I pulled together a palette of yellow mellows from the stunning Resort Collection from Nicholas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton 2015. |
 | |
Bleached blondes stood out in a collection rich in reference to coral reefs, nautical themes and vivid underwater colors reflecting the shores off the coast of Monaco where the show was staged. Can't you feel the sunshine? |
 |
Oscar de la Renta Resort 2015 It was a collection of realistic knee-lengths and youthful takes on lace and trim but this one look had me dreaming of walking the red carpet. |
 |
An oversized bow wraps a floral silk column – the perfect present for any woman's Gala wardrobe |
 |
| Rae Kawakubo dresses up the conservative Chelsea Boot with these happy, hand-painted spats which have you tip-toeing through the tulips all day long. |
 |
Chanel presented it's Resort 2015 Collection in Dubai in a mirage of mosaics, palm trees, sheers and sequins. |
 |
And nestled into golden spun hair were a range of sequined crescent moon tiaras glittering in the Arabian twilight. |

| That's one pumpkin that clearly stands out from the patch. |

– Shout it from the rooftops – As a mother of two girls, this act of insanity enrages my heart. No matter what senseless acts are committed worldwide against girls yearning for a better life through education you cannot and will not stop us from aiming for something better #girlpower |
 |
| #HappyMother'sDay2014 A Shout-Out to all those mums out there who take it all on, in style and with love. |
 |
A classic denim shirt from Mother Denim seems the perfect uniform for the 24/7 job. Says: glam but not afraid to roll up her sleeves to get any task done. |
 |
| Will surely be in touch via skype but all set to let my mom know just how much I think of her not just tomorrow on mother's day, but every. day. xo |
 |
lagom design recreates Alexander Girard's Daisy Face print as beautiful cards, proving just how everything actually does start with mum – with her starts life. |
 | |
Christian Dior Resort 2015 The resort collections have hit the runways and loved the way that Raf Simons played with the notions of the original Dior Carrés, bold graphic scarf elements contrasting to black. |
 |
Love the combination of red and pink. Bold, graphics in flowing, fluid silk. |
 |
| Nothing like being back in Toronto, home of the donut. With what seems to be almost a donut store at every corner I do enjoy my morning glazed sour cream. |
 |
Raised Maple, Raised Chocolate, Hawaiian Glazed Sour cream, Sour cream, Cruellers, Timbits... seems to be a flavour for every day of the week. Tororonto loves its donuts! |
 |
| Of all the fashionistas at this year's Met Gala I was surprised to be taken by funny girl, Sarah Silvermann, as a stand-out winner. |
 |
She was, i dare say, simply stunning in voluminous Zac Posen. Had to draw it. |
 |
| Am in Toronto this week, and boy, this town sure could use a little bit of flowering Spring. Thought this urban lacy number from London's Christopher Kane would be the perfect thing to help remind Mother Nature what season we're in over here... |
 |
Not only do I love the contrast of inset lace to fleece sweatshirt but I'm a born sucker for graphic type on anything. |
 | |
| After years of painting Albers-inspired guoache studies in art school naturally this rug caught my eye. Produced by UK-based Christopher Farr Editions, this limited edition is produced in conjunction with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. |
 |
| This hand-tufted wool carpet, derived from the 1951 Albers (oil on masonite) painting makes this a mid-century modernist must-have! |
 |
… that's my home! I've been travelling so much lately… next stop Toronto! |
 |
Found the perfect purple panama for summer from Paul Smith SS14 by Christy's. |
 |
| What better playtime on this rainy, end-of-vacation-Sunday, than Cubebot, by David Weeks Studio in NYC. |
 | |
Made of tactile wood, this Shinto Kumiki inspired modular robot, will have everyone in the family trying to strike an impressive pose. Addictive and fun. |
 |
Nothing but blue skies and beautiful sun, down here in Verona. Thought I'd share some Rimini sun power from Aldo Londi for Bitossi of Italy. |
 |
Rimini blu line is identified as Bitossi's signature. It has been in production since 1953. It features articles embossed by hand with the typical texture of Rimini blu. |
 |
How fitting to be in Verona on Shakespeare's 450th birthday?!? Managed to manoeuvre the throngs of tourists to catch a glimpse of Juliet's ill-fated balcony. |
 |
i've loved everything I've read, seen or acted in. Later in the day, I climbed up the vineyard behind our apartment and stumbled across a bush of beautiful pink roses. My illustration was complete. |
 |
| Saw this eye-catching clutch by Lulu Guiness SS14 in a window in Verona. Shiny, black lips for a dark night out. |
 | |
Don't you just want to hold these lips by your hips?!? nothing like a little shiny black perspex to get the night started. |
 | |
| Today is a sad one. one of my favourite writers, silenced. RIP Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Thought this chinti and parker love tee captured the moment – what he wrote about best. |
 |
He left a legacy of writing. Pick up Love in the Time of Cholera or 100 Years of Solitude to disappear into his magical reality. |
 |
| I'm far from being a cat lover but this Jonathan Adler ceramic kitty's got me purrrrring… |
 |
If I had to have a cat in the house I'd invite this beauty in. |
 |
| Easter break has started and here's wishing you all wonderful surprises this holiday! |
 |
From 1885 - 1917 the House of Fabergé produced jewelled "Imperial Eggs" for the Russion Czar and his family. Once opened, the eggs revealed delictately crafted surprises such as miniature golden carriages, portraits or animals in replica providing exquisite delight. What will be your surprise this Easter? |
 | |
| Seems there's a gold rush on the streets this Spring – all things metallic are a must. So hoping for the Munich rain to clear so I can pull out my golden Acne Pistol Boots to show the world my true metal. |
 |
Combine these with babies with any pair of skinny jeans and… Bang! |
 | ||
| Travel in style and learn Italian! My heart stopped when I saw this striking use of Scotch Modern and Futura typefaces on Kate Spade´s Manuela cosmetic case. W A N T |
 |
Victorian era modern mixed with mid-century Bauhaus: a perfect pair. |
 | |
| Slip on this modern day PVC take on the glass slipper by Christian Laboutin SS14 |
 |
With a little bit of red accent puff your tootsie are poised to find their Prince Charming |
 |
The perfect thing to snuggle into your weekend with. Happy Weekend! Dear Cashmere SS14 |
 |
Cozy and cool- Just love the sequined wooden type! |
