Today

Today the office discussion was around "best TV shows of all time".  Considering the range of ages, this is not at all an agreeable topic.  Cross the gender divide and you get more arguments.  Add in one staff members love of slapstick comedy, well there is just no common ground.  How can I possibly agree with someone who likes Fawlty Towers?? I mean CMON!!  Its stupid!!


So one of my top five is definitely Sex and the City.  Its amazing.  When Carrie was 'rescued' by Big in Paris, well what a perfect end.  And its still relevant. 13 years after it first aired.


Thanks to THIS tumblr blog, you can relive some of the greatest moments over the 7 seasons!  Here are some of my favourites......















I could go on ALL day

Celeb Look of the Day

Found this picture of Lauren Phillips at the opening of Club 23 at Melbourne's Crown Casino last night.  I love the simplicity of this outfit, paired with a great belt and standout shoes.

Etsy Finds - Leigh Viner

Leigh Viner is one of my favourite artists, and the great thing is her prints are easily available through her Etsy store. They come in a range of sizes and she can custom list an item for you.


I am lucky enough to have 2 prints, which I have simply placed in Ikea frames. (although I would eventually like to have the large one custom framed). 


 


Here are more of my favourites that I doubt I will be able to resist for much longer.

Love this space!

I found this amazing bedroom/sitting room image on Pinterest (via Lonny Mag) and I just love it.  Lucite bamboo table, zebra wall paper and an amazing chandelier.

Owned by Elizabeth Bauer, she shows how mixing colour and pattern still works in a very small space.  Great inspiration for people like me that own a very small apartment.


To see more great pics of this Gramercy Park, NY, studio apartment, access Lonny Mags June/Jul 2010 issue HERE


Be warned, you may end up spending hours browsing back issues of Lonny!!

Flamingo Obsession

How great are flamingos as decorative accents?  I love this pic below, and am also a little obsessed with the prints available on Coggles online store. They make me feel as though I am staying at a beach side shack in Miami!
