How perfect would this Coriscan retreat be, for all those covetable boho looks from last week? No surprise then that it belongs to the designer of Zadig et Voltaire – the french hippie/rockstar brand. You can just feel the dry heat coming off the pages! Images: Milk Decoration

I don’t normally go for dark colours in the home but this dwelling in Cape Town has just the right injection of warmth. I love the textured walls, the yellow pop of colour and those suitcases, antlers…..the list goes on! House & Leisure SA June 2013, Photographs Micky Hoyle

I experienced a real stab of nostalgia while watching Mad Men this week. When Megan appeared in her indian hippie dress, it really took me back to my school and university days (an indie trend you understand, I wasn’t born until the seventies!) and a whopping great infatuation with all things bohemian. In sixth-form I had a huge girl-crush on a friend called Polly. She was in my English class and knew her literature like noone else, particularly poetry. She […]

I love the way this little home has been decorated. Really simply but drawing the eye to the natural character of the rooms. A tranquil post to lead us into the weekend……. (Images: Anna Kern/House of Pictures for Elle Decoration July 2013)

Check out this stunning 19th century villa in Reggio Emilia. It manages to mix glamour, salvage and antique style all into one. In fact, I pinched this from Elle Decoration Country – and I’m totally loving this magazine. I’m not massively into designer interiors and this is just full of the electic, collector-style homes. Right up my street – and I think the second edition is out soon, so keep your eye out for it. Images by Fabrizio Ciccioni/ Living […]

I have just returned from Somerset House, where my good friend Emma and I were able to sample preview pieces from the next Boden Autumn Winter 2013 range. Forgetting the clothes for just a second, the styling for this event was “amazing”. The rooms were decked out with loads of quirky details which have just given me inspiration overload. What do you make of this? So now I know what to do with David’s collection of old tapes! And I […]

How gorgeous is this shoot from an equally gorgeous blog called Travelling Mama? Makes me want to turn back the clock, be a ballerina, live in Copenhagen and ……organise my wardrobe while on pointe (perhaps not!) Love those colours and I’m all over those leg warmers: I have my own pole shoot on Friday and I’m hoping to include a few pics on pointe (if I can bear it!) Haven’t done that in a while, I can tell you. The […]

I’m afraid my blogging may be a little sporadic over the next few months, what with the extension and all. As we speak, a log cabin in being built in the back garden, to house some of the furniture which has no where to go, and I have been allocated a two day slot to prime and paint – the inside and the outside! So from tomorrow it’s going to be a case of pole and paint! On the subject […]
