pony pressed studio

Last Saturday, I spent my afternoon getting creative at the lovely Megan Morton's The School learning to hand-stamp our very own traditional keepsake heirlooms in silver and copper! Hosted by the talented team at Pony And  Pressed Studio, we had a fabulous time grazing at the adorable food and drink stations whilst learning this unique craft.  I am so happy with how my pieces turned out and cannot wait to try my new skills at home with the kit I bought. Watch this space...I will be stamping everything!

Yummy treats!

koskela

Always love a shopping trip to the inspiring space that is Koskela.

I did a bit of Christmas shopping last Saturday morning and simply could not stop snapping all of the fabulous new products in store! 

I especially could not resist purchasing the Odds&endS Knitted Wool Cactus 'plant' (as featured above). Seriously, how cute is it?

 I just love how quirky it looks wherever I place it in the house and the best part is, there is no watering required- genius!!

This Australia shelf beauty is DEFINITELY on my wish-list! (As is the chair!!)

the isha bracelet

Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love, and that is exactly how I feel towards this gorgeous bracelet. 

Created by the beautiful brand Chandra Jewellery, these bracelets are designed with gemstones that carry their own personal symbolism and meanings.  I just love accessorising with this pale pink beauty, or even just admiring it on my dressing table!

summer vibes

This warm Spring weather is getting me SO excited for Summer days spent lying by the pool!

Right now I am loving this new Wonder Worker natural hair spray by Shu Uemura Art of Hair

It's perfect for combating humidity and taming that post-swim frizz!! 

weekend getaway

School holidays means a quick getaway up to the beautiful central coast!

The weather forecast is heating up to mid to high 20's so it's time to bring out the summer essentials.

I will definitely be packing my new 50+ Dermalogica sunscreen (purchase it here) that I recently purchased from Facial Co (which has a huge range of brands). Also in my overnight bag is my Dermalogica skin care basics (you can also purchase them from Facial Co here), my fave stripe bassike tee, my french 'my sunday morning' white lace shorts, my clutch and of course sunnies! 

                         

                         

 

                          

                          

                          

           

   

etsy love

When I was asked to share my favourite Etsy find, I instantly knew what would be on top of my list. I have had my eye on these adorable vases by the very talented graphic designer Vanessa Bean (@vbean) for quite some time, so naturally the first thing I did was head straight to her Etsy account to purchase my own! I just loved styling this ever so quirky and gorgeously unique vase. 

In fact, once I started it was almost hard to stop. The possibilities are endless and I just can't help but smile each time I walk past my happy little lady! I highly recommend you check out Vanessa's lovely Etsy store. Click here to see more of her limited addition collection- I want it all!!

the power of white

The power of white - white is just not white! I recently attended an inspiring long table discussion with Karen McCartney, Author of White Rooms. The event was hosted by Murobond paint and held in Paper Couture's fabulously styled studio space! Karen talked us through the whites that inspired her book and all the decorating choices that work within the context of white. She also explained her collaboration with Murobond for the 'Compass' range of whites, and how they narrowed the field to beautiful workable choices. We were also treated to a scrumptious morning tea which included the most amazing panna cotta .... Yum!!
