premme
Gabi Gregg and Nicolette Mason were fed up
with the fashion industry ignoring plus-size
women, so they went about creating some
snazzy apparel of their own. The result is
Premme: a label touting cute-as-heck duds like
this here glitter wrap skirt (around $83), all with
the aim of expressing your personality without
being limited by society’s fashion rules. Wanna

charms you) and send it on to a loved one. Nab it for

boot
Many moons ago,
Russian peasants
noticed how cosy local
sheep looked in the
depths of winter, and
had the bright idea of
turning their wool into
felted boots to keep their
own tootsies warm.
Back in the here and
now, the clever folks
atBaabukare using
that same technique
fortheirowncold-
weather shoes, with
added leather support
and chunky soles ideal
for gallivanting on
icy floors. Heading to
a chillier clime? The
unisex boots can be
snapped up for around

Given oysters do
such a sterling job
of keeping precious
gemstones safe and
sound, it makes
sense that we would
go to them with other
treasure-storing
propositions. Thanks
to this nifty purse
from Spanish label
Don Fisher, you can
now shove all your
excess change into
their hard-wearing
shells (although
these particular
oysters are made
from 100 per cent
cotton, so they’re a
little bit less sturdy).
Around $40,

Some believe video games are an inside activity; growing
flowers is an outside activity; and never the twain shall meet.
But game developer Chelsea Saunders pooh-poohs that idea –
she’s even gone so far as to design a set of pixel flower stickers
(around $4 each). Because who says digital blooms can’t be
beautiful, too? chelseasaunders.comfrank bits
