Tulip Fever

I really do love a Tulip

Kate Moss and Tim Walker

My whole house is ill again. Hence, I am too tired for words, quite literally. If I write anything it will make absolutely no sense at all. So here are some beautiful new Tim Walker shots of Kate Moss swanking around the Ritz in Paris for US Vogue instead.

Pinterest

When I'm not changing nappies, in a supermarket or hunting for a gypsy caravan, I will be found on Pinterest. I am completely obsessed. Given the opportunity I could quite happily spend hour after hour flitting around from board to board, pinching other people's images like a little magpie. I'm not quite sure why it's so addictive; Maybe it's the ease of creating such beautiful collages. It's like being given a free pass to a library full of only things that you love. You can just ignore the bits you don't like with the click of a mouse.

I spend most of my time hunting for interiors inspiration. Basically being nosy, looking into other peoples homes. I've found so many heavenly new fabrics and original bits of furniture that I'd never usually have come accross. It's also fuelling my long standing love affair with den making and I'm currently working out just how to turn the Cub's playroom into a den that we are both going to approve of...

Dreamy dens...

Catskills Hideaway

Our new house is nearly done and decorated and I'm already itching for a new project. Having my own little haven - preferably an airstream, gypsy caravan or shepherd's hut- has always been a dream of mine and seeing this swanked up hunting cabin of Sandra Foster's has kicked-started me into action. Any free moment I now get is spent scouring the pages of Auto Trader and ebay hunting for some kind of beaten up treasure I can transform into my dream escape.

My inspiration

The photos above are of a hunting cabin in the Catskills which the owner, Sandra Foster, has transformed into the romantic Victorian cottage she's always dreamt of...An all white, floaty, pure girly haven.

Chloe Chic

I think this lady photographed outside the latest Chloe show could be the chicest person on the planet right now. One glimpse of her and I'm actually considering burning my maternity jeans. I still can't bring myself to wear normal clothes and It's going to take something drastic to get myself out of this hideous, baggy, comfortable rut.

SO Esotic

I've been waiting to get my hands on one of these morse code bracelets for a long, long time.

They are made to order by the beautiful Ombretta Vaccari, for her label Esotic - which you can now buy from her newly opened, online bazaar.

Decide what you want to say and she will translate it onto the bracelet using the morse code alphabet.

Genius.
