Erin has been a friend of Lovestar for many years now. We're thrilled to be able to kick of this new series by taking a peak inside her beautifully curated and stylish world.
The last couple of years have seen a plethora of changes in the way we live- some good, some not so good- but if there was one thing the many hours of lockdown gave us, it was spare time. For many, this spare time provided the chance to explore hobbies and projects outside of their 9-5’s. For Erin Donati, it was a time to take on new opportunities with her own business.

The Darling Assembly was born in 2014, as a side hustle/creative outlet for Erin as she completed her graphic design degree. 7 years on, Erin describes TDA as ‘an umbrella for all of my creative endeavours’. When reflecting on the last 12 months, she explains she was able to continue working with long-term clients, as well as explore new relationships with other fellow creatives- “a lot of my work was with people who were finally launching the businesses they had dreamed of for years, so to be a small part of that was really nice”.

When she’s not creating content for TDA or at her Monday-Friday marketing role, Erin is busy juggling home life with her 2 young boys, hubby, and their adorable dachshund, Harper. When asked of her current go-to trends for all things fashion/interiors, Erin broke it down for us; “broadly speaking, my home and fashion choices are based in comfort, functionality and ease of cleaning (the result of having two kids), but trend-wise I am loving the explosion of pastels everywhere”.
Styling for home and interiors, Erin is a big fan of starting with neutral tones as a base, and adding warmth through mixing colours, textures and patterns. “Another trend that I am very much on board with is the idea of conscious consumption. Buying mindfully, and locally where possible. It’s one trend that I really hope continues long term." We couldn't agree more...

Erin has been a longstanding supporter of Lovestar, and believes “you can never have too many plants, and you can never have too many vases filled with beautiful flowers”. We always look forward to seeing her styling approach to each of her Lovestar pieces, and her most recent addition of the gorgeous Shell vase did not disappoint. Erin was drawn to the Shell’s ocean/underwater feel, and says she immediately thinks of “anthuriums or orchids in pastel colours”. She says she loves the way the Shell has beauty both on its own, and even more so when filled with fresh flowers. Check out how Erin styles some of her Lovestar favourites...
