As I gear up for my trip to the Big Apple in August for our US launch, I thought I would share my top 5 travel tips with you guys...

Morocco... I’ve travelled your length and visited your people, artisans, nomads, farmers and hand crafters and now I’ve landed in your epicentre Marrakesh for my big finale.

To think I will soon be wandering in Souks, sleeping in Medina's and sharing smiles with new faces fuels my soul...

Each year usually in February I am lucky enough to travel to Hong Kong for 'work'. I use the term 'work' loosely because even though I am technically there working... it feels more like I am on an uplifting holiday as Hong Kong literally fuels my creative soul.

Packing for short inspo trips is always a challenge, albeit one that I love and so I thought I would share a few tips I have picked up over the years.

For years I have been taking fabric and having missing pieces of my wardrobe whipped up by local tailors in Bali. In fact you’ve all been asking me for tips to a successful make so here they are...

All over Indonesia, artisans are using traditional tools to create and hand make amazing clothing, leather goods, homewares products. Every time I visit I am in awe of the skill of the people who grow up within creative families, people who surprisingly believe that creating with your hands is something just anyone can do.

I felt really emotional during my recent work trip to Honkers (the inner poet in me even made an appearance!)

Bali is an assault on all senses… the food is some of the best anywhere in the world (in my opinion) and the skill of the Balinese artists blows me away every time I am there.

There are some things you realize that you lose sight of until you remove yourself from the everyday.

After a particularly full on year in business, Mr Uber and I realised that if we didn’t take ourselves away from the everyday stuff for a little while – we would never get a chance for a break or an opportunity to recharge and reassess our mindset.

For our latest photoshoot we headed to the idyllic coastal haven of Byron Bay. The morning mist of the Pacific Ocean, the picturesque sands of Broken Head, and the warm autumn sunshine created the perfect setting for our barefoot bohemian styled shoot, featuring local ladies and their families enjoying their little piece of paradise.

I want to share with you how to build your perfect wardrobe and how to design and have made some key pieces that will last you throughout your life.
