It’s my last day of leave and I’m making the most of it with errands, an appointment and a picnic 🧺 Might pop in to some fave spots within my 10kms en route too 💕 Wearing a @misterzimi Daisy top in mosaic with @targetaus jeans and my derby shoes from @rollienation 💕How’s your Monday treating you?

After a major digression into all things Sally Rooney this past week (re-reading Conversations with Friends and re-watching Normal People on @stanaustralia), I’ve emerged from Dublin to immerse myself in the Upper East Side of NYC with Mrs March. What would we do without armchair travel right now? #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #currentlyreading #book #lifeinlockdown #whattoreadnext #whattoread #fiction #armchairtravel

It was forty seven seasons in one day today ☀️⛅️❄️💨 so I layered up for our picnic in the park with our extended family to wish our gorgeous nieces happy birthday (who we can see now thanks to our new 10km radius). Looking forward to being able to catch up again indoors one day. Tap for outfit details. #ootd #coldtimes #fourseasonsinoneday #everydaystyle #fashion #showusyourgorman #gorman

What a week! I’ve read - inhaled - three excellent novels in seven days 🤓 I’ve since been busily reading articles and features on the authors and their books to distil my many thoughts - my full review will be on the blog at the end of the month but in the meantime, I’d give each of these books 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #book #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #booklover #bookreview #whattoread #whattoreadnext

While we’re staying home these holidays, I’m reminiscing about some of the regional adventures we have managed to have during the last eighteen months. Our Labour day long weekend in Red Hill back in March was definitely a highlight of ‘21 and I’m grateful we were able to go away while we could. Where to next 🤔 #holidays #weekendgetaway #maybenextyear

Channeling my inner Wella Woman 💁‍♀️ as I get dressed up for a couple of errands (what would we do without click and collect) and a walk around the block with my 75 year old Mum. It’s the start of a ten day break from work and I’m excited 🥳 I’m also enoying the sunshine ☀️ before the rain comes again 🌧 How’s your Friday treating you? #ootd #fridayfeels #spring #lifeinlockdown #everydaystyle

Like a lot of people, I’m finding it harder than normal to read in lockdown. But then I picked up this book on Sunday morning and devoured it by Monday night 🤓 Now I can’t stop thinking about it so if you could all please read it ASAP and come back to me with your thoughts, I’d appreciate it 🤣 What was the last book you inhaled? #thepaperpalace #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #book #whattoreadnext #whattoread #bookreview

It’s the last week of term 3 for Victorian state schools #howdidthathappen Everyone here is exhausted and over lockdown 😩 Thankfully the sweet relief of a break from remote learning is coming and is enough to give me a pep in my step today. Hang in there and I hope you have a good one too 😘 Artwork: @rachelcastleandthings
