Alright, so I might not have put too much thought into that title (and I may have come off sounding a little Adelaidian in the process), but ladies, you ought to get into Melbourne’s Little Salon and check out their classy wares. Not simply because my lady manages the two stores, but because you’re honestly going to find some genuinely cool items there.

Click through to catch a few shots I snapped off during a surprise attack visit this afternoon, and a few shots from a fashion book launch we ended up dropping in on, courtesy of Friedy’s good friend ‘Min’ being the book’s editor.

There’s some really, really nice things here, which is largely thanks to Friedy as she does most (all?) of the shopping for the stores on behalf of the owners.

These little toothpick knitting needles are great. Apparently the designer has her grandma knit the woolen bits, and then puts the rest together herself. Nana sweatshop!

A quick shot of myself to satisfy my irrational sense of narcissism… Friedy was in the next shot, but she probably wouldn’t be happy if I were to post it up. So you get just me instead, hoorah.

Then off to the launch of a fashion book for which Friedy’s friend Min (I think her real name is Melinda?) was the editor – and her sister was the designer. What a team!

And I shall leave you with a shot of this really nice and European looking deli.
