Australian artist Zoe Sernack has been working within the fashion industry for a while now, doing her bit to bring edgy and different accessories into retail stores around Australia. Whether she was designing bags and jewellery herself or sourcing them. Her interest in them evolved when she co-founded Catch and Kiss jewellery, perpex jewellery that was seen at Fashion Week and on the necks of many girls around town. The trend took over and she has now gone out on her own to have Zoemou, (which means ‘my life’) and ZM. Zoemou is a range of leather laser cut art noveau inspired pieces. Almost like tattoos from another era. ZM is a unisex silver jewellery label, where you can see meat cleaver, sneakers, dracula teeth, pencil sharpeners, halloween pumpkins and the like in beautiful detailed silver. It’s been a hit with both the guys and the girls. We have two of these beautiful ZM charms to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who leave a comment under this posting with what they would most like to see immortalised in a charm. Entries close March 16th and winners will be announced below.

Blippy: tracking real time online spending
The idea behind Blippy is to use the public blackboard that is the burgeoning social media environment to monitor what your friends, and their friends, are spending their hard-earned money on. The Twitter-based platform encourages its members to upload their credit card details so that their online purchases are displayed in real time for all the world — or at least a voyeuristic few — to see.

Zoe couldn’t go wrong with her headphone, shades and koi pieces.

I would love to see a ball of rubber bands
Tarsh said | 8 March, 2007
I really like the pencil sharpener, along with the rubber bands idea above (not sure how that would work) but a paper clip would also look great.

I’d like to see a silver false eyelash charm.
Em said | 12 March, 2007
I’d go for a sawed-off shotgun… or maybe a tongue.
ian said | 12 March, 2007
Along with a pencil for then pencil sharpener, I would love to have a setsquare, or a compass, or even better a slide rule. But most of all a rolling pin and whisk.

Love the rubber band ball idea. Here are a few others I’d like to see:
- Hip flask
- Boxing gloves
- Heart (as in the organ, with aorta and all)

HAVE YOUR SAY
James Rajotte’s photo series on Rochester’s East High School is a revealing insight into the parameters of ’spatial relationships and the connotations of objects’. Of the work, he says: ‘My interest in photographing East came about as I was volunteering in a mentoring program in which students made short video productions with an anti-violent message. When I decided to photograph, I wrote a formal letter to the Superintendent and the Principal. After a bit of humming and hawing they made me East High School’s “official” photographer. They gave me a make-shift laminated pass and I became friendly with the security guards’. For an extended interview with James Rajotte, check out the Feature Shoot photo blog.
You’d be hard-pressed finding a designer with a more impressive background than Jessie Hill. While most of us were waiting to outgrow our awkward teenage years, she was already on her way to Los Angeles. Leaving her Sydney home at just seventeen to pursue her love of fashion, it wasn’t long before Jessie Hill made a name for herself, styling cool kids like No Doubt and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

When I did the Master Cleanse diet a few years ago — the one where you consume nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for ten days — I sat at work looking at pictures of food as if they were porn. Scanwiches would have gotten me hot and bothered like nothing else.

One of the emerging trends in the industry is the personalization of hotels around a style or a theme, so feast your eye on 7 of the coolest and most individual themed hotels from around the world!

The frontman for Sydney trailblazers, Paper Scissors, has just dropped his first solo EP under the alias of Pork Pies, and it’s an absolute beaut. Like the Paper Scissors’ more low-key numbers, there’s a real feeling of raw nostalgia running through the record. Jai Pyne’s distinctive vocals linger on your eardrums for a while after they’ve ceased, anchored down by a poignancy and sense of longing.
