Erin and James are off jet-setting to Europe this month so this was a fantastic excuse to plan a capsule travel wardrobe. We will share some of the makes on the blog but also follow along on our Instagram for all the outfit updates. The first make featuring on the trip in London is the Adrift Shift by Gracie Steel in Faces Canvas from Spotlight.

Jingle all the way with matching family Christmas outfits! 🎄✨
Ho, ho, ho! Sending you a sleighful of Merry Christmas cheer from our festive family to yours!
If you’ve been following our creative escapades over the past few merry years, you’re in on our jolly family tradition. But if you’re a newbie to our yuletide adventures, welcome to the holly-jolly club! Drumroll, please… it’s time to unveil one of our all-time favourite family customs: the annual creation of matching Christmas outfits.
This tradition is as timeless as Santa’s naughty-or-nice list. Picture this: our Nan crafting Christmas shirts and dresses for our Grandad and parents before we knew the joy of unwrapping presents! If you have been following along for a few years you might, just might recognise these outfits. If not then enjoy! The fabric was purchased from Spotlight in about 2017 and sat waiting for two years before we made them into matching family Christmas outfits. This year there was enough fabric to create James a shirt and Fergus a bow tie.
So, here’s to family, festivities, and fashionable echidnas! May your Christmas be as bright and merry as our outfits. 🎅🎁✨
