The long warm days of July always inspire me, particularly this month when there has been so much travel. We saw baking temps in NYC and Atlanta (100 Fahrenheit) where we were setting up our AW collections to showcase to buyers. Yet with all that heat I was blown away with how lush everything felt, particularly Atlanta.

We've announced our final 2 design classes for the year, so if you fancy hanging out in my pad for the day being super inspired to create your dream home with like minded interior obsessed friends then make sure book now. 

I hope you enjoy my July musings, there's a lot of travel ahead and the biz is bonkers as per but I do try and get some downtime to keep me sane. Read on for some highlights from Altlanta, the books on my bedside and the clothes on my Wishlist.

Happy mid-summer madness to you all. 

Rumi’s Kitchen is a swanky place to dine, serving sensuous Persian cuisine. A few minutes away from our hotel it was a discovery that I am so glad we found as everytime we return to the city, which is a couple of times a year we are dining here! Before you even order you get served a plate of crackling flatbread with a platter of radishes, feta, walnuts, mint and tarragon. We sat the bar and ordered small plates of burnt aubergine, corn ribs, tahini hummous it was so good. I could literally eat there every night.

With my head firmly into AW24 it was so lovely to get so many amazing messages regarding our newly launched natural wine collection. It really has changed the way I drink which is a lot less but a lot nicer!Talking of messages every time we launch statement pieces my feed fills to the brim with all your lovely messages giving me so much joy reading how much you are loving all our latest landings.

I wanted to share something that I am super excited, flattered and delighted about and that is to be asked to be a part of is the 20th year anniversary of Décor & Design held in Melbourne, Australia. I am a keynote speaker at this premier design event and I cannot wait to return to a country I so love. With a visit to the show with its unique mix of heritage and emerging brands and a whistle stop tour of this culinary city summer is a busy time but more on my trip in next months musings.
