Last week I was super busy and I neglected to write my usual Sunday best of post. I hoped nobody would notice but Greg Natale (of all people!) did, so I thought I’d better up my game this weekend, busy or not (busy, if you’re asking, but what’s new?). On Tuesday I went to the […]
It was one packed out party at Simmer on the Bay in Sydney’s Dawes Point for the launch of fashion designer Akira Isogawa’s third collaboration with Designer Rugs, Hirameki.

Affordable art to bring a little sparkle
I like sharing unique affordable art (if everyone had the same Ikea canvases it would be a very sad world) as much as I do supporting fellow bloggers, so I need you to know about Anna White’s new Crystal Love series. She’s the blogger behind Lona de Anna and the artist behind some great prints […]
Her throws are beautiful, SERIOUSLY chunky and texture-full works of art. “I love a bit of sensory feedback,” says extreme knitter Jacqui Fink of Little Dandelion. “Always have.” Made from the finest, locally sourced wool and linen, these mega throws and blankets weigh up to 15 kilos and are really something else. But it is […]
Interior designer Stephanie Margaritidis draws inspiration from her environment for the steph & gaia homewares collection, in which she tries to create a story.

It seems a no-brainer to me. Loni Parker, the Queensland-based founder of online magazine Adore Home, is launching an online store to complement it.

When I first saw Georgia Ezra’s perspex, customisable furniture, I fell in love with it immediately and had to find out more. Little did I know the young designer behind the CAJA brand would also turn out to be a trapeze artist! Seriously cool, no? Georgia, 25, studied at UNSW and graduated with a Bachelor […]
If you ask me, it’s a good enough reason to leave Sydney for the weekend and I’m seriously considering it! There’s 20% off everything at artist Lisa Madigan’s gorgeous shop The Store, in Berry, NSW.
