Rach | Founder & Creative Director
Where will we find you this summer?
Byron Bay and then locally at St Andrews Beach.
What is your Ideal summer day?
Waking up early to have coffee outside - I adore summer mornings when its not yet hot!
What are you reading?
I have a long list of half read books on my kindle that I plan to complete!
Favourite summer treat?
Fresh fruit always!
Favourite Holiday Destination?
I love the hinterland of Byron Bay. I’ve always been a mountains view vs ocean view girl, the hinterlands are just superb and so serene.
Favourite Summer Memory?
Summer holidays in Australian country towns mean you will almost certainly bump into some wildlife when you least expect it! Last year we had a snake in the gardens of the house we were staying, usually its giant lizards or frogs. It sends my kids into shrieks of terror but I love it!
Favourite Summer Drink?
Iced coffee!
Summer Must Haves?
A comfy wide brim sunhat and a good book! That's literally all I need...
Where will we find you this summer?
I’ll be staying with family in the Mornington Peninsula. Beautiful beaches, restaurants (Tedesca & Montalto are favourites) & great local produce (the chocolate covered strawberries at Tully’s are next level!).
What is your ideal summer day?
No alarm, slow walk down to the beach (with an iced latte pick up en route!), BBQ for lunch & an afternoon nap. And maybe some beach cricket too!
What are you reading?
Currently reading Meet The Parents by Emily Shiner - I can’t put it down!
Favourite summer treat?
It’s hard to go past Fish & Chips! Particularly from Fish By Moonlite in Anglesea.
Favourite Holiday Destination?
Mornington Peninsula or Great Ocean Road!!
Favourite Summer Memory?
I grew up staying in Fairhaven every summer holiday with my family, with regular trips to the general store to buy lollies & a trip to A La Grecque in Aireys Inlet to mark the end of Summer before we went back to school!
Favourite Summer Drink?
Always an iced latte! Although on super hot days (think 40+) it’s got to be a Slurpee from 7-11! Cola & Raspberry always!
Summer Must Haves?
Mecca Tinted Lip Balm with SPF, Mario Badescu Facial Spray & a classic black bikini!
Holly | Customer Experience Lead
Camping, laying in the sun, swimming in the ocean & adventuring the Great Ocean Road.
