When our fave couple, Jade Jeffries and Jeff Lack decided to pack up their bags and move to Byron Bay, we caught up to find out what a day in the life looks like.

We’re known for following these two around the world, whether it’s exploring Japan or suiting up in Sydney, this iconic duo sure knows how to travel. Kitted up in their Bared kicks, we sat down with Jade and Jeff and asked them about their new chapter.

Q. Jeff & Jade, please introduce yourself.

A. Jade was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia and Jeff is a local Byron boy. We both met in the bustling city of Sydney four and a half years ago and we are now residing in a beautiful home in the Byron Shire.

Q. Tell us about the work you do and what your day to day looks like.

A. Our morning ritual is to enjoy coffee in bed together everyday, I make it after my morning meditation. We discuss what's on for the day and Jade's fascinating dreamscapes from the night before. Jade is heading up graphic design and photography at Auguste The Label creating digital content on the side. Jeff travels between Byron and Sydney as a freelance stylist and creative director mentoring fashion start-ups and consulting to brands. We love to prepare food together in the evenings and eat whilst the sunsets over the hinterland. The weekends are spent between markets, the ocean and waterfalls. The pace is slow, which suits our easy-going nature.

Q. You recently made the move to Byron Bay, what inspired the move and what are your top 3 places to visit in Byron this holiday season?

A. We had planned to move up here in mid to late 2021 for family reasons. When COVID hit, we fast tracked that move. Top 3 places in Byron are:

1. Coffee at Folk
2. Sunset at Wategos
3. Dinner at Mez Club

Q. How would you describe your summer style?

A. Flowing loose light layers, it is rather humid here so practical and functional style over fashion.

Q. And of course, your must-have Bared shoes for summer?

A. We're both living in our Bared sneaks, Jade in the Hornbill and Jeff in the Sulphur sneakers.

Q. What does 2021 look like for you?

A. We have decided to travel in our home AUSTRALIA and focus on family. 2020 taught us how much we can take for granted and just how lucky we are to live in Australia, so 2021 will be celebrating the simple things in life.
