dreamy swedes

I haven't visited style-files.com in a little while, but of course as soon as I do I stumble across so much beauty and dreamy apartment style. This apartment is only 46 sq metres, um how incredible is that. I love the beautiful display of mirrors on the wall, the mismatched chairs, the healthy green plants everywhere and of course the white, white, white.

These dreamy, romantic images are thanks to Samantha Wills, the talented Australian jewellery designer. Wow, if I got married again and was a gazelle, I would want to wear all of the above. That head piece is just pure vintage inspired luxury. Do visit her beautiful website.

toast, toast, toast

The new Toast catalogue is out and even though our seasons are opposite I can't help but want to buy everything in their house and home collection. Everything is always simple, earthy and dreamy. I've just packed away my slippers and popped our duvet into the dry cleaner, but this makes me want to jump right back into winter.

summertime fun

I want, I want, I want. It's almost summer, spring is a good enough excuse, and that means ice cream and sorbet on hot summer days. Ice cream totally goes with poolside afternoons and long weekend days lying under the whirling fan watching movies, movies, movies and look at that this ice cream churn is on sale here.

peaches and cream

So time poor at the moment, aarrrhhhgg, and the sweet bubba isn't even here yet. Goodness my posting is rubbish. Thank you for still visiting, those of you that I see from day to day. This photo certainly made me stop in my tracks and smell the peaches. Summertime is upon us.

byron weddings

This time 2 years ago I was out at our wedding venue playing with all things pretty. The butterflies in my belly were fluttering with excitement and anticipation of our big day the next day. I didn't know at that stage that it would be one of the best days of my life. Marrying my best friend and love of my life, the man that makes me laugh until my cheeks hurt and has my heart gently cradled in his soul. A day where every where you turn is someone you love, your family, friends, those special people in your life that are sooo happy for you. Your wedding day truly is one incredibly special day. People say it's just one day - yes it is, but it really is something that must be experienced to understand what a special day it is.

This weekend we have a wedding in Byron. We're stoked to be celebrating another dear couples love at the same place on the same weekend. Byron really is a beautiful place to be married. We wish you all the happiness in the world Mitch and Ange. Thanks for gifting us the pleasure of sharing this day with you, we're blessed to be your friends.

roman holiday

Our hotel in Rome was a slice of roman heaven. Tucked away on the north side of Trastevere, steps from the river Tiber. You couldn't want for more a tranquil place to rest.  The Gran Meliá Rome Hotel is one of those places you don't want to leave. The staff don't miss a beat, they are friendly, extremely helpful and have a lovely sense of humour. Every experience they recommended couldn't have been more perfect. They have the best of Rome at just a phone call and it's not your run of the mill tourist expeditions.

The elegance of the hotel is noted everywhere, historic yet modern. The building is the authentic Villa Agrippina, which once belonged to the Roman empress, mother of the Roman Emperor Nero. Yet inside it is so elegantly modern, from the egg shell baths to the Nespresso facilities.What's more you're only 5 minutes walk from Vatican City and Saint Peters Basilica and if you spend a day in the Vatican State, which most visitors do by the end you are absolutely exhausted and an urban retreat is just what your bodies are commanding. This hotel was a gem. We couldn't recommend it more.
