Hey hey, my name is Lucy, I’m 19 years old and I am currently studying at Swinburne University for a double degree in business and design! I work at Little Cactus when I’m not studying, and hanging out with my beautiful team and customers in the store. Living the dream! 

My favourite new project that I began near the end of 2022 is my new jewellery business called Olly Love Milly.

As we welcome the long awaited warm weather and get ready to embrace spring, it’s time to get excited about the upcoming spring fashion ideas. Out with the cold and in with your new favourite clothing pieces you need for a spring wardrobe dreams are made of! 

Ready to explore the boutique wineries Yarra Valley but haven’t found that dream winery outfit? Perhaps you’re travelling south to Mornington Peninsula for a taste of their red wine, distinguished for their pinot noir, but are missing that cosy winter winery outfit.

Sit back, enjoy the the high quality, cool climate wines Melbourne wineries have to offer with our Little Cactus dress picks below! 

With the ‘tired season’ upon us, it is normal to feel cooped up at home and start doing less outdoor activities than usual. 

To keep spirits high and give yourself something positive to enjoy during the cold, working on creating a home that is calming and a sanctuary space to love during the cooler months is essential. 

I am a proud mum, wife, professional ceramic artist and lover of nature and I’m very fortunate to live along the Mullum Mullum Trail, close to incredible flora and fauna. This inspires me in every capacity of my life, including Art. 

With summer outfits well and truly packed away, now is the perfect time to prepare a winter capsule wardrobe you can use for years and years to come (and never have the stress of being unprepared for winter again!). 

One day can’t express how much you love the Mother in your life, but the right mothers day gift can make her feel so special! 

We’ll save you the hassle of stressing about what to get. 

Little Cactus have put together the perfect gift ideas for every type of Mum; whether she’s a bit of a fashionista, the laid back type or the outdoorsy kind - there’s a gift in store for every Mum at Little Cactus. 

Looking for things to do in Melbourne this autumn? It may be getting colder outside but there’s still time to explore and enjoy the great outdoors, especially around the leafy north eastern suburbs.

Fashion has been taken on a whirlwind of a journey throughout the last two years. Trends including comfy and fashionable loungewear became all the rage, and on the opposite end of the spectrum vivid colours and patterns were ultra popular as a reflection of the overall feeling of optimism post lockdowns.

As we come to the close of another year it is easy to focus on the finish line and then we all take a huge sigh of relief! The Christmas hustle and bustle has hit us as we all re-emerged from lockdown and our social calendar is filled once again uniting with family and friends we’ve missed.

How do you recognise the start of the holiday season? Is it when you pull out the Christmas Tree and gather the ornaments and decorations? Or perhaps it’s like us when my husband drags the boxes of fairy lights out of storage and begins to cover the house and yard with all things flickering, merry and bright!

The allure of Summer means more to us than ever as we remain in lockdown and under restrictions. We are celebrating this month the promise of what is to come with a focus on entertaining and Christmas with family and friends just around the corner.
