One Year

On the 5th June my husband and I celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary!! 


One year of being married...
One year of fun days & tough days...
One year of fending for ourselves...
One year of learning to live with a boy...
One year of knowing I'm coming home to my best friend...
One year of sharing a bed...
One year of relaxing days on the lounge...
One year of knowing i have someone to look after me...
One year of learning...
One year of looking towards the future...
One year of Love...
One year of Meals shared...
One year of a coffee made for me every morning...
One year of laughter...


The day I married my husband was such a joyous day, we had a wonderful day sharing it with our family and friends. It was such a relaxed day and went way too fast. We laughed, we cried, ate amazing food, drank wine and danced the night away. 


Here are some pictures of our day...

Welcome to Winter

Winter is here in our part of the world. Oh how i wish that our winter was like this one in New York but for now I will continue to dream of one day being rugged up on a winters day on the vibrant streets of New York. 

Pantone: 100 Postcards

How wonderful are these postcards with a palette drawn from the systems of Pantone, each postcard in this set of 100 offers a different bold hue to brighten up the mail. 


Imagine the delight of receiving one of these boldly coloured postcards in the mail (or maybe its just me being a design dork), use them around the house or send one to a loved one.

John Lautner // A Single Man

I have been a little sick this week. While i was off work one day resting, i watched the Tom Ford film 'A Single Man'. A visually stunning film starring Colin Firth & Julianne Moore.

'While Firth is unquestionably the heart of the movie, and Julianne Moore is his most visible co-star, a supporting-role nod must go to the mid-century modern house in which Firth's character, a college professor grieving for his deceased love in early-1960s Los Angeles, spends much of "A Single Man."

The movie is the directorial debut by legendary fashion designer Tom Ford, who clearly has an eye for visual detail. From the immaculately tailored Kennedy-era suits George (Firth) wears to the vintage Mercedes he drives, "A Single Man" is a visual delight, which provides a fanciful ballast against the movie's morose subject matter.'

George's home is supposed to be in Santa Monica near the ocean, but the real house, designed by architect John Lautner, is nestled in the Whiting Woods area of Glendale northeast of the city. 

'Lautner (1911-94) was one of America's foremost 20th-century architects, particularly when it comes to the legacy of Southern California modernism. He spent six years as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, joining the first group of Taliesin Fellows. In 1937 he supervised construction for two of Wright's projects, afterward establishing his own practice in Los Angeles. Lautner's first solo project was a house for his own family, which architectural critic Henry-Russell Hitchcock called "the best house by an architect under 30 in the United States." Later Hitchcock remarked that "Lautner's work could stand comparison with that of his master."'

Lautner is one of my favourite Architects and i highly reccomend the docuumentary 'Infinite Space' which showcases a few of his standout designs.
