New Designs From Bold & Noble

I’m a big fan of british design Duo Jane Tobitt and David Wardle, who are… Bold & Noble. When I was back in the Uk I featured some of their gorgeous prints in Ideal Home magazine. Jane emailed me a couple of weeks ago with news on their latest designs, and there is something for everyone…I love the new Australia design…

and New Zealand is pretty cool too. Don’t feel left out if you’re state side, USA has also had the “Bold & Noble Treatment” and for those back home there is also a new London print too…

Hello from Fiji

Just checking in to say hello & that I’m in Paradise! Fiji is absolutely beautiful and for the first time, in a very long time, I’ve no work, so I can just sit back relax and get re- inspired, and finally have some time to start thinking about the wedding! We’ve also just manged to get  another Holiday visa, meaning that we’ll be able to say in Australia until December! and better still no work,  just time to do my own thing. I’ve stacks of stuff I can’t wait to focus my attentions on. Little mini shoots  for here, the venture that Simon and I are working on for our return; the wedding and of course time to go and explore Oz – I can’t wait!!! So I promise to make up for being a bad blogger of late… right after I’ve had a little “me” time…

Spring Rooms {Real Living Shoot}

Happy weekend my friends! And for me it’s a very happy one because I’m about to head to the airport for a little break in Fiji, I’m so excited!! Before I do I wanted to share this Spring time shopping shoot in the September issue of Real Living. I’m loving these colour combos at the moment, bright and cheery yellow & coral {a combo that feature in my Sydney apartment} and fresh greys and blues – to me they just say…summers on it’s way – hooray! What colours say Spring time to you?

and here come the moodboards…

Sydney In Spring

Spring has sprung here in Sydney. In fact today felt almost summery. As I wandered through the backstreet of Paddington this afternoon I came across a beautiful magnolia tree, it reminded me of how much I love the spring. Even here in Sydney where winters are considerably milder than back home ,the welcome relief of spring is enough to pop a smile on your face…

and it belongs to the cutest house {I imagine a fellow stylist must live here- who else would co-ordinate their car and blossom so wonderfully!?}

I’ll be back tomorrow with some more sneak peeps at a couple of shoots I’ve worked on recently x
