Adidas Originals x Pharrell Williams Supercolor

Here’s why we love the new Pharrell x Adidas Superstar Supercolor shoes and no, it’s not just because they are pretty. So, late last year when Pharrell shared that infamous sneaky snap to his Instagram of himself sitting in a circle of his rumoured collaboration shoes with Adidas, the world did exactly as we all expected it to, and the internet blew its shit up. We must admit, although we loved the colours and definitely planned on nabbing ourselves a pair, we didn’t totally get what the hype was about. I mean, if you...

Mid-week Inspiration Hit with Extraordinary Routines

One of our favourite blogs we like to keep tabs on at the moment is Extraordinary Routines; an interview project curated by Melbourne-based writer and editor Madeleine Dore.

The blog is dedicated to discovering the daily routines of creatives, who divulge their morning routines, sleeping habits, exercise regimes and creative peaks and troughs among many other tidbits in their daily lives. We’re real sticky beaks deep down and love to know how others tick (and get shit done!), so we wanna take this opportunity to give Madeleine a high five for taking one for the team...
