Happy Home

It has been over two months since my last post, and loads has happened since then. Well maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it really feels that way. I won’t bore you with the details, but I will say that I am slowly beginning to feel like myself again, and am once again enjoying the things I love doing rather than sitting on the couch like a lump.

Last night I did a bit of an autumn clean… And have been looking at my lovely little home with fresh eyes. As always, I have loads of ideas about what I would like to do and change, but I lack the budget to do so. So it is more about strategic re-arranging than massive overhauls.


In the spirit of beautiful homes, I wanted to share the beautiful home of Joni Lay of  Lay Baby Lay, which I spotted on The Glitter Guide.

Fashion Friday: Gucci S16 RTW

Okay, so I know I am about a pre season late on the uptake of this one… But better late than never, hey?  

This collection though...

It may be one of the most inspiring ranges that I have seen in a long time. I often reflect on my days at college – where we were encouraged to push boundaries, with unusual styling and silhouettes and the unique details and finishes on our garments never went unnoticed. 
It is very different to the price driven, commercial facet of the business that I ended up working in.

This collection, by Alessandro Michele, takes me back to those days… The bold, colourful, eclectic days of creation for expression.

It is the Trompe l'oeil that initially caught my eye in this collection. The illusion of belts, bows and ruffles - Details brought to life by shimmering fabric. Quirky shoes and accessories that stand out, despite the dramatic garments. The combination of lightweight chiffons with shiny embossed brocade and the mixing of bold colours and different prints somehow works really well together - exciting my eyes and inspiring my mind.

Fashion Friday: Chanel Resort 2016

This is my first "Fashion Friday" post... Hell, who am I kidding - It's my first post since I mused about something on a Monday two weeks ago. 

None the less, I have decided to start a new segment on the blog.
On a Friday I will upload my favourite looks from various collections that inspire and excite me.

I am not sure if you have noticed, but I am slightly obsessed with alliteration, hence the name of the segment, and the need for it to happen on a Friday - It's super-cheese, I know.
