More for the wall

I mentioned a while back about doing something to the white walls in my room. This picture illustrates pretty much exactly what I'd like to have. Incidentally, what is it with me taking design inspiration from children's rooms? Should I be worried?

Yes, please

Having a slight case of the Mondays, so I looked for pretty things to add to the wishlist.




If I could dress like the entire J Crew catalogue, I'd be a very happy bunny. So many beautiful jewel tones and gorgeous jewellery.


I made the mistake of ambling into Daunt Books yesterday afternoon, and flipped through Sophie Dahl's cookbook. It's chock full of beautiful photos, personal stories and homey recipes that don't look hard to do.


Bunneh vases from Hannah Zakari. I don't really need to say more.

Jil Sander for Uniqlo

The pictures probably aren't selling the clothes, but I'm curious to see how Jil's Sander's +J collection will look and fit like once they hit the shops on Oct 1. These are some of what I'm interested in:

A long Saturday

Yesterday was a long day, but in a good way.

Lunch at Atari-ya

Lunch for one: Spicy tuna roll and a salmon & avocado roll


Everything I need for the day - a change of clothes for partying later, pair of killer shoes and make-up.


At the Iguana Studios in Brixton


Dinner at Las Iguanas. We're hungry! Sangria isn't enough to keep us happy.


At last. Fajita!

It's a bleah morning

Sometimes I wish everyone still dressed like this. How much fun that would be!

And if all dogs wore raincoats like these, the world would be a better place.

Pret-a-Portea at The Berkeley

To continue the cute food trend, here are some pictures of a lovely tea I went to over the weekend at The Berkeley. This tea was cleverly inspired by the Spring/Summer '09 collections of designers like Lanvin, Josh Goot, Oscar de la Renta, Balmain and Alexander McQueen. A marriage between fashion and high tea? Sign me up, baby.

Starting off with some sandwiches


The main event - what to start off with?


Crab-cake on watermelon



Alexander McQueen marzipan handbags - one of my favourites


Michael Kors-inspired chocolate cake. Tasty!


Christian Louboutin coconut cake. I was slightly disappointed it wasn't in the shape of the shoe. Not my favourite either because I don't like coconut.


Herve Leger swimsuit on the left, and Oscar de la Renta dress on the right.

If they ever do an Autumn-Winter collection, I'm so going back.
