Beautiful soaps



I have started collecting these soaps which I just bought from David Jones. There are so many different colours and patterns I could decide which ones to buy. I love them because of their outside wrapping, its just like wallpaper on a soap bar. The patterns are so intricate. They also smell really nice!

GINGERBOY



I discovered this photo while reading the Wallpaper magazine, it is a newly opened restaurant called Gingerboy in one of Melbourne's narrow back streets in the city. The very small area for the restaurant has been maximised by Architects Elenberg Fraser. I love their design of using mirrors on one wall to open up the room and also the use of clear perspex chairs similar to Philippe Starcks Louis ghost chair which just disappear into the space. The installation of shiny black bamboo poles and spotlights on the wall and ceiling creates a sparkling tunnelled ceiling which results in a starry night illusion.

Gorgeous yellow




I was introduced to the designs of Kelly Wearstler by Anna and Avril recently and now I have absolutely fallen in love with her work. Her attention to detail is amazing and everything is so crisp and rich.

My favourite quote of hers from the Modern Glamour book is
"I love to be caught unaware by a stunning surprise."

Picnic in the flowers



I found this gorgeous photo on the front of Homes and Gardens when i was putting magazines away @ work, you might have seen it. I just absolutely love it. It looks so relaxing and yummy. One of my favourite things is getting a group of friends and having an afternoon picnic in the sun. I love the mix of yellow with the pink and white. Sorry about all the writing on it.
