Hello 2012

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

After a much needed break, I'm back and very excited about 2012. Our holiday was lovely, spent time with family, pottered around and worked on wonderful things for the coming months. I have taken a few snaps of some things around my home that have been in play these last few weeks....

Have loved to relax in beautiful bright Camillas, shoulder strapped bags that have changed my life (no more headaches from carrying heavy bags), playing with gorgeous glass and lovely fragrances in my home, a favourite summer fragrance, fabulous new (and very tall) shoes and divine prints for customers.....

Busy, busy but wonderful.

Ps. Ive had lots of interest in the shoes, here is the link, they are Guiseppe Zanotti's from Netaporter but i have seen them at Saks and Shopbop too! These were a lovely friend from my darling friend Kate! xx

I'm Back!

I'm back from a little holiday on the Sunshine Coast. Fabulous food, swimming in the warm weather and having the most beautiful coffees at Costa Noosa. My hair may have changed colour in the chlorine pool but those coffees I had there at Costa Noosa made up for this and were the most outrageously delicious long blacks I have ever had.

Just realised they sell coffee beans online {thank goodness}. Anyone who remembers my coffee after one visit gets a big tick in my book. And, being a very visual girl, their coffee cups are pretty divine as well. x

Holiday = Booked

Summer holiday = booked! Yippeee. Can't wait to have our own gorgeous pool on the Noosa River {my enthusiasm for a pool is due to not having one as a child and as an adult im desperate for one!!}. It's my favourite place. Love the shops, the restaurants, the weather and the stunning location. Can't wait! Kellie xx

Got it!

That amazing pool area from yesterday is from the Sala Resort in Phuket - so incredibly delightful! Thank you for letting me know Secret Stylist!!! Kellie xx

Booking that holiday...

I tend not to think that far in advance, but booking a sunny holiday in Noosa, makes me motivated to get everything in order. For this year's trip to Noosa, we are thinking about staying in a rental property rather than a resort. The thought of having a pool to myself is very enticing as I grew up without a pool... Here are images of some of the shortlisted properties! Very excited! Kellie x

Well hello you pretty beach house!

Today is the day, the day I go back to work. So, what better way to celebrate and dream about another destination called the Pretty Beach House. Pricey, luxurious and very, very fabulous. 

Relaxed and revived...

I am back from my mini holiday with Kate! It was a beautiful weekend.... We had some fantastic wine (we bought lots), had some beautiful meals (the best fish and chips i have had in ages) and saw lots of beautiful, amazing things! The highlight was the most divine breakfast, the owner Carol at Thistle Hill cooked beautiful cakes and poached fruit each morning and as you can see in some of my pics the decor there is gorgeous! Just so lovely..... Here are just a few picturess of the weekend, hope you enjoy. Kellie xx
