New Home Inspiration - Manyara Home

Im feeling totally inspired by the style of Manyara Home for our new home by the beach!
{doesn't hurt that their shop will be in the next suburb either...well...it might hurt the credit card...}
I have found lately I'm leaning to a more neutral & sophisticated palette rather than the colourful tones i used to be drawn towards.
 The style of Manyara home totally does it for me! I love all the natural colours & textures - very organic & calming! :)

Merci Paris

When we were in Paris, shopping wise, there was trip to ogle at the Galleries Lafayette, browsing boutiques in the Marais, a few Zara purchases and we bought some vintage Tour de France prints from one of the sellers along the seine but one of the most memorable stores we went into was Merci. A homewares store on steroids! Complete with perfume lab, super cute car & a cosy little library/cafe.
A must see!
{111 Boulevard Beaumarchais}

Byron Bay - Shopping!

We've been back from our trip to Byron for over a month now - seems like an eternity ago!
I discovered that Byron is not just about the beach - there is some fabulous shopping there too!
Here are a few of my favouite places to have a browse {& make a purchase!}

HOPE & MAY {20 Fletcher Street, Byron Bay}
This was most definitely my favourite shop in Byron, a haven of all neutral sophisticated, laid back bohemian glamour! 
I went home with a few of the little skulls, one of the divine crosses to add to my wall and a couple of byron bay style jangly bracelets!





AHOY TRADER {Marvell Street, Byron Bay}
Cutest little shop with the most amazing hand painted ceramic tiles & crosses.
Run by local artist Jai who is responsible for the awesome tiled wall at Miss Margarita.
It also has a wealth of gorgeously packaged soaps, cushions & jewellery.
Don't miss it!



BYRON BAY MARKETS {1st Sunday of the month}
Go to people watch & pick up some local produce or craft.
If your into dream catchers, beads or raw organic produce this is the pace to be!
Also some great muso's busking, grab a juice or coffee & chill out under a tree!


And up in Bangalow {we hired a car for the day} you must check out....

THE BANGALOW PHARMACY {23 Byron Street, Bangalow}
Hello they sell Missoni & Savon de Marseille Soaps 
(i dragged my poor husband all over Avignon in France looking for these!)




ISLAND LUXE TRIBE {62 Byron Street, Bangalow + 11 Marvel Street, Byron Bay}
If nothing else, go just to admire the beautiful store itself {got a spare $600 for the shorts below?}



RED GINGER {38 Station street Bangalow & 111 Jonson Street Byron Bay}
Asian cooking & goodies galore. Plus a little cabinet full of dumplings if you'd like a little yum cha!


Well, there you have it - Byron isn't just about the beach!
Its beach + great eats + great shopping!
Beware if your flying there with Jetstar cabin baggage only, your shopping haul might be limited :)

The Card Shop

I am a big fan of all things stationery & typography. There really is nothing better than receiving a hand written note in the post is there 
(in fact i have just RSVP'd to a wedding via snail mail on some personalised cards my mother in law gave me!)

Last week when i was at Warringah Mall (Sydney) i stumbled across the newly opened 'The Card Shop'!
A new shop dedicated to fabulous cards that are 'contemporary unique & premium quality, but at a great price'.
Cards range from $4.95 - $5.95 in price or $12 for 3

The Card Shop is owned by UK company, Chili Marketing, who also happen to own Rekorderling cider! 
(These Chili Marketing crowd sound like my type of people!)
The shop has cards designed by Chili designers, along side designs by local Northern Beaches designers Anita Waters & Sue Punton, & also cards by Vogue photographer Helen Cathcart, so there is certainly something for everyone!
