Welcome to the Darkroom...

A new store in London's bloomsbury called the Darkroom has been created by a graphic designer and a textile designer and showcases fashion, accessories and interiors - all quite beautifully blended together in a lovely dark setting - showing us that Black is here to stay in retail concepts for a while..

I do love black....

Havaianas in Brazil

I do admire the folks at Havaiana for their amazingly bold use of colour and for making a world wide brand from what started out as a simple low cost rubber flip flop - the Havaiana brand was created back in 1962 and this is their first store in one of the most expensive stripes in Sao Paulo Brazil - the store looks fabulous - read the whole article here - photography Nelson Kon

Beautiful Gold Mosaics

Looking through hotels in India for my next trip and surprised at what I found! Just stunning - a very glamorous bathroom in hotel Thikana Delhi - i'm excited about heading to India again it has been awhile and looks like I could definitely find inspiration for our Luxe range!

Adorable

Just adorable - the return to craft is bringing all kinds of beautiful things out of the woodwork - look at these guys they are just lovely - knitted in mohair by the very talented Natasha Fadeeva could be a good option for a low maintenance pet? 

Hello Sienna!

Look who's just arrived! Im very excited as our stunning new SIENNA collection is here! The first Autumn/Winter 2010 design to hit our shores. Sienna in Empire yellow shimmering against bold black! She is a provocative guest in the bedroom, an audacious geometric floral that makes an unabashed statement, a fresh take on the mesmerising patterns of victorian wallpapers! I do hope you like her and our new photography!

Stunning

The wonderful Diane von Furstenberg - never shy of stunning colours and great prints! I love the strong mustard yellow with fabulous gold in this mini style "frock" - I just need the legs!

New Years Resolution

People keep asking me about my New Years resolution and I really cant think of one I am honestly going to stick to so I thought this image summed it all up for me - image from Third Draw Down.

Lovely styling

Such beautiful relaxed styling - I love it - a simple shot in Jan Country Style, the mag is certainly becoming quite inspirational in its photography lately - very contemporary country.
