In our house Sundays are truly as easy as a Sunday morning.

Given our unusual work schedules, we try to reserve the day for relaxing, catching up and basically doing our best impersonations of lizards who graze all day.

Just bliss.

While the word Sunday can strike fear in many with its close proximity to Monday, it’s a word that is celebrated in this household. Another reason I love the word so much is its connection to my new found obsession – Sunday Social.

This is a quirky and very cool boutique found at Winn Lane in Fortitude Valley. Step down a side street off Ann Street, Fortitude Valley and you will discover Winn Street Laneway.

The shop has been open for four-and-a-half years now and is the brain child of funkster Jessica Barty, who adores mixing new pieces with clothing from the 70s.

The laneway shop boasts a mix of local finds, their own designs, lots of vintage and very cool new treasures from the USA and Japan.

A visit to Sunday Social is a must and is surrounded by some cool places, such as a coffee shop, burger joint, hair salon, recording studio, boutiques and working spaces in Winn Lane, which in itself is becoming a creative pocket in Brisbane’s inner city.

Hidden behind historic Shannon’s building which houses the iconic Zoo live music venue, this small laneway is a hive of activity for Brisbane’s creative types and those seeking something different

And word is due to the success of this place, the team behind Sunday Social are going to be popping up in Melbourne early next year.

Make sure you check out their website – but be warned they have way too much stuff to put up online, so do make the time to visit the actual shop and rummage through their treasure trove of goodies.
