5 lovely things I can't live without {Belle Maison}

Hello lovelies! How was your weekend? The sun was shining in Sydney, so it was a perfect weekend for taking my little nieces to the zoo - they had a ball!

Today I'm kicking off the first 5 lovely things post for 2011 and excited to introduce you to Julie who pens the fabulous interior design blog, Belle Maison. Julie also runs online homewares shop, Modern Chic Home, which is filled with the loveliest decor items and accessories - a few that I actually have my eye on, like this, this and this!

{one} Coffee – I love starting my morning off with a fresh pot of coffee. I work from home and enjoy sipping a hot cup of homemade coffee while scrolling through emails and starting off my work day.

{two} Design Magazines – I basically live, eat and breath interior design! I keep a stack of design magazines on my coffee table at all times and enjoy flipping through them, often tearing out pages that inspire me. I have a whole drawer full of magazine tear sheets that I dig through when I need inspiration for a new project.

{three} MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink – I have to have lip gloss or chapstick on at all times (otherwise I’ll lick my lips until their chapped to death). This little jar of lip conditioner soothes your lips while adding a hint of color. 

{four} Queen Helene Mud Pack Masque – Seriously, this is hands-down the best mud masque I’ve ever used. It’s super inexpensive (around $5!) but works wonders on tired skin that needs a quick pick-me-up. I apply this mud masque once a week, especially before an evening out or an important event where I need my skin to look refreshed. 

{five} Jessica Simpson Black Suede Bravo Pump – I just purchased a pair of these sexy slingback pumps with a wrapped platform and skinny stiletto heel. What I love most is their versatility – they look great with a little black dress at night or pencil skirt and blouse by day. Oh, and they’re comfortable too!

Thank you Julie!
