More Christmas Wishes!

I'm ready to reveal the fifth and sixth wishes, and share some more ideas for the interior-obsessed in your life!  There are no limits, right? And what would make someone that loves to decorate their homes happier than.... mmm... Tables? Ok, we're not talking about a new dining table for Christmas, but... a super cute set of side tables is totally OK! Especially like the one below, this set would rock my Christmas :)     They are from Zara Home, where I also found my sixth wish...  I have something to confess, colour-coordinated tableware ticks a lot of boxes! Because you can eat your cereal in the morning off a very stylish bowl. Or because you can set up the...

Cosy up for the #fourthwish

It's soft, but heavy weight and warm, it's stylish and the pattern is super current. The neutral colours are great to go with any scheme - blacks, whites, grays and most colours would be a great fit. It'll add texture to your room, and you'll really enjoy it while lounging about on a winter day. Oh, and it's got tassels.  Guessed yet?  It's a throw, and not just any throw! It's the Newport Throw @ Anthopologie. The perfect definition of comfort meets style.     A girl can never have too many throws...

S.S. for the #thirdwish

Ok we are not talking about the one and only gift here, but this one can be the perfect additional gift or two. And how exciting is it to give and receive several gifts on Christmas Day? Even if it's something small, part of the fun is in unwrapping it (or watching it be unwrapped if you're at the giving end) after all!  You know that secret Santa gift you need to buy and ran out of ideas? Or that cool stocking filler? Or an anytime-anywhere gift? S.S. is the answer.   Sexy Stationary it is! Yes, stationary can be sexy. And it can also make a perfect little gift.    I have a thing for cool design stationary, the...

It's time for the #secondwish

There is nothing better then getting something from your favourite designer as a gift. Be it shoes, handbags or wall art.  If you've been reading my posts you'll know I have a crush on my wall canvas by Oliver Gal "Love is the New Black". It's just the right mix of cool, comtemporary and has the perfect colour combo for my gray scheme.     That's where the second wish for Christmas comes in! Oliver Gal has such a cool range of designs that are just the right thing to make a statement in any room. Here are some of my picks.      There is a Black & White Oliver Gal sale right now at Secret Sales (hint hint), and...

What's your #firstwish ?

This is it now... December has arrived! It's the day you realise that the new year will be here before we know it, Christmas is just around the corner and I haven't even started planning it yet. I've been so busy planning Baby L's birthday party that I've been like 'Christmas what.. When!?' But once those preparations are over and that should be very soon, I'll be dedicated to creating a special first Christmas for her... for all of us!  And with that in mind, I've been putting together a special wish list for the interior geek (like me!), with a few things that would rock your world if you are one of those people that feel accomplished after you...
