4 the new office

So, as I have previously stated, I need a new look for my office. Not ridiculously different but something fresh. I can't get a glossy black round/oval table out of my head (I tend to get fixated and then decorate from there). I am also in the market for an X bench upholstered in velvet or leopard (but obv if it's in my office I can't have leopard to clash with the zebra) I want something a little darker and more glam. This Chinese Chippendale chair has zoomed right up to the top of my lust list. Anyone know of a Sydney stockist? Let the fun begin!

4 office mood board

As I have previously mentioned, I feel a lot of pressure with this room in my new place. I really want something different - a new look. I am feeling a pastel - mint, lilac and pink (of course) with a fresh white backdrop and a little gold, there's always a little gold. The time is coming for me to start buying some delights to make this happen! Brass pencil holder - tick, desk - tick, rug - tick, France, not France at the framers, Praia Piquinia also at the framers, lamp from Regency Distribution is very close to being bought (I just have to make sure it's yellow gold I want) then there's the all important chair, I have been holding out hope I will find some amazing gem while traingling but I am losing hope, fingers crossed for this weekend!

I'm feeling this outfit, part 'I've just popped out for something while painting my house' part 'but I really need fab accessories to make it acceptable'. I could live in baseball tees and ripped jeans, if I could wear this to work I would. I am not very fancy when it comes to clothes, the more casual the better, hence the slip on Vans. I have asked my very kind cousin to send this Zara bad boy over (1/3 of the price in the UK) and am in the market for a new pair of sunnies, these Tom Ford Bardot's are a classic. And where would I be without a candle? This one is limited edition Yazbukey for Cire Trudon available from Net-a-porter, they describe it as a violet and leather medley - delicious

1 country road {are having a great season}

country road are having an 'on' season, after last season which was all a bit too pink (not that i don't love pink) but this one is an absolute cracker, so much so i just went and bought up a storm in hope that the cooler climes may arrive earlier than expected

3 if only

if only i had this double jersey black and white stripe tee from bassike my wardrobe would be complete. do you ever think that? if you only had that one piece it would be the key to making your whole wardrobe work? (until something else is magically that key also) i know i know, i'm kidding myself but for now, just believe me, i really want it tand it was from seasons past and they are not re cutting it in exactly the same way. new versions are all slub, navy, or black and cream, not that sharp black and white with the medium stripe. i have an ebay alert for all bassike striped goods now so fingers crossed!

0 vignettes/polvore

i created these for a project a few months back and thought i would share them with you. do any of you use polyvore and find it as addictive as me? this room above is my future inspired room, i am really taken with alexandra von furstenberg's neon acrylic furniture, i wish she was stocked in australia. p.s. the shoes were for effect, not a style i would wear!

3 gloomy weekend

bored/revitalised enthusiasm for polyvore plus i just bought some red pants and have been umming and ahhing about getting leopard flatties. F.Y.I the nail cuff is vintage hermes from 1st dibs, amazing huh? and i am equally amazed/obsessed with ileana makri jewellry and would not turn this necklace down (J?) the denim shirt is basically glued to me every day and i am a huge scarf girl, this one from marant is an absolute beauty. the peonies were added because i am still grieving about not having them at my wedding, i should have got married NOW when they are in season, i'm sure girls do that don't you think? the celine is an unjustifiable dream (i'll settle for an emile though) and the breton stripe is ksubi. lastly, i am freshly obsessed with illuminator and this one from nars is on my must buy list, also from nars, the schiap nail colour makes me feel good.
