Rain With A Side Of Cheese...

New York City in the rain

A thunderstorm is rolling it's way across New York City (NY doesn't even do April Showers by halves!) And so what's a girl to do on such a soggy Monday evening? Well...

I think I few key things are needed here...

1) tea, of course (I'm British after all). 

2) a comfy fluffed sofa with cushions, blankets and other such cosy accessories. 

3) pj's, because every girl wears a pair of pj's on an evening like today. 

Images from House to Home and Domino Magazine (so sad you're gone Domino!)

And finally, 

4) large amounts of cheese in the form of that 1986 classic 'Top Gun'... yup my dears, think fighter pilots and classic one liners that you just love to hate and make you laugh! I haven't 'lost that lovin' feeling' for this one!!! (even though I don't like Tom Cruise at all!! ha!)

Cheese, wonderful cheese!

Ah, Maverick and Goose! Here's one quote I just had to share!!... A plate of cheese coming right up! Love it!! haha!!

Maverick: Jesus Christ, and you think I'm reckless? When I fly, I'll have you know that my crew and my plane come first. 

Charlie: Well, I am going to finish my sentence, Lieutenant. My review of your flight performance was right on. 

Maverick: Is that right? 

Charlie: That is right, but I held something back. I see some real genius in your flying, Maverick, but I can't say that in there. I was afraid that everyone in the tax trailer would see right through me, and I just don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you. 

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall...

I was just cruising Taverne Agency (as one does) and came across the above left bathroom from stylist Anne Draijer's house - I immediately fell in love with the mirror!! I've seen them pink before - but not looking this great! 

So I searched my collections, and picked out my favorite 'new antique' mirrors to share with you, each interior has a different feel, and therefore adds a little something different to the same kind of mirror.. I just love all of these photos!

Oh, To Be Grey...

So I've been seeing a lot of grey around recently, and I feel it only my duty to participate! Some might think it strange, but I've liked grey for quite a long time! I do love how it can flip flop from being cool to warm, and masculine to feminine, either by it's tones or just by the right accessories... 

Most of all, I love grey with earthy warm tones, natural woods and stone, and with metallics, creams and bright whites, it's just beautiful! The mix of textures in the accompanying pictures is what I love the most!

So here are a few of my favorite grey interiors and still life photographs. Clockwise from the top left, Living Etc, (sorry, I don't know this one!), Skona Hem, Shootfactory, House to Home, and Glen Proebstel.

Perfect Plum!

Oh, I do love Roberto Cavalli clothes!! And after seeing the above outfit on the website - I couldn't help but pick out a few matching interiors to go with it!

Monday, Monday...

House to Home.

It's Monday evening... and boy, oh boy, am I tired! It's been such a busy weekend I feel like I need another one already! Right now, I wish I had a warm cracking fire to curl up next to, blanket and cup of tea at hand, with a great book.... like the picture above, that warm, worn leather.. the rustic charm...

But for now, I'll have to go without those comforts... and just be happy with a cuppa tea and great book - which is right now one by Eustace Mullins, a Christmas pressi to myself!

So I'm off to curl up, relax, and probably fall asleep very soon!!

Happy Monday!!

Coveting Cavalli...

Heavenly Roberto Cavalli

I lovveeee Cavalli.... It's getting colder, and with it, out comes my own Cavalli fur! Which by the way I addoorrreee!! (especially when it gets really cold and I team it up with my Shearling beehive hat!)
