Sunday drinks and sunshine

Here's a little number I styled for SHOP Til You Drop magazine's December issue. It was taken on the rooftop of a converted warehouse in the industrialised Sydney suburb of St Peters.


Getting the stuff up to the roof was a nightmare, but the tree-top view and perfect lighting made it well worth the hassle.

My kind of Christmas setting

A little farm-yard-chic, a whole lot laid back. Forget about shiny sparkly things. All-white dinnerware and beaten-up pewter jugs are where the magic is at.

These shots were taken a while back, so I'm wondering if she's made any major styling tweaks. Me thinks probably not. Here's a little sneak peak at Chloe Sevigny's wallpaper-clad New York apartment.

Discovery of the day

One of my very stylish office buddies sent me a link this morning to Paul & Joe which aside from their beautiful, expensive clothes, also happens to be home to the prettiest screen savers to date. Yes, you read right, screen savers.


The pink one is guaranteed to boost productivity by 87%.

Obsessions for the week

My best friend just bought an apartment (congrats, Kate!) and these cushions have her name written all over them.





2. Able and Game

Best. Cards. Ever. They do great birthday and greeting cards, so naturally their Christmas collection is off the charts.

3. dedeceplus.com

From vases, to bookends, cups, to lights, this virtual joint is packed to the rafters with great homeware pieces and gift ideas that boast just the right amount of quirkiness. I could easily see myself making friends with these metallic numbers over Christmas...


4. Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern.

Witty, embarrassing and too-close-to-home in parts, buy it for a quick, cheap laugh.

So young, so cool, so stylish, it hurts.

Welcome to the Manhattan apartment of model Coco Rocha and her artist hubby, James Conran. A match made in heaven, together, they've got a serious soft spot for vintage finds.

One to bookmark: Emerald and Ella

If I could be the master of my own online shop, this is exactly how I'd like it to be: Emerald and Ella. Seriously, everything is beautiful x 100.
