  • Love feeling good with - The Love Cushion and LoveBento 2010

     
    VOTE

    HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our LoveBento followers and thank you for all your love and support in 2009. We've officially named 2010 the year of love! And it's big love, with heaps of exciting additions coming to our website, plus exclusive goodies for subscribers from Melbourne's hottest young designers. We think there's no better way to start feeling the love than with this Melbourne made and designed Love Cushion, from Revision Design Australia.

  • Love eating - Breakfast at Gluttony

     
    VOTE

    It's 2010 and summer's in full swing, which means late hot nights out on the town. The perfect medicine the morning after? Breakfast at Gluttony of course. Gluttony dishes up the biggest breakfast in town and at incredibly reasonable prices - with great vegie options too. A well-loved hangover cure amongst Collingwood locals.

  • Love eating out at - Babka

     
    VOTE

    This urban bakery glues together the Brunswick St community with its gorgeous coffee, breakfast, lunch and amazing baked goodies. A rotating lunch menu means it never gets old, but get in early to ensure you get a seat. We especially love their almond croissants. Super yum.

  • Love accessorising with - Georgie Love

     
    VOTE
    Georgie Love is one of our favourite online shops selling handmade items from independent and emerging Australian artists. Here you'll find gorgeous things that you won't find in stores. And they love all things produced ethically and locally - especially Melbourne. Look out for the latest from LoveBento featured artist Madz has Runaway.

Love Xmas. Love Shopping Online

  • Love shopping at - Paper and Ribbons

     
    VOTE

    We love this super cute Melbourne Etsy store! With the perfect gifts for Christmas, Paper and Ribbons has handmade Christmas cards adorned with beautiful grossgrain ribbons. And if you're looking for a gift that will really stand out, the lockets are a must. We especially love the Key to your Heart and Cutesie lockets.

  • Love our environment with - Baggu Bags

     
    VOTE

    The perfect eco-friendly Xmas gift. These stylish bags do the same job as a plastic grocery bag without harming the environment. And the best bit - they've got style, so you'll actually want to be seen carrying one around Melbourne. Using one Baggu for 1 year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags. Perfect stocking stuffers.

  • Love shopping at - Labels and Love

     
    VOTE

    All the way from Hollywood to Melbourne, the Labels and Love online shop is a haven of selected celebrity must-haves. Hard to find items can often be discovered here like Matt Bernson sandals and Tracy Zychs totes. For that extra exclusive Xmas gift, Melbournites in the know shop here.

  • Love shopping at - Threadless & Griffin

     
    VOTE

    Melbournites love the Threadless online store. Right now there's hundreds of Threadless t-shirts making their way to Melbourne for Xmas. So we're really excited that Threadless has teamed up with Griffin to create iPhone covers. It's original Threadless art on an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G cover. Love.

  • Love looking gorgeous with - Moroccanoil

     
    VOTE

    Ok, want to know a hair secret? Next time you see someone with gorgeous glowing hair on a hot, dry Melbourne summer's day it's most likely Moroccanoil. Just a few drops of the original Moroccanoil on your hair and it's instant love. We're addicted and so are the stars.

  • Love sales at - Trimapee Spanish Fiesta Sale

     
    VOTE

    Melbournites love local Trimapee designs and now Santa has come early with the Trimapee Spanish Fiesta Sale in Fitzroy. Their claim to style - Like the joker from a deck of cards, Trimäpee does not conform to any suite. And now you can get your hands on Trimapee for Xmas.

  • Love visiting - Limedrop Pop-up Store

     
    VOTE

    Right up stairs at the GPO, just between Belinda and Akira, a new pop-up store has arrived. It's called Limedrop and it will only be open until January 2010. Their Spring Summer collection is a must see. And tonight at the opening you can be one of the first to check it out and enjoy a few drinks at the same time. See you there!

  • Love hanging out at - The Design Market

     
    VOTE

    The Order of Melbourne is most loved by LoveBento-ites. This weekend, in collaboration with Fazeek, they're launching an independent design market. Some of the hottest local designers will be there including Milly Sleeping, Dani M Designs and Frances-rose-is plus DJs and cocktails. Love it.

  • Love hanging out at - Craft Hatch

     
    VOTE

    It's Xmas time in Melbourne and we love shopping at Craft Hatch. The November market, on this Saturday, will feature the most loved Dawn Tan, Gemma Johnson, LabthreeOFive and more. The perfect place to find those limited edition, handmade xmas presents. A must visit this weekend.

  • Love listening to - Whitley

     
    VOTE

    LoveBento fans have been writing in, itching to for us to feature Melbourne's Whitely. Their new album Go Forth, Find Mammoth is a true stand out and has even made it to no. 27 on the ARIA chart. As local Melbournites, Whitely is definitely one to look out for. Love them.

  • Love eating out at - Amsterdam Street Cafe

     
    VOTE

    Looking for a lazy Sunday morning venue to relax with breakfast and coffee?  There are few as good as the Amsterdam Street cafe.  Gorgious fresh food and crisp coffee is just the start - it's the retro fitout of the place and the creative front that brings it all home.  Breaky or lunch, get yourself along!

  • Love a few drinks at - Manchuria

     
    VOTE

    A great place for a drink after enjoying some of the delicious food in China Town is Manchuria. Sporting a contemporary chinese decore, this largely undiscovered bar is all about killer cocktails - and there are plenty of them to choose from. Martinis are great but if you're after something stronger try the Zombie. You can't go past this first level beauty.
