I bought these crystals on a recent trip to the Melbourne Museum. They were an unlikely find in that I didn't expect to happen upon them in the gift shop, but none the less they stood out as soon as I spied them and for $6 a piece they were too good to pass up.
When I started to think about where I was going to do my Christmas shopping I wondered if I could do it all by shopping with Australian and independent businesses.
For those of you who aren't in the know, Shopbop.com is an online shopping mecca that stocks labels like Helmut Lang, Jeffrey Campbell, Tibi and J Brand to name just a fraction.
