Fearon Hay X Paper Plane X Marle

Sorry sorry sorry for my huge lack of absence. I have had this blog sitting for a week waiting to be finished off. Not long until the end of the school year. As much as I love being in the classroom I have to admit, I am counting down and ready for the summer break. We have had lots on, Our beautiful farm is on the market. It will be very sad to leave as we love this place but there are exciting new adventures to be had. Along with school I have had lots of new design and styling opportunities coming my way which I am very much loving and hope to do more of in the future. And on top of that, I feel semi organised in terms of christmas shopping. Oh and its my birthday in just over a week and I am a real birthday celebrator! (love a good brithday!) 

I absolutley adore the work of Fearon Hay Architects and always have done. When I saw this rececent project that they had completed, The Forest House, I instantly loved everything about it. That incredible gabled roof for one, is a showstopper in iteself and the use of dark timber throughout compliement the Waitakere Ranges that the house is situated at the foot of. Its no wonder this house has won several awards. Photography by Simon Wilson and Amelia Holms.

How cool are these new silloutte prints by Swedish artist, Amelie Hegardt, for Paper Collective avaliable here in New Zealand from Paper Plane. Speaking of Paper Plane, Did you see their latest catalogue. Honestly, if you want business inspiration, these guys are killing it. 

Im all about amazing New Zealand brands today. How good is the latest collection from Marle? Delicate colours and muted hues which is right up my alley. I just adore it and so easy and versatile to wear. 

Happy days.

Dion Robeson X Ruby Resort X Pencil and Hammer

Can you believe how quickly the year is going. And as Christmas nears, the days seem to get busier. I have to remind myself at this time of the year to take each day one step at a time and to first and foremost, look after myself. I'm currently living by the motto - Plan your work, work your plan. A mix of interior inspiration, fashion and art for you today. Enjoy.

Above is the very clever work of photographer Dion Robeson who specialises in architectural and interior photography. Dion has worked for some of the best international design magazines as well as various sites, such as The Design Files. His work is clean and unique with incredible light. 

Oh Ruby Resort 2017, you had me at hello. Every piece in this new collection is high on my wish list. The bold prints and colours are perfect for this summer. And those shoes, Ill be ordering those shoes for sure. 

You all know I love art and love to change the art around on my walls frequently. I am stoked to have discovered the work of graphic designer Jackie Bott of Pencil and Hammer. Pencil and Hammer was born in 2013 from Jackies love for bold prints and her passion for colour. My pick, these incredible high quality abstract prints amongst a combination of bold colours and subtle hues. A prefect gift for Christmas.

Home Tour x Tathra Beach Designs x The Brim Label

Happy days to you all. Whats been happening in my world? Teaching that's what. I get home after a day at school and Frankie wants me to do some more learning with her. I try and talk her into having a play or chilling out and watching a bit of telly so I can catch my breath at least but she is that enthusiastic! Tired yes, but surprisingly these first few weeks of Frankies school life have gone well. I spent my day with Patch today as I don't work on Mondays so we hang. Although he would actually prefer to hit the farm with Dad. 

How is this for small home living? An absolutley beautiful home found thanks to Inside Out Australia, surrounded by eucalyptus and bottlebrush in heartland Victoria. Home owner Georgina elisted the help of Branch Studio Architects to match the impressive natural surroundings. See More of this home in Small House Living Australia, by Catherine Foster for Penguin Books.

One that has always been on my radar, Tathra Beach Designs, located on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Run by by local residents and Interior Designers, Linda Tarlinton & Stacey Leafe , the store presents carefully selected wares with a focus being small production Honestly, these guys... everything they stock I want... ALWAYS! Immaculate style and taste. Pop over to shop or check them out here on Instagram. 

The Brim Label kills it once again. Always such incredible attention to detail, this brand just keeps getting better, turning heads some would say. This season sees a gorgeous kids line added to the mix which I will definitely be purchasing.
