Curvaceous Schweppes
Vintage pin-up girls cunningly hug curvaceous bottles of Schweppes’ recently launched Limited Edition Collection. To celebrate its historic style, Schweppes’ Ginger Ale, Lemonade, Soda Water, and Indian Tonic Water, are all swanked up with authentic, rarely-seen pin-up muses hailing from the 1920s to the 1950s. Created in collaboration with Australian-based design agency DiDonato, this limited series is one of two ranges released by Schweppes in honor of its chic heritage and sophisticated past. In its Fashion Range, developed exclusively by Australian fashion designer Toni Maticevski, a contemporary approach to the old-school Schweppes style is taken, echoing enduring style and spirit. Sadly, the collection is not enduring but limitedly available for a short time at select bars, restaurants, and cafes.

Once the weekend comes calling, so do brunch goers. In some cities, it’s all about the ladies that brunch while their kids wail in strollers, in others its crowds of hung-over hipsters waiting on their hair-of-the-dog Bloody Mary. In San Francisco, it comes on a truck, of course. Read more
Emma McNally creates abstract graphite drawings inspired by cartography, maps, and musical notation. Occasionally her pieces suggest depth and dimension, while some of her other pieces seem like star charts for imaginary galaxies.
Having originally sprung from the Shaky Isles (otherwise known as New Zealand), I can appreciate the humour in the New Zealand cartoon series, Bro Town, the first homegrown animated series to screen during local prime time. It’s simply brilliant, a real play on the ‘thuck’ accent and small town ways of our Kiwi brethren.
