Some nice things people have said about Wee Birdy
“After we’d spent about ten or fifteen minutes composing ourselves following our first glimpse of that banner – oh, the glorious and delightful banner – it really hit us just how gorgeous this site is. We’re willing to offer a free pass on aesthetics if there’s some solid content, but Wee Birdy is the stuff of dreams and we’d have it no other way. Beyond that, the content is rich, informative and engaging, showcasing a menagerie of design, whether it be fashion, interiors, homeware or whatever else. This blog has many accolades to its name and more than deserves each one of them.
The recent blog post we most love is a guide to classic buys for this month, a piece which is as useful as it is lovely. As indicated by the title, this blog post offers suggestions on the best products to buy this summer which provide the glorious timelessness sought after by fashionistas the world over. The selections are absolutely on-point, indicating an understanding of the fashion timeline and recognition of the kinds of design which never age. Intelligence and charisma – an unbeatable combo, as always.
Let us know what you think of these excellent design blogs and their contributors – we hope you love them as much as we do. Design is a universal and ever-progressive spectrum we’re enormously proud to be a part of.”

“Incredibly cohesive: London shopping and birds-inspired design, authored by an Australian magazine writer living in London.”
“Wee Birdy is another great, stylish, well-informed blog that brings you the best of the shops and craft fairs so when you do get a chance to nip out, you know exactly what you’re looking for.”
“Dish the dirt. Fab and fun designy under-the-radar blog”
“www.weebirdy.com Sometimes it takes outsider eyes to refocus your surroundings for you. Here is a native of Sydney whose blog registers all things good/unknown about her new home, London. Wee Birdy pokes around the back streets of the city for the best shops and sights, so you don’t have to.”
“www.weebirdy.com A Sydneysider’s blog registers all things good or unknown about her new home, London.”
““Great fashion and imagery finds from one Australian journalist’s endearingly shiny view of London.”
“This beautifully written (and totally addictive) London style blog is like a wee trip to the coolest shops in the UK (minus the Qantas airfare).” - Sarah Oakes, former editor.
Featured as the “One to watch”.
Winner Pip Lincolne of Meet me at Mike’s mentions that Wee Birdy is one of her “all time favourite blogs”.
“This is one of my favourite blogs of all time - essential reading if you like lovely things; I only wish she'd blog every ten minutes. (We're going for a coffee next week - I think she may be slightly taken aback by the extent of my love). Her most recent entry is about Nathalie Lete, who it turns out is the genius that designed the Anthropologie (10 days til it opens on Regent Street, pant pant < with excitement, not as in knickers) plates I wrote about the other week. Have a look at her blog right now - it's total heaven from start to finish.”

“If you’re stuck in your chair at work and fancy a bit of armchair travelling when you’re not glued to Facebook, or are planning a trip to London, I suggest you visit this fresh-for-the-picking blog – exquisite in words and pictures. Former Sydney magazine editor, and current freelance journalist, Rebecca Lowrey Boyd and her partner are sharing a flat in London, from which she produces weebirdy.com, a blog primarily about shopping, style and beauty. The layout is gorgeous and each post is a visual treat. Rebecca’s writing is exciting, succinct and cute. Her latest post on Mrs Kibble’s Olde Sweet Shoppe gave me sugar cravings. Daily Candy, eat your heart out...”

“1. Find a subject you care about. 2. Do not ramble, though. 3. Keep it simple. 4. Have the guts to cut. 5. Sound like yourself. 6. Say what you mean to say. 7. Pity the readers. - Kurt Vonnegut With our singular focus, we don't often mention other blogs we like, but we're happy to have an opportunity to put that right in one case. Wee Birdy is an excellent design, craft and shopping blog written by the deputy shopping and style editor at Time Out London magazine, who also happens to live in Brockley. Her work has recently been celebrated by the Times, who selected it for its list of the 50 best design blogs in the world. Check it out.”

“I just came across weebirdy.com, a brilliant blog written by a former magazine editor from Sydney, who now lives in London and writes about her favorite shops and restaurants and finds in her new town....”
“Today I’d like to share my favourite blog with you. It’s called Weebirdy.com. If you think London’s a grey place to be, think again. Weebirdy introduces you to the cool and the quirky, the colourful and the mad. I’m in love. I could try to sum it all up in wordy fashion but I think the site tweets for itself. You an also follow the Top Bird behind Weebirdy on Twitter here.”

“Weebirdy is not specifically a Christmas website, but it is so lovely I couldn’t wait to share it any longer! Weebirdy is based in London and is all about everything women love: fashion, beauty, design, food, people, travel and more. One of the things that make this blogsite so special is the gorgeous photography in each entry. Look at London snowed in, visit indie shops and drool over the color and variety of the offerings. See unique handmade treasures of all kinds. Find links to places to see and things to do and read reviews of related books. It’s really a lovely read and well worth your time. Go to the site, www.weebirdy.com and type in Handmade Christmas Part 1 to see some extraordinary holiday baking ideas. Beautiful!”

- Frances Keith
“Have a look at this website for the latest on interesting little boutiques (yes, including us) around London. A brilliant source for style mavens and curious folk alike!”
- Tracey Neuls, Owner and designer, Tracey Neuls shoes
“Wee Birdy is a blog devoted to ‘shopping, style, beauty and more’. The blogger is an Australian-born freelance journalist, now living in London — and seems to know what she’s talking about when it comes to fashion. There are some great posts (and photos) on her recent trip to Paris — where she does a nice round-up of all the best places to shop.The blog looks to be relatively new but I reckon it’s going to be a winner.”

“I want to start the week peacefully. So this is a feel good post. I discovered a couple weeks ago this fabulous field guide to the good stuff in London, UK. An Australian-born freelance journalist writes Wee Birdy. Her blog is filled with local food places and indie shops.”
