What we're loving in March
Hello Autumn! Team RD is prepping for the cooler months with some swoon-worthy outerwear, self development reads & a special birthday ...

A book I was cynical about but am reading now is The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. I thought it would be a fad self help book but it turns out it's more than that. I can now understand why so many people have had the term ‘let them’ tattooed onto their body. Its a message that is so powerful in understanding how to take back your power and control how you respond/behave to create your own destiny (sounds woo-woo but its true)!
I am travelling to Vietnam this month for the first time ever! While its predominantly a work trip, I’m excited to soak in some of the local culture (and food) while I’m there over a few days next week. I’m also looking forward to travelling sans kids and having some me time - I've booked in an extra day to lie by the pool and do my own thing which I’m looking forward to.
I just had my birthday (I’m a pisces baby) and said no to all presents! It was my best birthday yet. I took away the pressure to have to respond to ‘what gifts did you get?’ the day after and focused on what I really wanted to fill my birthday with and what was meaningful to me. It was a picnic in the botanical gardens with my family, lots of hugs and kisses with my kids, a home cooked dinner of all my favourite foods (Bolognese, apple compote, jam donuts - don't judge, I’m a simple girl! ) and catching up with my closest friends. I genuinely felt so happy the entire day and just plain grateful to have the people in my life around me who I love so much.

I can't believe Autumn is finally here! Although Melbourne is having a bit of a heat wave at the moment (every day is 30 degrees + this week!!), I am so excited for the days to start cooling down a little! I do love Autumn/Winter dressing over Summer/Spring. Bring on layers, soft knits & gorgeous outerwear. I am obsessed with everything Nour Hammour, and am particularly in love with the Barn Jacket. I know it will be a forever piece!
March is a very exciting month as we finally launched some new iterations on our classic Allard Ottoman & Vernier Side Tables - the Allard Bench & Vernier Tabac Collection. I am IN LOVE with the Allard Bench, it's the perfect piece for the hallway, end of the bed, extra seating in your living area... the list goes on! It's truly the most perfect, versatile piece for any home.
I am a big lover of phycological thrillers and Freida McFadden (of The Housemaid) has just released her latest book, The Crash. When I tell you I was obsessed, I think I finished it in two days! It had so many twists & turns, I never knew what was coming next!

While summer is undoubtedly my favourite season, I’m starting to crave those crisp, cozy days wrapped in layers! I recently came across the Bowie Blazer and instantly fell in love. Its silhouette brings an interesting twist to the classic blazer, adding just the right amount of edge and sophistication.
I have been eagerly waiting for the Tabac Round Vernier Side Table to arrive and I'm so glad I have... It was absolutely worth the wait! The dark chocolate colour brings such depth and character to a space. She’s an absolute beauty, and I couldn’t be more obsessed!
I’m currently on a journey to deepen my understanding of health, with a particular focus on my gut health. I recently eliminated gluten and dairy from my diet and I am honestly blown away by the way I am feeling (and looking) as a result of this. I just ordered The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer MD and I am so looking forward to getting stuck into this!
