Loving lately...

Now that we're officially in August I can start getting excited about the arrival of Spring next month. Hints of Spring are already in the air with the days getting longer; plus we're now starting to see the new seasons collections hitting stores, which is a good sign. It has been such a cold winter here, so I'm definitely ready for the warmer weather to arrive!

Today I wanted to share a few lovely things that have caught my eye lately...  

+ I loved this fun shoot with Olivia Palermo for Russian Tatler.

+ I've been seeing polka dots everywhere lately and I'm loving it! 

Are polka dots the next big thing? I hope so! 

+ This has to be the most amazing + delicious-looking cherry cake I've ever seen!

+ I love these pretty illustrations by 23 Maison Studio.

+ This English High Tea, inspired by the Olympics is so fun!

Hope you're having a lovely Thursday!

Just a few things that have caught my eye lately + too good not to share...

The fabulous Celine Trapeze bag

Catherine's amazing bar cart transformation

Olivia's chic summer style

Anna Karenina starring Keira Knightly + Jude Law; I can't wait to see this!

I'm loving everything about this living room designed by Nicole; the fur rug, the mirrored 

coffee table and the rich green sofa - divine!

Hope you're having a fab Thursday!

If you are following along on instagr.am then you would have seen what I've been up to lately so I thought I would share these lovelies with you today...

I'm loving these Archie Grand notebooks - there is a whole series of alarmingly funny combinations that will bring a smile to your face. They're a good 'handbag' size too which is very important!

On my reading list:

* Almost French

* 7 Habits if Highly Effective People

* Bonjour Happiness 

Oh and how gorgeous does my Leigh Viner piece look? I'm in love!

My healthy living goal for 2012 is going along nicely. This book, Livwise by Olivia Newton John is great and features so many recipes that are super healthy and taste delicious too - I highly recommend it!

I bought these darling doggie bowls for Charlie on the weekend from Ruby Star Traders - how pretty are they?

 And just for fun, I couldn't resist sharing Kate Spade's Musical Chairs clip that introduces their new Spring Collection, styled by the fabulous Brad Goreski. How lovely are the bursts of colour? Those fuchsia jeans have just made it to the top my wish list.


Have a wonderful Thursday lovelies!

It's been a while since my last Loving Lately post, so today I wanted to share a few things that I have been crushing on of late...

I love the splash of gold against this white marble kitchen...

A cozy reading nook....

Pretty polka dots paired with red...

A lovely black and white vignette...

Michelle Williams looks stunning on the cover of the December issue of Elle UK...

The snake skin version of this Céline bag is divine...

Happy Thursday lovelies!
