Probably one of the most cutest things we've stumbled across, this is one touchy feely little bunny that goes everywhere, inside and out. And there's more. When you visit our most loved Garden Life in Sydney, they have hot accessories including our fav. golden naughty gnomes.

We just love Friends of Leon Gallery. And right now they are presenting the amazing Swedish artist Anneli Olander. This exclusive exhibition is being held in Surry Hills just for Australian Fashion Week. Annelli is listed as one of the top 100 illustrators in the world. We love her style - a must-see for everyone in Sydney this month.

It's called the Melbourne Fashion Directory and it's becoming the fashion bible for those who like to stay in the know, as it comprises the fashion 'hit' list. One high-profile LoveBento fan told us how it's her secret weapon, keeping her connected to the fashion and production industry. Available at Mag Nation and select boutiques.

We love the ever-so-stylish 3rd year RMIT fashion student Kate Lancaster, who has just completed an 8 week internship with Alice Euphemia. When she showed us the gorgeous leather clutches she created, we instantly fell in love. Available in 3 colours with clip on ’tails’, these clutches are a must this Autumn.

We love Maryanne and her cute Facebook vintage shop. She left her day job to realise her dreams and we're super glad she did. Maryanne told us how much she loved the way that wearing vintage helped link to the untold stories of previous owners and bring back long lost memories. You'll want to check out the treasures she has online now. Love.

We love Chrissy Lau, the talent behind Decipher the Day. She's from Yorkshire, England but now lives & draws in Sydney, Australia. Her gorgeous illustrations have been featured on Gary Pepper Vintage (which we previously featured) & stationary. There's always little treats in each design like the snow globe of the Sydney Opera House. Love.

We simply love the design of this new water bottle from Australian owned business Add Water. They source their water from the NSW Southern Coast. But what you'll love even more is how they make their bottles from plants, not oils - making them 100% renewable. It's our hip-pocket favourite and one bottle that really makes a statement at the gym...trust us.

Imandeco make these hot colourful chairs. They’re durable, light-weight and simply gorgeous. Plus they’re great for both indoors and out, and super easy to move around. We love that the designer used to work for Louis Vuitton, the patterns on the chairs are so bold and bright. A must have summer balcony accessory.

We're all guilty of carrying our shopping home in plastic bags from time-to-time. It's sad but true, sometimes a bit of impromptu shopping can ruin all plans to take the green bag out to the store. The Red Button Project is changing this, by teaching people how to make D.I.Y bags out of things like cardigans and scarves, that you're more likely to have with you when you spot something you didn't know you needed at the shops. We love the idea!

We love the Frankie Sunshine online store. It's creator - Kate lives in Newcastle, NSW and is a big lover of young designers. Her motto - I want people to be able to shop with a smile on their face. So she created an online store so with great labels like This is Genevieve, Sumakhi, Totem, Fair Ground, Style Stalker, Finders Keepers, Cameo and more.

There's so much fun in reminiscing about those films we all used to watch as kids. That's why we can't wait to check out the Dreams Come True exhibition at ACMI. It's a chance to check out all of the behind-the-scenes sketches, models and art from some of Disney's most loved movies!

We love browsing for gifts (for ourselves as well as others) at Orlando and Ivy. It's a little shop on Victoria Street, North Melbourne, with a big selection of awesome and creative giftware, books, stationery, knick-knacks for the house and lots more. We love them because on cold days they even give you a cup of fresh, fruity tea to sip on while you try to restrain yourself from buying everything in the shop.

The talented Shikha from Sydney had an obsession with vintage clothing for a long time, so as little as five months ago she launched the gorgeous online eBay store Red Mera Vintage. We think it's the perfect online store to visit for Christmas presents - even if they are for yourself! Love.

Matt Blackwood is an Australian writer, filmmaker and teacher who's been given, non-other than a City of Melbourne Laneway Commission to create MyStory. It's a free locative storytelling project where you experience short stories in the places they are set. We especially love the mobile app with narrated audio and text. Love this.

We are completely in love with Perth artist Alexandra Lekias. Her next exhibition at Sydney's Friends of Leon Gallery is set to be bigger than ever. With black and white illustrations, oozing with water colour, Alexandra explores her childhood and pop culture with super- style. See you there!

Ok they look like Bento Boxes so we had to feature them. When a LoveBento fan told us about Harvest Box we instantly fell in love. Healthy snacks delivered to your desk during the week - who couldn't fall head over heals for this innovative Australian business. Plus snacking (healthily) is proven to boost your metabolism. They deliver all over Australia -summer it up.

Yep, we know LoveBento-ites are all big kids at heart and so that explains why we're so obsessed with Makedo. This very hip Aussie company, make these neat little plastic connectors that allow you to turn whatever you have around the house or office into something very arty and extremely random. They're now shipping all over Australia - love.
