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 […]

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 […]

Firstly the pole shoot went well (I think)! I have yet to see the pics but we worked our backsides off and made a pretty good team, I might add. So I’m hoping there must be some money shots there. I certainly have the bruises to prove it! Watch this space people…. Secondly, I can now finally launch Project X. I have been collecting a few of my illustrations which people have “liked” on the blog and decided to get […]

Apologies it has been at least two weeks since I’ve blogged and I’m usually a lot more punctual. The reason being a) maybe it’s the weather but I haven’t been hugely inspired lately b) the builders have arrived and I’m trying to pack up my kitchen so that it will fit into a tiny study upstairs and c) I’ve been doing a lot of drawing for something called Project X which I will elaborate on in a future post. Anyway, […]

If your into the likes of House Doctor and Ferm Living then you’ll love Emma Fexus’s book Northern Delights, which features some of the créme de la créme of Scandinavian Design. You may well recognise the author as Emma from Emma’s Design blog – one of Sweden’s oldest design focused blogs and a fierce pinner! Some of the homes featured are a little on the minimal side (not ideal for a vintage hoarder like myself) but I could definitely see […]

There were some gorgeous things to buy at the Country Living Fair on Thursday. I wasn’t in a particularly “country” mood – probably something to do with the arctic weather and Angel tube station which seemed to affect my retail instinct. I found myself being drawn to the more unusual products and less interested in ditsy fabric and galvanized buckets of bulbs. McKinley and Moth For example the eye catching applique designs as McKinley and Moth. I just fell in […]

I have a thing for bare brick walls. In my dream home I would have a feature wall with a gorgeously aged and textured brick wall. But let’s face it unless your living in a factory conversion or a rare original apartment in Copenhagen or Paris, antique fixtures and aged brick are hard to find and, I would imagine, a devil to maintain. But if you want to fake it – now you can. There are some seriously clever wallpapers […]
