Spot the Difference – Anita Calero, New York

May 21, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Well, I survived my “event” on Friday – which I shall blog about in the near future. I’m just waiting for the photographs to materialize and I’ll then share them with you all. (Depending on how they turn out!) So back to real life again and back to some inspiration. During the weekend I settled down under the duvet, with …yes… a slight hangover, and flicked through a Dutch Elle Decoration, Mr E had bought me. I was also looking […]

Apologies, Wednesday came and went….and so did Thursday. Time flies when you have things on your mind! I have an event next Friday, which I will no doubt blog about later, which is taking up a bit of my time, so I’m a little behind. So today you get two for one, this and a gorgeous Kate Moss shoot.

Sneak Peek

April 13, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I love the sneak peek that DesignSponge do every week. I love seeing how other people put things together – even if it’s a totally different style to your own. After having moved house over a year ago, I am finally happy with one room of my house – the sitting room. There are plenty more to do – some which will, no doubt, require demolitition work – so it’s comforting to know there’s one room which will remain constant. […]

Rustic Cool – Lifestyle Lust Part 2

March 21, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Here is the second part of my lifestyle lust. Today it’s rustic cool – although, surprisingly, only the last one is actually in the countryside. So enjoy the delights of interior designer and shop owner, Lyn Gardener in Melbourne, interiors photographer Laura Resen in upstate New York and Karen Harrison in Sussex. Meanwhile I’ll be thinking up some accompanying inspired buys for the end of the week…. Photographs: Lyn Gardener – Tim James for Living Etc Jan 09, Laura […]

Pleasing on the Eye

January 25, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I think I may have OCD! I get a buzz out of little coloured-covered books – particularly if they are part of a series. It’s not a huge exciting thrill – more of a kind of content satisfaction. Please tell me I’m not alone in this sensation. I’m sure I’m not! The catalyst for this post is a series of pocket sized interior/style books by Paumes, which you can purchase from Bodie & Fou. They are written in Japanese – […]

The Madam of Monochrome

January 22, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

This week’s Inspired Buys refer to “Igor and Coco” – monochrome style. Story wise, the film is a little slow – in fact I recommended it to a friend and she fell asleep within 5 minutes – you know who you are! However, the costumes and the interiors are absolutely incredible – a total visual feast, and I can quite easily watch a film and be totally engrossed in the style, rather than the story – so this is still one […]
