Obsessed with Anthropologie (isn't everyone?)

I visited Anthropologies Kings Road store in London for the first time last week.  Wow! so many beautiful things.  Housed in an Art Deco former Billiards hall, the store is striking right from the outset.  Anthropologies carefully edited mix of fashion, interiors, art and found objects had me captivated for over an hour- not a common occurrence for anyone in our world of fast fashion and 'one-click' shopping.  I'm in love with the riot of colour that typifies Anthro's exotic prints, rich tapestries and bold styling.
On my wish list:
The beautiful mix 'n' match fabric aprons- much to nice to cook in.
Stunning african animal print tea towels- definitely just for the wall.
These delightful nostalgic printed side plates.
Roll on June and the new Edinburgh store!

Topdrawer- Scandinavian Homeware

After my recent stint at Topdrawer I've become obsessed with scandinavian homeware.
I'm coveting the entire House Doctor collection.  Their catalogue is a beautifully styled collection of home accessories, furniture and soft furnishings.  Scrumptious!

Tea themed lights

I fell in love with Domestic Constructions' Ted Lights a long time ago and now anthropologie have got me lusting after their teapot lights.  If only I had a loft apartment with high ceilings.....

What Elle Wears

If you told me a month ago I'd become hooked on seeing what the Elle team wears to work I'd have laughed! Choc full of Uber-stylish people, what elle wears is my new guilty secret.  Oh to have access to that fashion cupboard...

Project Upholster: Complete!

She's a bit of a beauty (though I say so myself).  She's proudly displayed in our living room for now until she finds a more permanent home.  I never get over the feeling of satisfaction on completing a project- It makes me proud to say I made something, especially when it looks this great!!

New Toys!!!

So Happy today.  I bought this pair of beauties at an antique fair for a bargainous £14 for both. Now i just need to find film- both of these use discontinued films.....
