Going Global

I am going to California!

As I mentioned here, I believe in setting New Year’s resolutions. Goals or resolutions as they are called at this time of the year, are very necessary for personal development - knowing what one wants to achieve makes clear what to concentrate and improve on.

As long as they are realistic and attainable, the chance of failure or disappointment is minimal... On that note, it has been said “If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.” (Woody Allen).

Pep talk aside, I know many people resolve to organise and de-clutter their lives. I have been trying my hardest to try and let go of clothes and shoes that I hardly...okay fine... never wear, organising Tupperware cupboards, filing paperwork, sorting through magazines, and struggling through my bookshelves. Clearly Emily, of Cupcakes and Cashmere fame, had the same objective. Below are some pictures she posted on her blog. I am sure you will agree that the end result makes it well worth it.

Ta-da! How fabulous is this office...

Take a moment to notice the gorgeous gold pouf, just like the one I blogged about here.

Gemma Ward

I absolutely adore these pictures of Gemma Ward I found on Katie Armour. Gemma Ward was born on 3 November 1987 in Perth, Western Australia. At sixteen, she was the youngest model to be listed by American Vogue as one of the nine "It Girls" in the modeling world. In November 2009, Ward confirmed that she was retiring following a series of criticisms about her weight gain – I know, right?

Paola Zakimi

Decor8 featured artist Paola Zakimi the other day - what an awesome find! Paola spent her childhood in Patagonia, Argentina, and later studied Arts and Graphic design in Buenos Aires. I am completely in love with her works... And have literally pictured all the below images in particular places in my home.
