House tour {a cosy french apartment}

How lovely is this cosy apartment? The owners, artists Myriam and Dominique, wanted to escape the hectic Parisian lifestyle and sought a change of pace, so they moved to this beautiful apartment located in Nimes, in the South of France. 


I adore the bright colours used and different textures, creating an eclectic feel that is incredibly inviting. In stark contrast to the rest of the apartment, the bedroom is left white and decorated in muted tones, creating a perfect sanctuary.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend; mine was spent celebrating M's birthday which was lots of fun!

Keeping cosy

Happy Monday lovelies!


Sydney received an incredible down pour of rain today and I got completely drenched on the way home from work. Tonight I'm all rugged up trying to keep warm and working out my wet weather outfits for the next few days!


It's definitely a challenge being stylish as well as practical in the rain, but there are a few key essentials to achieve this look:


* a stylish umbrella
* gum boots
* trench coat

I hope your week is off to a good start and do keep dry if you are caught up in this weather!

Long Island Farmhouse

Hello lovelies; how has your week been so far? I have been frantically busy at work, but the weekend is in sight now, thank goodness!

Today I want to share with you a delightful farmhouse which has been transformed by Tom Scheerer, an interior designer from Manhattan.

I love all the colour and warmth in the home, it feels so cozy. 
My favourite is the outdoor area with all of those comfy-looking couches - I could definitely spend an afternoon here curling up with a good book!

Cosy Living Rooms {Hello Autumn}

Hello lovelies! The first day of autumn did not disapoint Sydney-siders today. The weather was dreary, grey and wet. It was the first day I have worn my trench in about 6 months!

I actually don't mind the cold and love rugging up and keeping cosy. These living rooms would be perfect to snuggle up in with a good book, glass of wine and some good company, don't you think?

Hello autumn. Welcome.
