A little obsession has been creeping up on me for a while now, and it comes in the form of a sunburst mirror. They are such a statement piece and have the ability to completely transform a blank wall. And they’re just so, I dunno, happy looking! Wouldn’t you agree?

Here are some beauties I’ve found, whether you’re looking for all-out glamour, a beach cottage feel, or a more subtle look. As for me, no.2 has stolen my heart:

Good morning everyone! So, Sass & Bide’s Creative Director and Head Designer, Heidi Middleton, has a cushy set-up. Cast your eyes over the gorgeous images below. Uh-huh, that’s where she lives, people. After my post on Friday highlighting gorgeous Australian interiors as shown in Adore magazine, I was delighted to find another residence in Oz that made my heart melt. With those stunning views over Palm Beach (just north of Sydney), stone floors, and just the right amount of colour thrown on top of a white backdrop, Heidi’s home is damn near perfection. Australia is one of the destinations for our honeymoon in January, so this eye candy is giving me a serious pick-me-up after a grey and drizzly weekend. What do you think of this hilltop house?

Also, you may have spotted a very subtle addition to my side-bar… it’s Cosmo Blog Awards time again (where did the year go?), and if this site makes you smile and you have a minute to nominate my little blog for the ‘Best lifestyle blog’ category, I would be hugely grateful.
Thank you, lovely readers 🙂 xx

I love to follow the online shelter magazines, and one of my favourites is Adore which is run by designer Loni Parker in Australia. The pages reflect the sunshine that we associate with the Land Down Under, bursting with vibrant hues and bold geometric prints. The content, styling and photography are simply gorgeous. And the great news is that Adore has also launched their own online store (see here) to help you emulate the looks seen in the magazine. Ikat vases and bright chevron cushions? They read my mind.

Now, I like bright, striking decor as much as the next person, but sometimes it’s the more neutral palettes that I’m drawn to. Case in point, the home of Caitlin Flemming, who writes the hugely popular interior design blog Sacramento Street. It makes for such peaceful surroundings, especially dotted with the strategically placed folliage and blankets readily available. With a Buddha, a bar tray and a bed with a thousand pillows, all that’s left to do is throw on some Bublé in the background. Yes, I’m still only 30… and no, I’m not kidding about the Bublé.

I apologise that 5-post weeks are a rarity at the moment. The truth is that days don’t currently have enough hours in them in order for me to tackle my ‘To Do’ list in its entirety (don’t organise a wedding, move home and move jobs at the same time… just don’t), and sadly my beloved blog is feeling the brunt of it. As always, I will do my best. Today’s post is a home tour that I’m really excited about showing you. Now, do you and your partner have differing interior tastes? Like, polar opposite differing interior tastes? Good, because this might help you. I love vintage, Tom loves modern, so whilst he drools over stainless steel kitchens, I go ga-ga over one-of-a-kind French dressers. You see the dilemma. But this Victorian semi seems to combine both traits, with subway tiles and cornicing for me, and folding patios doors and sleek shower fittings for him. Perfection. What do you think of this look?
