Happy Halloween!





 



I love any excuse to dress up and party ~
so the idea of Halloween parties, fancy costumes and trick or treating
has major appeal for me!
Sadly, we don't celebrate it here in Australia
so I will enjoy it through the eyes of my favourite American blogs!

I wish all of our American blogging friends, lots of fun and 

Happy Halloween

{For those of you affected by Hurricane Sandy
our thoughts are with you and your families.
I hope you are all safe and sound}

Glamour Interior













This lovely home was featured in House Beautiful, stylishly designed by Paige Schnell and Doug Davis of Tracery Interiors. The result is chic, elegant, glamorous and timeless. It is always easy to live with a neutral canvas but this house has been brightened with lively pops of colour in shades of pink and raspberry to keep things fresh.  There's lots of clever idea and gorgeous detailing like the ceiling, the toile panelled screen in the bathroom, the mixed dining chairs and the two seater bar stools.

I hope you enjoy the tour!

Poppy and Fuchsia Outdoor Party









I love a good party. 
Especially one where the hosts have gone to a bit of an effort 
with decorating and styling.
Being a designer, I love it when there's a colour co-ordinated theme
 with attention to detail like:-
fairy lights, flowers, paper lanterns and invitations
all put together with a sense of style creative flair.

Gold Class




 




 



With a big party to go tonight,
I am in the mood for a bit of luxe.
I have the hairdresser and beautician lined up
for a chic updo and manicured nails.
The party dress and shoes are laid out and ready to go.
All I need is an hour before I go
for make-up and a glass of champagne to start the party!

Audrey Style










'Happy girls are the prettiest'

{Quote: Audrey Hepburn}

Grace, beauty and style are just a few adjectives that come to mind to describe Audrey Hepburn. Half a century on ~ her charm, her impeccable style, humanitarian efforts and her fashion sense are still a source of inspiration and admiration. I am sure my love for Tiffany jewellery and the colour aqua began from the moment I first watched 'Breakfast at Tiffanys'.

Ivory and Beige Luxe


 









The combination of beige and ivory
is timeless, classic and elegant.
I always associate some of favourite things with these colours ~
pearls, cashmere, fur, lattes, weddings and lace.

Black & White Glamour








I first developed a passion for photography when I was sixteen years of age and my dad bought me an SLR camera. I started taking photography classes at school and I was developing my own black and white prints. It has been an on going hobby over the years and I love collecting beautiful books on fashion photography.

Today I'm loving these black and white fashion photos.

A Splash of Colour












 There's nothing like a splash of colour
to invigorate your space.

A pop of pink or purple
will brighten up a room and give it a lift ~
even if it's as simple as a
vase of flowers, some colourful books
or a few bright candles
