What a whirlwind these past few weeks have been, but, before I drill into all the exciting things that have happened and are happening, it's Happy Birthday to us. Yes AA is celebrating 21 years this month. I can hardly believe it and to celebrate we have so many exciting things happening. 

From taking Style Surgery on the road (I could be rocking up at your house) stay tuned to Insta for how to win that, to exciting drops, even more exciting comps and a new strand highlighting my weekly obsessions on social from pantry staples (Lions Mane latte anyone) to fashion must haves (shearling clogs) to beauty products that I can’t live without.

Wishing you all the loveliest of Summers, we've actually had a bout of good weather here in the UK (although it may not last long), I hope you get to take some time with your friends and family and enjoy some al fresco living.With August being such a holiday month, wherever you may be enjoy and happy holidays.

I was blown away with the reaction. With a full house and standing room only at the back, the number of people that came, listened, spoke to me at the end and also messaged me afterwards, totally and utterly blew me away. The hugest of thank yous.

After the show, I got a little time to investigate this food loving city with its hidden laneways, beautiful botanical gardens, and wonderful coffee houses. Some of my favourite areas and streets include Little Bourke, Fritzroy, Flinders Lane and strolls along the Yarra. 

We ate some incredible food at Chi Chi which was one of my faves, serving up some really fabulous Asian food, every coffee was amazing from the tiniest cafes to fabulous brunch spots. We had breakfast at Higher Ground where you can choose from chilli scrambled eggs, blueberry and ricotta hotcakes or as I had a coconut and chia bircher – delish.

Any downtime has seen me garden side, even with the weather not being that great I just relish being outdoors with the garden lights on, firing up the Big Green Egg and generally pottering. Oh have you seen our Tawny LED Candles? I have them everywhere and when daylight gently fades to dusk they light the garden up magically. 


So exciting to see one of the top sellers of the month and filling up your carts is our fabulous and newly launched collection of art. These beautiful pieces elevate and add personality to walls, shelves and consoles and have sold out so fast I am actually on the waitlist!

Next, a lot more biz travel coming up including Vegas, Palm Springs, Chicago and New York where we are launching our AW24 Collections and showcasing them to buyers, so exciting (albeit a little exhausting) but I shall update you all soon, in the meantime, enjoy the sunshine.
