Set created on Polyvore

Happy holidays everyone! As we all are still in the festive mood, I thought would post some bling for the new years. Am sure we have plans on what we will be doing on New Year's Eve, whatever your plans are... don’t forget to accessorize it up!

Home fabulousity: Feel like relaxing?

Hello darlings! I have been away for so long and missed blogging so much! Am here now! I had a long day today and had this to cheer me up. This beautiful space is a lodge in South Africa. I love the way it’s decorated, it has a mixture of African and Morden style. I think it’s a great gateway for just relaxing. If I was in South Africa right now; this is where I would have been chilling!

Fashion Weekly: For Chanel lovers ...



Vintage Chanel Jewelry



                                             Set created on Polyvole



Happy Friday darlings! I was going through some vintage jewellery on Polyvole and spotted some vintage Chanel. No doubt Chanel represents style and sophistication; it’s an iconic brand that speaks for itself. This is my Friday drool moment!

Home Fabulousity: Lamp love!!

Am loving this hand-painted lamp. Talk about the choice of colours, midnight blue, soft grey and white - just perfect!! The colour of walls is just perfect but the number of accessories surrounding the lamp is too much. Would have preferred only one accessory on the table or not at all, too distracting you don’t get to appreciate the beauty of the lamp!

Still stuck in summer !!

Hello darlings! Of all summers, this year in particular was partly enjoyed by painting my nails! Before, I would go the whole year without painting my nails :) but now it’s a whole different story :) Since the neon colours were so in, I couldn’t resist these two: blueberry ice cream and pink flamingo. I must confess.... am still stuck with these two colours to this day since summer! lol Any nail polish lovers out there like me? What are your current favourite nail polish colours?

Hello Friday! Don’t we all just love Friday’s? As I mentioned on last week Friday, I had tones of work to do and was not looking forward to the weekend ... well ... I still have work to do... but am so looking forward to this weekend!! Enough of the weekend talk, let’s talk handbags and not just handbags... but Nina Ricci's Liane Satchels. There's that old tradition about white handbags, I think we've gone past that now and can challenge ourselves once in a while with nice white handbag. I love the texture of both handbags, especially the pleating ... but if I was to choose I would definitely go for the Python one! What do you think ladies?

Here are some interesting accessories that caught my eye this week. 1) Big mouth fish bowl, 2)Naples bowl, 3) Isle collection, 4)Paquet bowl, 5)Astaircase suitcases. For this post I will focus on the last image, the Astaircase suitcases. Have you ever had a decorative piece in your house that seems to be so out place but you love it so much and you still go ahead and have it there? I think those kind of pieces are the ones that stand out. Have a look at the Astaircase suitcases, would probably make you wonder why they are placed in someone's lounge.... but its all about how and where you have placed them. A well known idea is to simply stack several of them together, they look better that way. Some stack them together and use them as a side table for the living room, some place them at the end of the bed and use them for storage... the possibilities are endless you can go all the way and use them in a creative way.

Fashion Weekly: Turquoise all back again...

There goes another Friday! I wish I could say thank God its Friday, unfortunately for me this weekend is going to be one hell of a busy weekend with piles of work to do. Having said that, I have these cute little things to brighten up my Friday! Turquoise jewerly has been trending this week, so here are a few of my picks. I hope you like!!

Home Fabulousity: Is Orange your colour?

Well, some of you might say Orange is not your colour for home decor. Am not a big fan of orange, I think the colour is just too much. Or maybe I need to get out of our comfort zone a little and be daring! I think the colours in this room work well together and the Orange is not too much to handle. Once you get the colour pallet right, then it gels in well together. Check out the hanging lamps, I think there are super cool! Maybe a little too low if you have kids in the house.

Fashion Weekly: From the handbag world with love!

Hello darlings! This week am loving the new Reed Krakoff handbag from his 2012 spring collection. Reed Krakoff has a fair reputation of making beautiful handbags. Forget about the price for a moment and let's just drool its allowed ! Am sure you all have that one particular handbag that just makes you feel strong, confident and sexy. This one right here will certainly make you feel confident! I do have a few handbags that really give me the 'I dont care what anyone thinks right now, but this is my moment and am gonna live in it!' attitude. Maybe a little bit too much, but that's just one of my feel good factors.

Now, all the book lovers out there will agree with me that it can be annoying when you stack in books on a book shelf and they keep falling off. Am glad there is a solution to this. Well, am going to admit that I didn’t know this cool accessory existed, maybe am just a late comer! Nonetheless, I think bookends are super cool and a great solution if you wish to stack your books in a vertical order. They do make our book shelves or wherever we stuck our books look tidy and well organized. The good thing about them is that they don’t look out of place, but they look like part of the decor.

Fashion Weekly: Wrap it up!

Is it just me? Wrap bracelets are everywhere this fall. Leather bracelets have been there since the Roman Empire era and are still in vogue and I am glad they still are. I for one have been sporting one since summer, atleast I find them easy to wear for no occasion at all. My favourites have to be the metal studded ones, I just love them! I think there's a wrap bracelet is for everyone, from rock, girly, glam chic and anyone in between. Here are some my of favourites for this season.

Home Fabulosity: Rustic love ...

My first blog post YAY !! Hello darlings and welcome! Decided to feature this beautiful vintage mirror as my first post. Found it on www.housetohome.co.uk  and absolutely loved it and couldn't resist sharing it with you. The old rustic look and wording on the mirror adds an edge to it. Am loving the detail of the words written on the mirror. I think having such a mirror in your home will definately give you joy everytime you look into it bacause the words on it will make you smile. Am not sure if I would have had the same ornaments that are placed next to the mirror, would probably add a colourful vase that will pop out...

What do you think? Would you have such a mirror in your home and where in you home would you rather place or hang it?
