Country House

As we’re in the process of doing up our little weekend hideaway, I have been searching for inspiration everywhere and came across two of my absolute favourite country houses: John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon’s Monkey Cottage and Sixx Design’s Great Barrington House.

Monkey Cottage, an old one room school house, is the most charming cottage. I just love the yellow door!

Great Barrington House, the Novograd’s country retreat, is another beautiful house which has inspired me a lot! Again, the yellow shutters are absolutely stunning.

Now I can’t stop thinking about going down to our country house for the weekend! I can’t wait to snuggle up in front of the fire and start reading my new book.
Have a fabulous weekend!

Daydreaming about summer…

I am so excited about a new book I ordered over the internet a few days ago – Resort Fashion: Style in Sun Drenched Climates. Fashion, photography and sunny destinations, sounds like the perfect combination!

I’m really missing summer in the US at the moment, especially as it’s so cold here (well, cold for us!). All I seem to think about is taking a beautiful holiday in the sun! Since I can’t do that, I’ll just have to wait patiently for my beautiful book to arrive.

Winter wonderland

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!).
