If money were no object this would be my go-to dress for my summer hols.
Except if money were no object I could have all her other designs as well..and even pack them in a Louis Vuitton suitcase.

Northern Lighting, an international company based in Oslo, describe themselves as a creative force led by original ideas, in a place where traditional design seems like a thing of the past. Interesting.
Certainly each light is different and beguiling..

This has to be the perfect corridor light. It just wants to sit on a long, thin piece of foxed glass. Heaven.

For an aspirational label, Isabel Marant manages to produce an every-now-and-then treatable jewellery range that’s naturally quaffable.
There’s an edgy, urban vibe that’s highly wearable.

Come join the noise.

Back to the boho summer dress vibe complete with straw bags, picnics and iced gin and tonics by a pool.
Loveshackfancy is New York City lifestyle brand founded in 2013 by Rebecca Hessel Cohen.
It’s creamed off the best bits of vintage inspired Victorian pieces and blended them seamlessly into a modern, timeless style.

It’s a label that creates an overwhelming urge to jump into a camper van and head to the surf..

The tour de force of Vanda Jacintho is not limited to clothes. Her jewellery also rocks.

Nuanced and complex, these are statement earrings with a built in spotlight.

Vando Jacintho’s Brazilian upbringing is infused in her lush, colourful, tropical, quirky aesthetic.
Light yet bright..
Bright and brilliant – her ‘panneux’ – her version of a sarong which can be worn four different ways. Worth checking out here.

Eu te amo.

Escapism confined to the mists of time, summed up in the romanticism of a gypsy caravan.
Away from the knowledge of leaky roofs, bumpy rides and social exclusion, it’s the pastime equivalent of the tiny house movement.
On my dream list is the wish to spend some serious time in one – Just. To. See

A lot hangs on ‘want’ these days – designs being produced for a perceived need. A bit like these Joseph Joseph freezer/fridge tupperware boxes.
At first glance – so clever! A wheel in the top to show the date stored – problem solved!
Second thought: But it doesn’t tell me what’s in there…
The truth: You can’t beat a sticky and a sharpie hashtag-Grandma-still-knows-best.

We should be in Greece now where one thing that is fundamentally different from the UK (apart from sun, sea, beach, food, music..life) is the bathrooms and in particular shower/trays walls which are made on site, in one piece away from any notions of hinges, doors and glass and their battle with limescale.
A similar effect can be made using Tadelakt – or Moroccan plaster, now making it’s presence felt over here.
The joy is it’s versatility – waterproof, flexible, able to create curves or lines it’s totally usable.
This is about embracing forms beyond and one for the mental storage box.
