Wednesday Workspace {understated glamour}

 At first glance this could appear to be a rather neutral, and dare I say a boring space, but taking a closer look at the textures at play, you can see there have been many layers added to create an incredibly understated glamorous corner.

I really can't get past the awesomeness of this lucite chair which is complemented so well by the fur throw. Yes, this would be workspace heaven for me.

What do you think: is this space too neutral and safe; or full of understated glamour goodness?

A big thank you to Claudia who put this workspace on my radar!

For the love of gold

Lately, I've been loving all things gold. I'm not normally a 'gold' person, but I seem to be drawn to it all of a sudden. It started when I spied Joy's gorgeous wallpaper, used by Emily Henderson when recreating Joy's new fab new living room, and I immediately wanted to work out how to use it in our home.


I have also had my eye on these gorgeous Moroccan pouffes for some time but couldn't decide which colour to get! But yesterday after reading this post, I chose to go with the gold. 


So much gold loveliness, don't you think?

Pretty pinks & a guest post

Hello lovelies, I feel like a dose of pink is in order today and of course, this lovely Audrey quote helped to inspire the mood!

I'm also guest posting over at a {little dash} of Ash, so do pop on over to find out why I can't resist a beautifully styled workspace.

Only one more day until the weekend! Have a wonderful day lovelies!

A little under the weather

Hello my dears, I have been feeling under the weather of late so please excuse my absence and not visiting your blogs. I hope to shake this bug and be back to normal very soon! Until then, I leave you with some pretties to swoon over.

See you soon,

Happy Friday {Full of Pretty}

Happy Friday lovelies! Lots to celebrate today - Friday, of course; the beginning of a long weekend here; and Sydney's never-ending summer.

This weekend also marks the start of planning our renovation and first up is the floors.

We want to put beautiful polished floorboards in, but the problem is that we have an apartment underneath us, so we have to come up with a solution to get around this so we don't upset our new neighbours with noise from the floors! Will update you of our progress next week.

Do you have anything exciting planned?

Party Inspiration: Ice Cream Parlour Buffet Theme

I found out some wonderful news today - my little sister got engaged, plus she has asked me to be her Maid of Honour! How thrilling!

My mind excitedly skipped ahead for how I would theme her kitchen tea and other pre-wedding celebrations, so it was perfect timing really when I discovered the blog Eat Drink Chic which has lots of DIY party inspiration ideas and tips.

All of the ideas are fantastic, but I was especially blown away by the level of detail designer Amy Moss has put into creating the Ice Cream Parlour theme; it is utterly gorgeous and would be perfect for a wedding, birthday party or kitchen tea. And the good bit? Amy has made it super simple to re-create this theme at home by describing step by step how she went about creating this look and has the labels and signage for you to print out.  Love it!

Lovely Cupcakes!

I will be baking cupcakes this weekend for a pre-Christmas get together with a bunch of old work friends, so in preparation I have been inspiration scouting for my creations.

In my travels I found many so many delicious-looking cupcakes, it will be hard to decide what to bake.

Here is some lovely cupcake inspiration for you to enjoy!

These look the same as the Red Velvet Cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery, which are simply divine. I wonder if I could pull it off with the colour??
