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…

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.” – Walt Whitman The mind of the twenty-something is in a permanent state of disarray. Where to go. What to do. Who to love. When to stay. When to go. You will go mad…

Meet our latest Undone Girl Pia and stay tuned for her DIY life tips and clever how-to guides on Undone Journal… I’m pretty awkward and clumsy most of the time. A usual day involves getting up and having some freshly ground coffee, painstakingly choosing an outfit for the day, going…
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…
Whilst doing a stint at an interiors magazine a while back I came across ‘Whare In The Bush‘, an architectural and building project led by four awesome young women, Elisapeta Heta, Raukura Turei, Rebecca Green and Ruby Watson – to design and build from scratch a delightful, functional cabin in the…
Taurus 21 April – 21 May Taurus is a fixed, feminine earth sign ruled by Venus – the Roman goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. Very much like the goddess, the typical Taurus possesses a penchant for luxury and, should circumstances allow, revels in delicious excess. With a natural creative…
Meet our latest Undone Girl Lucy and check in monthly for her incredible artwork and cool horoscopes on Undone Journal… Two years ago I left my 9-5 graphic design gig in pursuit of my first love – drawing. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to illustrate on projects such as Into the Gloss, The Denizen,…
Flux, n. The natural state. Our moods change. Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this. It seems appropriate, given the arrival of autumn, to consider how we…

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…

This post follows on from yesterday’s – Fe-Archia – and is an excerpt, written by Whitney Nicholls-Potts, with images by Ashley Church, from the Fe-Archia archives. (Purely by coincidence, the wonderful Natalie was also the designer of Undone Journal… Oh and also, Whitney has also been an Undone model… Love…
