GORGEOUS SCANDINAVIAN PRINTS FROM DESENIO

I LOVE  a good piece of art. Or a pretty picture. But let’s be honest, it’s not so easy finding stunning prints or art work that is both affordable and easy to frame. Particularly, if you’re anything like me and have a wee penchant for gallery walls!

Elsie Creates A Treasure Box

My two year old daughter is crafty. And I don’t mean in the sneaky sense, but in the ‘loves to paint, colour, draw and stick as much as she can’ kind of sense.

Toddlers are

STYLE (Interior): A little peek inside Elsie’s nursery…

I can’t tell you how proud I am of Elsie’s nursery. After moving house when Elsie was just seven weeks old, we didn’t manage to get her nursery finished until a few months ago.

A FEW years ago on eBay I purchased this fabulous pair of vintage Russell & Bromley disco-tastic heels. They are one of the most divine pair of shoes I have ever seen in my life (and make no mistake I’ve seen a few), but there is a problem. Yes folks, unfortunately they are just a teeny bit too small for my size six feet. I’ve tried all manner of ways

MODERN technology is fabulous, don’t get me wrong, but when it comes to connecting with another human being, a handwritten letter is where magic lies. Here are five good reasons, to put down your phone and pick up a pen. Today. * It’ll make somebody’s day Phone calls, skype chats, tweets and emails may all be quicker, but when it comes to communicating, a thoughtful handwritten letter trumps them all.

Poutalicious art!…

AS  a lady who loves lips and occasionally the odd bit of pouting, it’s perhaps no surprise that I have fallen head over (stylish) heels for this female artist and her amazing work.       American artist Natalie Irish creates stunning images by using just her lips! Her prints are created solely by her kissing the canvas which gives a whole new meaning to ‘pout power’!     So
