I love books.

But I hate the back-to-front book thing. Though it works sparklingly well as a visual metaphor for everything that is tragic about our modern culture.

 

And breathe.

Rixo x-o-x-o

Christmas season maybe fast approaching but even the sighting of that behemoth shouldn’t turn all thoughts to party clothes.  Why? Because life needs to be lived and party clothes should be a reflection of every day.  Such is the philosophy of Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McClosky, the founders of fashion label Rixo.

Their vision was to create vintage-inspired pieces for the modern woman to wear with confident style and effortless grace.

For the quality of the material – silk,  the timeless nature of the clothes and the plus point of individuality,  the price point sits happy on the purse.

These pieces sing dressing up is for daytime, floor length can be casual and style always transcends season.

 

I, for one, am in.

Rugged..

With the children growing up so fast it’s easy to feel nostalgic, but age still doesn’t stop me loving inspired animal rugs.

Cute when younger, rich in irony when their older, they make a quirky addition to any kids bedroom.

 E.L.V. Denim is a brand that demands a closer look: Their USP are sustainable jeans made from two pairs of vintage jeans which immediately knocks out two birds with one stone..
They’re naturally worn in…and they’re unique.


To be worn on the waist…or slouched on the hips: The choice is yours.

Lace it up..

When one treasured item can make all the difference: That mercurial mix of old and new.

There’s genuine.

And there’s inspired.  Each has their place.

Old and New x

Kasia Zareba designed the Fossil porcelain collection based on inspiration from the imprints of fossilised plants .  The deceptive simplicity, the lack of symmetry and the feeling of movement all lead to a bullseye hit in the design stakes.

Definitely one for the lust list.

Size isn’t everything but beautiful design is: Meet the Newton milk and sugar jug, a gimbally exhibit of executed ingenuity.Separate and independent.

Or the perfect fusion of function and form.
