R&R

Only 1 week before Upmarket and i can tell my body has gone into uber stress mode because i'm already daydreaming of places to go to rest my poor tired self. Sometimes i dream of log cabins somewhere cold but lately i have the urge to wiggle my toes in white sandy beaches & swim in crystal clear waters. Being in Australia you wouldn't think that would be too hard to find however i woke up today to clouds which means autumn has surely arrived and winter is just around the corner.

So today, as i'm sipping warm early grey tea & wearing my comfee trackies, my ideal holiday destination is the Maldives and Huvafen Fushi is where i long to be. With rooms starting at almost $1000 dollars a night in the low season i think it'll be a while til i get to swim in these waters but hey a girl can dream =)

How can you ever feel stressed in a place like this?

Dying of envy!

If ever there was a reason to be jealous of what fame and money can buy - this is it!! (As if we need more reasons) Feast your green eyes on the closets of the rich and famous, styled of course to make sure you walk away slightly overwhelmed and drunk on the flamboyancy which is their daily life.

Oh Nikki, famous by association, i love your wooden floors and your pink coat hangers are a sure giveaway that you're really a girly girl by heart.

Fergie love the ottoman and chandelier peaking above!

Rachel's closet is vintage heaven!

Love how Christina got all dolled up but left her lil one pantless haha
The pink is also a nice touch!

Argh Mariah! Each pair of shoes you own could probably put a child through school for a year and yet still i wanna rampage through your collection. Evil obviously has settled in by this point of the post.

Now i'm off to cry on my hubby's shoulder!

Some addictions are good for you.... promise!

Okies so lately i've been interiors obsessed and can you blame me with pics like these online? While i was studying Interior Decorating i started a ridiculous collection of interior magazines which filled my room to the point where my mum insisted i throw some out so there would be a decent pathway from the door to my bed. I heard what she had to say and then chose to ignore it as any daughter would of done. Now all grown up and married my addiction has been limited to 1 magazine a month and i get through the tough times with hours and hours of scouring the internet for a 'hit'. Sites like Design*Sponge and Decor Pad are my poison and has recently taken over me completely. So be prepared for more to come.... i'm no where near done =)

I bring you this stunning renovated brownstone from the people at The Brooklyn Home Company. Yes start gushing now!

Argh! Love the exposed beams!

The ladder leads to a guest bedroom. Soooo cute!

Could you not just cook all day in this kitchen?
Although, makes you wonder how they get all those dishes and pots & pans up so high on those shelves. I guess that's why man invented ladders. Scary tho.

Oh yes i can definitely picture myself sleeping here =)

Clean, organised and white.... all the best things about a bathroom.

With wood sculpture/designer Fitzhugh Karol and jewellery designer Lyndsay Caleo collaborating with The Brooklyn Home Company on the project could expect anything less than perfection? I seriously doubt it.

Indulging my girly side

Lately i've been on the hunt for inspirational interiors. I think it goes in hand with house hunting which is what hubby and i've been doing. Seeing that hubby is clueless when it comes to decorating (2 books and a tea cup on the bedside table doesn't count babes) i figured i'll take the reigns on this and build up a wish list. Now if only i can stick to one style.... this is going to be hard.

Feeling Turquoise

Being my other favourite colour at the moment (i'm a hardcore PINK fan) i couldn't resist searching the net for turquoise interiors. As much as i love the colour i doubt i could live in a house where every room had the same colour theme going through it. Still i'm totally in love with the turquoise head board... i wonder if i can convince hubby for a change... hmmm.
