The Weekly Edit

Of all of the celebrations we are starting to adopt from the US, Valentine’s Day is my favourite. Why? I think that it is lovely to take the time and celebrate the special people in our lives that we love and care for. It doesn’t need to be over the top or sickeningly sentimental but often we get busy and forget to rejoice in those closest to us.

So for this edition of the Weekly Edit we are all about the season of ‘love’. We celebrate a very special milestone with our very own Kayla and her Jase, list our favourite rom coms for lazy weekend lie-ins and our new Summer Vibes cocktail for celebratory drinks!!

1. Celebrate Love

We love our beautiful Kayla and wanted to acknowledge the awesome milestone of 20 years married last week! This is a fabulous celebration and a testament to being married to your best friend.

Celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary!

Where has the time gone!!! We have had so many wonderful crazy adventures together over the last 20 years, traveling the globe and working in remote parts of Africa, Australia and Vanuatu. Our life has never been boring and I am forever grateful to be married to my best friend and partner in crime - I can't wait for many more years to come xx

2. Rom Com Favs

Get ready to swoon and laugh this Valentine's Day with our ultimate Rom-Com movie marathon! 🎬💕

Whether it's the classic meet-cute, the hilarious mix-ups, or the heartwarming confessions, or just a little bit of action, we've gathered our favorite romantic comedies to make your day extra special.

So grab some popcorn (and possibly our newest cocktail), cozy up with your loved ones, and let these films remind you that love and laughter are the perfect match!

What's your go-to Rom-Com for a perfect Valentine's night in? 🍿💘

4. Katy's Mini Edit

Loving for 2025

The rich colours coming through for the new season. Warm reds, plums and chocolates both in fashion and interiors. This is going to be fun!!

Design Tip

When it comes to buying furniture, it's all about the details! From the shape and fabric to the piping and pattern placement, every element counts. With the trend of curved sofas and chairs, ensure you check the tightness of the upholstery around those beautiful curves. You definitely don't want a saggy fit after a few uses!

Excited About...

Testing Kayla’s cocktail this weekend - yum!!
