Home Tour X Summer Swim X Georgia Jay

Another week down, another week closer to Christmas. Always tell myself each year that I am going to get onto Christmas presents early, yet to be done! Brothers, sisters and the inlaws, what do you buy for them? I try and get them something as a couple, all the same. Perhaps something foodie. Any suggestions of great things you have seen around this year for the siblings?









The green obsession still seems to continue. Not sure, why or what it is. Just a fresher take on the natural home, I guess. The incredible kitchen in this Australian home designed by owners Tanya McKenna and Peter Chadwick along with Tanyas architect sister Carla Karsakis of Etica Studio is what caught my eye today. Im loving square tiling details at the moment and the grating up that stairway! How cool is it? And different. Thank you to The Design Files for introducing me. 



Although over the past two weeks the fitness has gone out the door somewhat, over the period of this year, I have actually toned up quite a bit all thanks to the awesome boxing and bootcamps in town that I head along to when I find the time and the encouraging words from the trainer on healthy living. So yes, I have been eyeing up togs for the summer. I am loving this brand, Solid and Striped. They have a fun and striking collection with lots to choose from.




Can we please just take a moment to appreciate these amazing Georgia Jay bags from Tessuti. The craftsmanship is insane and the style is classic and timeless with a touch of edginess to it.

Home Tour X Tiny Dots X Papu Clothing

Im back! Our computer was couriered away to be fixed. Took over a month and low behold, they cant fix it. Its fair to say we rely on computers a lot. I struggled to get blog work and school work completed on my phone. I suppose it was good to have the break. Over that time, we've had school holidays, a big 5 year old birthday, Frankie starting school, myself starting a new job at her school, also and we had a magazine come and photograph our home last week. Its been all go and Im struggling to catch a breath. Life huh! Anywho, massive apologies for the lack of posting and communication. I will make it all up to you, and drop me a line if you are wanting to touch base with me. I am here and ready now!  









This house, situated in Sydneys Paddington suburb, catches my eye in so many different ways. However, the major selling point for me is the central garden courtyard and the huge bi fold doors that open out onto it. Each of the living areas open up onto this inner city courtyard garden. The fact that architects Aileen Sage have blocked out the hustle and bustle of the outside world to create this beautiful oasis is a massive thumbs up. City living at its best. 





I am a sucker for beautiful fabrics. Always have been. Having a daughter is a good excuse to stock up on pretty materials. I put them away with the intention of creating something one day. Usually Frankie finds them and ends up making blankets for her dolls.  Good looking blankets might I add.  I was stoked when I recently discovered the work of artist, Maggie Lam of Tiny Dots. Maggies designs contain timeless, classical patterns with a bit of whimsy in a range of gorgeous colours and all fair trade and ethically made.  Pop over and check out Tiny Dots here. 





I am loving Scandinavian kids clothing brand, Papu, now available in New Zealand from Scandinavian Clothing Co. Full of beautiful colours and quirky designs, Papu combines creativity, fun and functionality. And super comfortable might I add. That's a must for my children being the busy little bodies that they are. Frankie and Patch give this brand their tick! Scandinavian Clothing Co also stock some other very cool Scandi brands. Loving the fact that we don't miss out on these cutting edge designs. Happy shopping.
