a coincidence, that’s our
pooch’s name as well! Don’t
be frightened, though –
if you stick with us we’ll
make sure you and your
sparkly wattle garland are
kept safe and sound. Now,
hold on tight, please.
No gliding away allowed.

Adulthood is seriously
lacking in achievement
awards. Where’s the
medal for paying our bills
on time? The high-five
for when we cook dinner
four nights in a row?

makers Yellow Owl
Workshop understand
we just want a shiny
ribbon with some glowing
praise on it every once in
a while. Give yourself or
a mate a well-deserved
pat on the back with
one of their award
ribbons – they’re going
for around $7 a pop.
