Still obsessed with this issue of @elleaus even though I read it front to back and upside down a million times before it went to print. (Any mistakes, I don’t want to know about them.) - @divyavnkt on your new Italian style muse - @luciannetonti introduces your new sustainable shopping coach @andreacheong_ - @kat_madd on the power of being single - @kaylaw in conversation with Elle and Dakota Fanning (and one of my favourite headlines) - @sarahnoonan_ wrote a lovely profile on @phoebejtonkin - @arabella_peterson on the pros and cons of friendship therapy - like me, @elle_hunt is a big fan of having siblings - @nonireginato discovers the girls who want to live forever too - @annalisaferraris telling all the leo babies how to host their winter birthdays - and our wonderful, creative, brilliant fashion editor @jordanboorman is leaving us for London, so we asked her for her styling tips before she goes Heaps more to come in another post - or you could just buy it because it’s out now

Marie Claire’s May issue ft. the great Louise Milligan; the A-Z of Life’s Silly and Serious Pleasures (thank you to my expert source @jackpyee ); Dee Salmin wondering what’s up with the straight women; how age-verification laws are impacting female content creators; the new Amy Shark; Sarah Pidgeon on life after Love Story; and it was my turn to take on the Chic For Under $500 challenge ($0.22 change). Plus lots lots more that makes for great algorithm-, notification- and back-light-free weekend reading @marieclaireau

Could think of worse places to babysit 🌴🍹☀️

Our March issue marks two years since we relaunched ELLE! A tiny but passionate team fuelled by (lots of) wine and junk food and a love for telling stories in print. Here’s to many more deadlines being celebrated with champagne and fries 🍾🍟 @elleaus

Two weeks in Nepal c/o the most amazing hosts @_rubenshrestha & @zana1149 . So lucky 💫

There’s literally no point in taking photos of the sunset or sunrise over the Himalayas. But still…

Since you’re not celebrating Australia Day, you have plenty of time to read magazines! Here’s the best of the new ELLE and marie claire, cropped awkwardly so you can’t read it from your phone and have to go and buy a copy: @elleaus - Maeve Galea’s helpful guide to the nepo baby class of 2026 - Lockout laws are done, Sarah Noonan reminds us how to dress for after dark - Victoria Pearson brilliantly untangling my incoherent brief that basically said “monoculture - something? Can you do?” - Lucy Dacus at the Opera House (!!) - Maeve’s impossibly hard It girl quiz that keeps telling me I’m Lauren Sánchez Bezos - Huge horoscope guide for 2026 - Our cover star Jessie Buckley profiled by one of my favourite writers, Véronique Hyland - Our gorgeous ELLE Man, Felix Mallard - Divya Venkataraman on brain health as the new wellness frontier - Michelle Wang maps out the best east coast gallery roadtrip @marieclaireau - Madison Griffiths also knows how to take a vague brief (“women in love with AI, thoughts?”) and turn it into a brilliant and non-judgemental report on love, technology, loneliness and heterofatalism - Hannah Warren on the nightmare of having chronic insomnia - Sherele Moody counts Australia’s dead women. A confronting and important read - Rachel Hagan’s first-hand report on Syria’s beauty industry post-Assad regime - Cleo Glyde’s cover profile of the stunning Pia Whitesell 🍷

I spoke to the very cool, very funny, very humble Odessa A’zion about Marty Supreme, I Love LA and what it was like meeting Gwyneth for the January issue of @elleaus , out in the wild now

Could have filled the whole magazine going on and on about how amazing this trip to South Korea was thanks to @vancleefarpels and @mau_rz . In the new @marieclaireau with the brilliant Rose Byrne on the cover
