We had a wonderful time in Melbourne, and somewhere between hijinks with Fritz Herbert the daschund puppy and $4 pizzas at Bimbo Deluxe, we found time for some shopping! Among my favourite finds were these impressive lightshades by designer Alex Earl. Both the "Lionfish Lightshade" (pictured above) and the "Butterfly Lightshade" (pictured below) are currently in the window of Wilkins & Kent, 230 Brunswick St, Fitzroy. The Butterfly Lightshade retails for AUD $275, while the Lionfish Lightshade is available in two sizes - small for AUD $185, large for AUD $285.
