  • Love accessorising with - Jungletribe Coutre

     
    VOTE
    If you like your apples with a bit of BAM, then according to the creator of this Bam Black Clutch Purse, it's got a whole lot of wa bam bam BAM. We can't get enough of this super hot Etsy store and their product write-ups. This clutch is a Summer must and check out the Jungle Storm bag - it's a travel knockout.
  • Love accessorising with - Thomas Seymour

     
    VOTE
    We can't get enough of super talented designers from Melbourne - and it seems that Thomas Seymour and his (soon to be) wife Laura are no exception. They design and manufacture amazing jewellery, furniture, and lighting, right here in Australia. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind. It's Thomas love.
  • Love eating - Mueslimixer

     
    VOTE
    When a LoveBento fan introduced us to Mueslimixer we instantly fell in love with this innovative Melbourne business. Created by a couple with a German background, Mueslimixer has got everyone customising their breakfasts. Jump on their website and you can create and order your very own custom blend of muesli. There's a kid's mix and even a runners mix. We can't get enough.
  • Love looking gorgeous with - Ciate Nail Varnish

     
    VOTE
    It's all about nail colour this season and lot's of it. UK brand Ciate Nail Varnish is the vision of Charlotte Straughan & every colour is amazing. The brand has a big following including Victoria Beckham who's claimed to wear our fav, Cookies & Cream. We love this shade, as well as Vintage & Sugared Almonds. Lovely.

  • Love eating out at - Tassal Salmon Shop

     
    VOTE
    We can't tell you how great our obsession for Tassal Salmon is. This week Tassal has launched it's very own Salmon Shop in Melbourne's Kew. In the heart of the store is the Siemens Cooking Studio, where you can watch as guest chef’s show you how to cook amazing recipes with salmon. To celebrate their opening, this weekend they are hosting free Tassal Tasmanian salmon cooking master classes. Love.
  • Love looking good in - Miiska Vintage

     
    VOTE
    Right now, more than ever, it seems that everyone's all about Vintage. Over the last year we've featured many Vintage experts in Melbourne and Miishka is another one of the top stores on our list. With the motto: Clothes are an expression of who we are and how we feel, Miishka serves up beautiful one of pieces that feel like rarities.
  • Love shopping at - Big Cartel

     
    VOTE
    Big Cartel is a naughty lunchtime distraction. From your desk you can browse thousands of online stores that give you direct access to artists, crafters, bands and designers and have them all delivered directly to your home. It is proving to be our 3pm pick-me-up.
  • Love visiting - BRDD PRVRTS

     
    VOTE
    It's called BRDD PRVRTS aka bearded perverts and it's a super hot comprehensive music & beard blog for those that really know good music. What else do you want to visit but a music and beard blog for those that listen to music and have an interest in facial hair? We can't think of a better place.

  • Love watching - Insane Ramblings

     
    VOTE
    Some people have said "Insane Ramblings is the funniest podcast ever". We know one thing for sure - it's fast becoming a massive hit around town. Created by talented Melbournites, Ben & Viki know our days could all be better filled by learning the proper etiquette of sending an SMS, hearing about the plight of the 'assless chaps', or just listening to an informative and witty discussion on the short lived nineties musical drama Cop Rock. Love.
  • Love our environment with - Keep Cup

     
    VOTE
    Talented brother and sister Abigail and Jamie Forsyth are the brains behind our favourite Keep Cup. Made In Melbourne, Abigail and Jamie created the most loveable design for a re-usable cup that you'll be proud to carry around, while saving the environment of course. You can also mix and match your colour combinations to make your Keep Cup - yours.
  • Love reading - Oh my god what happened and what should I do

     
    VOTE
    We love this new book Oh My God What Happened and What Should I Do. It talks to our time of change - a change during which a whole generation is growing up with an entirely new media behavior. With it's free download for a tweet, it's no wonder it's the talk of Melbourne right now.
  • Love looking good in - Extinct

     
    VOTE
    Melbourne loves local fashion label Extinct and with good reason. Their jeans are a must-have around town and they've just introduced some really hot new cuts. But most importantly their cult Burgundy Jeans have been re-cut on special request by Melbourne fans. Be fast though -they've only cut a small number so make sure you get in quick. Love.

  • Love eating - Belgian Waffles

     
    VOTE
    We have walked past this waffle nook for years now and, on many occasions, indulged our sweet tooth. Crispy on the outside, springy on the inside and cooked to perfection, these waffles are the talk of Melbourne-town. And what makes them all the more addictive? The morning $5 deal of a coffee and lightly sugared waffle... delicious!
  • Love shopping at - Secret Squirrel Clothing

     
    VOTE
    This autumn season from Secret Squirrel is inspired by the Beatles. With classic pieces in cutting edge prints there is not one item in their collection that isn't on our shopping list. A Lovebento label to watch. Love it!
  • Love art by - Almond Tree Frames

     
    VOTE
    Almond Tree Frames are gorgeous. A local Melbourne family business that focuses on beautiful handcrafted items, we can't get enough. Each piece is a limited edition and custom framed - and while we love them all it's the butterfly pieces that are on our wish list!
  • Love eating out at - Captains of Industry

     
    VOTE
    Where in Melbourne can you find a barber, a cobbler, a tailor and a cafe all in the one place? Why, Captains of Industry of course. Lovebento-ites can't keep away from the distinctly vintage vibes that fill the air of this 1st floor one-stop-shop for men's maintenance. Go for a suit, custom shoes and a haircut, stay for the delicious food and coffee.
