I got through almost 27 years of life without breaking a bone or spraining an ankle. Until last week.

At the risk of sounding saccharinely optimistic, isn’t it amazing what you notice when you’re forced to slow down (read: cannot walk)? The light, the beauty of colour, and those small miracles of nature. Starting to limp along now, but with a refreshed view of my surroundings.

Things I {actually} Love

A couple of months ago, following the release of Megan Morton’s latest book ‘Things I Love‘, I very nearly blogged about it. But having not seen the newly published book myself, I resisted, expecting it to be yet another interiors book that leaves you feeling underwhelmed.

So why am I blogging about it now? Well, on a shoot last week, I finally got my hands on this book as it sat pile high with other titles ready for propping. Stalking this book all day and awaiting a spare moment to flick through its pages, I was amazed when I found it to be so much more than a simple coffee table book. Bursting with hands-on tips, super cute postcards, uplifting images, and just that little extra Megan Morton magic, this book will be a sure favourite on my bookshelf.

If you’re feeling at all lacklustre right now, get yours here. It will leave you with feelings of cheer and light. Promise x

Been a little MIA lately, but now you can all see what I’ve been up to! Chris and I launched our homewares and accessories business on Saturday to friends and family, which was a great success. It was so much work for one day, but all the lovely people that made the effort to come meant that it was fun-filled, positive, and inspiring. Such a relief! There is always that anxiety, when you host an event, that nobody will care to come and you’ll be left standing on your lonesome amongst food and drink aplenty. So seriously thank you for saving us the embarrassment!

Would like to especially thank Susan and Clare for lending us their yoga studio for the day (you really must check out this magical yoga studio if you haven’t already), my Dad (who seems to be eternally helping me move things from one place to another), our family for their reassurance and support, and all the friends and family who came to view, shop, and give us their feedback.

To anyone that couldn’t attend or lives afar- the online shop will launch in March.

Love xx

You’re Invited To…

Despite being months off officially launching, I am hosting a ‘soft’ launch of sage x clare this weekend to give friends and family the opportunity to view and shop a selection of our inspiring products. I know many of you lovely followers live around the world, but to anyone in Melbourne this weekend, I’d love you to drop in! xxx
