 Last year was such a good year for me, filled with so much love, laughter and adventures. This year my darlings will be even better! How do I know? I sense it, I feel there's something special around the corner, a little sparkle here and there, with a dash of magic. Ok, ok, I know it might sound like crazy talk, but my lady senses (yes ladies you know what I mean) is picking up on something, I

Oh my dears I've missed you so, so much. I would have completely understood if you had deserted me during this re-adjustment days of my life, but instead you've stuck by me, and not a day goes by without me receiving messages of love and encouragement, so I send a million kisses to each and everyone of you. I promised you London adventures and delivered nothing, zero, not even fish n' chips (

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, I managed to catch up on some much needed sleep so that was really cool. Today being a Monday, and a grey one too, I wanted to start the week with something beautiful, colourful and very uplifting! About a couple weeks a ago Kimberly

Those of you following this blog for some time now would have known that today was rather a special day for me. It was my return to the "education system" (so to speak), first day of my masters program. Since graduating from undergrad school, I've always felt that I wanted to further my studies, but wasn't quite sure I wanted do it in architecture. I worked for two years in two London practices,

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the Enignum bed, the worlds most glamourous canopy bed. This beautiful example of exquisite craftsmanship, is the brainchild of Irish designer Joseph Walsh. Designed to give the user sensations of being sheltered by natural elements whilst asleep indoors. Totally breathtaking isn't it? Anyone else feeling it as much as I am?

New seasons always gives new reasons for wardrobe updating, or in this case accessories. I'm never the type to go out and buy tons and tons of stuff, instead I prefer to pick a few key items, which compliments what I already have. This autumn, I'm loving these knitted bow headbands by Emma. They are so gorgeous and feminine, and comes in a variety of colours to spice up any outfit. Just the

via Happy Monday my lovelies, it's actually quite sunny and bright outside, so a beautiful start for the week ahead. I'm also happy to report that the city of London is alive with chaos right now, as Saturday saw the beginning of The London Design Festival. I'm super excited about all the exhibitions and installation, and as usual it's hard to decided where to start, what to see and (importantly)

I thought I might wrap this week up nicely by sharing the works of one of my favourite photographers, Simon Upton. Some of you might recogise the name, as his images often appear in publications such as Vogue, The world of Interiors, Harpers Bazaar and the like. I love his style of compositions, and I enjoy spending time absorbing all the little details contained in each photograph.  I hope you

I wonder what goes through your mind when you hear the words cosmopolitan, or sweet and wicked mojito. I'm guessing it wouldn't be cupcakes, right? Well think again. In celebration of the National cupcake week, bakers all over England are turning up the heat in the kitchen to bring us some pretty usual and intense flavours. As a cupcake lover (of the blueberry kind) myself, I say bring it on.

I'm not really familiar with the Chinese interior design industry, so you can imagine my delight to have discovered this beautiful portfolio of DYEast Design Consultant. Please take some time to marvel at their work, I've taken the best part of the morning doing so. Rather breath taking isn't it? Now the bad news is that they do not currently have a website, hard to believe I know. Apparently

My dear darlings the time has finally come for me to bid a fond farewell to freedom. Next Wednesday is the first day of university, which means that I have just under one week to relax, enjoy myself, and take it easy. I would also like to use this time to shop for some school stuff, I had the most ordinary stationary during my degree days, so now I want to do my masters in style. You know

The sheer glamour and romance of this room simply knocked me off my feet the moment I set my eyes on it. I love the assortment of purples used and the placement of lighting at various heights. There's the chandelier (which we only get a glimpse of), the standing lights next to the daybed, at opposite ends, and then the wall mounted lantern to the right of the picture. Pure perfection!

Happy Monday beautiful people! I truly hope that the weather has treated you better than it has me. This morning I was kindly greeted by gigantic grey clouds, hence the reason for this summery post. There's an art to living in London you see, you can either go with the flow and be saddened by the constant greyness, or you can take control, seize the moment as they say and fill your world with

Just because it's Friday doesn't mean we have to slack off now, does it? How about a little afternoon game to perk us up. What you have is four images of a celebrity's home, and you have till Monday to guess whose house it is. Lucky for you guys the magazine I got this from has provided some very useful clues, but unluckily, I will be naming the source next week. So sorry, no cheating! Any luck

It's time to get personal guys, don't worry no confessions needed, I'm just talking about these beautiful personalised stamps by illustrator Holly-Anne Rolfe. Each one is made into an ink sketch image of the clients home, so the end result is rather charming and fairytale like. They can be used as tags for presents or on envelopes, for a more old fashion touch. I really like the idea of these,

I fell in love with this beautiful Bollywood inspired Mathew Williamson chair, the moment I clasped my eyes on it. I've searched high and low but I haven't seen it anywhere else, so I'm guessing he designed it just for his own home. If anyone knows where to find this lovely piece of furniture, then please let me know, probably out of my price range, but I still wanna know. Cheers,        xo

I love it when top fashion designers step into the world of interiors. Mathew Williamson's home collection for the British department store Debenhams, is as beautiful and stylish as the pieces that he creates for the catwalk. As usual there is his signature of colour explosion and exoticism. The embroidery details are exquisite, and so are the patch work of the bedding. As if this wasn't enough,

HELLO AUTUMN! Ok, ok, I know it's not officially autumn yet, but today is the first of September and I am in the mood for the new season, even if I have to give it a gentle push. Please excuse my outburst, but my darlings, I am so, so giddy today. Giddy as a school girl with a crush! Why? I hear you ask. Two reasons, the rest of my stuff just arrived from Venice (literally) half an hour ago, so

Ok I know we can't see the whole thing. But the little bit that we do see, lets us know that there is a whole lotta beauty inside. Exposed bricks (my passion), teal walls, and from what I can tell, a gorgeous bed. Even the golden tassels on the antique wardrobe is divine. Anyone else share my passion?

Scary thought been a student again, I feel like it was just yesterday that I was zipping around Venice in a boat, hopping from one island to the next, and now my life is going to be about lectures,

I have to admit that I went off Ikea the minute my billy bookcase started to fall apart within a couple of months, but a collection like this is enough to tempt me right back. Really digging those fruit and veggie baskets. What say you darlings, thumbs up or down?

I couldn't resist anymore! I had to show you guys what I've been drooling over recently. Isn't it stunning? I really wish they featured it in the magazine, but unfortunately this front page is all there is. What a total tease, I say. From the gorgeous bed and dresser, to the lantern sitting on the window sill, I love every little detail. I look at this picture, and I see glamour, femininity, and

I want to live here. Period. Contemporary, clean lines and lots of open space, what's not to love about this space. Did you guys get a whiff of the bathroom? The way it was over hanging form the bottom floor? I love every last detail of this home, especially the floor to ceiling windows, the whole place is essentially flooded with lots and lots of natural light. Images via freshome Designed by

I'm a real sucker for this kind of stuff. I really love objects that make everyday items a little bit more interesting, you know? Who says that olive oil has to be in a generic bottle, when it can be easily stored in this beautifully decorated jar. Look they even have salad plates to match. Perfect dinnerware for an end of summer barbecue. I really urge you folks to head over to Du Veldt

How to create more seating place. I remember when I lived in Italy (like last month), whenever it came to dinners, there were never enough chairs for all the people invited. Luckily for my flatmates and I, we had really friendly neighbors who always lent us their dining chairs. However, I do like this idea of bench seating, stylish and ideal, all at the same time.

...sadly for me, I have a BlackBerry. For those of you who love art and architecture, but have never heard of the Venice Biennale, then I bring you good news. It is the biggest art and architecture festival in the world. Period. I started going every year since a couple of years ago, and I always leave inspired. It usually alternates between art and architecture and this year is the architecture

Happy Monday my darlings! Good weekend? My Saturday was hectic and filled with way too many errands, but yesterday eased off a little bit and I had a lazy evening, which gave me time to catch up with my blog and magazine reading. I came across this beautiful garden retreat in Country Living, and how I wish I had one just like it! Very green chic, I would use it as a studio, as well as a little

Before signing off for the weekend... I wanted to share this beautiful French style interior with you folks. Funnily enough, this house is no where near France. It's in London! Extremely lovely isn't it? For some reason there's something very romantic about it all, do you guys get the same feeling, or is it just me? ...mmm, anywhoo my darlings, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your weekend! Images via

Autumn is in the air.... ...but lets not wave good-bye to summer just yet. Unfortunately for this London girl, the weather here hasn't been too friendly lately, so I can only dream of beautiful homemade alfresco dinning. For you lucky ones out there basking in the warm sunshine, I hope you make the most of your outdoor space before it's all over. Images via Freshome

To soothe my sweet tooth... Cocomaya in London serves up the most delicious delicacies. No more wishing, swooning and drooling. If my craving gets any stronger, I will head down there. I need some moral support people, has anyone else got the case of the sweet tooth?

A bit of luxury in the countryside I love everything about this living room! It caught my eye as I was flicking through September's issue of House & Garden, and I knew I had to share. The dark floors and walls makes it very cosy, whilst the white furnishes brings in the light. As well as enlarging the space, the mirrors on the wall gives it the finishing touches. I can definetly see myself

Happy Monday folks! Strawberries, cream, and suppers in the garden, these are some of my favourite things about British summers.  Brightly coloured glassware and pretty floral dinnerware, I love the femininity of it all. A mix of wood and cast iron dinning furniture makes everything so dated. As if Mr Darcy is about to walk in any minute, followed by Jane Austin herself. Through in a hammock, and

Feast your lovely eyes on this show stopping house. Although I don't believe in this whole Friday the 13th thing, I know there are a lot of people that do, so I wanted to make today's post super beautiful and full of inspirations, to take their mind of things.

My darlings, apologies for my absence yesterday. It's been a little hectic since I moved back. Yesterday, I decided I had had enough of living out of my suitcases, so I spent all day unpacking and cleaning, making space for all the new stuff I brought over from Venice. After a day and a half, it's all done! It feels so good to be settled again. The London sky is so grey today, I'm in urgent need

....and am feeling blue. I'm a feminine kinda girl, and my favourite colour has always been pink, but recently, I've been drawn more to the blues than anything else. I love the tranquility it creates, when combined with white. Or its richness when teamed with chocolate brown. Mostly, the thing I like about this hue, is its adaptability. It comes in so many shades and can be mixed with a variety

I don't have any kids, but if I did.... ...these cute and colourful Lego storage boxes, will definitely be on the top of my list. Just like the real building blocks, you can actually stack them up too. The company that makes them is called store, they will be out around the mid of August, but you can pre-order them online.

To infinity and beyond! That was my immediate thought, as soon as I saw this never ending pool.Spectacular isn't it? Designed by a Spanish architect, Ramon Esteve, to give the feelings of being on holiday whilst in your own house. For me, I love the use of natural materials. Stone, wood and water, have come together beautifully to create this masterpiece home. So what do you guys think, are you

Hello darlings, I just popped in to say a quick hi and bye. I desperately wanted to make a post today, but I'm not going to be able to unfortunately. I just came back home from saying more good byes to friends, getting a few presents for folks back home, and making the odd apology for my departure, to be honest I'm too emotionally drained to put any words together.

Join the celebrations.... Today is my last day at work, and my last working day in Italy. I seriously cannot believe that it has already been 11 months, actually in a weird way it feels like I have been here longer. So many things have happened, so many adventures, good times, sad times and especially embarrassing times. Have some champagne my dears, here's to life and making the most of it.

A mid-afternoon dream... Packing is such a stressful job, seriously! First, there's the packing of the suitcases, then the boxes to be shipped, and also taking the bike (of course I'm taking my gorgeous Pinarello with me) to the shop to be dismantled and boxed. I'm already exhausted, there's a million and one things to be done, and they must all be done right now. Thank-fully I was lucky enough

A wish come true.... There was once a young traveling designer, who woke up one morning and longed to be back home with her beloved family, friends and beautiful city. She contemplated about her wishes, should she stay in the kingdom of Italy for the remaining month or should she pack up and return to her kingdom of Great Britain. After thinking long and hard, short and narrow, large and wide,

At the risk of sounding like a Hollywood actress making her acceptance speech, I would first of all like to thank God. For the confidence and continued inspirations.

Bassano del Grappa I'm the girl lucky enough to be lounging around this pool all day Saturday. It's a real beauty, isn't it? Both the pool and the art deco style architecture, they look like something from Architectural Digest. The house belongs to my friend, and is situated in Bassano del Grappa, a beautiful town in northern Italy. This is a good example of why it's good not to plan things

Welcome to Relais Monaco... Oh, was the word I thought when we arrived at this beautiful hotel yesterday evening. When a friend invites you to after work apperitivo, naturally you assume that it's a fairly low key event, right? Obviously wrong! So there we were, five under-dressed girls and a dog, peeking into the gate, trying to decide if we should go in or not. Finally we did, and this is what

Top of the morning darlings! I'm absolutely loving this Victorian house, especially the summery colour palette. I really like it when the kitchen opens up to a beautiful porch, it makes the whole space bigger, and perfect for entertaining. For me this is the best bit about the house, I have a major love for sun decks. I wish more city homes came like this, with lots of space to live as you like.

Etsy bitsy spider...... Today, I wondered over to the Etsy website, and I found these items absolutely adorable. Suddenly the thin line between wanting and needing is blurring. The wooden bowl, in my ever-so-humble opinion, is a summer must have. It gives that extra touch to alfresco dinning, no?  The polka dot pillow is probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it was love at first sight. As for

Morning darlings, good weekend? Mine came with a touch of sparkles. Saturday was a really good day. I spent the afternoon at the beach with friends, and in the evening the festival of Il Redentore (which marks the end of the plague) started. At around 11:30 pm, the Venetian sky erupted with the most beautiful fireworks display, oh so romantic my dears. Sunday was a bit more relaxing, I slept late

At first I wasn't sure about these wallpaper stickers that have suddenly started popping up in the interior design scene. ....but now I think am converted. In the right setting, why not? They can add add a certain whimsical humor to a space. The first image is my favourite, it's playful and funny, I can see it in my own home, but I'll probably replace the couch.

I'm home my darlings, and what a relaxing break, I did nothing! Again, I apologise for the internet failure, but as fate would have it, the connection at my parents house decided to play up 2 days prior to my arrival, and my internet key didn't fuction properly in Britain, it took a few attempts to finally send out my emergency post. Anyway, things are back to normal now, blogging as usual

It's so good to be back home, sleeping in my old room, my mum making a fuss over me, and enjoying the great British summer. Contrary to popular belief, we are actually having a really good weather, the sun is out, and unlike Venice, it's not burning. Actually, this is a really good time to be here, as the strawberry season has just begun. Let me tell you folks, there's nothing like home-grown

Seriously I am! I completely forgot to tell you folks 2 weeks ago, that I had booked my flights to London. One whole week! Whoo! It happened over the weekend, and I think on a particularly eventful weekend, so by Monday, it became old news. Fear not my beautiful darlings, I will still be blogging as usual, bringing you all the gossip from home sweet home. Bye folks, I need to pack my bags now, am

It recently dawned on me a couple of days ago, that I haven't got the right summer shoes. I love my balley flats, but they are way too hot for this weather. I am in desperate need of the triple S. "Smoking, summer, sandals (yes am quite proud of that concoction). These are my 10 best picks, and you know what the best thing is? They are all on sale, so check out the kurt Geiger website.

Exhibit A, the macho kitchens Apparently the key element that most masculine kitchens have, is their industrial style, be gone with the frilly aprons and pastel coloured fridges, the steel is in.

Welcome back friends, good weekend? Mine was a little less quite than I had initially thought, but very exciting all the same. I went jet skiing yesterday, well more paddling around the sea than anything else, it turns out it's not as easy as it looks on baywatch. So this morning am in the mood for a touch of comfort and luxury. What a beauty, right? I think it's halfway between a gallery and a

Happy Friday! It has to be said that this one took a bit long to get here, or perhaps it's just me. Am still not fully recovered from last week's island hopping, each night I plan to go to bed early, but it never happens. Either it's midnight ice cream or spritz with the girls, there's always something keeping me past my ideal bed time. On the other hand, it's summer, the nights are warm and

I've seen this house a couple of times on the net, and I love it, but for some reason I've never blogged about it. Well there you go my lovelies. It definitely has the wow factor, right? ....a dip in the pool anyone? For me the beauty of it lies within the simple use of materials and excellent creation of space. It's minimal, yet warm and inviting. What do you think folks? Images via

Morning darlings, am sending a huge sunny hug to all of you. Those of you who read my post yesterday will remember me mentioning that I bought a very beautiful antique type writer over the weekend. The market was full of so many lovely items, which came with hefty prices too. So I've put together all the things that I really liked and wish I could have. That dress makers dummy is so adorable, I

Well you know what they say, people that live on islands, must hop around (kidding, no body says that). It's long been my best friend's dream to go to Burano, so when she came with her boyfriend for a weekend visit, it was my pleasure to make her dreams come true. Yep! Welcome to island hopping part 2. First stop was Murano, famed for it's glass making industry. Unfortunately when we didn't see

Hello everyone! Was it me or did the weekend fly by quicker than you can say Ijeoma by Ijeoma (..ha ha, poor joke I know). Hope you all had relaxing breaks, it will be nice to hear what you got up to. Mine was hectic, but absolutely fantastic (ooh that rhymed!). In the words of Brittany Spears, oops I did it again! I've been island hopping again, this time with my childhood best friend and her

I would like to kick the weekend off by making a toast. Some friends of mine are coming from Amsterdam for the weekend, and am so excited. Actually it's my childhood best friend and her boyfriend. I haven't been feeling too good recently so I pray for a miraculous recovery in time to welcome them. So lets all raise our glasses to a virtual toast, here's to life, love, family, friends, and of

I have this thing about white decors, it's a bit of a love, hate (ok maybe hate is a strong word) relationship. It's so beautiful, and crisp, but I wouldn't dare have it in my own home. I don't know about you guys but I draw the line at having a decor that is higher maintenance than me. So for now I'll look but won't touch. Enjoy these beautiful white decors my darlings. Aren't they lovely?

I know I've moaned about it on and on, but am long over due for a holiday. Seriously! It's time for a change of scenery, air and perhaps everything else. August is fast approaching and I still haven't made any plans for where to go. Well, I might not know where am going, but I would like to get there in style. Aspinal of London is in my heart and on my wish list at the moment. Gorgeous

Perhaps it's because we're in summer, or maybe am naturally a sucker for all things vibrant. When I wondered over to Living etc, I fell for these colourful living rooms, very fresh and uplifting I think.  My living room could do with a touch of colour, any favourites my dears?

Happy Monday my darlings, today's weather isn't very cheery, so am really trying my best to think positively. Quite a difficult task when it's raining, damp and cloudy. Did you guys have a good weekend? Mine was quite nice, I had a traditional Venetian sea food dinner at a friend's place, very yummy. It rained a lot through out Saturday and Sunday, so I couldn't wander around Venice like I

Happy Friday my lovelies, any weekend plans? I haven't really got anything scheduled, tonight am partying and tomorrow will be spent wandering around Venice. I've lived here for nearly a year now and yet this island never fails to captivate me. I love spending the day walking around and discovering new places, the city is such a beautiful labyrinth.  Am completely besotted with everything island

Hello my dears, how is the day going? Mine was mighty good until the heavens opened a few moments ago, and now it feels more like an Indian monsoon, than a bright, sunny, Italian summer. Every time it pours like this I yearn to be somewhere cosy, and indulging in my favourite comfort food. Bangers and mash, with gravy of course (....Brit slang for sausages and mash potato with gravy), or perhaps

Morning darlings, am so happy we're half way through the working week. I've been thinking of having a barbecue, nothing big, just a few friends, great food and music. That's all the important ingredients right?....Wrong! Since it's likely to be in the evening, along a river path, then it's important to have the right lighting to set the mood (if you know what I mean, wink, wink). These are my

Good morning my lovelies! Come stai? (...it means how are you in Italian). I had a fantastic weekend, not even last night's storm could dampen my mood. I seriously don't know what's up with this weather, as soon as you relax and get into the summer mood, you get hit by thunder and lightning. On Saturday, I went to a party in Lido, which is a beach next to Venice. Then yesterday I relaxed all day,

I haven't had time to plan anything for the two day break, but I heard there's a party on the beach somewhere, so I might check that out tomorrow. Before bidding you a fond farewell my dears, and kissing you on both cheeks, in accordance

My darlings I need a holiday. I know everyone feels like this, especially around this time of year, but I really do need to get a away for a little while. I've been thinking a lot about where my destination should be, and to be honest am having difficulties in deciding. At first I thought about spending 2 weeks in Rome, or maybe a tour around northern Italy, but my friend invited me to New York

Good evening my darlings, am so sorry for such a late post, I know it's no excuse but today has being absolutely manic! This is the first time that I've properly sat down all day, but you know what? Am not gonna sit and moan to you folks, it's my fault that time management got the better of me. Speaking of which, there's a really good book that I've been meaning to get from Anthropologie,  but

I don't know about you guys, but for me it's getting way too hot. Regardless of what am wearing, I always find myself desperately in need of a chilled bottle of water and a fan. When the weather is like this, it's hard not to complain, extremity is never a good thing....not unless you purposely decide to put a positive spin on it. Am talking about gardening folks, it's that time of year to head

Goo-od Monday Morning darlings! Was it a nice break? Compared to last week's island hopping, this weekend was much more relaxing. The party on Friday was a nice end to the working week, I can't remember if I mentioned in my last post that it was a fairy tale themed party. I went as princess Jasmin from Aladdin, and no you can't see the pictures (.....I still want to have you as friends). Saturday

I feel like standing on top of a roof and shouting from the bottom of my lungs, IT'S FRIDAY! This week hasn't been that bad due to the mid-week public holiday, but am very glad that the weekend is finally here. Tonight is going to be a bitter-sweet moment for me, as am going to my friends farewell party. Really looking forward to ending the day with a great get together, but dreading the good

Remember my last post when I said that life has a funny sense of humor? Well, I totally stand by my remark! Imagine my face yesterday afternoon at around 3pm (European time of course), when I stepped out of my apartment, hopped onto my bike, and peddled for a couple of minutes before being nicely greeted by the rain. Actually, no need to imagine, I'll tell you that it wasn't a happy face. After

Today is a public holiday, and instead of heading out to the beach with my roomie and some friends, am in my room doing some office work. Life sure does have a funny sense of humor!

Of course I would be
