My fave style would be the Frida dress. I love how dramatic the print placement is and the fact that it’s been a best seller confirms how much our Bazaar Babes love to be extra!

I adore the Monaco skirt in night fever. We have never done a fitted longer length skirt before and I find it super flattering, sophisticated and edgy.

I love the Happy Hour podcast for a bit of lighthearted comical relief from the gals after a busy day of work and mumming.

Libby - Operations Manager
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
The Frida dress - obsessed with the print placement down the centre and the retro poet style sleeves. It’s such a flattering dress that’s a little bit glam!

My favourite style is the Eternity dress in sage. I just love the casual ’70s folk smock feel about it - so easy to wear!
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
Reading: Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens for the second time - it’s so beautifully written, it really teleports me to the scenes of the story. Listening to: Offline with Alison Rice - she interviews some really interesting and diverse people. Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki for the lols. Watching: I recently just finished The Undoing on Binge. All about a psychological thriller!

Longer days and not having to wear jumpers all the time.

The Frida dress - Aside from being named after my favourite artist! The cut and colourway combo is vibrant and flattering.

I have actually loved listening to the Darling, shine! Podcast lately. The way they support each other and talk openly about experiences women go through is so admirable.

I like when the evenings start to warm up enough to go for night time swims.
Kat - Social Media & Marketing Co-ordinator
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
I love the Austin skivvy in honeybee. Nothing says I’m from the psychedelic ‘60s more than a turtleneck and I’m all about that!
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
I’ve been listening to the Expanded podcast with Lacey Phillips. It’s all about manifesting your dream life and I find it really inspiring! I recently watched Fantastic Fungi on Netflix and it blew my mind. It reminded me just how magical the universe truly is.
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
I’m looking forward to longer days so that I can catch the sunset after work. And having more picnics wearing pretty dresses with straw hats.
Anna - Production
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
The Maisie dress, I love the colour and the fit is perfect! I don't love super fitted styles so the Maisie is perfect because it's flattering without being oversized. I also love the print placement in the belt.

Modern Love on Amazon Prime! The last episode of season one had me balling!! Can't wait for season two!
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
Warmer weather, its my favourite time of the year!
Shannon - Customer Service
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
I absolutely love the Jagger jumpsuit in wild thing! It looks like an authentic retro print and the colour scheme makes me feel like I’ve literally been sucked into a sugar land.
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
I am currently reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy and it’s crazy to think it was written nearly 80 years ago now! Everyone needs a fantasy novel to escape from reality every now and then.
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
I’m looking forward to gardening! Watching all the spring flowers bloom and insects come out makes my heart sing. It’s truly magic to watch something you’ve worked towards for months and months blossom and provide for wildlife.
Jess M - Customer Service
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
My favourite style from Sugarland is the Jagger jumpsuit. It’s a piece sure to transcend anyone back in time, especially in the retro wild thing colourway. I love how versatile the long neck tie is, the open back, fitted waist and flowing pants to groove on down in.
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
An artist I’m revisiting at the moment is Karl Bang. I enjoy all of the different cultures, colours and animals that are encapsulated into each artwork. His work is timeless!
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
Spring is simply a magical season. I’m looking forward to how fresh and vibrant nature will be. I enjoy going on waterfall walks and as the weather warms up it will encourage me to go for a fresh water dip. I love to look for all the little wildflowers that pop up and when I smell the nostalgic sweet scents of Spring it sparks my creative side.
Sarsha - Customer Service
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
The Zingara dress in night fever! Anyone who knows me will also know that I can’t resist a true ‘60s mod style dress with a dramatic bell sleeve. Everything about this number, I adore! Particularly the piped collar and keyhole at the neckline, it adds such a nice touch to the frock. I can’t help but want to boogie when wearing this style- it’s one for the dance floor, that’s for sure!
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
I have actually been binge watching old ‘50s/’60s Elvis Presley films like King Creole, Viva Las Vegas and Blue Hawaii. Believe it or not this is the first time where I have taken the time to watch Mr Presley act on the big screen and boy oh boy I am glad that I now have! There’s nothing like watching vintage films with a cup of tea before bed after a long day at work...especially when it’s starring a dreamboat like the king himself!
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
Spring is my all time favourite season, so to say that I’m excited would be an understatement. To be honest I am just looking forward to riding my bike around town and it not being too chilly. My beautiful housemates and I also can’t resist basking in the sun near the river in town with a cold beer in hand- It’s definitely our afternoon ritual and Spring is certainly a fitting time to do just that.
Blossom - Customer service
What is your fave style from Sugarland and why?
My favourite style from Sugarland has to be the Jagger jumpsuit in valentine. I love how versatile the bandeau is, you can wear it in so many different ways depending on how much coverage you want. The valentine print of reds and orange just pops on you and makes you feel glowy. It hugs you in the perfect places.
What's something you're listening to, reading or watching right now?
Right now I’m so into the Happy Hour podcast. The Jagger girls are such a laugh and it’s perfect when you feel like a little company, it’s almost as though you’re in the room with a group of girlfriends catching up over a bevy.
What are you looking forward to most about Spring?
I’m most looking forward to those beach days with the ladies. The ocean is my favourite place to reset and relax - can't wait! Oh and all the beautiful flowers!
