Pretty hair art!

I was delighted to see the new range from ban.do... As you can tell this range is full of the "more is more" approach which is right up my alley. I adore the mix of textures, use of feathers and oversized pieces yet still that femininity that oozes out of each of their range.

If I had to pick a favourite I think it would have to be that HUGE blue satin bow. I do love a bow or two and in that navy colour, it's just stunning.

Art for the hair I say! Kellie xx

Hello little heart

A nice match

Loving this fabric. Considering it for a gorgeous white chippendale chair I will be ordering for my office.... xx

Pretty weekend peonies...

A lovely reader, Gina, from Serbia emailed these gorgeous peonies to me. How thoughtful and aren't those peonies just divine!

Thank you sending in such a beautiful picture Gina!

We have a long weekend this week, so lots of fun things planned and things to do around our house. Perhaps even time for a gelato or two as well. Kellie xx

A different kind of table styling

Seems I have pretty table settings on my mind this week although this one is very different from a post I put together yesterday. How gorgeous is the table linen and the gorgeous plates. each different, each with their own character. Of course that darling chandelier just hanging there so sweetly works a treat as well. I'm quite drawn to the flower arrangement too, possibly not my normal style but stunning nonetheless. Kellie xx

Two little darlings

I took this gorgeous photo on my phone last night. Poor quality photo, but two darlings in it so couldn't resist posting it to show you all. These girls are just perfection. Love them so much. Kellie xx

Darling table styling

What a stunning table setting. So elegant, rustic and ornate. I adore it's unfinished, easy look. Would fancy something like this for my home. Just for breakfast on a Saturday. Kellie xx

A gorgeous surprise

I received a gorgeous surprise at work! A absolutely beautiful bunch of flowers from my darling best friend Kate! Those roses are enormous and they smell magical! What a stunning colour combination - lavender and peach. Thank you Kate! xxxx

Putting my finger on it...

I would love to hear what you think about this kitchen. I think I really do like it and I can't quite put my finger on why. I think it's the mix of styles all rolled into one lovely space. Perhaps its the flooring, perhaps it's the glorious white feel or perhaps it's the lovely outdoor space that glistens in the back ground. Not quite sure. I can imagine though it absolutely wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea even though it is a relatively simple design and look.

Like it or not really getting it? Kellie x

Neutral tones.

What a beautiful photograph. Don't they say a picture tells a thousand words.

Love everything here, so classically stylish.

And LOVE those flowers popping out of her bag. And those earthy tones. Something i'm starting to build into my wardrobe more and more xx

All about the fabric...

What is it about luxurious textiles? They make my day. Every time. xx

A few pretty things...

Here are a few details of Nicole's gorgeous home and beautiful, beautful teacup collection.

I think this is where my love for them has come from. Whilst unfortunately I don't have as many little beauties decorating my home, I find that drinking tea in anything else but a teacup just doesn't taste the same.

What I particularily love about Nicole's collection is no two are the same, each has a different meaning and was collected at various times in Nicole's life. She also never uses the same teacup each day and rotates each of them so they all receive equa amounts of love.

Who lives here?

What an elegant interior with all that white and cream. And those cherry blossoms are divine which reminded me, not too long before they will be available at the flower markets.

The practical woman in me thinks, whoa now this is beautiful, but how on earth could anyone possibly maintain something like this? And it made me think, I wonder who lives here? A person who spends limited time in here but loves to come home to something fabulous? Or perhaps someone that is lucky enough to have a cleaner or clean themselves religiously? Or perhaps it's someone who has mastered the art of being pristinely clean at all times...

Regardless of who lives here, it's incredibly glamourous. Although, let me just confirm, certainly myself, Luke and our 2 dogs sadly wouldn't be welcome! Kellie xx

A beautiful long weekend!

What a lovely weekend. Thank you to Nicole, Ashlee, Bethany and Breanna for a weekend full of love, laughs and fun.

I thought I would show you a couple of flowers from Nicole's beautiful garden. Oh and her teacup selection which is ah, shall we say, quite extensive... Gorgeous!

I will post a couple more of her tea cups tomorrow. Kellie xx

A gorgeous substitute...

I didn't quite make the flower markets this weekend. This is beautiful in it's place. x
