0 house envy: dvf/wow

pic: CFDA

imagine having a house big enough for a library/sitting room like that! diane von furstenberg lives here and boy is it beautiful. while i can appreciate her clothes, they are not my style (i am of the belief that wrap dresses do not suit everyone - contrary to what she says) but i can appreciate her interior style and luckily she does design homewares...

all at once might be a bit much but piece by piece it's pretty good. i especially love the gold cutlery

and finally, the dvf store in new york - the space on top is Diane's room...

0 malene birger/life and work

i bought Malene Birger's 'life and work' coffee table book a while ago and what a beauty! it captures her multiple residences and eponymous shop. it must be bloody cold to warrant that much fur...

0 house envy: bugs/bathroom/tokyo

pics: theselby

the tokyo home of katsuya kamo - hairstylist on the selby. that bathroom is bliss - mind you it looks like it would be cold in winter. the bug filled walls are also pretty amazing but i can imagine my skin crawling everytime i walked past them. peep the rest of his place here...

0 bed/lounge vignettes

another theme that has come out of my iphoto is room snippets. i like them because they are usually small, busy spaces, full of texture and colour and i immediately get a sense of someone's style in that one moment

0 your telly looks good

pics: theselby, lonnymag, ruemag

i think a t.v looks best camouflaged in a bookshelf - and wall mounting comes in a close second - mine used to be neither but it's now wall mounted and looks so much better. i feel like it gets less dusty but maybe that's just because i cant really reach it anymore...

p.s don't you love how they've styled the t.v channels?! (i might just be guilty of doing that with my mac in the study)

0 office

pics: HBP, ruemag, lonnymag

i love how it's totally acceptable and more stylish for an office to be a little cluttered/messy. while mine (pictured top left) is still very neat it has more stuff on it than anywhere else in my place, it looks better lived in.

3 whowhatwear/coveteur

pics: thecoveteur

two of my regular haunts, the coveteur and who what wear, together at last. for those unfamiliar, the coveteur peeps inside stylish people's places and who what wear tells us who wears what and where you can get it (genius), this collab takes us inside the offices of WWW and what an office! notice those orange lacquer boxes seen in nicky hiltons home?

1 toys

there is not much i love more than an art toy, give me kaws, steiff x lagerfeld, munny and dunny, kidrobot, qee and the holy grail - the chanel bearbrick. you will already be aware of my obsession from my header (thank you visionaire). take a look at pharrell's condo in miami - minor obsession...

5 bag/prada/saffiano/black/gold/double zip action

pic: carolinesmode

i was in prada last weekend with hannah looking for my wedding shoes (found them in miu miu in the end but of course they were sold out in my size and of course i couldn't even find them on shopstyle! so the search goes on) when both hannah and i fell in love with this bad boy (pictured). it's so delicious and big but it's also $2500. i tried to convince hannah to buy it saying she'd be a fool not to snap it up immediately and that she deserved it and hadn't bought a significant bag for ages so i could get vicarious pleasure, but she didn't capitulate and ever since i have seen this bag on mass, even one in the lift in my apartment building - i was staring so much she hid it from me and turned the other way (good move). 

perhaps i can put it on our wedding registry? (joke, AHS)...

0 afrique du sud

pics: designteamfabrics

i was having an eensy peruse in coco republic yesterday when i spied this fuchsia african map fabric. it comes from south africa from a company called 'design team' helmed by two women who say they are "influenced and inspired by the colours, nature, people and ever changing social dynamics of our country". my pick is the 'towns' fabric in white coral cotton. locally, they can be sourced via their agents in mosman, sydney (rossetti fabrics)

0 MKO

pics: harpers australia, whowhatwear

i love a bit of MKA style stalking, especially lately with their eponymous crocodile handbags, classic separates and covetable accessories. i am also curious about what their house looks like, how they've styled it, i imagine lots of fur and masculine furniture. oh to have a billion dollars...

2 centenera/celine

pics: stockholm streetstyle, styleslice, jakandjil

i caught the lift with christine centenera earlier this year (the company i work for has offices in the same building as Harpers) - she wore a marant fur (pictured above) wet hair and not a scrap of makeup and she still looked like the most chic person on the planet. do you think she gets an insane discount on celine? and why doesn't she ever carry a bag?

looking through an old inspiration folder i found these pics of stylist Pippa Holt's apartment. i think i tore them from a 2008 Vogue Australia - 3 years on and i still love it! i hope that means I'm not as fickle with interior style as i was am with fashion...
