Tony and I will be able to run it ourselves and be better informed as to what you guys want in the shop. It's all about consolidation- or is it... Keep posted for the Cott closing down sale- it will be a ripper.

Hi guys, heaps of new stock in store- Nique mens T-shirts and a new label that i can't quite remember- it's funny though and worth a look. We have 1000's of pairs of mens urbanolgy shorts. Tomorrow night Fremantle power-rock group The Fags are modelling bypola T-shirts for swing tags and promo material. The launch date- although not officially set is drawing near. I guess you just have to take my word for it. The Fags are playing at the Hyde Park on Sunday. Scottie from long mac next door in freo is playing at the
leederville tonight. We will be there- fantastic band.

I have never got excited about belts before... not a big fan of leather. However, just arrived yesterday from the leafy hills of Adelaide, Libertine belts. They are truly beautiful. Little birds and trees etched into the leather, wide dress belts, great unisex belts for jeans etc and groovy buckles. I can't believe I am saying this but these belts are poetic. I'll get some images in the changeroom as soon as possible so you get what I mean and don't think I'm a complete lunatic.
Monday 8th June
Lick has just unveiled it's third window installation. Sugar.....(oh honey, honey) by Louise Elscot. Have a look in the art gallery and make a comment. Beautiful sculpture made entirely from sugar cubes. Louise has set up a gold coin competition where you guess the number of sugar cubes(over 6000) and at the end of the month the winner will take home the sculpture. Very, very generous.
In the next few weeks, Lick will be playing it's own custom made music by local artists Nicki Jones and Shaun Salmon. Yes- made especially for the shop.
Stock wise- 50's styled cropped jackets for women by Sunny Girl, shimmering Azuki party frocks and Lee Jeans for guys . Local designers continue to dazzle with beautiful dresses by Stiff. Support local designers- come on.
We are nearing the end of this financial year- keep posted for sale stuff.
Wednesday 3rd of June
Thankyou to the gorgous girl (Sharon) who fell at my feet and worshiped-I hadn't meant it literally. Sharon was rewarded with a key ring. Thanks again.
Tuesday 2nd of June.
OK guys, the sale is over and went beautfully. I'm shutting up shop and retiring. Well maybe not... but it was great. Now the shops have been emptied we are filling up again with new stock. Just in Azuki party frocks, great retro inspired cord mini skirts and sundry from Ladakh, Mink Pink party frocks, sexy minis and little sailor dresses, and finally some Motel floral hot off the block.
Not many came in and said the magic words during the sale, so only a few made further savings from the fabulously generous offer written up in the stock room diary. In future keep tuned and make these offers work for you. Every few weeks we will write up something really silly for you to do in the shop and then you will be rewarded with some great retail shopping therapy discounts. Nothing too ridiculous, I mean what is ridiclous about being asked to fall at the feet of Annette and worship? Really?
Sunday 25th May
I'm painting the window at Cott tody... get ready to shop. To those of you who I have been encouraging to get on to the site, I hope you are reading this and will be the first to say, "shopping at Lick is a memorable experience.". Cheers.

Lick is having a sale from Monday the 25th of May to Sunday 31st of May. Buy one garment and get the second garment at half price. Conditions will apply- for example the second garment must cost less.
The general public will not know until Monday and so if you are reading this then you are in the loop and can plan ahead.

The shops are busting at the seams at the moment with new stock from Ladakh, Mink Pink, Evil Twin, Staple and groovy Minty Meets Munt. A delivery of new Melissa shoes, including Vivian Westwood designs arrived today. Everything will be included in the sale so don't miss out!
It's been a busy week in Lick unpacking boxes. New to Lick include Mink pink affiliated labels Evil Twin and Staple. Evil Twin is edgier than mink pink. Lots of snake skin and spider web inspired minis, bodies and dresses. Staple is just what it suggests, staples for every girls wardrobe. Very reasonably priced. Big floppy t-shirts and flowing pants in solid colours. From Urbanology for guys a whole lot of T-shirts with great, interesting and sometimes provocative graphics. At polar ends to these t-shirts are windcheaters and T-shirts for women from Just Add sugar- beautiful appliqued owls, birds and other cute things, available in Cott and Freo. Lick has a combination of leggings from a range of labels. Worth a look at. Ladakh and Sunny girl have their usual range of exciting new designs at affordable prices. Hope to see you soon. Make sure you check out the new window installation- should be up on the site in the next couple days. Make a comment. Just in- great new Sunny girls dresses, very retro, groovy and party perfect. Check out the changeroom gallery. The coloured dress is $69.95 and the striped dress only $59.95. Available in both shops.
Hi guys- Lick has two new Brazillian styled jewellery lines. Marzio Fiorini, made in Brazil, are mandala inspired recylcled rubber designs. Very bold and funky, they would compliment any of the 60's inspired retro gear in store at the moment.
Danni designs , from Brazillian designer Danni, now living in Perth, are floral, feminine and pretty. They are individually styled so that they can be worn as head bands, necklaces, bracelets or belts.
Lick favourites Ladakh, Sunny Girl, Mink Pink and Living Doll are regularly restocked. It is a good idea to pop in and check out what's new.
At the moment we have heaps of Living Doll leggings, footless tights, tights and long socks. Wet look leggings will arrive next week.
Also in store now, lots of Sunny Girl body suits in black, black lace and black lace against a nude body.
Paul Frank has a great new line of retro inspired floral tops- in Fremantle only.
Pop in and see the new Mink pink black shaggy vests and IDS cream shaggy vests. Perfect for this in-between weather. Wear them now with aT-shirt or later with long sleeves. Very, very groovy.
New Rider, Wrangler and Lee jeans have started arriving- the ranges are small however so you have to be quick.
The Fremantle Festival is going off outside, if you make it down here pop in and say hello.
Thanks to all those people who have commented on the art installation. On a personal level I find the work utterly breath taking. I like glimpsing it throughout the day while I am working.
Happy birthday to Grace who turned 18 last week. Great work.
Hope you all have a fabulous long weekend- mine started off with a real bang.x
