No one to talk too



It's quiet in the design room today - Amy is on her way to China to meet some suppliers, Emma is on holiday in Europe, Imogen isn't in again until Friday and Jess is busy with a photo shoot...
Luckily I've got lots to keep me busy, and the radio playing in the background to keep me company.

Notting Hill, London


I wish we had colourful building like this throughout Auckland. It would make overcast days so much more cheerful. Whatever happened to the sunny day we had yesterday?

Partnering up



We were of course super excited for Julia of Studio Home fame when she won a spot at Blogcademy in NYC - so much so that we are partnering up with Julia to help her make the most of her time in New York, and add in a stop to San Francisco (why wouldn’t you?!). 
Not one to waste an opportunity, Julia has been busy planning interviews with a raft of talent from down-under seeking success in New York. Watch out for her blog series ‘Fly the Coop: NYC’ which will take a peek into the lives of these creatives.
We are also pleased to have our friends from Endemic World along for the ride as a partner too.

Mamma Mia!



Amy was eating the yummiest looking homemade pizza yesterday. She had bought wood fired turkish pizza bases, and spread them with tomato paste, salt & pepper, olives, spinach, dried herbs – oregano, parsley & basil- and a mixture of tasty & parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
Inspired, and because we had the exact same ingredients in the fridge, I went home and made a version of Amy's pizza with a few adjustments. We made a thin crust dough from scratch, spread it with tomato paste and added spinach, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano & pepper, then sprinkled a mixture of tasty cheese & feta on top. Simple but delicious!
What are your favourite pizza toppings?

Under the Sun in Greece



Hi Guys!
Im back from my Grecian adventure, and what a time I had!
The trip started in Athens, with a day exploring the Acropolis, the Plaka and other surrounding areas. The next morning had us on a 5 hour ferry ride to Santorini where we spent 3.5 days exploring the island, eating incredible food and chilling out at the beach. The weather was amazing, the people were friendly and the sights were inspiring.

Im now back in the office, sharing my photos and stories with the girls as we begin work on the first stages of our range for summer 2013/14.
