FRUIT LOAF HEAVEN

So I've been known to have eating habits up there with the strangest. Nothing hot in temperature (ever), Messina gelato for dinner (on a regular basis), sashimi (for months on end) and pesto on everything (for a week). This, however, is here to stay. I've found heaven, and apparently it's best served on a plate for breakfast every morning.

Toast two slices of sourdough fruit loaf, smear with ricotta, top with fresh figs, drizzle over with honey and then all you're missing is the French coffee. This is so simple but tastes even better on Sunday morning sitting in a silk gown reading the papers.

TREE HOUSE

I'm dreaming of getting away. Out of the city and to a magical home in the trees in sweedish woodlands. This amazing hotel is comprised of a series of different tree houses each with a double bed, small kitchen, bathroom and rooftop terrace. Each tree house is a vision of a different designer come to life. There ethos is to bring eco together with enchantment and functionality and provide you with an experience of tree climbing minus grazed knees.

WAKE UP

LONG LIVE LIV

I'm normally against re-blogging fashion editorials, however I feel like this is definitely an exception. My favourite magazine, my favourite actress and a damn good stylist. Now how can I escape to Harbour Island? Time to start packing the Proenza.

FALL FOR YOU

A couple of my favourite looks from NYFW Fall RTW so far. Bring on Winter I say.

BATHROOM BEAUTIFUL

These images have been burnt in my mind over the last few weeks whilst decorating my new bathroom. It's getting there but being a Chanel ambassador like Jen would definitely help.

MOROCCAN OIL

I was lucky enough to receive my first lot of Moroccan Oil in a gift bag last week. After contemplating whether to invest in it or not, a free bottle was just what I needed to convert. After just a few days of use, my fine baby hair is the shiniest it has ever been. Still a long way from my dream Victoria's Secret locks but thank you Moroccan Oil. Now I just need someone to stop me from investing in the whole range from hydrating masks to glimmer shine spray. Or maybe just let me and my healthy hair be!

THE NOURISHING QUARTER

Next time you're nursing a sore head from Friday night, I've got the perfect beacon of hope. The Nourishing Quarter stall at Kings Cross markets has the most delicious hangover food ever. The vegan, Vietnamese food will provide healing (so I'm told) from any kind of late night debauchery and is packed with super ingredients such as quinoa and chia seeds.

FRESH STARTS

Being a creature of habit, in December I always find myself longing for a new year rather than the festivities of Christmas. I'm all about fresh starts and finding new inspirations. For 2011, I'm looking forward to spending time in London, Paris and Berlin and hopefully finding a new beautiful house near the water. So here's to the countdown to the new year and everything I hope it becomes.

REED KRAKOFF

Are these not the best shoes you have ever seen?

SELF SERVICE

This week I tried to give up coffee. It lasted three days. This week I'm taking up a religious following of the new Self Service blog. Who wouldn't want to look at these babes every morning before your daily caffeine fix? And in between writing emails. And before lunch. And after dinner. You get my drift.

THE GOLDEN DOOR

If you are in need of a weekend city escape with fresh air and everything pure, The Golden Door is your answer. Just two hours drive, you don't even need to get on a plane to leave everything behind. We opted for a day spa package and spent our time getting facials and massages, sipping herbal tea and sweating it out in the sauna - lush! Come back to reality on Monday morning feeling refreshed and calm.

HOME SWEET HOME

SOMEWHERE

I'm so excited to see this film I can't even tell you. Directed and written by Sophia Coppola and set in the Chateau Marmont, take me there already!

LIKE WHOAH

WOW!
Loving the latest from Prada's ready to wear collection....





The bright colours and 1930's aviation theme, it's just adorable! I could kill for a pair of those platform rafia brogues!

SPRING TIME, PUPPY LOVE

BRAZEN TUMBLR

Brazen has finally come to a Tumblr near you.

Dream away.

EYE EYE

This YSL mascara is the best I've ever tried!

I usually buy most of my make-up from Mecca Cosmetica as the service there is consistently great and they stock some of my favorite brands like Nars and Kiehl's but my mum was recently in the States and brought me back some lovely items....

I met a Japanese girl a while ago and she was the most stunning little doll I have ever seen. Her hair was always perfectly styled, her nails manicured and covered in glittery polkadots and she had gorgeous fake eyelashes with jewels and feathery tips. She looked as though she had stepped out of a Japanese cartoon, her eye's were like Sailor Moon! I asked her what her favorite make-up brand was and she told me "SHU UEMURA!". I now understand why after trying these actually effective eyelash curlers. I have never had any success with curlers in the past and thought they were a load of crock! These ones actually work and they stay curled for most of the day! I am yet to try glittery fake eyelashes but maybe I will give them a go?
