RT & Giaan Rooney - All Things Mum and Beyond
By Rebecca Thompson - April 30, 2018
What do you admire the most about your mum? My Mum had no reference point in her own life on how to be a good Mum, so she made a conscious decision to be the best Mum she could be when she had kids. I have so much respect for the love she gave my brother & I, considering she didn’t have a lot to go on in her own childhood. What is something about yourself you've learnt from being a mum? I have learnt so much about myself since becoming a Mum, some good, some not so good... I have learnt th ...

RT & Catriona Rowntree - All Things Mum and Beyond
By Rebecca Thompson - April 30, 2018
What do you admire the most about your mum? Where do I begin? My Mum is a classic Leo who is determined to care not only for her own pride, but for all those around her. How a woman so small can have such a fantastic cooking repertoire; place no pressure on her children other than ‘just do what makes you happy’; the importance of good manners and community spirit and just be such a pocket rocket. Mum has me totally in awe. What is something about yourself you've learnt from being a mum? Th ...

Garment Care
By Rebecca Thompson - January 30, 2018
Before I was a designer I was a fashion agent, and before this I was an excellent shopper with all this “fashion experience” under my belt I know a lot about how to care and look after your investment pieces The biggest mistake we make is over washing our clothes. I really believe unless there is a real reason to wash items then don’t. Smells and stains, yes perfectly acceptable reason for washing, worn twice is not a valid reason. I often get asked in the store how to care for our clothes ...

Hello Spring!
By Rebecca Thompson - October 29, 2017
Hello Spring. Thrilled to have you here. You’re definitely my favourite season. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to wake up to a chill-free bedroom. Where I can skip (not dance the freezing scuttle) down the hall to make my morning brew and feel the warmth of the floorboards from the sun under my feet. No more multiple layer on layer, day dressing. Just one layer (or two for us Melbournians) and you’re set. Spring time allows me to walk my son to school. Past the beautiful manicured g ...
