I’m in complete denial about how cold it is in Melbourne at the moment. So I thought I should get into the spirit of winter by sharing some inspiring winter retreats. Who could complain about the weather if you lived in this cozy hideaway designed by Ralph Lauren?!

To all my American readers, happy fourth of July! I hope you’re all enjoying your holiday weekend.
This image of photographer Matt Albiani’s Nantucket hideaway brings back wonderful memories of going away over the holiday weekend with friends and family. It’s making me miss summer in the US (it is absolutely freezing here in Melbourne!).
This week, I found an article in Coastal Living about glamorous choices for travelling with pets. The family never seems complete without the company of Fergus, our Maltese X. One of my favourite hotels is included in the list: the Ritz Carlton Naples, in Florida. Here’s hoping Australian hotels follow suit.

Have a Happy Weekend.
A huge thank you to Tina, LA’s very own English Muse for mentioning us in her blog! Tina is very busy blogging, twittering, face booking and working as a celebrity columnist for the LA Times! She’s one busy girl . Thank you so much for taking the time to visit!
When you think of a dorm room or ‘student digs’ as we call them here in Australia they are usually very unlikely to be fashionable or desirable, in fact they are generally the very opposite! That is why when we saw these pictures of Maximilian Sinsteden’s student accommodation in New York magazine, our jaws literally fell through the floor! Drool over these pictures below and note all the touches he has added to give his room its very preppy and beautifully ‘undecorated’ look. Note the touches of Ralph Lauren and Ikea, along with family rugs, and the designer curtains and paisley pillows all from Charlotte Moss. (his boss ….) We love the green wall and the collection of pictures perfectly assembled. Studying in this environment deserves a high distinction for pulling it all together! Top of the class for you Maximilian.
Oh, and what about that chest of drawers? $80 from an opp. shop and note the beautiful way in which he folds all his ‘smalls’……..
