We're Not Really Strangers Card Game
We're Not Really Strangers is a card game and movement that helps you get to know both strangers and close friends in a whole new light. There are so many editions, including a self-reflection and break up kits as well as friendship and sex party games. It’s all about empowering meaningful connections. Vulnerability is like a new drug, I reckon.
Wynn Hamlyn Laundry Maxi Dress
Hot dress! It’s constructed from various panels connected together by 50+ buttons. I am quite obsessed with this style, to be honest, and am eagerly waiting for the moment I get my hands on it. Oh, I am going to wear it with trousers, I am going to wear it with slouchy jeans but also on its own. You know the feeling when you buy something and can’t stop wearing it until there are holes in it, well, that might be the case. Anyway, just look at it, the dress speaks for itself.
The Row Black Canal Loafers
It’s not a want, it’s a need. I’m kidding of course but look at them, aren’t they the most perfect everyday shoes? I swear, there is nothing in my wardrobe that I couldn't style them with.

MODFORM Lazy Boy
I’m so tired. Tiredness flows through my body, smacking the backs of my eyes and leaving my knees so helpless I can hear them squealing when I’m sprinting on the treadmill at Barry’s Bootcamp. I guess what I am trying to say is, well, I just want to lie down. Forever. I want to sprawl myself over this hand-crafted elegant inanimate piece of art. I want to fall so hard on this bad boy the solid oak knocks me tf out.
Deadly Ponies Crush Tote Mini
I want this. I don’t actually know what I’d put in it; I don’t carry much around, just my vape, ID and singular house key. But I’d find a few objects suitable to stash in here. The hand-painted, croc-embossed bovine leather is sexy as hell, and I want to slap people with it.
Westman Atelier Complexion Drops
I’ll have whatever Gucci is having. I’ve been dabbling in a bit of makeup around my shaving line recently because it’s been aggravated and acting out. I just want one good makeup product - that’s all I have the capacity for right now in my life. I want to use one complexion enhancer that never fails. I want one thing I can turn to when all the lights are bright, and I look rashy and flustered. I think this might just be it.

Toteme Textured Cotton Knit
I am usually way too awkward to ask people what they're wearing but I did request one sweet German fashion blogger tell me where her sweater was from on a recent work trip. Turns out it was Toteme, a brand I love and wear often. The knit in question currently sitting in my shopping cart – right now it feels too expensive but perhaps after a glass of wine one quiet Friday evening I'll pull the trigger.
Le Labo Deodorant
Now that winter is coming, I can lay off the aluminum-laden anti-perspirants. I am so sweaty its actually shocking, summer is a nightmare for me. Obviously I want Le Labo's deodorant – like really badly. It smells expensive and masculine but a little fresh (no baby breath, musk or white flowers) and even contains glycerin to keep armpits smooth. An indulgent take on an otherwise mundane beauty ritual.
Baina Essential Bathroom Set
These are just so nice I really feel incomplete without them. The set is mis-matched which seems odd but extremely cool, because isn't the entire point of furnishing one's home to look as if you haven't really tried too hard (despite trying extremely hard). The cotton is also super soft, and the palette feels neutral enough, but easier to maintain than stark white.

BePure, Stress & Burnout Pack
This time of year is a big year for me, the academic year, with this one being the biggest one of all, my final (Yay). This means extra self care is needed to make sure I am balanced in all areas of my world. I am a big fan of Be-Pure and I can't wait to get my hands on the 'Stress and Burnout Recovery' pack. Find my inner strength and inner calm.
Juliette Hogan JHL Luxe T
I am a sucker for cashmere, I mean who isn't! With the seasons changing as we drift into the Autumn months, we want to pull out those slightly warmer, comfier clothes without losing style. This timeless piece will never go out of fashion and is a must for the wardrobe this year, I know it will be in my one.
Takahe 8 Blackout Family Tent
This one is not very luxurious and may not be for all, but I am now hooked. I have my eye on this baby; Takahe 8 blackout tent. We went 'camping' at the weekend, and I feel great! Now I have been camping as a child but for some reason, you forget how free you feel being out in nature. No care in the world. Doing what you want, when you want. My cup was overflowing, so sign me up!

Le Specs Dotcom
Australian sunglasses brand, Le Specs absolutely nail it when it comes to offering accessible sunglasses that are perfectly on trend. The latest it-frame, is the DOTCOM – which the brand describes as being inspired by the wraparound sunglasses made popular during the 90’s and early 2000’s. I suppose then, their name makes sense as they’re very much transporting me back to my dialup internet days where I’d spend hours customising my MySpace page. I already own the red pair, but when something works I double down… so this blue colourway is mere clicks away from landing on my doorstep.
GoodSelf Eye Masks
Anyone else feel like they’ve already lived a full 12 months this year? GoodSelf is an Aussie-owned, female-founded brand that recently launched with these cute af reusable eye masks and I need to introduce these into my nightly routine ASAP. Not only are these great because they’re reusable but you can use them with products from your existing routine to supercharge the effects of your favourite oil, cream or serum. I’ll be using mine with Emma Lewisham’s Skin Reset Eye Cremé.
HUG Bench by Fearon
The inflated objects movement has clearly got me in its grip. I’m obsessed with these sculptural furniture pieces by Fearon. They’re super modular, so they can be used in multiple ways to brighten up your room and add visual interest to even the smallest of spaces. I’m eyeing off the HUG Bench, because it could be used as a feature piece to display fun objects or double as extra seating when required. The colour options are equally the funnest and hardest part of adding this to cart – but I’m really vibing the French Blue pictured.
