Mother's Day - Kate
Hear from Kate, the founder and director of Darling & Domain.
Tell us about your brood....
I'm the lucky mum of Maddy 18 (our star sales assistant, gift wrapper and behind the scenes legend), Ben 16 (responsible for playlists and heavy lifting when required) and Zara 12 (talented artist and dog whisperer). Our newest baby is Luna, a one year old oodle.
What's your favourite family meal? The one everyone loves! Taco Tuesday always keeps everyone happy! Chicken, beef, fish...it doesn't seem to matter they all just love it!
The best family holiday you've ever had?
Exmouth a couple of years ago. Our first time visiting this magical place with the bonus of celebrating our good friends Holly and Brad's wedding.
Your favourite activity/board game/movie...
Our favourite family activity is a trip to the beach for a swim together. Doesn't happen as much now they are getting older!
What's your ideal Mother's Day?
Peace and quiet! I keep asking for it every year and it's never delivered!! Second best is breakfast in bed followed by a walk along the river and lunch with the family.
What's your pick for your Mother's Day Outfit this year?
Finally it's getting cooler! As a Melbourne girl I love dressing for cooler weather and I can't wait to wear the new Oncewas Nova wool skirt and top. It's a knitted set so it's super comfy but looks smart. I also love the trenches we have this season - it's hard to pick a favourite.
For my "peace and quiet" time I'm going to snuggle up with a book in my cashmere Alessandra trackies.
What's on your wishlist for Mother's Day?
I love the new collection from by charlotte. I think my favourite piece is the Sacred Jewel Topaz ring to wear alone or stacked up with other pieces.
The Cy Rocchi artworks are stunning too! I love them all but my favourite would have to be "Submerged".
