Chic House Plants, Wiggle Studs and Fluffy Breakfast Carbs
A bunch of cool stuff as recommended by your favourite Sophies.
It’s Friday, aren’t we glad?
This week, we're debating whether the fiddle leaf fig tree trend is over (it is, according to SoMo, SORRY), where to find the best crumpets (in Syd + Melb, according to SoRo), cliches in marriage and relationships (it happens) and what to watch when you're hungover on the couch (we have two choices).
