Things We Love

I'm such a sucker for beautiful books, and I'm such a visual person - I like to drink things in with my eyes. So I've fallen pretty hard for this delightful little book called "Things We Love - Kate Spade New York". It's filled with gorgeous things that the Kate Spade in-house creative team have collected together for inspiration and put into this clutch-sized keepsake. It's like a book version of a mood board.











The bad news is... the article where I discovered this book was dated 2010, and I can't seem to find anywhere you can buy a copy now. The good news is... there is a new version due to be published in January 2013 featuring 20 years of inspiration, intriguing bits and other curiosities. I'm going to pre-order mine now!

Glitter and Sparkle

My seven year old daughter was doing her spelling homework yesterday, and she has to write a sentence using each of her words. "What's 'sequin' Mum?" she asked. "Oh babe!", I replied, "Every girl needs to know about sequins! Hang on, I'll show you". I knew I had a gorgeous photo of a gold sequin top in one of my Pinterest folders. Her eyes lit up when I showed her, and then she wrote the sentence... "I really want a sequin top." :D

 As a typical girly girl, I love all things that glitter and sparkle, so in honour of Luca's homework I have gathered together a few gorgeous sparkly finds. I too really want a sequin top, and a sequin clutch, and most definitely that beautiful Michael Kors watch (I hope the present fairies are listening).

Heart Home

I've just been reading the latest issue of Heart Home, and what a cracker! Most definitely the highlight for me was the interview with Tricia Guild OBE, founder and creative director of Designers Guild. She is one of my idols, and provided me with my very first introduction to bright, vibrant colour and pattern in the world of interiors. I love her quote in the article... "People say you are what you eat, but I think you are what you see - being open to the world around you means you are open to inspiration".

 Pop over and see how she spends her day, and enjoy all the other goodness Heart Home has brought to us. Here is a little sneak peek...
