Our top finds of the week

Homes: Jessica Helgerson Interior Design
‘Tiny House’ is a lesson in how to be clever with a small space. Belonging to interior designer, Jessica Helgerson, this pretty country cottage in Portland, USA, is only 50sqm and was built using reclaimed materials. It’s a model of how to live simply and with a teeny environmental footprint.

Food: Finger, Fork & Knife
When life gives you lemons… make these delicious lemon marmalade, pistachio and meringue biscuits. This recipe makes a little more marmalade than you need, so what’s left over can go straight into a (sterilised) jar to do breakfast duty later on.

Travel: What Katie Ate
I’ve featured popular blogger Katie Quinn Davies in this column before but I just couldn’t not share this simply stunning photo series from her recent five-week holiday to Europe and the UK. As she says, it is the “mother of all posts” and takes you on a vivid and virtual tour of the Amalfi Coast, Bologna, Venice, London and Dublin. To say this is beautiful is an understatement.

Fashion: Inez Daily
Now this is exciting. Australian fashion director and stylist Inez Garcia recently launched this insider’s shopping guide for busy women. It’s like having your own stylist on call 24/7. I love the site’s simplicity and style – and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Inspiration: Home Designing
Spring’s so close you can smell it. The air is thick with blossom and jasmine, and flowers are set to bloom in abundance. This is a pretty guide to spring flower arranging. Just looking at it brings a smile to your face.
