Folks, it’s been a cracker of a year in regards to women’s equality. As always the fight is never over and there is still a whole heap that can be done to level the playing field, but global movements like #TimesUp and #MeToo have seen important conversations taking place on a scale (and at a volume) like never before. One of the biggest examples that things are changing is the increased female representation in industries where men often get centre stage. In honour of International Women’s Day on Thursday March 8, we’ve decided to highlight five amazing Queensland ladies who are absolutely killing it in their respective fields. Ladies, we salute you! more

Fire up the popcorn, dip those choc-tops and fill up that large frozen coke – 2018 is shaping up to be a banner year for cinema. We’ve already marked several dates on our calendar for the most anticipated films, which include charming animated adventures, empowering heist flicks, superhero blockbusters and irreverent alternative history comedies. We’re already imagining ourselves ensconced in the shrouded cinema with snacks in hand and oh-so-ready to be transported away. more

Two things that haven't changed though is the chilled vibe and commitment to quality. more
Us Queensland folk are generally very active – whether we're out there exercising, swimming at the beach or wading in a kiddie pool sipping spritzers, we like to spend a fair chunk of our time outdoors. Wearing sunscreen has been a routine drilled into us since we were all little tackers, but have you ever wondered about those big words that make up the ingredients list on your trusty tube of suncream? Well, Chris Matthews did ... and so begins the story of natural sunscreen brand Little Urchin. more
Levi's etched its place in fashion history when it first invented the blue denim jean back in the late 1800s. Right now, it's etching a place in our hearts with the release of the Levi's 2018 Pride Collection. What's even better is that the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow (aka the proceeds) are all going back into benefitting LGBTQ communities. This has us bursting with joy and we can't wait to rock this denim with pride. more
Simplicity is a really tricky thing to nail, especially when it comes to fashion. If something is too pared back it becomes bland, but if the designers refuse to edit and refine it can all become a mess. One name that has always been a go-to for the perfect balance is Assembly Label, the Sydney staple that has been dressing us in its covetable threads since 2007. If you love yourself some minimalism, you will be pleased to note that Assembly Label has dropped a killer unisex range of sunglasses – and yes, it’s just as chic as you would expect. more

It's a wild world we live in. We're in an era where unsustainable mass production is all around us – and it's hard to avoid.
