Gorman tote for The Royal Children's Hospital

Love this gorgeous (and on-trend) lobster tote from Gorman designed by 12-year-old Jasmine. The tote is priced at $12 and 100% of proceeds will go to The Royal Children's Hospital, where Jasmine has spent a lot of time since she was born.

Gorman aims to raise $18,000 to gift to the hospital for Christmas - are you in?

You can find the limited edition lobster tote in store or online here.

Killer Gorman mohair throws and homewares

I could wear Gorman every day and not get sick of it (hint, hint kids-slash-husband!). So I just about flipped when I saw the new mohair throws from Gorman in collaboration with Melbourne's iconic St Albans.

Choose from a boucle finish (in yellow or fuschia) or brushed finish (in orange/blue, green/blue or my favourite - multi-colour). It's just like a favourite Gorman jumper for your sofa/bed!


And speaking of beds, have you seen the amazing Gorman quilt in collaboration with Melbourne-based print media artist Ellie Malin that is about to be released? It's all kinds of wonderful.

You can find Gorman mohair throws and homewares in the online store. Happy Mother's Day shopping!

Castle homewares and Gorman collaboration

Sydney-sider Rachel Castle is a styling/designing/artist genius, and the recent collaboration of her homewares brand Castle with one of my favourite Australian labels Gorman is perfection. The colour palette of neutrals with pops of bright colour just makes me happy. What's not to love about Castle's collection of bed linen (including a children's range), pillows, clothes, towels, tea towels, totes, art work, garlands and cushions:

The Castle homewares collection has no age limit; great in a child's room, amazing for a teenager, and pretty darn perfect for adults too. Those Castle + Gorman "put the love in the coconut" towels are a must-have. I'm going to stop gushing now, and just pin them all to my wishlist.

You can find Castle homewares in the online store and at stockists in NSW and VIC. Find Castle + Gorman fashion in Gorman stores and online.
