I spent a long time looking for the perfect bedside table when i was recently redecorating my master bedroom. It had to be the right size, not too big but not too small. With a drawer but not completely made up of drawers. No one (as usual!) seemed to make what i was looking for. I get an image in my head and that is what i NEED to find! So when all else fails, do it yourself. This cabinet came as a pair, £5 each from a local charity shop. Bargain! I took them home and spent a good two hours sanding them right back (i did have before photos, but someones deleted them by mistake - me!) I then painted them all over with Laura Ashley Charcoal and added the same yellow that had been used in the room. I finished them off with a white gloss stripe (for change of texture) and a glass top for protection. The glass knob is also Laura Ashley (the most expensive part!)

I had to share a few recent shots of Daisy Lowe, model, daughter of Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale and ultimate London IT-girl. She has no fashion fear and has been a huge inspiration this year. I'm sure there's more style greatness still to come!

Quaint City Pad

Well i apologise for my absence. I have been at The T in the Park festival, back 1 day then in Spain on holiday. It was great having some time out, but back to reality now and playing catch up with my posts. Please bear with me!

Much like my taste in fashion, my interior preferences very much depend on my mood. Sometimes i can find a bleak, ultra contemporary interior appealing, other times I'm overwhelmed by busy, patterned, old English inspired interiors. The above property belongs to no other than Rachel Stevens. She is currently trying to sell the 2 bed apartment for a cool £1.1 million!

Seasons Greetings!

So the high street look books for Autumn/Winter 2010 are upon us and until Topshop I must admit I was little unimpressed. Then I came across this beauty, Limited edition embellished dress £60.00 from New Look.
