Arabian Nights

My brother and his family have just moved to Dubai. I hear the shopping, the hotels, the exclusive beach clubs and the desert spas are all totally luxurious and over-the-top. So I think a visit is in order sometime in the near future. I fancy myself riding around on a camel in the desert wearing something exotic. Very 'SACT 2!

Colour Inspiration

 

Crazy about colour!

Colour motivates me to create.

It excites and inspires me to try out new ideas

and test new boundaries mixing colour, pattern, prints and textures.

Follow your heart, follow your interest, pursue your passions.

Jackie O Style

I have always been a fan of Jackie O's graceful and elegant style.

She had a timeless, classical style that has stood the test of time
and is still relevant on today's fashion scene.
We see the same ladylike chic in the collections of designers
such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta.

Blue Blood

 

Decorating with royal blue, sapphire and navy,

 particularly when combined with antiques and details in gold and silver, 

always lends itself to elegant and sophisticated interiors ~

worthy of any English country manor house  or French Chateau

and the blue blooded aristocracy!

Purple Rules

Purple is a fun, confident, passionate colour.

It can also look very sophisticated and regal

in velvet and silks.

I loving that Chanel lollipop ~

that would make a great party favour!
