Phew! Another week, done and dusted. I hope you've all had a fabulous week so far! I've been away in Queenstown with the Husband tribe for the school holidays - and what a breath of fresh air it has been!
Here's a round up of all the gorgeous things I am loving this week, be sure to check them out and let us know what you think!

 1. The Ultimate Mother's Day Gift Guide!

Struggling to pick a present for Mum? We understand how hard it is to pick the perfect gift for the beautiful women in our lives!!

We've made it easy this year for you by cultivating our top picks - order online, get it gift wrapped by our amazing team and viola!

 2. Lauren Dickinson Clarke Candles

We have just had these GORGEOUS candles and mugs from LDC arrive from the UK. Each design represents a Muse, and tells a story to inspire us to embrace our individuality. They are so beautifully packaged, with an enviable amount of craftsmanship. These would make the peeeerfect gift for Mum this Mother's Day, FYI!!

 3. Queenstown Adventures

We have just spent the week in Queenstown exploring one of the most beautiful parts of NZ. The autumn colours were stunning and we loved getting out and about and experiencing the region.

Highlights were definitely the Goldfields Mining Centre (who knew that there used to beaches of gold that the early explorers found in Cromwell and Queenstown). Although we panned for gold we didn't find our fortune!! We also loved the luge (especially for the more competitive family members!!) and two favourite eating spots were Flame in central Queenstown and Cargo Brewery in Arthur's Point.

 4. Fabio!

One of our latest bespoke pieces, Fabio, is on show in the showroom and he is one comfortable guy. We covered him in Mokum's Vintage Deux Italian velvet and he's also built with a feather/pearl duvet wrapped around foam in the seat and back cushions!! Super comfortable!

Fabio is simply GORGEOUS - and one of the many pieces we can customise and create for you. From size, design, fabrication and details - you name it, we can do it!

 5. Harriet Teddy Coat (Em's Pick!)

We have not been one to gloss over the fact our car windows are now freezing over in April, so that means one thing - COSY JACKETS! Here is one our gorgeous Em has been eyeing up from Friends With Frank - it's fully lined and make with a lush faux-wool like fabric.

Check it out here and save to your wishlist!!

 6. Orangery Wallpaper

A wallpaper I keep coming back to and loving. Orangery by Matthew Williamson is an arrangement of scattered orchids, butterflies and ornate birdcages on a contrasting monochrome lace pattern. This beautiful wallpaper featured in one of our latest bathroom projects and created such a visually impactful bathroom.

 7. The Three S's: SLEEP!!

I have spent the past week away with Edward and the kids, and it has been a saviour to my sleep! I've truly cherished this down-time, you can read more about my sleep journey in our latest Autumn catalogue!

I will be making more of an effort to enforce some healthier sleep-time habits when I'm home (ie - limit night time browsing!! Guilty!)
