Bathbombs are a great pasttime of mine. As a child, it was an exciting experience all about the fizzies and pretty colours, but as I’ve become older it’s become a vital part of my self-soothe routine for when the world gets too much. Not all of us can afford the…

Happy weekend! Here’s our third Undone Book Club book: The Folded Clock, A Diary, by Heidi Julavits. I spend hours each month searching reviews and websites for just the right UBC book (see some others that made the shortlist below) and I’d looked at this title a few times but…

On Saturday afternoon a group of about 30 flower-lovin’ ladies got together in the divine setting of Mildred&Co (formerly a mechanic’s workshop, currently an event space and showroom for the most fabulous edit of gifts you’ll ever see, like, 4000 nice things) to sip bubbles, eat cake and create –…
Those who know me (Josie, Undone Editor) know one of my absolute favourite things in all the world is hotel rooms. Big, small, luxe, shabby, with or without views, as long as there’s clean sheets on the bed, there’s nothing I love more than locking the door on the world and…
The wooden desk with the sheepskin shape behind it is actually Joe and Chris’ working table. It’s the most perfect little corner you could ever want to work at. The weaving station with the loom belongs to Chris. He’s amazing at what he does and if I could afford to…

(Purely by coincidence, the wonderful Natalie was also the designer of Undone Journal… Oh and also, Whitney has also been an Undone model… Love…
