You will come to learn rather fast that I am, and always will be a fan of the white out. But only recently have I been wanting to turn my black hole of a wardrobe into beaming white. So here are a few ideas for white outs, in the wardrobe, or in the home, complete domination of white, or just a taster. You pick.
Post by Gem//Blackbird – click here to see more of my whiteout style crush!
hello.
I am Gem. I am a wife & a stylist, a photographer & a friend, a blogger & a maker.
The ever so lovely Rachael has asked me to guest post for her…blush.
But to give you a little context to who I am, I need to go backwards, before we venture forward. After 4 years of running our business HUNTER GATHERER, my husband and I decided to take a break. This sending me running with open arms into the world of styling. I studied fashion styling which naturally progressed into my obsession with interior styling. And so was born BLACKBIRD, I am now a lost cause to the world of object, colours and shapes.
Each wednesday I will bring you a fresh post. A little window into my ever changing mind, a place where I will share my ‘get-in-my-home-or-closet’ items .
Throw in a few tips on home decorating and personal style, Fill it to bursting with images and BAM. I bring you Creme of the Crop.
To say I am a teeny bit excited about today is a little of an understatement. My hubby and I are going to Sydney for six days, he’s going for work, I’m going for sightseeing, shopping and of course catching up with some very lovely ladies while there – the perfect little break! The blog might be a little quiet for the next few days, but I’ll be sharing all of my lovely new Sydney finds on Instagram and Facebook which you’re of course more than welcome to follow. Have a fantastic week everyone, I can’t wait to see and share all wonderful sites Sydney has to offer. x
Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all had a lovely day off in remembrance for ANZAC Day yesterday and got to enjoy some delicious ANZAC Biscuits too. I’m very excited to be able to share this gorgeous Brooklyn Wedding, from the stunning hanging flowers, beautiful venue overlooking New York, the cutest little glitter pegs holding up the candid polaroids of the evening and of course the sweetest confetti favours – it really is beyond perfect! x

Oh, Autumn really is starting to settle in, the days are getting shorter, cooler and the rain has finally arrived. It’s that time of the year when you start to pull out your winter goodies from storage to set yourself up for winter, or treat yourself to something new and cozy – like a gorgeous pair of moccasin slippers, aren’t they divine!! I adore this time of the year where your bedroom becomes a little more cozy and you don’t feel bad for spending a few lazy hours curled up in bed reading a good book over the weekend while a scented candle lights the room. x

Goodness me, is anyone else feeling like this year is just slipping by – how are we almost at the end of April, thats almost surreal! I’m so sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days, I’ve been playing catchup after finishing my last stunning wedding cake for the season last weekend. So since then I’ve been chatting to some very lovely people about future baking classes and of course planning a few lovely new things for Made From Scratch that I’m really excited to share with you once everything is settled – oh and how gorgeous is this afternoon setting by This is Glamours, how perfect would all your meetings be if they were like this?! I was also incredibly flattered to be featured on the wonderful Endemic World over the weekend – if you haven’t had a look at their art work, you must, you’ll want everything in a heart beat!

Oh, I think it’s every woman’s dream to have a beautiful styled closet – the colours, patterns and of course the space is just to die for! Adore Home Magazine had the absolute honour of being invited into Megan Hess’s beautiful home and talk to her about her incredible style, tips for styling your own closet and of course her beautiful fashion illustrations – you can read the full interview here on page 40. After reading this lovely interview I had a quick peek at our wardrobe and decided on a simple change to start with – I swapped all of our old mis-matched cloths hangers to beautiful new wooden ones, it completely transformed our wardrobe into something organised and elegant. I’d love to hear about how you style your closet, be it with a beautiful piece of art, delicious candle or simply showing off your favourite pair of shoes – it’s often the simplest details that have the most impact. x
