Seaside kitsch

When it rains on your summer holiday in England there are always kitsch and colourful treasures to be hunted out.

Droog brooches

I've got a bit of a vintage French style thing going on this week. I love these Alice in Wonderland-esque baroque style brooches by Iris Nieuwenburg for Droog.

Shifting vase

Simple, sculptural, architectural design by Isolation Unit.

This shifting marble vase is sliced into layers that can be twisted and rearranged.

Favourite finds - winter white

It's a beautiful crisp white winter's day here today so I thought I'd share some of my favourite white things, like these Not Rudolph coat hangers by Birkiland. Yes, I know Christmas has been and gone but I'd still happily hang these on my wall.


I have a huge collection of Scandinavian vases, but am in love with the simplicity and practicality of this 'Betty' vase by Helsinki based designer Lincoln Kayiwa.




How amazing would this dress be for a winter wedding?
