Go Slowly
This beautiful song is getting a workout right now at SS HQ and we wish Radiohead would play in our basement.

On the Beach
All great artists have high and low points in their career and On the Beach is up there for Neil Young. It’s been sort of lost in the vaults of time but was re-released in 2004 and is the perfect album to play when you need to seriously chill. We play it religiously when the heat is on.
The super mellow mood was due to Young and his fellow musicians consuming a homemade concoction dubbed “Honey Slides”, a goop of sauteed marijuana and honey that was much worse than heroin, much heavier and made everything ‘slow’ the hell down.
Those “Honey Slides” must of been the magic potion as this album is seriously an antidote to the mayhem of modern times. Enjoy!

Oooh yeah (more) Grizzly Bear!
We love Grizzly Bear with their beautiful harmonies, unique rhythms and overall crazy ass musicianship and they have been a major inspiration for our forthcoming Summer collection.We seriously can’t believe they’re coming back to our shores so soon after their recent summer tour but bring it on! And bring on the Enmore theatre on Jul 24, yeah!

Now for some Hope
If you’ve been waiting as long as we have for Hope Sandoval to grace our shores it’s not long now.
Bring on her dreamy, ghostly vocal & the rich melodic guitars. She is the perfect antidote to a busy day working at SS HQ.

Ursula eyeshadow?
I stumbled across an article the other day saying M.A.C Cosmetics are collaborating with Disney to create a limited edition villan inspired collection of cosmetics! Awesome.
I loved the Disney version of The Little Mermaid when I was younger, particularly Ursula the octopus- that husky voice! – she was gorrrgeous.

Secret Squirrel at Finders Keepers!
On the 6 -7th May, we were at the Finders Keepers markets at Carriageworks. The markets were really great this year- amazing stalls all around and the Carriageworks space a spectacular backdrop as always.
We had so much fun! And it was cool to meet some Secret Squirrel fans- especially the gorgeous Anna, pictured below in our ‘Why Don’t We’ pleated dress- she’s so beautiful!
Here’s some shots from the market- mostly cute outfits, expertly snapped by our lovely Michelle and Loren- thanks you guys.

My new favourite blog
also happens to be written by Loren, one of our lovely interns. She’s got a great eye for beautiful pictures and pretty fashion and always has something interesting to post.
We love Loren! and her blog! Browsing through it is such a nice way to start the day. She has a healthy girlcrush on Alexa Chung too- verrry good.
Here are some gorgeous pics from her recent posts, and a link to her blog ‘The Feather Fleurette’ check it out!

LOVE
Nirvana’s Unplugged in New York is an amazing album, I especially love this song, About A Girl.
The album’s been a favourite of Andrew’s for a long time ( he even sported dyed blonde Kurt-style hair in the 90′s- hot! ) and we’ve recently rediscovered it, so it’s been getting a real workout at Squirrel HQ.
Makes me want to get some shabby, icy green woolly cardigans and stacks of candles. Beautiful set too..

totally far out, man
We’ve just come back from a long anticipated holiday in the Southern Highlands, living it up buying relish and mustard and handknitted things of all descriptions from old ducks at local markets- bliss! It was very autumn-y down there which suited me and my eyes just fine of course- beauuutifuuull….
The best bit though was standing outside at night looking at all the stars. So many stars! You forget sometimes how many we don’t actually see in Sydney. I’ve been collecting star and galaxy pics since our return.
