When i'm feeling tired, and mostly in winter, i tend to gravitate towards soft pastels, my favourite being soft pink. There is something so relaxing and calm about it... Kellie x
This fabulous image just brightened my day, for some reason it just makes me so happy! Was freezing yesterday in Sydney, perhaps its me looking for some darling warm weather... Kellie xx
Such a beautiful combination - lime and pink. Such a favourite.
Interestingly I ordered some ballet shoes in lime, pink and two other colours as they were super duper cheap and thought, i ruin shoes so fast this way it wont bother me and i'll have a nice variety...
I thought the package was sadly lost so Saturday I gave up on the hope they would arrive and I ordered some more. And guess what turned up today... The original order that went missing and now i have another 5 pairs on the way!
Who needs 9 pairs of ballet shoes!? Whooley dooley!
There is something so glamourous about pink and gold. Just love it. Thank goodness it's Friday!! Have a wonderful weekend. Fingers crossed this Sydney weather warms up to be more summer like! Kellie xx
Green has grown on me, particularly with pink and lilac tones. I'm finding i'm drawn to in fashion as well. There is something really glamorous about it. I adored this look found over at Ivy + Piper. Fun, modern but super, duper gorgeous.
I adore this stunning look from Jason Wu's recent collection. Im not sure if its the fabulous pink fabric, the neon lips or just the absolutely divine texture of the skirt. Perhaps I just love the entire look. Amazing! Kellie xx
Here's a few snippets into my world this past week.
Our room was such a mess. It was at the point where I couldn't find shoes, clothes, face products etc... I'd been meaning to do it for a while but it was so out of control i was putting it off. Bags and bags of clothes for vinnies later, I had have lots of organisation and space and my shoes were back in order. Amazing how such a horrid task can make you feel so good! Now I can wear two shoes that match!!
Yes, our room, much represented this kind of disorganisation!!
I'm getting a bit sick and tired of our white door. Pondering other options...
Working on some pink things. I adore varying tones of pink depending on my mood. Seems this week is full of brightness. How pretty is that art too, such a beautiful watercolour. Kellie x

Continuing to work on some wonderful changes and additions to Ada & Darcy this weekend. This stunning colour palette is my inspiration, seeing this reminded me how much i love pinks, corals and oranges together. Being here will make it a priority! I always have so much going on in my mind, I feel I need to either write it down or put in on the blog. My note book is full of scribbles, with words here and there. In no order what so ever and I prefer not to have lines in my books so i can write on the diagonal!
I adore all these things for their fabulous colour. Bright colours just make me feel happy!
On the clothing front, I have been drooling over a pair of Victoria Beckham jeans... Anyone know if they are teeny tiny or regular European sizing?? xxx
Beautiful sample Chippendale Chairs all 20% off! View them here. Stunning colours... Perfect occasional chairs!
I loved this look, it's amazing how such a muted tone of pink teamed with black can look so sophisticated and glamourous. I also never seem to get sick of toned piping on sofas - such a gorgeous feature! Have a wonderful week everyone! Is anyone else shocked we are into May already?! Where did the last 5 months go!

I found this stand at my favourite vintage furniture store and decided on gorgeous pink for our hallway. Apologies for the poor shots - bad light this morning and the tight little nook its in has made it a little difficult! Loving the colour and so pleased with its gorgeousness! You can see the before shots below... Kellie x
I just adore our black and white striped rug! It makes our colours look even more brighter! Makes me happy every time I walk past it! Here are some cute pictures of the two girls, no reason, just because! Kellie xx
