Skipping to the beat

Jazz shoes

Wear print on your feet with these gorgeous designs. Either go for clashing prints for seasonal catwalk points or keep to clean lines and let the one print speak for itself.

Back to the studio

Today I am loving vintage Jerry Hall, the face of the Studio 54 era. With her endless legs and gorgeous hair, she still represents the 70s fashion revolution...

Most people have first hand knowledge and experience of procrastination (...especially students!) and I have just discovered the ULTIMATE procrastination website. Aptly named, www.iwastesomuchtime.com is a collection of images, videos and other amusing things discovered while wasting time online...here is a selection.



(This post took me about 3 hours to write after getting 'momentarily' distracted by this website...)

Lana Del Rey is now famous for more than her beautiful voice and entrancing music, she is beautiful and impeccably dressed. She is just as comfortable in elegant old Hollywood glamour as in a pair of ripped denim shorts, both perfectly accessorised with bee stung lips and signature coiffed hair.

Laying out

We live to dwell

Yesterday marked the opening of the stylish interiors company Dwell in Cardiff, a delightful mix of understated chic and quirky accessories. The quality furniture, textiles and accessories are a real mix and match affair producing countless combinations. I absolutely fell in love with the printed cushions, priced around £30, and the unusual lighting features that illuminate the shop space.



Dwell has a very modern feel but many of the designs are based on 60s and 70s shapes, and traditional wooden furniture is propelled into the present with acrylic finishes. 



Even if you cannot stretch to buy a new dining room table or sofa, the smaller products such as lighting features, mirrors and cushions will easily update existing features in your home.
