A beautiful space - interiors love.

I'm a big fan of designer Sarah Ellison her aesthetic and of course her furniture range.

I have loved her style since discovering it when she worked for Real Living magazine and her interior shoots had me wanting everything! I have bought her Halston console table and have a couple of other pieces on my wish list.

I recently came across an apartment she created for Three Rooms Sydney who offer beautiful apartment style accommodation. Located within an iconic heritage building on the corner of Macleay Street and Challis Avenue in the heart of Sydney’s chic Potts Point neighbourhood.

I've popped the photos down below for some serious home inspo...

Simple and stylish, a neutral palette with various textures. Everthing I'm loving lately!

Byron Diary - March 2020

Towards the end of last year Simon and I had booked a little getaway to Byron but we cancelled it due to all of the fires. So when we had a gap in our schedules we decided to rebook it and enjoy a few days in one of our favourite spots.

We stayed at the Byron at Byron and loved the peaceful surrounds just out of town. We had quiet mornings having breakfast overlooking the rainforest and afternoon dips in the gorgeous pool. The weather was so humid whilst we there so the pool definitely got a work out!

We enjoyed a few lazy days checking out our old favourite places and discovering new finds.

It was lovely to be back in Byron......

The Spell girls have shared a Byron guide which is full of amazing recommendations

A rainy city weekend

For Christmas each year Simon's and my gift to each other is usually a weekend in the city.

A chance to recharge, relax and catch up... just the two of us. We realised the other day that it's March already and we still hadn't booked a stay. So after some co-ordinating with the grandparents we arranged a weekend in at the Sofitel at Darling Harbour.

We picked up the boys from school on Friday afternoon, dropped them home and headed into the city. We checked in and were thrilled to receive an upgrade to a stunning room with an amazing view over Darling Harbour, into the city and beyond! We had such amazing service during our entire stay.

Nothing better than champagne and chocolate coated strawberries on arrival!

As the Sofitel is in such a great central location the options for dinner were endless. We walked along the waterfront and had dinner and drinks at one of the restaurants there.

Saturday was looking a little grey and as we didn't really feel like getting amongst the hustle and bustle of the Saturday shopping crowd, we had a leisurely breakfast in the buffet restaurant downstairs and had a wander around the hotel. The infinity edge pool looked gorgeous but the weather was a bit too cool for me to take a dip.

Instead we decided to try and beat the rain and fit in a walk to The Rocks via Barangaroo.

Once we got back to the hotel it was time for a drink.

We headed down to the gorgeous Champagne Bar for a cocktail or two before dinner.

I think I discovered a new favourite drink with the Saint-Germain concoction.

Darling Harbour does a fantastic firework display every Saturday night at 9pm.

We had the perfect view from our room. The boys would have loved it!

On Sunday we woke up to a pretty gloomy day but it was the perfect weather for a sleep in, a soak in the amazing bath and breakfast at the buffet.

We checked out knowing that we would definitely be back, as the Sofitel is the perfect spot for a city stay. We're thinking we'll bring the boys next time and get out and about and do a bit more.

But for Simon and I having this relaxing weekend was just what we needed before we head into a busy few months.
