Byron Bay is right up there on my ‘must visit’ list. So you can only imagine when I saw the incredible renovation of Rae’s on Wategos. Managing Director, Jordy Catalano, said the resort hadn’t been renovated since its original owners, so it was time to take the resort ‘to the next level’. As Byron Bay continues …
Prahran has no shortage of amazing spaces, but this wellness centre sets the bar very high. The Sum of Us incorporates yoga, Pilates, treatments – such as physiotherapy and podiatry – AND a cafe (which is a combination of all of my favourite things!), and is all about health in mind, body and life. Behind …

We bring extra luxury and indulgence to our homes over this period as we add warmth and comfort. Take a read of the five biggest trends …
There is no denying that I am a big fan of the strong, masculine, and very sensual aesthetic that is Zuster. I covered the Australian furniture brand’s Embellish range back in April. So, fast forward to June, seeing these pieces ‘in real life’ was quite the treat, and made possible thanks to the incredible design show that …
Back in the day, we wouldn’t dream of using LED lighting as a feature in our homes, let alone as chandelier style pieces. Well that has all changed and I’m calling it: 2017 is the year of the statement LED! Traditionally, LED lighting wasn’t something we’d associate with high end, designer living. But that’s exactly …
When one of the photos from this NSW property popped up in my Pinterest feed, I was compelled to click through and see more. Ohh the soft, ooh the furniture choices, ooh those views! This Clovelly home oozes sophistication and restraint. It is bathed in a colour palette of blues, whites, creams and greys, and paired …
When interiors, brand and photography meet at the top of their game, the result is something special. One such is The Penny Drop in Box Hill. This cafe sits at the base of the newly refurbished Australian Tax Office building and its name plays on the concept of the ‘penny dropping’ from the pockets of the …
It’s a space I came across almost a year ago and it has remained one of my favourite office spaces since. The white walls dressed with art, the stunning floral arrangements paired with stacks of fashion coffee-table books and the refined but covetable furniture… I’m talking about PR agency AWPR’s Sydney office. Located in Surry Hills, the …
Is there anything better than escaping for a few days to a place of luxury, relaxation and indulgence? It’s hard to beat right? Well when I first laid eyes on this beautiful retreat and spa in the Margaret River Wine Region, Western Australia moved quickly up the ranks in my ‘must visit very soon’ list! I’m talking …
Everything Australian furniture design house Zuster does oozes sophistication and its new collection – Embellish – does this and more, with added elements of exquisite adornment. With a sexy, grown up edge, the release captures the essence of hotel living at its finest. It is Zuster’s first dedicated hospitality furniture range, and the pieces take their cue from high end fashion runways. …
As you all know, finding out the story behind the business is one of my favourite things. I came across Mornington Peninsula-based Kate Walker (of ‘Kate Walker Design’) just recently and – like I think of all working mums out there – I just don’t know how she does it!! With a couple of kids in tow, …
When an online store goes ‘bricks and mortar’ it’s always exciting, but when it’s a fashion label full of boho luxe prints and fabrics, it’s something else! Spell & The Gypsy Collective was created by Aussie sister duo Isabella Pennefather (who was called Spell when she was young) and Elizabeth Abegg. Featuring floral prints and floaty fabrics inspired …

I love a good story about how a product came to be, and childhood friends George Wilkins and William McCallum of George and Willy certainly have that. Stumbling upon an old roll of butcher’s paper while rummaging through one of their granddad’s boat sheds, the pair created a simple wall bracket to hold and dispense the …

Scandinavian design is the new ‘timeless’. Its clean lines and wooden statement pieces paired with plenty of white really make any room sing with character and style. I recently found a hub with more than 300 pieces of gorgeous Scandinavian style furniture pieces. It is ‘Icon by Design‘ and it is a company started by …
Have you ever noticed that the shape, size and – importantly – the dressings of windows completely change the mood of a room? There has long been research pointing to the impact that natural light has on our productivity and mental health. Even without that research, I’m sure you know what I mean when I …

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE a bit of Scandi; those simple lines, gorgeous light-toned timbers and plenty of white. When we think of Scandinavian homes, we think of high quality craftsmanship, pared back styling, a focus on natural light and muted tones. Luckily it’s actually one of the easier styles to create in our …

There’s nothing better than coming across a brand that is unapologetically itself. No cookie cutter shapes, designs or colours. In a world where designers seem to be getting their works duplicated constantly and so many stores look the same, it’s a real treat to find a brand with a strong identity: I’m talking about Weylandts. Founded …
