Pinterest...

Today I was reminded about this amazing website pinterest and can't wait to receive my invitation to join! I've been on it for a good couple of hours now, just scrolling through all the beautiful images! Pinterest will definitely change the way I search for images on the web. I always use Google images to search for inspiration, but you never really know what you are going to get, and if you are looking for images for a mood board etc you have to sift through all the ugly images first before finding the nice ones!!

At Pinterest, all of the images are 'magazine worthy', taken by photographers and are styled beautifully. It's great because you can 'pin' an image to a board to create your own virtual pin-board and follow collections created by others.

Florals...

OK, i know this a very girly post, but how beautiful do these floral prints look in both of the rooms above! Different from having an all over wallpaper print!

Button Cushion...

button cushion by Ferm Living...simple and easy way to make any old cushion unique!

Charlotte Farmer tea towels...

Love these illustrated cotton / linen tea towels celebrating every day delights of tea, biscuits and cake!

BHLDN...

Anthropologie's new wedding line 'BHLDN' launched on Valentines Day. Pronounced Beholden (Dutch for 'to keep') the beautiful looking website has everything from quirky dresses to vintage inspired head pieces and jewellery.

What i really love about this website is that whilst shopping for your accessories you can also take a short quiz that determines 'what kind' of bride you are and what style suits you best, items are then selected from the collection to suit you! Here's a few items from the collection.. every girl's dream!!

Orla Kiely...

I received a lovely Orla Kiely book for Christmas, and I've nearly finished it! I'd recommend that anyone who loves textiles, print and furnishings to have a look at this book! It's so inspiring, and full of beautiful photographs and illustrations - and not only that, you also get to read her story from when she started out as a designer and the success shes had over the years. I love these kind of books. Thanks Low & Steve x

Lovely Prints...

I'm a huge fan of Lisa Stickley, and love her online shop. Her placement prints are so stylish and unique, great for a little bit of 'vintage' in your home. If you fancy making something, and don't know where to start Lisa Stickley's book 'Made at Home' offers loads of practical ideas for crafty gifts.

Illustrated step by step, the instructions take you through each project whatever your sewing experience! .. can't wait to order mine.

Stunning...

Illustrator Ekatarina Koroleva creates beautiful, yet simple illustrations of women, i would love a print like this in my home!

Ink & Spindle

I really love Ink & Spindle's prints - there all designed and screen printed by hand! So simple and elegant - and a beautiful colour scheme.

Colour me pretty...

I absolutely love Leslies colour combinations on Decor8's Colour me pretty column - beautiful photographs, I'm not really a purple person, but these images make it so hard not to fall in love with the colour!

Ralph Lauren's 4D Sensory Experience...

To celebrate its 10 years of digital innovation in the US and the launch of its new UK website. Using a technique known as architectural mapping, a light show was superimposed onto its New Bond Street and Madison Avenue stores in London and New York.

Seasons Greetings ...

Postcarden's new seasons greetings pop-up card.

Beautiful Workspaces...

I love 'Paper n Stitch's' blog, every week they have 'Workshop Wednesday' - beautiful images of workshops, offices and studios!...i love the image above, what an amazing place to do work! Lots of light, amazing windows and a balcony!

Marrakech, Morocco...

Ourika Valley is just outside Marrakech, it was a really relaxing day - and nice to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city - it's quite high up in the Atlas Mountains and has stunning views and really lovely, welcoming people. It's full of gardens, palm and fruit trees and very scary man made bridges!! It had cafes and tiny stalls all the way up the valley - I even passed one tiny cafe that had table and chairs actually in the river so that you could eat and keep your feet cool at the same time!

Koutoubia Mosque...

Towering the main square in Marrakech is the Koutoubia Mosque, the tallest building in the city. These lovely signs were dotted all over the city.

Shopping at the Souks, Marrakech...

The best part of the trip for me was the Djemaa el Fna (the main focus of the city) it's a large open space full of entertainers and food sellers. Along the alleyways adjacent to Djemaa el Fna are the souks, these are alleyways with shops side by side, which are the soul of the city. The different souks are for different items. The Souk Smata is for leather goods such as slippers, bags and belts. Souk Addadaine is full of metal works and crafts. Each little stall is full of beautiful colours and a very deter mind little man who wants to sell you his traditional slipper, lantern or pot! - visiting the souks was a truly worthwhile experience and if I had space in my suit case - I would of bought one of everything!

Portobello road ...

I visited Portobello Road for the first time a few weeks ago - which i really loved! Every Saturday the Road plays host to one of the most prestigious markets in England. Although, known for its Antique market, it was full of a very young, flamboyant crowd! These Victorian multi - coloured houses just looked so beautiful!

Beautiful Umbrellas...

I love this umbrella by Partners & Spade - its made from fabric found in India - not sure how well it functions as an umbrella though, but it's beautiful!

The Acapulco Chair...

Inspired by 1950's design, this striking steel and woven plastic 'Acapulco' chair by Sant Design looks so glamorous! I love the electrical blue version and the white Acapulco rocker, so stylish and contemporary! www.acapulcochaircompany.com.

A beautiful apartment...

As I'm currently moving house, I'm on the look out for anything that's going to inspire me to decorate my bedroom, when I came across this beautiful apartment on Micasa I knew I had to share it with everyone! This is 'in my opinion' the perfect bedroom...white walls, bold colors spattered throughout, a mix of all good things vintage, mid-century and ethnic and how stunning is that ornate mirror...I wish!
