Excuse us while we pick ourselves up off the floor... but this Daisy Dress from Mariah is STUNNING. 😍

From .Sews.Things:

"Feeling so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with in bringing their Daisy dress pattern to life. I had been lovingly eying-off version ever since Kayla posted it, it’s simply to die for! 🥹

Everything about the Daisy dress is effortlessly dreamy. I love the option of inserting lace into the sleeves and button plackets, its elements like these that make a piece feel heirloom quality and so very special. I sourced both vintage lace trims featured on my Daisy dress from as they truly are unrivalled for special vintage options!

Peppermint so kindly provided me some insanely gorgeous linen from for this project. I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this linen from their Lola range. This colour way is Pine and I am truly obsessed! So much so that I chose to fabric cover my buttons for this project for a seamless match.

I was also very kindly gifted some absolutely incredible tools from as pictured in my final photograph. The terrazzo pin dish is so beautiful and really elevated my whole sewing experience. Not to mention the pins are heat resistant and made with a thoughtful nod towards inclusion. These pins are crafted with soft, grippable silicone pads to make sewing accessible for everybody - regardless of shaky hands or limited dexterity 🥹

This project was made over the course of two weeks with lots of pockets of time spent dedicated to perfecting the perfect fit and finish. I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity to collaborate with so many incredible brands. If you’re looking for me, I’ll be busy daydreaming about this project for the foreseeable future 🥹

What if our clothes could tell better stories?

Not about trends or whatever micro-era the algorithm has decided we’re currently living through. Actual stories about women who fought, protested, rebuilt cities, drove trams, crossed deserts and changed Australia, even when history tried to shuffle them off to the margins afterwards.

That’s the idea behind the new collaboration between women’s history walking tours project , beloved Aussie fashion label and illustrator Emma Rowland (): a joyful clothing collection built around women whose contributions throughout history deserve a much bigger spotlight.

For She Shapes History founder and CEO Sita Sargeant, that sense of visibility sits at the core of everything the organisation does.

“She Shapes History exists to close the respect gap,” Sita says. “The lack of recognition for women’s contributions to history. We bring women’s stories in the places we live, work and visit to life.”

Hope Lives Here 🫶🏾

"Compassion opens up our hearts, creates curiosity, connects us to our community, builds something built from radical love and empathy and goodness. It's where everything we dream of and hope for, comes from."

Our Viola Quilted Jacket minus the quilting - what a gorgeous hack! 👏

From :

“I present to you my take on the - I made many liberties with it, it’s not quilted for one.

The jacket was made out of a thrifted Australian wool blanket, and perfectly matched denim, cotton and Japanese bridal satin - all from 😎✨

Over a year in the making, I’m so excited it’s finally done! It’s not perfect but will be perfect for the cooler mornings walks.”

"Wednesday Ocean Waders is made up of people from all walks of life – different ages, backgrounds, professions, fitness levels, and life experiences – none of that really matters. Some come for community, some for wellbeing, some for challenge and others because they love the ocean. What makes WOW special is that there’s no ‘type’ of person you have to be to belong there. But I can say WOW folk have a special something – a sense of adventure and a real glimmer of fun."

Each Wednesday, members gather in the half-light before sunrise to embrace the invigorating challenge of the ocean, then linger for conversation, laughter and connection. We asked founder Joanna to tell us more about the group in the second of our Shutterbugs series, powered by .

WOW member Janice documented one of their first winter swims using a Fujifilm QuickSnap Waterproof camera – head to the link below to see their fabulous shots and hear more about how community is built under the waves. 🌊

Sometimes, making the world a little better is as simple as easing off the accelerator.

For the past year, five original artworks by Hobart artist Natalia Bennett (.C.Bennett) have been on display at Hobart Airport as part of the Slow Down for Wildlife campaign, encouraging travellers to pause and take notice of some of Tasmania's most extraordinary native species: the Masked Owl, Spotted-tailed Quoll, Tasmanian Devil, Wedge-tailed Eagle and Swift Parrot.

Now, those artworks are being auctioned to support Wildlife Sanctuary, whose wildlife rescue service responds to around 20,000 calls for help every year. Many of those calls involve animals injured on our roads, including some of the threatened species Natalia has so beautifully brought to life in her work.

Bidding opens today (12 June), with all proceeds going to Bonorong through Friends of Bonorong to support the rescue, rehabilitation and care of wildlife in need.

The auction closes on 22 June. If you've been looking for a meaningful way to support Australian wildlife, this is a beautiful one.

Thrifting is all about believing in second chances (only cuter).

We wholeheartedly second this sentiment! Artwork by the incredible artist Shannon Snow .Shannon 💕

Found via :

“She’s not clutter. She’s vintage with trauma and a great backstory.

Why we love this piece:
Because thrifting isn’t just shopping, it’s matchmaking for emotionally available mugs and lonely knick-knacks. This quote hits right in the warm-core: second chances can be cuter. Plus, that little green snail? Deserves its own sitcom.”
