Relish

I am meeting a friend for coffee this morning and whilst pondering what to wear, I happened upon this great look from The Sartorialist found via Victoria.
I have been known to over accessorise but with this girl as inspiration I will descend on my jewellery box with relish.

Swoon

Swoon towards the festive season with a copy of the latest Sweet Paul Magazine. I love every page, from the sugar jewels to the bloody Mathilda cocktail. Packed from cover to cover with beautiful photography, styling ideas and DIY projects, could this be the best issue ever?

Pastels, pompoms and place settings.

How was your weekend? I hope you have enjoyed peeking into the favourite item lists of some of my readers in my previous posts.

Monday again and although I have the day off, I am glad for the grey sky, I need to stay home and do all things domestic so don't need the lure of the sun to coax me out of the house. I always find pink counteracts the rain so here is a pretty dream like setting for everyone from Swedish interior stylist Lo Bjurulf. Found via House doctor.

Obsession-vintage pink

Always find myself inspired by wedding styling and these shots from a pink vintage wedding over at Once Wed are just so pretty and summery.

Marrakech create the look


Hopefully you will all visit Marrakech one day but if not or until you get there, these finds should tide you over and add a little Moroccan colour to a corner of your home. Jewel brights and metallic shimmer. Chalky paints and patterned tiles. Soft leathers and pretty accessories.

I also found a great recipe book to download and and an App for the iphone at Maroque.co.uk. So now you can make a round of mint tea or cardamom coffee wherever you are.

Furniture and props

All the beauty today is from one of my ultimate styling heroes, Twig Hutchinson. Leafing through her portfolio again, I fall in love with every image. Especially the ones which have hints of yellow mixed with bright blue. Also taking special interest in the last picture as we have just booked a trip to Marrakesh. Hooray. Have you already made holiday plans for this year or are you hoping for a trip somewhere exciting?

Ravishing

An endless grey is still hanging in the sky today. So here is something beautifully bright for you today.

books on my list 1

Summer just brings out the colours in me and top of my must have reading list is Sense of style Colour by Shannon Fricke. I want to dive right into the beautiful photos (taken by Prue Ruscoe) and soak up all the shades and tones strewn throughout its wonderful pages.

Yay for Paul!

The weather has taken a turn for the worse (again!) pouring with rain and way too windy for an umbrella! Makes me want to stay indoors and try to recreate some of the almost too beautiful to eat food by Sweet Paul. Paul has done a recent feature looking back at some of the fabulous work he and his marvelous photographer friends have created since he moved to New York. Plus if you still want to see more he will be Guest blogging over at This week for dinner.
How am I going to get to work? Drowned rat springs to mind, I don't even have anything with a hood, I am at the complete mercy of the skies and I think they have ideas of whipping my newly washed hair in to a soggy comb over!

Cake is my life

Found these delicious photos by Steve Giralt on a very fruitful trip around the net via Love forever which led me to sweet paul. It seems that Steve often works with Paul, taking amazing pictures of the beautiful food he has styled for magazines and gourmet websites.
Its hard not to get tangled up here, I am trying to type whilst being so excited and inspired by all the pics and blog posts. I have never seen such beautiful food styling. Eat your heart out martha you've definitely been out shined!
The sweet paul blog is packed with imagery and ideas. Click here and scroll down to find delightful christmas candy ideas. This is another blog which will have to be visited on a regular basis. So happy right now. I have a friend who has just had an operation, so he may be receiving some baked gifts inspired by what I've seen today.

Lula and Amelia.


Great new issues of Amelia's magazine and Lula magazine out now. Both have such interesting articles with beautiful photography and illustrations. This issue of Amelia's is all about contemporary Russia, inspiring music, fashion, photography and art.
Lula has a virgin suicides feel to it with Kirsten Dunst writing about her world and dreamy photography with a seventies fashion twist. Both are such lovely publications, hard to choose one so it'll just have to be both. Another dent in my finances caused by paper!
