week recap / bits and pieces from me

Work:Caravaggio pendant lighting: designed by Cecilie Manz 
I've chosen these stunning pendants for two of my clients (and been given the tick of approval...joy!) they look simply stunning and come in different sizes and colours. check them out here

Beauty:Aesop anti-oxidant eye cream and anti-oxidant serum (only discovered this week!) are now a very important part of my daily routine. These products are made with plant based ingredients and non botanical elements and feel great when applied on the skin (plus the young man at the counter was incredibly helpful and gave me lots of tips and samples to take home-just great!) check them out here

Did you know? Seed also offers a lovely selection of clothing for women? (as well as girl, boy and baby) I didn't. I was in DJ's at Bondi J a few days ago and stumbled across the label in the ladies section (!) It was a pleasant surprise (find some lovely accessories and casual inspirational looks here)

Cleaning:Murchison-Hume products are stunning to look at and eco friendly (what more can you ask for?) sounds perfect to me! My favourite is the Heirloom dishwashing liquid (here)

Health and lifestyle:yoga is great for both body and soul. It's been a year since I've injured my back and given up gym, tennis and (yes) my beloved yoga! I'm so thrilled to announce that I've started exercising again (I can even do steep hills now!!) and I'm back at yoga (YES!). I feel great!

Well this is me for now!

Wish you all a great rest of the week-end and a healthy + wonderful week ahead :)

Love,

House tour / Susan and William Brinson

She is an art director and has her own stationery line, he is a commercial photographer and this is their home (filled with gorgeous objects, loads of personality, great colours...a great space!)
I love the quirky details and am totally inspired by it.
Hope you enjoy too :)

cafe society

                     the gorgeous "Granola" cafe in Copenhagen above (read more about it here )
             I really love the look of it (I mean tolix chairs and industrial style pendants? LOVE at first
                sight!)


              And for some lovely organic produce...

                        The charming "Daylesford organic" in Munich -above- is a must! (visit it here)
                      It looks divine and the food scrumptious.

                       Here in Sydney I love "The Boathouse" at Palm Beach

                      A beautiful location...

      ...gorgeous decor and beautiful food (yummy breakfast and lunch menus to choose from)

    what more can you ask for? (check it out here)

Have a spectacular day...

(if you are in Sydney you are in for a treat - a gorgeous blue sky and 23 C. Enjoy! )

cinnamon and coffee

Mornings are not easy, right? (or is it just me?)
(If you ask me) Mondays can be pretty painful
but I've found a way (I think) to win my Monday morning battle...
it's a very easy formula:
morning walk & caffeine + sugar....
I know exactly what you are thinking...
well in my defence...I don't get to sit down until after the children have left
(I walk them to school and when I come back home I have my breakfast...)

It's a brilliant start...


this sugar and cinnamon pull-apart looks DIVINE, doesn't it?

Monday inspiration / boys club

anything masculine will do...(I'm in a bit of a masculine mood at the moment, perhaps it's the simplicity of the look or perhaps it's just the need to de-clutter...who knows...?)
