I’m wearing activewear and working from home today 🤓 but yesterday I popped on this outfit for work on a warm Autumn day 🍁 I love how a printed skirt - this is a @gormanclothing skirt from SS20/21 - can elevate corporate basics 🧡 Tap pic for other outfit details. #outfitoftheday #showusyourgorman #ootd #fashion #whattoweartowork #corporatefashion #gorman #everydaystyle

We are home again after a quiet and restorative time away. Sunshine, rest, good food, nature and a few good snort laughs punctuating the usual shenanigans, end of term and post appendectomy fatigue ✨How was your Easter long weekend? Do tell! #easter2021 #shenanigans #lifewithboys #familytravel #holidaywithkids #holidayswithkids #hepburnshire #lyonville #daylesford #trentham

Loving these autumn days that start cool and crisp and then warm up to gloriously mild sunny days ☀️ They also offer so many options in the layering department. Today I’m wearing a @misterzimi knit (last winter) over the banksia tee dress from @gormanclothing (current, on sale) with my chalk pink derbys from @rollienation 💘 Are you a layer lover too?

I finally finished Hamnet (which I loved but wouldn’t recommend reading while your son is in hospital 😢) and just picked up ‘The Imitator’, a book set in London during and after WW2 by Australian author @rebeccastarford_author. So far, I’m really enjoying it. What are you reading this long weekend?

Our Easter took an unexpected turn when our twelve

Our Easter took an unexpected turn when our twelve year old had his appendix out on Thursday night. After three nights in hospital (a bit longer than usual because his appendix had perforated), he has made a stunning recovery and we’ve managed to salvage a couple of nights away at our booked accommodation at @the_church_at_lyonville 🍃With it’s glorious garden, it’s the perfect place for us all to convalesce and regroup after a hectic term. I’m looking forward to the fresh country air doing it’s restorative thing ❤️ #easter2021 #countrylife #lyonville @visithepburnshire

Is there anything tastier than food made by or given to you by thoughtful friends? I think not ❤️ Thanks to @captain_is_tenille for the outrageously delicious baked goods 😍 and my green thumbed colleague Mon who gave me these tomato varieties from her garden. They are nourishing me from the inside out ❤️ #foodstagram #foodfromfriends #foodiesofinstagram

The kids are tired, the end of term fatigue is real, there’s packing for the long weekend ahead. Then there’s work, Easter Bunny duties 🐰and all the usual things plus end of season break ups and school cross country (is that just me?). Or maybe you’re in lockdown or have a holiday planned interstate and things are weird, uncertain and anxiety provoking. Deep breaths guys, it’s already Tuesday and we’ll get there🤞😆💕 One day at a time. Artwork: @quotesbychristie #tuesdayfeels #lastweekofterm

So great to see our 12 year old and his mates running around the ground in a practice match this morning ❤️ It’s just so fab to see junior footy up and running again after the (many) disappointments of last year 🏉 #footysback #juniorfootball

Scrubbed up for our mate Bec’s 40 + 1 birthday dinner last night 💕 Loving the colours in my @obusclothing fortitude smock 💕 They’re also a perfect match for an old pair of party shoes from @gormanclothing 💕 Earrings are also from @obusclothing a couple of summers ago. #ootd #partytime #whattowear #obusontour #everydaystyle #fashion #partydress #saturdaynightselfie

I started a short term, four day a week contract role at the start of February which has meant going to an actual office three or four days a week. Here’s a selection of my work outfits over the last two months. As you can tell, it’s not super corporate but it’s a bit different to the activewear/leisurewear trend of 2020 🤣 Would anyone like a blog post covering my recommended corporate/workwear go-tos? #whattoweartowork #workfashion #workwear #ootd #everydaystyle #showusyourgorman

It’s hard to believe that term 1 is nearly over and Easter 🐣 is next weekend! Even more incredible and thrilling is the prospect of not spending the Easter long weekend in lockdown 🙌🏼🎉🐣🍾😎🍫 #easter2021 #postlockdown #freedom

I might have spent today working from home in activewear 🧘‍♀️ but I frocked up in some fab (and current season) frocks last weekend: the Serpentine dress from @gormanclothing and the Resolution shift dress from @obusclothing (now on sale).
