My Space: Lena from Mina Moka
Meet Lena, the author of Mina Moka, a blog dedicated to the beauty behind design – and beauty she truly shares. Lena is based in the very cool city of Berlin but is an international girl at heart and has spent many years living and traveling abroad. Her blog reflects her discoveries in her hometown and around the world, from contemporary, elegant design to the local artisan. It’s a beautiful eclectic mix that is always true to the roots of design aesthetic and as you can see, she takes stunning photographs. Along with her gorgeous blog, by day Lena works as a freelance screen writer and script consultant! I’m so pleased to have this multi-talented girl sharing a special place in her home for the “My Space” series.
NZ House & Garden Tour | Auckland

I remember not long after moving to New Zealand, I drove through a lovely street in Epsom and saw droves of people parking cars and walking towards a grand looking home. Curious to know what was going on, I slowed down and saw a New Zealand House & Garden House Tour sign out the front. Last Friday and a couple of years later, I finally got to experience what all of that fuss was about.
Father Rabbit New Store | Fog Linen Showcase
Father Rabbit has made yet another smart move, opening a second store in the lovely Herne Bay neighbourhood since opening its flagship store at BLOC late last year (you can read about that here). Along with all of the adorable kitchen and homewares known to Father Rabbit that encourages anyone into domestic bliss, the Herne Bay store is very much a Fog Linen Showcase, after extending their range extensively, a first for New Zealand. I popped into the store yesterday to take a few photos for you, as I know you all love a little shop tour!
Blule | Daily Illustrations
On my speedy trip back to Sydney last week I had coffee with a friend in Bondi and she had her friend, Clementine join us. It turns out that Clementine recently moved to Sydney from Paris and is a super talented illustrator or what she calls herself a doodle designer under her brand, “Blule“. Hearing that, I was pretty curious to see her style.
