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.
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.

So I did what any blogger would do, I raced through and filled my bag with cards of everything caught my attention.
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Cosy & Green Bedroom
I always have some plants in the bedroom, but it’s usually on the table beside the window, where there’s light. I quite like the idea of having some green beside the bed though, so this month’s Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge, “cosy and green” was welcome. It makes sense to have some plants close to where you sleep, they purify the air for one, and some how make us feel more at ease.

Amanda Dziedzic Handblown Glass
Just yesterday, I discovered glass artist, Amanda Dziedzic through her newly released collaboration with Gorman Hometime. I love how Kit Gorman works with talented local and international artists and this particular collection is the sweetest limited edition glass carafe and tumbler set, all hand blown. I would have loved to have shown them here but the images were a little too small. They’d make a such a gorgeous gift, so do pop over to take a look.
