The Lust List

I am totally obsessed with the amazing illustrations by The Lust List at the moment!

Divine illustrations of, well, all things lust worthy! 

 I swoon over every one of them…. A bundle of luxury rolled into each drawing!

You can but both prints & cards via their online store.

Ashton & Harper

I love Instagram & the wonderful people you can discover!

I started following Ashton & Harper last year & loved her style & the gorgeous print business she launched at the end of 2013. 

I got the biggest surprise after making a joke on a picture of her 'chic' print that she should add 'once daily' to it...

I checked my post box one day to find a beautiful custom gold foil 'once daily chic' print! 

Actually, I almost cried in the post office i thought it was so thoughtful!

I love supporting other women who are working for themselves & also those who practice random acts of kindness! :) 

Check out some of Ashton & Harpers gorgeous prints below (including my very special custom one!) 

And how cool is the confetti that came in the envelope with it!

Beachscapes

As you can probably tell from my blog header, i love a beachscape!

The colours & the feelings of summer they evoke; salt, sand & that awesome feeling of diving under a wave! 

Seeing as this Christian Chaize print sold out long ago, i just ordered myself the next best thing;

 A coffee table book of all his images from Praia Piquina which he shot over an 8 year period. 

Boy was i excited when i came across it via Lonny last night - straight onto Book Depository i went!

For similar style prints try Aussie based photographer Eugene Tans Aquabumps.

Loving - Pip Boydell

Ok, so i saw some of her work a little while back when it was exhibited at Brisbane interiors institution Black & Spiro. 

Loved it...then it slipped my mind. A few days ago i came across Pip Boydell on Instagram & proceeded to look through every single one of her images. Boy oh boy am i in love! Delicate hand drawn & coloured watercolours of seemingly all my favourite things?! 

Hydrangeas, striped bikinis, a bottle of reef oil, slices of watermelon, a cut passionfruit & a shimmering fish! 

I think Pip has seen inside my head & illustrated it all!  Ok, I'm going to stop gushing like a crazy woman now :) 

Check out more of her work & buy prints of these slices of heaven at Pip Shining.

Rooms im loving

Loving these living rooms, the pops of pink & the huge pieces of art!

Plates as art

I have wanted to do something like this for years! I have quite a few gorgeous random plates (& have a soon to be cousin-in-law who works for royal doulton -  i think she should have a go at this too!!) and considered doing this on the wall at the end of our kitchen! I particulary love this image! Bar cart is kinda cute too!

Maps as Art

swoon. i love this living room.

so chic & sophisticated!

especially those framed maps

The Style Encyclopedia

Dining room art....& my blog header!

I think you all know what i am so drawn to this image! I just wish i had had the $$ to snap up one of these prints from 20 x 200 when they were still available in this size! Id like to deck out my dining room exactly like this - also loving the hydrangeas & crystal glasses!

I am so excited to see Jen Ramos has just opened
Cocoa + Hearts!! 

She has amazing eye for colour...no doubt they will sell out super fast! This is my favourite i think!!

Oh & this one...

Jen Ramos + Cocoa & Hearts!

Is there nothing Jen Ramos of Made by Girl fame cant do?

She's about to open an online shop to sell her paintings that we often see on her blog in her own home - she shared these on the weekend & im totally smitten! Those colours on the bottom one are to die for! Cant wait for Cocoa & Hearts to open so i can grab one! Infact this bottom one has got me inspired with 'wedding colours'!
