Trendsetters with a capital T.

Madonna, Britney and co fork out a fortune paying people to tell them what’s going to be “so hot right now” in July 2008, but really… all they need to do is hang out with the Vilain Boutique team to pick up some pointers. Let’s face it, we’ve got the zeitgeist by the scruff of the neck, according to this month’s Cleo magazine.
Remember when we posted about our new-found obsession with table tennis (scroll down if you haven’t read it yet)? Well it seems ACP’s most fashionable and celeb-savvy publication might just have this URL down in their “favourites” list. Check out what they have to say about table tennis being the next scrabble/poker/yogalates/south beach diet blah blah blah…


We’re officially extending an open invitation for Dave Grohl and the Butterscotch Stallion (a.k.a. Owen Wilson) to drop by our loft and challenge us to a game. We’ll provide the sweat bands and raisin toast for half-time snacks...
Big thanks to Bridget, our VIP from the ACT for bringing this to our attention. We love it when people read our blog and then contact us with semi-relevant celeb gossip. It makes our day.

We've got your Summer camping solutions all sewn up...

When you think of an annual event in December that involves fun and frivolity with family and friends – not to mention sunshine, eskies and deck chairs – most of us would instantly think of December 25 or the Boxing Day test. But for a music-loving chunk of the Vilain Boutique team, last weekend’s Meredith Music Festival was the main event for the month. If you haven’t heard about this festival, it’s a three-day extravaganza of top-shelf musical acts from Australia and overseas, set in a sunburnt dustbowl on a farm between Geelong and Ballarat. The heat was relentless, the dust was debilitating, but anything’s bearable with sunscreen and a stocked esky.
We’re thrilled to confirm that our products are the perfect accessories for a weekend of hot, sweaty and grubby bush bashing. A baby blue flat sheet added a touch of class to our camping area when we spread it out like a picnic rug.

Just as we anticipated, the Summer PJ sets proved to be ultimate outfit for 42 degree weather. In total, there were 12 pairs of retro running shorts at the festival site. Several Vilain friends brought out multiple pairs for the weekend. We snapped Allie, Jane and Meg on the hill on Saturday afternoon just before the Drones came onstage and ROCKED OUT big time.
