My Little Projects

Photography: Sean Ash for Miu Miu

The spring summer collection for Miu Miu is very shiny & glam... The campaign photographs were shot by Sean Ash and are really striking. On the Miu Miu website you can also find 'behind the scenes' images which are just as beautiful as the campaign shots...

Books: Book by its cover

Another great blogsite...

Book by its cover is a site with a collection of great art, design, handmade and children's books. Each book has been carefully picked for its unique qualities. Take a peek...

Inspiration: Print & Pattern

I think Print & Pattern may be my new favourite blog. Print & Pattern is a blog full of the latest trends in patterns and design. It is such a useful resource for all designers, and I could browse through it for hours....

Interiors: Osborne & Little

It looks like we will be moving house in the next couple of months. I may be getting a little ahead of myself but I am already planning the interior of each room in the new house. Osborne & Little have such a vast array of beautiful fabrics and wallpapers that 'minimal' will not be a word associated to our new home. I am going to adorn every corner with butterfly, birds, flower & leaf prints.

Inspiration: Green With Envy

Although the rain may not be our ideal way to start the summer, it certainly is good for our gardens! Luscious green shades and zingy summer brights are filtering through fashion and interiors. I especially love this funky green chair (great for outdoors) by Jean Marie Massaud found on Porro.

From top left: Bright floral print fabric cushions from ideal home magazine, contemporary floral designs (great for wedding flower ideas) by Ink and Peat, beautiful fresh vintage style fabric designs by Amy Butler and this amazing low outdoor chair by Jean Marie Massaud (Porro Designs) found on Living etc.

Travel: The coolest hotel in the world?

Hotel Puerta America Madrid has to be the most stylish contemporary hotel around. Each floor is designed by a world renowned designers, artists and architects like Norman Foster, John Pawson and Marc Newson. Hotel Puerta America Madrid is so uber cool and style driven that I wonder if it is actually a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. I do love the fact that even the underground parking area has been meticulously designed!

Interiors: Emery & Cie

I have spent the whole weekend painting the interior doors of our flat white, ready for it to be valued this week. It is always quite sad neutralising a flat ready to sell, so I have started to look forward to how we may be able to decorate our new house when we get it! I have just found a company called Emery et Cie that supplies Moroccan inspired fabrics, tiles, furniture, paint & wallpaper. Emery et Cie style is a great contrast to the bland minimalism that fills so many interiors these days!

fabulous!

Fashion: Getting Stitched

As a bridesmaid for two friends next year, I have just started helping them research their wedding dresses. One of the lovely brides sent me the link to a site of a dressmaker. Jenny Lessin creates bespoke made to measure dresses that are beautifully crafted and completely unique. Jenny Lessin's creations are so lovely that I may have to persuade my friend that maybe us bridesmaids deserve one of Jenny's creations too.

Fashion: Greg Kadel

Greg Kadel is a photographer based in New York. Greg has a wonderful portfolio of images for many top fashion magazines like vogue, harpers, I-D and face. I could have put so many of his photos on here, but narrowed it down to nine, hence the larger picture than normal. The dresses in his shoots are fabulous too!
