It feels a little bit like I’m dusting off an old journal writing this.
I didn’t realise how long it had been since I last sat down to write a blog - life has just been full in that way it tends to be. Busy hands, busy mind, lots of creating, a lot of behind the scenes shifting… and if I’m honest, a quiet little season of recalibrating too.
But it feels really nice to be back here.
And what better time than now - as the air softens, the light changes, and everything starts to slow just a little.
Welcome, Autumn 🤍
A Soft Shift Into the Season
There’s something about this time of year that always pulls me inward.
The mornings feel cooler, the afternoons a little golden and sleepy, and suddenly I’m craving slower rituals - cups of tea that don’t go cold because I actually sit down to drink them, music playing softly in the background, Ollie pottering around while I potter too.
I’ve been making small changes around the house to honour that shift.
Nothing dramatic - just gentle, intentional tweaks:
- swapping out lighter fabrics for softer, warmer textures
- bringing in more creams, muted greens, and dusky tones
- lighting candles earlier in the evening (this one might be my favourite)
- letting the house feel a little more lived in and less “perfect”
It’s less about aesthetics and more about feeling.
I want our home to feel cosy, calm, and grounding - a place where we can exhale at the end of the day.
What’s Been Happening Behind the Scenes
There’s been quite a bit of quiet change happening lately.
Some of it you might have noticed - little shifts in how things look, feel, and flow. I’ve been refining things in a way that feels more aligned, more intentional, and honestly… more sustainable for me.
Running a business, being a mum, trying to stay creative - it’s a lot. And I think I’ve been learning (slowly 😅) that things don’t have to be chaotic to be successful.
So I’ve been simplifying.
Focusing more on what I love:
- beautiful, garden style bouquets
- meaningful event work - that align with my style of floristry and what I love. I don't want to compromise myself by taking on work that doesn't feel like a good fit.
- creating things that feel emotional, not just “pretty”
Letting go of what doesn’t feel right anymore.
And trusting that that’s enough.
How My Florals Are Changing with the Season
This is always my favourite part.
You can feel the change in the flowers before you even realise it.
The bright, playful energy of summer starts to soften. The colours deepen. The textures become a little moodier, a little more romantic.
I find myself reaching for:
- richer tones
- softer, more muted palettes
- flowers with movement, but a slightly heavier presence
- interesting textures that feel a bit more earthy and grounded
Everything feels a touch more poetic.
A little less “look at me” and more lean in closer.
And I think that mirrors how I feel this time of year too.
A Little Easter Note
With Easter just around the corner, I just wanted to say - I hope you have the loveliest, slowest, most comforting long weekend.
Whether it’s spent with family, friends, or just quietly at home, I hope it feels easy and full in the best way.
Maybe there’s chocolate involved (hopefully there’s chocolate involved), maybe a walk in the crisp air, maybe just doing absolutely nothing for a moment.
That’s the kind of Easter I’m craving this year.
Things I’m Loving This Month
I used to do this in my newsletters and I’ve missed it so much - just sharing the little things that are making life feel soft and lovely lately.
So here’s what I’ve been reaching for, rewatching, sipping on, and living in this month…
Music
It’s very much a 90s, emotional, slow kind of vibe at the moment.
- 90s love songs on repeat (the kind that feel a little bit dramatic in the best way)
- Soft, nostalgic playlists while I’m arranging
- Music that makes everything feel a little more romantic and cinematic
What I’ve Been Watching & Inspired By
Less watching, more obsessing.
- The love story of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy - I can’t explain it, I’m just completely drawn to it
Movies
Still leaning into atmosphere over anything else.
- Anything that feels like Wuthering Heights energy - moody, romantic, windswept
- Easy, comforting films I can have on in the background while I potter
Food & Drinks
Cosy, comforting, and a little indulgent.
- Almond iced chai (I don’t think I’ll ever not be obsessed)
- Fresh sourdough and simple, home-style meals
- Afternoon tea moments that feel a little bit slow and intentional
Clothes
My wardrobe is finally starting to match how I want to feel.
- Soft knits that feel cosy but still feminine
- Maxi skirts (I’m reaching for them constantly at the moment)
- Ballet flats — easy, pretty, and just feel very “me”
- Soft, neutral tones and romantic textures
It’s funny how much the little things shape a season.
Right now everything feels a little slower, a little softer - and I’m really leaning into that.
And I think that quiet, undone elegance I’ve been so drawn to lately… it’s finding its way into everything I’m creating too.
If you’ve been loving something lately - a show, a song, anything - tell me. I’m always adding to my little list 🤍
Moving Forward
I don’t have anything big or dramatic to announce.
This isn’t a “new era” or a big rebrand moment.
It’s just a quiet return.
To this space, to sharing more, to letting you in a little bit again - not just on the flowers, but on the life around them too.
I’ve missed this.
And I’m really glad you’re here 🤍
Have a beautiful Easter, angels.
Speak soon,
