Floral Inspiration

 

For me fresh flowers is one of the sweetest luxurious in life - they brighten up your home and your spirits. Simply by adding a bunch of flowers can change the mood of a room or a table setting house. My house looks perfect with white flowers but  I love to mix it up - sunflowers in summer for some added drama, peonies & blossom in spring and bright tulips and lilies in winter.

Awash With Summer Colour

 

 

Summer is the perfect time to chill out, relax and de-stress after a busy year and what better way to do that than by a pool, with palm trees swaying overhead, and a cool drink by your side, preferably with a dash of gin! I am loving these soft floating images in washed out pastels - I just feel like diving straight in that pool to cool off!

Neon Brights

Whilst I'm away enjoying myself on holidays -

here's a pop of summer colour to brighten up your day.

Love those brightly coloured, little ballet flats from Ferragamo - how chic!

Hope you have a lovely day!

Michel Canetti in Colour

 

I have loved fashion illustration ever since I studied Fashion Design after finishing school. French fashion illustrator, Michel Canetti, is one of my favourites. Born in Paris in 1955, he now lives in my hometown of Melbourne so it is really inspiring to see his work around local French cafes and restaurants. Michel is considered one of France's leading fashion illustrators and has worked with some of the world's famous fashion houses and magazines. Here are some examples some of his more colourful illustrations. As you can see his love of French chic, glamorous fashion and feminine beauty reflects in his work.

Summer In The City

 

Love this 'Summer in the City' campaign from Michael Kors - you can almost feel the heat and see the steam rising off the pavement! Love the crisp whites, sky blue and dusky mauve. The sky high stilettoes, the slouchy bags, the sports watch and the mirrored aviators all make the perfect summer accessories.

Poolside Chic

 

 

I am loving this poolside chic. Now that summer is well underway - you will find me at either two places :- by the pool, preferably with a bar close by (!), or down at the beach. I can see myself lounging by these very glamorous pools with my oversized straw hat, large Jackie O style sunglasses and a martini in hand! What a perfectly relaxing way to spend the afternoon!
