Happy Fathers Day

It's Fathers Day today and it's got me thinking all about family...

I love this sign. It reminds of my original fab four; Mum, Dad, John and me...

Happy Fathers Day to all your Dads and husbands, partners, brothers and sons...

Especially to mine!

Anna's Abbey Road

. 

I just like this picture of Anna Wintour crossing 6th avenue in New York. It's her own Abbey Road!

Speaking of Abbey Road, check out this live web cam of the actual Abbey Road pedestrian crossing which was set up to show people doing their own version of the epic crossing by The Beatles!  If you watch long enough you may even see the inevitable bride and groom shot which takes place there nearly everyday apparently!

Summer With Bobbi

Here is Bobbi Brown's Summer look. The Tortoiseshell collection is based around warm sandy tones mixed with metallic bronze shades. Very wearable, very lovely.  No, they don't set the makeup world alight with ingenuity and raw modernity, but they are great to wear and suit everyone. A no-brainer collection that you know will make you look good. Don't question it, just try it on! (I love the model's tortoiseshell glasses by Oliver Peoples too!)

Bobbi's very chic little brush set...

The two new lip shades to complement the collection...

This is the Bronze palette, you have the choice of a slightly paler one called Sand too...

It's on counters in July and worth a look.

Kate's New Clutch

Have you seen this new Kate Spade clutch bag? 

Lovely. Just lovely.

Books & Records

Music and books make for a happy interiors mix for me! I think they should be displayed with as much emphasis as your art choices for the walls. I adore these two pictures. The one above reminds me of my Dad's epic vinyl collection that he has acquired through his 40+ years as a radio broadcaster. What a sweet family photo idea (one that I may indeed copy!)

Books, books everywhere! Such a great way to use a wall! I really like how they are featured in this dining room. I'm also loving the mis-matched chairs at the table...

Dress Crush

I'm going to my first same sex wedding next week (exciting!) and I'm looking for a dress that will be suitably glam yet ok for the day to night transition. Isn't it tricky to dress for a wedding sometimes? This little beauty has caught my eye, I love the watercolour effect and the leather belt.  And the large blue ring is super cool too..

Chairs of Blue and Yellow

I'm a huge fan of single mis-matched chairs in a vibrant colour or striking pattern. Love the design of this fabric.

This is the Madeline chair from Urban Outfitters, I think the muted turquoise is lovely...

Sunny lemon! Wouldn't this make a room so cheery...

I just want to sit on this chair and gaze out the window!
