Adore Home Shopping Tour!

Im sure by now you all read the fabulous Adore Magazine!

Loni, the creator is hard at work trying to raise funds to create a gorgeous hard cover Adore coffee table book - i think this would be amazing! She is raising the funds to publish it it herself through Pozible. When you donate towards the cause there are many different rewards you can choose from & the newest addition to the list is a fabulous shopping tour of Brisbane's interiors design stores! 

Read a bit more about it here on the Adore blog.

Please do go & help Loni out by pledging towards the book on Pozible.

It would be amazing for Loni who created Adore as a single woman show, to realise her dream of publishing a book!

(you don't get charged unless she makes her target & its hardly a charge when you look at the goodies that come with it!)

Book Purchases!

Bens brother has just arrived from the states for xmas & i managed to make a few book purchases on amazon & get him to bring them over for me! Unfortunately the one that i actually needed - a beautiful coffee table book about custom made bikes, that i was going to give Ben for xmas, didnt arrive in time :(

These two however did!

Im off to the U2 concert tonight - not sure if im looking forward to JZ or U2 more! Are any other Sydneysiders going?

Cant wait to unwrap this beauty!

Hopefully this one will give me some good summer reading & business advice for the new year!

A bit behind the times!

Ok ok so i know im about 2 years behind the times....

 But i finally ordered this on the weekend from here!

Cant NOT have this in my collection right!

Cannot WAIT till it arrives!

Have any of you guys got it?? Does it live up to the hype??

when i grow up i want a library...

My name is sally.

and im addicted to books.

i love them.

sometimes i buy them just to sit there and look at them

(i dont actually read all of them)

When i grow up id like a library room/wall in my house

(the one in the picture above - including the curtain & ladder will do nicely!)

I might even colour code my books

And put one of my buddhas with them to keep them company.

Home Love....

This book will be purchased on todays lunch break!

This image is one of those OH.MY.GOD ones for me!

I cannot fault this room!

(except for the fact im not there on that ottoman with a glass of champagne in hand!)

Run to the bookshop!

So i know id already done my post for the day but today it can be twice daily chic!

Style guru Megan Morton (who was kind enough to give me some advice when i was starting out fresh from uni!) has just released her book 'Home Love'.

She has styled for Belle, Vogue Living, French Elle Decoration, House & Garden & the list goes on.

The woman is a style genius & this book shares her secrets!

Not only do you get them for $55 (compared to her hourly rate of $300!) but a gorgeous coffee table book to refer back to!

Here is a great article on the smh website about the book & megans work.
