Postcards With An Edge

August 9, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Between bouts of fighting with my children in Mallorca, over inflatable dolphins and alligators, I spotted these traditional postcards. All were taken by Arxiu Bestard/ Casa Bestard, which houses the largest archive of Mallorcan photography from the late nineteenth century up until 2006. How ingenious! I don’t really send postcards, it almost seems quite an outdated idea, or is that just me? But these are something else and certainly too beautiful to leave to the uncertainties of the post!

Look At Me, I’m Sandra Suy

August 7, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Leafing through Harper’s Bazaar España (which I’m becoming a huge fan of), I recognised the illustrative work of Barcelona based Sandra Suy. You might recognise some of her work from the illustrations commissioned for Chloe’s sixtieth birthday? A regular on most fashion illustration pinterest boards, particularly my own, she seems to capture the most feminine, almost feline qualities of our gender – and without doubt, the best dressed! With commissions from Missoni, Zara, L’Oreal and Truimph, it’s a clear sign […]

Helena Christensen, Future Claw Magazine

At Home With Helena Part II

August 5, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Want an insight into eclectic dressing? Take a look at this interview with Helena Christensen for FutureClaw magazine, where Helena takes on the role as stylist, and creates an intimate portrayal of her kind of living. Similar to At Home With Helena Part I, let’s face it, who can resist another look at such gorgeousness? I think I just might prefer this photoshoot – what do you think? HC “There are some of my favourite items in there, yeah. It […]

Ulyana Sergeenko AW'13 couture

Sergeenko’s Snow White

July 15, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

The words “fairy tale” are often used when reviewing one of Ulyana Sergeenko’s collections and her Autumn Winter’13 Couture collection was no different. There was a Snow White in all her glory, a huntsmen in suspenders and a few wicked-queen headdresses, thrown in for good measure. For some it may be too much in the realms of fantasy land and it appears that some of the major publications are on the fence as to where she fits in the couture […]

Greys & Metals: A Lesson in Renovation

July 13, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

This house is a lesson in how to renovate a 19th century hospital into a quirky family abode. Fortunately Ludvine Degas specialises in renovations and her husband runs a metalwork company. Taking over seven years, this is the result – a beautiful fusion of soft greys and industrial metal. Oh, what I would do for that pool right now! Photographs by Anne Catherine Scoffoni

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Ian Berry, London 1970

Birkin by Berry

July 4, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I was on the Yoox site, looking for a jacket (nothing new there!), and I came across this gorgeous framed print for sale, of Jane Birkin by Ian Berry. Clearly I couldn’t leave it at that, so I had to take a peak at the rest of this intimate collection. Taken in London 1970, it features a very natural Serge and Jane, with her daughter Kate Barry. They look like any other couple wandering the streets in the 1970’s. Only […]

Zadig & Voltaire Bohemian Hideaway

June 21, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

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

Dark Colours & Raw Textures

June 19, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

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
