hidden treasures.

2011-11-23T22:38:00.000-08:00

on a recent road trip to VIC, SJ stumbled upon a cave of goodies off the beaten track (the best places always are). vintage fashion, furniture, vinyls, giant cobra heads, you name it - they got it. for those of you sitting at your desks pretending to work, i have prepared a little game of spotto. please find:

a) an old four and twenty sign

b) an elegant moo cow ornament

c) a book on wizardology

d) violent femmes on vinyl

c) a life size cut out of security office tuvok from star trek

if you can find everything, you get...our eternal respect.

and any lucky victorians should head out to daylesford to check out the mill, and send me that book on wizardology.

for the kids.

2011-11-22T21:47:00.000-08:00

in order to celebrate 10 successful years of shona joy, we are proudly presenting a capsule collection of adorable little kiddies dresses. each one is made with love from the SJ print archive on silk, rayon or cotton. perfect for christmas presents (yes it's going to creep up on you as always), or just for spoiling your little angels. click here to shop.

2011-11-13T22:58:00.000-08:00

in line with our SS11 collection, we'd like to share shona joy's first foray into accessories. these handbags are pretty off the hook and perfect for summer (which it seems has finally arrived). the first is 100% leather, and the second is canvas/leather with wooden handles. they both have genuine leather weaving and are just a click away from your wardrobe. these babies are available exclusively online click here to shop..

nothing tickles us more than our australian pals heading over to NYC to show the fashion set how we do. helen and dave, the owners of signature prints and long time chums recently decked out the opening of 'florence broadhurst for kate spade' held in october. in between celebrity shoulder rubbing and champagne sipping they managed to do an amazing job, working along side the event stylist brad goreski (previously rachel zoe's styling associate). signature site here!

happy friday to all, they seem to roll around quicker every week. although halloween technically isn't until monday i have no doubt it's going to be a big weekend. if you're still struggling in the costume department - take a look at pedestrians topical costume ideas. tossing up between pregnant beyonce and charlie sheen's twitter account should be your only dilemma (and finding the time to craft your own scary snacks).

before the days of camera bag and instagram people used to point, shoot and develop their pictures. instant gratification wasn't always the aim of the game as you can see by these adorable snaps of a teeny tiny shona joy. you can see the love of print developing from a ripe young age, and a penchant for pushing dollies around in the front yard. too cute.

at long last.

2011-10-20T22:47:00.000-07:00

i hope you all have some serious r&r scheduled for: all weekend. sunny skies and perfect beach weather for the next 48 hours, and it's about damn time sydney.

patti smith always looks exceedingly bad ass. as the godmother of punk, it is her duty to do so. she's also a super interesting lady, and we'd recommend her autobiography 'just kids' for a rainy day read. the book details her multi faceted relationship with photographer/artist robert mapplethorpe, as well as her rise to rock and roll royalty... get it online here!

for those winter nights you can't bare to leave the 1 metre radius of your heater, we can recommend some solid couch time in the form of... twin peaks! we've become slightly obsessed with this 90's serial drama, following the murder investigation of a small town homecoming queen. the fashions and quotes are quality, and we guarantee you'll have a crush on dale cooper (though you'd never admit it).

our summer look book shoot was not with out dramas. thanks to the joys of modern technology, half our samples went to laguna california (and hey who can blame them, i wouldn't mind a summer break). unfortunately a mix in packing slips meant that our babies were half way around the world, with an unknown ETA. after a week of non stop phone calls, emails and sleepless nights, our babies arrived safely in sydney with not a day to spare. a whirlwind of last minute organising followed, before heading to the Corner House in Bondi to get our look book done and dusted. the whole day was eerily calm, dare i say relaxing after a week of melt downs. take a look at our behind the scenes sneak preview, featuring the lovely Jira at Priscillas.

big thanks to simon for letting us use this amazing location - get yourself down to the Corner House for some of the best pizza around (i personally recommend the gonzo) or head upstairs and get one of the handsome bartenders to make you a cocktail.

this shoot seems like a distant memory. it's grey and wet in sydney now, but on the up side - only a few weeks til' spring (i use the term 'a few' very, very loosely here)! we thought you may like to have a sneaky look at the making of the Trigger Happy look book - featuring fabienne@chadwicks, and our favourite photographer/stylist dream team - heather and emmanuel.

the count down is on. only about 48 hours now until fashion weekend begins. for all those who went last year, i'm sure you can remember the shopping madness. 120 designer brands under one roof and my god were people hungry for it! head down to the royal hall of industries in sydney may 12th-15th for up to 60% off summer styles and winter samples. woop!
