Lessons in Design

June 11, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Sometimes there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned dose of historical design to hit the inspiration button like a thunder bolt. Seville was no exception – in particular the Royal Palace or Alcazar. It was truly jaw-dropping. (Although rather difficult to find – that could, however, just be my husband and I – we must have passed the same horse at least five times and were way to embarrassed to ask where this incredible attraction was housed.) Just when I was […]

The Rivoli Ballroom, Brockley, South London

Rocking the Rivoli

June 6, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Do you remember me talking about an “event” I was working on, but I was waiting for the pictures? Well finally I’m able to share them with you. So, imagine the scene – the Rivoli Ballroom. Built in 1913 as a picture palace, it now stands as one of the last remaining ballrooms in London. With original chinese lanterns, flock wallpaper, chandeliers and glitter balls, this is one cool venue. So cool, in fact, that the line up of gigs […]

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 […]

Clare Basler, Flower Portraits, Paris Workshop

Flower House

May 14, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Nestled in the outskirts of Paris, is this wonderful workshop. An artisan home which feels like it’s evolved from the Eden Project. Here, it’s difficult to see where art begins and functional living ends. Both are caught up in a meadow of flowers. How refreshing to wake up here? The former iron-works belong to Clare Basler. Her beautiful flowered panels litter the walls making it difficult to distinguish what is greenery from the outside and what is inside, what is […]

Italians Do It Better Part 2

May 4, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

So here we are at the last part of this little journey, and what better to end with than some great Dolce & Gabbana campaign shots, courtesy of 10 Years of Dolce Gabbana? What I love about their campaigns is the feeling that you’ve walked in on something epic or onto the set of a Fellini film. The air is electrically charged – with models overwhelmed with ecstasy, passion, frustration or anger. Throw in a few Italian stereotypes and you’re […]

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. […]

Vintage Christy Turlington – African Queen

April 2, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

My mum returned from visiting my family in South Africa at the weekend – boy, did it make me home-sick. I then happened to be going through some of my old Vogue magazines and found one of my most favourite fashion shoots, Vogue January 1992 – Christy Turlington does White Mischief and Out of Africa. Two of my most favourite films. If you have never seen them – the fashion, the story, and the scenery in both are just too […]

When Brigitte found Bardot

March 27, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve been transfixed by Brigitte Bardot since I was 16. I watched And God Created Woman, and that was it, I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. It’s a film I can go back to, time and time again, and never tire of it – perhaps because, since having read her biography, there seem to be more than just a few similarities between Brigitte and the character she plays, Juliette. There’s no glitz in the […]

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 […]
