There are two things sailors really like: looking jaunty and drinking. Oh no wait - there are three things sailors really like. And at least two of them can be indulged in this Sunday at the Carlton. The bar is being transformed into a market, with 15 stalls in the dining room, the front balcony and the back courtyard selling vintage designer duds new and old, glamorous jewellery, jaunty jewellery, shoes and sundry trinkets.
Consider this their fifth curtain call. The Is Not party has been had. Issue 11 is out on the streets and it's being covered up with Bliss N Eso posters already. But when one troupe of editors find themselves dodging debt collectors, removing all evidence they ever had a business and selling off their assets is the wisest move to make.
Description:
If you're walking through the city between this Friday and next Saturday and you see people acting suspiciously... follow them. Chances are that they are going to, or looking for, Swensk - Melbourne's new Swedish clothing store. The 'Find Our Store' Sale is offering 30% off selected Filippa K, Whyred and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair stock.
Just when you thought you would never own a t-shirt with River Phoenix smokin' a rollie on it, THINK AGAIN. It's the Alphaville sale (on everything except denim and scarves). Alex and Georgie are throwing their fine retail staff to the wolves (us) again with discounts on frankly already-quite-affordable fashions.

Description:
The brains of For Better or Purse has been trekking about Europe indulging in fine wine, fashion and beaches. But she's back and kicking off another event of thread-swapping and champagne-sipping. FBoP has established itself as a must-go-to event for anyone low on dough with a fear of hessian sacks.

After the roaring success of last Saturday's ‘Pants & Pies' sale, James Cameron presents ACT II this weekend. Vintage wash denim, Japanese corduroy, English wools, flannel trousers, and free pies.
Be among your fellow men as you peruse the pants and avail yourself of pastries. Likely your pushy girlfriend will be put off by the carb-heavy snacks, so you will be free to hang out asking gay questions such as ‘does my butt poke out too much?', ‘should this be more tapered in the ankle?' and ‘do you have BBQ sauce?'
