And soon we will be able to share with you our brand new 'Las Palmas' collection perfect for the warmer weather ahead! Not from the Southern Hemisphere? Don't sweat, think of our new tropical collection as a slice of Summer to wear around your neck, wrist & fingers year round, stoked! Palm Tree's in NYC snow? Amazing.

Well, this is me, Rosie and the creator behind all this delicious jewellery. Something I have been really excited about with launching our blog is getting to share with you a real 'Behind-the-scenes' look at what we get up to on a daily basis and what goes into creating each & every beautiful La Luna Rose piece. Over the next few months I want to share with you the stories of our makers, our processes and how our designs come to fruition.

I first met Stu from BNVVT three and half years ago over a few Bintangs & a sunset down at our local Berawa beach in Bali. We instantly bonded over our shared experiences of moving to the island to design & launch e-commerce businesses.... and the ups & downs that this brought!

Our Bintang sessions quickly became a regular occurrence and the rest is history. Stu is one talented man who creates some beautiful leather products (that I only wish I could look as stylish pulling them off!) An avid believer in daily balance, we recently sat down with Stu to hear more about building his Leather Accessories empire on the island of Bali...

I'm not going to lie, as soon as Winter hits I turn on hibernation-mode and bake the house down. Today I came across this recipe here as I have an abundance of blueberries in the freezer at the moment. And whilst I do LOVE a good blueberry smoothie, these cookies were a sure fine way to use up some 'leftovers'! Best described as 'Crispy muffin tops', get prepared for your new favourite blueberry snack..., these guys are more-ish until the last bite!

We made it! After 2 months in the tropics, avoiding temperatures below 20 degrees, we are back in our Australian home town of Melbourne for the Finders Keepers Design Markets this weekend and couldn't be more excited!

If you havn't already heard of it, The Bali Bible is the 'go-to' guide or visual fish-bait when one is planning or dreaming of their next trip to the island of Bali. Keeping up with all things new, hip & happening on the island, you one stop guide 'The Bali Bible' has you covered. Recently we had a chance to catch up with Rosie Pattinson, a writer from the online blog/social media account. Go and grab a cup of tea and warm up with this island-inspiring interview.

Enough said. We first discovered the work of Katie 3 years ago when we launched La Luna Rose & havn't looked back. Her work is something so special & unique it's hard to forget once you come across her beautiful & colourful masterpieces!

Sourced over many lunch & dinner dates with friends over the past 4 years, we look forward to sharing our best eats on the island of Bali with you. Each week (or so...Island time remember?) we will bring to you a new delicious offering to try on your next visit to the island.

These bad boys are not only a treat on the eyes but for the palette to! Guaranteed 'oooooh' factor, these raw apertisers will keep your guests coming back for more...
