Soft Toned Geometric Shape Modern Furniture



{ via dezeen }

love the modern shapes and the simple lines of the furniture pieces by 
new Australian design brand SP01
paired with the geometric shapes of the lamps by Brooklyn based Ladies & Gentlemen Studio
the result is sheer modern form with a touch of playfulness 
and glamour, don't the lamps remind you of modern necklaces?
I sure own some similar ones by COS

hi friends, in case you are wondering no I haven't forgotten the giveaway at all!
I am currently travelling in Kyoto, will get it sorted when I'm back
not sure if people are interested in Travel posts?
I shall update you when I'm back

Food Stories






{ all photos by Food Stories }

I can't believe its end of July already, where did the time go? 
With more than 6 months of the year gone, how is that New Year Resolution coming along for you? I think I am on good progress, on the travel side I have taken at least a holiday a month, have hosted a few girls get-togethers and more brunch/afternoon tea in the diary, been going to the spa for massages and skin treatments quite regularly and in the last 6 weeks really focused on the exercise side (I recommend Jillian Michaels workouts!) and is noticing a difference in my fitness levels.

So that leaves two things remaining, reading more books, as I have only read 2 so far this year there is definitely lots of catching up to do! Also, eating more healthy which I have been doing at work (that means mostly salads at lunch) but now I want to cook more and using healthy whole foods. The internet is a wonderful place with full of ideas on the healthy eating, whole foods front. I am currently obsessed with a few Berlin based blogs. Food Stories being my favourite with their gorgeous photos (helps with the incentive to cook), clear instructions and wonder recipes. They have many non-sweet recipes up too but I have a major sweet tooth which is reflected in my images choices! 

Enjoy rest of your weekends xxx

More Strawberries, More Champagne

A little late but a Happy 2015 to all dear readers
Have you all started your New Year's Resolutions?
In case you still need ideas, here is my list...

It all evolves around the central concept of "Bettering Myself & Be Happy"

1. Host more girls get-togethers, whether thats in the form of afternoon teas or the occasional glass of Champagne, bottom line - Friends are important, spend more time with them



2. Read more inspirational books (and watch less entertainment TV) - Reading will help you to expand on your understanding of everything



3. Eat and cook more healthily - Good health should be the top priory



4. Travel more - See more of what the world has to offer



5. Spend more hours at the Spa - Pampering & de-stress are beneficial to both the body and the soul


Did any of the above make your list too?

Little Things of Joy



I agree with Brigadeiro 
macaroons, flowers, candles, red shoes & fresh juices are my top little things of Joy too
especially when they have been displayed so beautifully!

FYI, in case you are looking for the shoes, you can find them here

Better Dried than Fresh


{photo by me}

Not a rule that applies to most things 
but these dried strawberries from Carpo (near Piccadilly Circus) are definitely tastier 
than their fresh selves, just what you need for a "pick me up" on Mondays...

The Most Stylish Guys



{ photos by J. Ingerstedt

Not quite judging a book by its cover, 
but judging the owners based on their homes
seeing these living rooms 
of what must be the two most stylish "bachelor pad" out there
I image their owners to be the most well dressed & eccentric gentlemen
A design professional themselves
perhaps

Cafe Murano, London




{ photos by me }

Perfect for you elegant shoppers strolling along Bond Street
and you fashionable visitors making your way to the Tudor Palace St Jame's
this is no ordinary cafe
but a rather gorgeous small Italian restaurant dressed in warm oak cabinets and pale white marbles
just as its decor, the food is lovely too
a good balance of healthy and tasty
and don't say I didn't tell you, the lunch set is a bargain at £22 for 3 courses
