We have been really lucky thus far to have been blessed with such amazing support. We would like to thank everyone who has helped spread the word about our fantastic cause – The Timor-Leste Youth Livelihood Programme in conjunction with the Oaktree Foundation.
Swap ‘Til You Drop is an idea we developed as part of the Oaktree Foundation Generate Volunteer Program. Oaktree is an amazing, entirely youth-run organisation which is working to empower developing communities through education. It has provided us with the skills and confidence to branch out (pun not intended) and really push ourselves to help create lasting change in the lives of the disadvantaged. We have met some fantastic people who are passionate about raising community awareness and fundraising for great causes, and whom have played a huge role in the planning and promoting of Swap ‘Til You Drop – especially Mel and Lewis.
If you are interested in getting involved in making a difference, and have something amazing to offer the world around you, you should definitely consider getting involved with any of the Oaktree initiatives!
Why not organise or participate in a Barefoot Party this month too? To find out how you can get involved, check out the website and/or Twitter page.
The lavish lounges, beautiful Baroque wall, and friendly staff are just a few of the things that really set apart Crown Hotel as the perfect venue for our swap party and other special occasions! They have been so incredibly supportive of our cause, that we don’t know where we’d be – literally – without them.
Be sure to support our buds at fbi radio! Become a supporter today, and help keep the best new music and emerging sounds from Sydney, Australia and overseas, on air!
Tune in to 94.5 FM between 6-9am on Tuesday for our little shout-out. We would like to specially thank the lovely producer of the morning show on Tuesdays, Deelini Wettasinghe for her support!
It’s not every week that you get featured in 9 to 5 next to the Empire of the Sun guys! Pick up your copy every Monday to find out what’s on and what’s buzzing in Sydney. Don’t fret if you’ve accidentally missed the alarm, or hit the snooze button one too many times – you can catch up via a digital copy online.
Check out the City of Sydney website to find What’s On in Sydney! They do a fantastic job of keeping everyone in the loop with everything that’s happening, and we are really flattered to be featured on it.
If you are excited by the idea of finding something lovely to wear at Swap 'til You Drop, you will absolutely love the e-magazine MyLookBook!
The trendy girls at MyLookBook do a fantastic job of showcasing everything you love about fashion – beauty, trends, designers, awesome finds, and let’s face it, what other people are wearing. It is compiled by amazing designers & boutiques, with each image linking directly to their website or online store – that look you like is just one click away. The lovely Krista, who has been a great supporter of our cause and event, also updates the MyLookBook blog with great looks and finds.
Found something amazing from the Swap Party, but not quite sure how to wear it? MyLookBook will provide you with plenty of ideas and inspirations to create a look you will love. Looking stylish is as easy as sitting back and relaxing.
We were really stoked to be noticed by one of our fave Aussie blogs, Girl With a Satchel. We love Erica Bartle’s propensity for entwining interesting insights & credible critiques of magazines, with glimpses of glossies, covetable fashion, beauty, and all things pretty (and guiltily girly) in life… GWAS definitely makes for a compelling daily read!
For the latest in fashion, beauty and living, and for some fantastic shopping tips and trends, look no further than Shop Til You Drop! Check their newsletter for constant updates of bargains and events – including our Swap Party ;)
UTS Vertigo is a really cool website that isn’t just for UTS students – check it out for interesting interviews, reviews, events, and don’t miss out on the competitions!
Our friends at Grapeshot run the Macquarie Uni tri-weekly magazine, providing info, entertainment, and opportunities for all students to get engaged. Feel free to check out their neat blog!
Creativity. Activism. Careers. Fashion. Travel. Thoughts. Feelings. Confusion. Celebrations. Lip magazine gives perspective on these real issues through writing, art, fashion, photography and vision of their contributors, in a way that will make you laugh, make you cry, and give you something to think about.
With style to boot, My Style Australia is definitely a blog and website to keep an eye out for!

This is just a preview of what’s to come! We are still working on making this swap party the best it can be. In the meantime, if you have Facebook, please rsvp to our event, to provide us with a rough number of guests to expect.
We hope you’re looking forward to the swap party too!
Amritha, Anna, Felicity, Monique x
