Crazy pre Xmas week (& a wish list....)

This week is going to be a crazy one! I am working on a fairly big job & need to have all the concept drawings done this by friday!
As well as do most of my xmas shopping & also host our annual girls xmas brunch on saturday (which I'm really quite excited about!).
In my travels this week looking out for things that i can buy for others for xmas, I've seen far too many things that i was tempted to take home myself (but didn't!) here are a few, and most would also be great gifts for any woman in your life i think!.....

Gorgeous green glass jug & tumblers in Freedom - perfect for summer do's (& christmas brunch's....)

These totally divine paper cups (with lids!) from Domayne $7.95

Wouldn't they be ace to make your coffee in at home to take with you!

(i did buy these for someone else!)

Tan leather & gold studded sandals from Seafolly - $89.95 you can't go wrong!

These pants from Witchery.
Have always liked them, but thought they'd look horrible on me - finally decided to try them on & loved them!

I LOVE pretty much anything T2 & have quite a collection going - for $70,  this teapot one would be a lovely addition to my family!

Mum & i also went paddle boarding for the first time yesterday & had such a good time!

Pretty easy & totally relaxing. A voucher for a beginners lesson could be something fun for the outdoorsy type!
We did it at Jameson Park paddle in Narrabeen.

Xmas wish list! Books!

Now that its December & we can officially talk about Christmas as much as we want i thought i would share my Christmas book wish list! And, well, you know, incase anyone (ahem* Mum, Ben) who might need to know is reading! All three of these books I've lusted after for a little while now - they cover three of my favourite topics! Food (& Guillame Brahimi is a bit delicious himself, i developed a bit of a crush on him after watching French Food safari before our honeymoon!), being poolside & fashion.

Guillame - Food for friends. Available here 

Poolside with Slim Aarons available here

Classic Kitchen Inspiration

Happy Monday! One of the projects I'm working on at the moment is a country style classic kitchen for the most divine cottage! 

Today I thought i'd share some of the colour pallet & overall inspiration.

Cool Edies!

Dying over just how 'good' this image is!

I guess you'd expect nothing less from super stylists Cool Edies!

Christmas Bar

My ideal Christmas bar setup - swoon!

(including the choice of bubbles!)

AW Emilie

Ive never been a shoe addict. However i have been a bag addict! 

Luckily for the bank account it was never high end designer bags (more the Witchery type!)

Earlier this year, for my 30th, my inlaws gave me the most divine soft yellow Marc Jacobs bag that i had been drooling over - you can really tell the quality, I've been using it everyday for almost a year & it has barely any signs of wear & no marks at all! So.....this leads me to the point! Yellow, as amazing as it is, doesn't always go with everything & i have found myself fawning over the Alexander Wang Emilie tote.
Be still my beating heart. (hello rose gold!)

Even though i wanted black, the dove grey is on sale at almost half the price.
Grey would also be a good neutral colour right?
Would love to hear anyones opinions on it who owns one - have heard they are heavy!
Need a bag that i can fit A4 things in for work & my i pad.

Lovely Magazine {thats us on the cover!}
