October 2025: Spring Favourites and Carl Update

Hello Lovely Smitten People And Hello October 🌺 🐝

How are you all going? 

Well, we are slowly adjusting to this new reality of living in Melbourne temporarily and being with Carl as many hours a day as we can. All three kids are here too and being a huge support to me, and of course to Carl. Makes you realise how important family really is... and friends and community.

I also wanted to say Thank You all so much for the many beautiful messages of love and support for Carl- they mean so much. We feel very honoured.

He is doing so well - is now able to be up and in a wheelchair each day and has had the feeding tube removed so he can eat and drink again, such a milestone! Small pleasures!

And we've just passed Spring Equinox; Spring has started in Australia, and Fall/Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere... so embrace the change of season with whatever ritual you may have - cold water swimming perhaps?

New Spring Favourites
We do have some beautiful new colours arriving later in the month- (they are a little delayed!), and we already have some of our gorgeous Leopard print here now. If you need to add a little print excitement to your spring/summer wardrobe...

We are also doing more Smitten fabric-covered belts, handmade for us in a few of our favourite colours, have a look: Smitten Belt

They are a brilliant and easy way to style up a favourite dress you already own - add a matching belt, or a contrasting colour.

Thanks SO MUCH for being Smitten, for being a conscious slow fashion customer, for buying AUSTRALIAN MADE, and for supporting our local Tassie family business. Look after yourself, and enjoy getting out and about in the beautiful Spring sunshine having some (careful) adventures perhaps...

Love from Nic, Carl and all the Smitten team
