You know when you have one great shopping experience that cancels out all those other horrible times when you've trawled around the shops hunting for that one specific thing that no one seems to have or that urgent present that you've left far too late to buy?
I had one of those experiences. On the weekend, not only did I manage to get most of my christmas shopping done in one day and in budget, but I also got to the Obus studio clearout, which, ok, I might just be gloating now, because it only went for one day, but I picked up this beautiful silk shirt dress, a purple anorak that has heaps of pockets, popper buttons, drawstring ties and a hood (and was immediately useful due to Melbourne's inclement weather) and also two 4 metre lengths of printed cotton voile for the princely sum of $51.
I also met the lovely Kylie, the woman behind Obus, who despite the flurry of activity had the time to stop and chat. They have a short film coming out in the 2009 Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival at ACMI. Obus is one of the nicest local labels around so watch out for it.
