♥︎  new york city

I completely fell for New York City.  Yes, I was totally dazzled by its glittering famous skyline, but up close I completely fell in love with its attitude, its people, the never-ending destinations to explore and its incredible cool factor. It’s busy and chaotic, but everywhere you go, you find new ideas, creative energy and an infectious sense of ambition.  You simply cannot help but feel inspire and have fun.  As the song goes: “Now you’re in New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of... these streets will make you feel brand new.” And they really will. So whether you are addicted to all things design or if you just want an adventure like no other, you won’t be disappointed.

Cushions can add personality to a space and be the perfect finishing touch - like beautiful mini artworks in a room.  But mixing different colours, patterns and sizes stylishly is an art in itself! Here are my top 3 tips for styling your cushions like a pro.

In all the crowds, rush and sensory-stimulation of Design Week, I think one of the best things one can do is simply to sit outdoors in Milan’s April sun, to have time to contemplate and reflect - while enjoying an aperitivo of course, preferably an Aperol Spritz.

Each year, more than three hundred thousand creators, designers, architects, creative geniuses and global media descend on the Italian city of Milan for the city’s annual Design Week, combining the Salone Internazionale del Mobile design exhibition and the Fuorisalone’s events and installations across the city’s different Design Districts.  Lauded as one of the world’s most important design events, it’s the inspiration for the products, people to watch and trends that will be dominating the world of interiors over the coming year.

Palm Springs . . . you were amazing at every turn! Two hours from Los Angeles, it’s been a favourite getaway for celebrities since the early 1900s. And after visiting in November last year, I can see why - it really is the perfect desert oasis and Rat Pack retreat: colourful, hot, fun and an intoxicating combination of laid back cool and full on glamour.
