An Australian Christmas

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas. I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I'm currently visiting my brother and his family out in Western Australia! We've had a wonderful Christmas, and the weather has been incredible. One of the things I most enjoy about coming here (apart from the amazing food and gorgeous beaches) is the inspiration I get from all the amazing stores that I've visited. They're so gorgeously decorated and I feel that I've picked up some great ideas which I'll most definitely be bringing home with me. What has been strange though, is celebrating Christmas day in such hot weather! The whole experience here is so different - and the way in which things have been decorated are so different from the way we decorate back home in the UK. I love the simplicity here and when I came across the recent magazine fetepress - the whole style just filled me with Christmas joy. Next year - no matter where I am, hot or cold - this will be style that I'll be taking home with me and wanting to replicate around my home. Enjoy this beautiful publication and I'll be in touch again in 2012! xxx

A Simple Christmas

 I can't believe how quickly this year has flown, and we're already turning our minds to Christmas shopping and decorating. It's such an exciting time of year and I love the fact there's so many wonderful home websites, dedicated to Christmas. In my search for the perfect Christmas house - this one in particular caught my eye. It looks so effortlessly simple and gorgeous! Why bother with glitter and tinsel when all you need is a rustic tree and some beautiful lighting. Simply wonderful.

Winter Inspiration

Hey, I hope you're having a great weekend. I've been pretty busy lately, so unfortunately I haven't had much time to browse the net that much...but this morning I'm curled up with a cup of tea, a blanket and the my mac book. Amazing! So in my online perusal I've come across this lovely Norwegian magazine called KK.no. It's a great source of interior inspiration so thought I'd share it with you all. Enjoy! x

Louise Body

I maybe a bit slow...or seriously behind the times because I've only just heard about the wonderful designer Louise Body. Holly, at Decor8 inspired me to look at her website, and it's so beautiful! With a mix of wonderful fabric and wallpapers, there's so many different designs to choose from. I love the fact its sooooo girly - I'd love to fill my home with her gorgeous garden bird cushions or update my bathroom with the beautiful mosaic wallpaper. Just amazing!
