Swedish photographer Pia Ulin does some lovely interior photography that I’m liking. The design theme I guess, resonates perfectly with the Scandinavian style of living; modern, clean and minimalistic and although I’m not a huge fan of a clean living palette, there are lots to like; like the cute alarm clocks perched on top of the bed headrest. Who really needs more than one? See more of Pia Ulin here.
Obsessing with embroidery at the moment as you can see! but what’s not to love about this intricate age old art...and so, I stumbled upon this gorgeous feathered white dress from YSL, dating back to the Winter of 2008. Embroidered with copper thread and appliquéd with black feathers and tiny sequins, I can only marvel at it's quiet sophistication each and every time. Unable to afford such joy’s, I have been thinking of visiting a haberdashery instead. VV Rouleaux
Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti lip motif dresses for the summer completely convince you that lips could look good on anything Philosophy. These sheer panel dresses have lip motifs beautifully embroidered onto soft tulle material giving off a light and delicately cool look. And you wouldn’t require much accessorizing too; just a pair of laced-up loafers and you are off!

I love décor with an oldies feel and furniture brand Bokja has made patchwork look cool again. Each furniture piece has been beautifully upholstered with rich, old fashioned fabrics which reminds me of my grandmother’s quilts. Bokja is a Lebanese furniture company set-up in 2000 by two ladies love for ancient tapestries, textiles and antique furniture all bundled into one. The result is beautifully crafted chairs, armchairs, sofas, day beds, swivel chairs - all handmade traditionally by craftswomen and men using textiles sourced from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Their pieces have even been selected to sit in Christian Louboutin stores worldwide! Read more at Bokja
A beautiful collection from Rochas with flowers belted at the waist! Designer Marco Zanini's inspiration for the collection is borrowed from the film ‘The Lover’, capturing the essence of a French girl living in 1929 French Indochina but here, with all the added embellishment. Eye candy are the sheer blouses with bra visibility, all so carefree and graceful. I sum it up as pretty unique!
These beautiful doll shaped pendants with Swarovski crystal chests are the creation of Servane Gaxotte, a young Parisian costume jewellery designer. See her unique collection of all 7 dolls on her website.
