Taylor Swift has released her 8th studio album and she describes it as “wistful and full of escapism" as well as "sad, beautiful, tragic”. Touted as the best work of her career, she is no doubt one of the most powerful songwriters of our time. I love listening to her masterfully crafted lyrics - my top eight include:

1. “And if my wishes came true / It would've been you / In my defense, I have none / For never leaving well enough alone / But it would've been fun / If you would've been the one” (“the 1”)

2. “You drew stars around my scars / But now I'm bleedin'” (“cardigan”)

3. “There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen / She had a marvelous time ruining everything” ( “​the last great american dynasty”)

4. “I didn't have it in myself to go with grace / And you're the hero flying around, saving face / And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?” (“​my tears ricochet”)

5. “August sipped away like a bottle of wine / ‘Cause you were never mine” (“august”)

6. “Time, curious time / Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs / Were there clues I didn't see? /
And isn't it just so pretty to think / All along there was some / Invisible string / Tying you to me?” (“invisible string”)

7. “Don't want no other shade of blue but you / No other sadness in the world would do” (“hoax”)

But it is her duet with Bon Ivor which is heartbreakingly beautiful....

8. “I think I've seen this film before / And I didn't like the ending / You're not my homeland anymore / So what am I defending now? / You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out / I think I've seen this film before / So I'm leavin' out the side door” ( “exile”)

Billboard: "A project created in isolation..... We're fortunate that she decided to share it with us."

100% 🙌🏼🗝✨♥️

Face masks weren’t on anyone’s Top Looks of 2020 list. But thanks to Coronavirus, here we are! Designers and creatives worldwide have been putting their stamp on this medical slash fashion accessory. My top pick comes from sustainable Melbourne based brand ‘Muse the Label’. They are currently making made-to-order fabric masks in a range of their signature muted neutral colour palette – ochre, blush, clay and sage, to name a few. 100 per cent linen, and featuring a two-tone self-tie feature for something different. So to escape anywhere at the moment - all I can say is MASK ON 🙌🏼✨🗝♥️

Mark September 22 in your diary people! Jane Harper’s fourth novel - ‘The Survivors’ - is due to hit the shelves, and I for one do not want to miss it. Harper’s three previous novels ‘The Dry’, ‘Force of Nature’ and ‘The Lost Man’ all cemented her place as one of Australia’s most compelling crime writers. ‘The Dry’ is currently in film production starring Eric Bana and is being produced by Bruna Papandrea of ‘Big Little Lies’ fame.
Harper’s goal is clear: to write books people will enjoy reading, ones that she would like to read herself. “As a journalist I learned not to assume people will read to the end,” she said. “I need to keep people engaged.”
Award winning - tick
Internationally acclaimed - tick
Compulsively readable - tick
Goal achieved! 📖✨🗝♥️

The Heidelberg School was an iconic art movement of Australian landscape artists in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. I have always adored the works by these trailblazing impressionists, who depicted a shared love of the Australian landscape and the spirit of the bush.
Contemporary artist Jennifer Riddle pulls at the same visual heartstrings as the Heidelberg School painters, with her atmospheric and naturalistic pieces. So it is no surprise she has been the recipient of the John Glover People’s Choice Award, not once but twice (The Glover Prize is one of Australia’s most significant awards for landscape painting). She is a star of the Australian art world for sure - I am severely impressed! ✨🖼🗝♥️

“It all started with a stitch – literally. No grand plan, no big idea. One weekend I was just looking to burn off some anxiety and turned to embroidery... I picked up an old cashmere sweater, a needle, and thread and LF was born! Today, Lingua Franca is a line of sustainably-sourced, fair trade luxury cashmere sweaters, all hand-stitched by women in NYC” / Founder - Rachelle Hruska MacPherson.
Tina Fey, Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Bell, Andy Cohen and Hilary Clinton are all huge fans of these incredible cashmere statement pieces. PS - the last sweater depicts the term Trump used to describe @chrissyteigen, and is my favourite 👊🏻✨💕

‘Aceology is a brand which is serious about your skin’ - Vogue Australia. Launching onto the market just last year, this Sydney based juggernaut majors in masks - infusing them with proven technologies and potent ingredients. No matter your concerns, whether you’re seeking an illuminating remedy for lacklustre skin or a charcoal-powered detox for congestion, they have the transformative mask for you (even one for your butt!). My current favourite though is their ice globe facial massagers, which promise to give your facial muscles and tissue a little workout - leaving skin lifted, smooth and radiant. So what are you waiting for? 🧴✨🗝💕

My sister and I have been die hard Rachel Castle fans since her spotty screen prints started flying out of her Sydney studio over a decade ago.
Her love of words, hearts, flowers and spots in all colours of the rainbow is highly infectious and just loads of fun.
Castle artworks, bed linen and tea towels will inject happiness, sunshine and love into any home and make you smile.
She is an undeniable talent and absolute legend.
Stop what you are doing and purchase a ‘Don’t be a Dick’ tea towel right now! 🙌🏼🗝✨♥️

Travel photographer, Charles Ryan Clarke, gives us a glimpse into his corner of the world in the most quirky and unexpected way via @matchbookdiaries - check it out!
"Charles’ work is far from traditional travel photography, but it certainly inspires me to travel. I love seeing the typography and design of matchbooks from different institutions around the world, and the ways that restaurants and hotels have distilled their brand onto a tiny box. It’s one of the few accounts I still go to for a look at the Instagram grid as a whole because it’s just so visually appealing."—Stephanie Wu, Director, Articles, Condé Nast Traveler, November 2019 🔥🗝✨♥️

You can only venture so far these days, but Sydneysiders can count themselves lucky as only 60 minutes north of the CBD is the picture perfect Sunday escape - ‘Saddles’. Perched on a private glassy dam, with a sandstone fireplace and wrap-around verandah, the project combines formal dining with a casual bakery.
The 10 hectare property, owned by John Singleton, is situated in Mount White and surrounded by bushland. Artisan saddler, Heath Harris, who has worked with Singleton in crafting saddles for his nearby Strawberry Hills Stud, has put his mark on the interior design, most notably the bespoke saddle stools which line the main bar.
So ‘saddle up’ for a lunch to remember filled with country inspired dishes made with local produce and finished off with mouth watering flaky pastries. Devine 🙌🏼🗝✨♥️

When Sutton Stracke opened her flagship concept store ‘Sutton’ in Beverly Hills all the ‘real’ housewives flocked. She sent her 90210 squad home with quite the gift bag haul, but it was the French label ‘Perrin Paris’, luxe glove clutch handbag, that made the most noise. Exemplifying the label's offbeat personality - it is designed to be worn and of course be statement making! 👛🗝✨♥️

Newcastle dynamic duo, Wyan McAllister and Kyle Roddenby, are the very talented makers behind ‘Clay Canoe’. Collaborating on all aspects of design and production, their work is born out of a shared love of creating. Using locally sourced slabs of clay it takes approximately one month to dry, bisque, glaze, photograph and upload each new release of work. So patience and passion is behind each one of these beautiful ‘earthy’ and modern pieces.
Fingers crossed, COVID stays at bay and we can see them at the Finders Keepers Market, Sydney in December 2020! 🤞🏼🗝✨♥️
