Hang onto your pussy-bows Frock-Voxers. In the service of brevity and speed (so rare in the longform-loving Voxoffice!), we banged out this no-frills six-pack of frocky love and Cheesey social bits in no more time than it takes for a wee-and-lippy-touch-up-break. Just for you. Everything worth knowing in a neat, three-minute skimset that won’t tax your Fridayfizzvibe; ok? (Don’t mention it.)
CHEESE! POP
(Photographs, including main picture, top: Karon Photography)
Melbourne cult brand LXE launched its second collection, C:2 in a four-day pop-up this week with bubbles and a brace of gorgeous notables: Sophie Monk, Michala Banas and Antony Callea among them. Now it’s your turn to flick through the LXE racks of simple, ethically sound, lightly tailored mo-derne separates and dresses. Best be quick, but. The pop goes off after closing Sunday. LXE, L1 Studios, Level 1, 377 Little Bourke St, Melbourne (enter via Racing Club lane), Open Friday 11am. to 7pm then Saturday and Sunday 11am to 5pm. www.lxe.com.au
ISABEL IS CHEAP
Our hands-down fave brand outside of our catalogue of hands-down fave Australian brands, the perfectly Parisienne Isabel Marant, is on sale at Parlour X. Just saying. www.parlourx.com.au

LOVE KARA
Kara Baker. Love her, love her ladylike aesthetic with its ping of vintage, love the lavish, swishable (swish swish) smock dress modelled by Karamate, Virginia Dowzer around the middle of this video of her most recent salon. (That is all.) www.karabaker.com
SUNSPECS
And these. Love these. Bondi Beach brand Local Supply’s simple-bordering-on-utilitarian sunglasses for their thick colour, nothin-fancy-here winter collection frames for boys/girls/whatever. Love ’em.

i-D PLEASE
The iconic magazine is 35, a birthday marked this week with a harvest of guess-how-many former covergirls and coverboys for a celebration edition as well as an unmissable muster of the hottest names in arts, fashion and film. www.i-d.vice.com
LUSCIOUS TRINKETS
And, lastly but no less lusciously, Melbourne jewellery designer Angela Clark’s latest collection of loveable wearables was also launched this week in a new boutique at 105 Scotchmer Street, North Fitzroy by (we’re impressed) the delightful delovely Kate Cerberano. www.angelaclarkboutique.com
