The fragrance experts at Jo Malone have got you covered for gifts this Christmas. We’ve been sent Starlit Mandarin & Honey and Orange Bitters, two divine scents reminiscent of sweet fruit and warm summer days.
“I kept saying I love the moody winter vibes, and the day definitely provided! It rained from start to finish, and we loved every part of it! We had so much fun taking photos in the rain, having umbrellas break on us with strong gusts of wind, and almost getting stuck in the mud on multiple occasions. We love the funny memories we have about our perfectly imperfect day, and we wouldn’t change a thing!”

Liam is a commercial plumber and although studying graphic design and university, I currently work as a Pharmacy Assistant. We both love exploring small towns and their shops, we love looking through antique stores, finding hidden gem cafes and spending time with our two border collies. I (Ashleigh) love spending time in my garden at home and Liam loves his golf. We love nothing more than sitting back after a long week with Saturday night take-away and watching our favourite shows.

Matt and I are quite similar with heaps of shared interests, particularly design. We both have architectural degrees and work for the same architecture firm in Wellington. I am baffled that we didn’t cross paths with each other at University, because we were in the same year group. We now work for the same architecture practice in Wellington. This is how we met… a workplace romance!

December has hit so we thought it perfect timing to talk about perfumes that have caught our attention of late. Whether it be for Christmas gifting, Christmas events, your wedding day or just because you love fragrance as much as we do, below is a curated edit showing a beautifully diverse collection of scents.
With a very much anticipated Summer wedding season on the horizon and invitations for garden soirées and beachside celebrations filing our letterboxes, we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate once again with friends and family.
But alongside the warmer weather comes the question; which bridal gowns are best suited to a hot summers day? We sure think we’ve found the answer, with a gorgeous range of sheer fabrics, breezy cutouts and shorter hemlines to take you from your mid-day beach ceremony through to your warm evening dance floor. Take a look at Together Journal’s ‘Best Of’ summer wedding gowns below.
Married life hasn’t really changed us. We’ve been each other’s family for nearly a decade, so have found our groove. We know how lucky we are.
