raw at heart

 Love Love Love this bed arrangement

Now I know I go on and on and on about Garance Dore and her wonderful sensibilities...but she just has this amazing ability to capture people in a pure light, completely devoid of any sort of smoke screen.

One of her latest subjects has been French jewellery-maker Lara Melchior, who is not only stunning herself, but who also has the most beautiful home filled with rustic collectables and interesting, raw finishes (and yes, i do see the animal theme running through this post also!)

Ah, to live in a light-filled Parisian loft, surrounded by precious metals

cross my heart

by Pamela Love

The perfect edge for a simple outfit

if only...

If I didn't already have my credit card to pay off, car registration due and rent due I would DEFINITELY be adding these to my spring wardrobe

Tiffany Locks Bracelets

Beautiful...though a little out of the price range for my birthday...

Bali is bangin'!

Bali is a country very close to my heart, and with each new trip it is amazing to see how quickly this small island is becoming a mecca for shopping, dining and spa-ing.

I'm very lucky that I have people in my family who are as passionate about it as well and are willing to explore new areas and shops I have found on the internet, when I can't make it there myself.

My parents spent 2 blissful weeks there recently and I sent mum to find a small little jewellery shop, which I found while browsing the Sunday Collector blog.

Jewel Rocks in Seminyak lends perfectly to my recent affinity for petite jewellery (a complete 180 from my chunky obsession of the past couple of years), and mum was kind enough to pick me up a couple of beautiful bracelets there.

...other bali finds to come in upcoming posts!...
