Gucci is imminently launching an inspired, decorative home ware line!

Drum roll please…. in less than 2 weeks Gucci’s first home ware line - Gucci Décor, will be landing in the shops. I don’t understand why there hasn’t been a fanfair for this unveiling, for any fashion and interiors aficionados like myself will be absolutely smitten. I’ve been privy to the new collection and it is utterly joyful, bursting with the contemporary spirit of Alessandro Michel, the label's creative director.  Alessandro Michele has made his love of interiors abundantly clear during his tenure at Gucci and so this homeware collection is no suprise. I noticed a sneak peak of this collection at his Resort 2017 show held inside the Cloisters at Westminster Abbey in London (the first time any fashion house has been granted access to do so). I found it incredible that the images that flooded the fashion industry’s Instagram feeds from this historic show were the hand-embroidered cushions placed on each seat!   The collection includes tasseled pillows, plates, upholstered c...

Hotel Pulitzer is prize winning

I research hotels in A LOT of detail because it’s a key ingredient in every trip I make; sometimes the end goal. I absolutely love hotels – where else can you be looked after in such visually stimulating and inspiring surroundings? It’s that gorgeous cocooning feeling of ‘going home’ when you’re in your early twenties, but you’re in a hotel of the most incredible architecture and interior design, and it’s this side of the experience where I feel the magic of a hotel. I want a hotel that demonstrates the envelope of interior design has been really explored and pushed, and hotels are quite unique in the way one can really experience, appreciate and judge the designs. So this is where I am coming from when I tell you about a hotel and I will only report back on the hotels you need to add to your own lists! My first ‘to stay’ is the Hotel Pulitzer in Amsterdam and it has a fabulous heritage you couldn’t make up. In 1969 Peter Pulitzer, the grandson of the Pulitzer Prize founder, joined 25,...

Bringing the Hey day to the here and now

Hollywood Regency, which is the style of Hollywood in its heyday of the 20’s to the 50’s, has a truly sumptuous and unashamedly glamorous appeal. Its an aesthetic rather than a trend that resurges every few years and I absolutely love the key pieces from this super glam era. You only have to show me some of the pieces from the above pictures and I swoon.  I wouldn’t necessarily design an all out Hollywood Regency themed interior, (unless of course it was for an LA-based bar, which would in fact be awesome) just as any dominant interior style can be overbearing on its own, but loosely decorating in this aesthetic adds decadence, sophistication and old world magic. The kitchen below and that dining room table, I mean..... The appeal of Hollywood Regency to me is mixing old with new and infusing contemporary schemes with a regency twist. The style works so well with so many other interior styles that it can be an injection in terms of its hallmark colour palette, furniture and fixture...

Picking plums

Click here for the link to the left image and click here for the link to the image on the right :) I am heralding one of the key colours to dominate the world of interiors in 2018 as PLUM. It’s a shade we all know and love, but is rare to interiors for no good reason. Plum is stunning: strong and warming. It was coming....I watched with glee as blush turned to putty, morphing through jewel red into the earthy tones like terracotta and I can tell you now for sure: it will rocket forward with plum.  I’ve been rather overdosed this past year with not instantly loveable colours like Greenery and some of the paler pinks were too 80’s for me. But plum I love: it has the warmth of red, the drama of purple, the moodiness of black and the decadence of claret. I know I push for being colour confident, but I honestly believe that ‘going big’ allows that colour to really show off its innate mood and qualities properly. A token dab of plum is lovely, but go for a wall or a big piece and this ri...
