Fresh from London comes Joux Joux Le Shoe. The label celebrates girls who don't go home with their new collection of pumps, flats and these, the perfect ankle boots. The range, called 'The Walk of Shame', can only be bought in Australia at the Big Fashion Sale in Sydney, which is held from March 4-6.

Tonight, we're heading to the UTS Graduate Exhibition 'Republic of Design' in Sydney to check out the design student talent and hopefully spot the next big thing.

From what we've already seen, such as Alyssa Choat's designs shot by David Muir (pictured), it's a bumper crop of graduates.

Beautiful! Check them out yourself at:

The poverty-stricken artist is a time old cliché, but in the case of hard-partying, hard-touring band The Scare, we suspect it might just be true. Listing their pastimes as playing music, sleeping on floors, drinking gin and eating beans, the post-punk outfit is hitting the road once again to pimp their second album, Oozevoodoo on a national tour. They’re hitting up Falls Festival, Homebake and Big Day Out and are challenging their fellow countrymen to a game of pool along the way (location is Twittered, if you beat them you get free entry to that night’s gig.) Though they’re originally from the Sunshine Coast, their sound is strictly of the dark, loud and fast variety. Still, you’ve gotta love a rock band whose website includes a clip of them busting a move to “All The Single Ladies� and who aren’t afraid to don a ruffle here and there.
