Instamoments #8 | The Vignette
Instagram is such a great expression for personal style. It also forces me to move things around a little and try new things out a little more than before. This is actually a good thing because it freshens things up in the house as I use it as my little playground for styling. I also find myself buying a lot more flowers these days with Instagram in mind.
Citta Design’s Winter Collection
Tuesday morning saw the media launch of Citta Design’s 2015 Winter Collection, Deco Deco, inspired by the city of Paris. It took me a moment to take in the jaw-dropping venue of Silo 6, which set the scene for the stunning new collection.
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Lets talk about love. Yes it’s that time of year where things get a little cliché and quite frankly you either love it or you hate it. I’m personally not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, but I do see its merits. I figure, unless you’re in the first eighteen months of a relationship when you’re all starry eyed, sometimes you need a little nudge to dedicate a time to say, you’re kind of cool and I appreciate you. My parents gave me that idea. Years ago when we spoke about how they go away for a couple of days each year to celebrate their wedding anniversary, I kind of snuffed that idea. Why don’t they just do that kind of thing throughout the year spontaneously? They pulled me up on it. My step mother told me that if you don’t dedicate a day to celebrate your coming together as a couple, then every day is just going to merge into another, especially as the years go on and you’re not so “starry eyed”.

Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Coffee
Couleur café
Que j’aime ta couleur café
Coffee and plants. I’m not sure if Serge would agree with me, but it could be the new coffee and cigarettes non?
I couldn’t resist the latest Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge, especially seeing that I’m lucky enough that my husband works for Nespresso, and we live and breath coffee in our house.
The Garden Edit
I had one of those moments the other day. You know the type, you pin something that takes you to an online store and you’re in awe of an impeccably curated shop, and I mean impeccably. Absolutely so much regard has gone into it. Nothing is mass produced, most of it one of a kind, and by reading about the owner, you get it and you realise that the store is a perfect representation of that person and their tastes. The Garden Edit, is that kind of store.

Dream Catchers by Luu Studio
I made a bit of a speedy visit the Auckland Fair on Sunday. We had two out of our three children with us, and because the youngest missed her midday nap; it was without a doubt a little challenging. So I did what any blogger would do, I raced through and filled my bag with cards of everything caught my attention.
