As someone who spent the better part of the weekend scouring furniture and homeware stores for side tables, lamps, kitchen knives and almost everything in between (I’m not even kidding), the launch of Salasai’s homewares range could not have been better timed. Drawing inspiration from their AW14 collection, ‘Liberte et D’amour’, the extension into homewares is far from a fleeting thought, the carefully curated range of duvets, pillow cases and cushions invoking striking elements from RTW. I had a brief chat with one half of the Salasai design team, Kelly Watson, on the design process, the tremendous growth of the…
img source unknown I feel like I’m having one of those I have nothing to wear moments. Standing in front of my closet shifting the hangers back and forth, yet failing to come up with anything even remotely appropriate. The occasion? A friend’s birthday – although what does one wear to birthday drinks these days? It’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten, and given the cold weather, I’m almost inclined to continue spending my evening snuggled up in bed with a large cosy sweater. But, I’m not one to throw in the towel so easily. My experience of Sydney…
images sourced from pinterest While we’re on the topic of pink, why stop at clothing when there are walls to splash the perfect shade of powder pink, and blush-toned pillows to add a bit of softness to a monochromatic living room. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this wouldn’t normally be my first choice, as my Pinterest and the overflowing inspiration folders on my Mac would suggest a growing (or staunch) fondness for the Scandinavian style of minimalism – everything in shades of ivory, grey and black. I may still be slightly on the sartorial fence, but I’m warming up…

Pink shoes, pink bags, pink skirts, pink lip embroidered sweatshirts. A strange choice for someone whose predisposition towards the candy floss hue was nothing short of ambivalent, and whose preferences usually lie in more neutral territories. That aside, I’m all for injecting a bit of much needed colour to absolve the…
Karen Walker jerkin dress, Karen Walker x Benah juliet clutch, Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet I have a confession to make. I have a serial problem with carting around with me more than I could possibly need. Three notebooks, four lip balms, two pens, a scarf ‘just-in-case’, a packet of painkillers, snacks in case of emergency – well, you get my drift. Sometimes that box of plasters comes in handy, like when you’re breaking in a new pair of shoes, but most of the time, I’m pretty sure I’m probably carrying around dead weight. And all that dead weight on…
