love the feel of these images from an old issue of elle interior all my fave things chandeliers and pops of bright colour.
sorry for the lack of posts today i've just been enjoying the gorgeous weather, but i'll be back soon.
so i ran a little giveaway for all the lovely followers of my blog and winners are
just lately cross stitch has gone from twee to uber cool, with groups like urban cross stitch and designers like emily peacock making cross stitch into desirable art and cushions.
when parusha lewis of the lovely blog lewidoo fancies, found she didn't have enough time to read all the books she wanted to she came up with this genius solution the loo/library. Love the set up of this little room, the bookshelves and accesories make you forget that it's actually a bathroom.
if you are in the UK enjoy the bank holiday weekend (yey!) seeing as it's friday what better way to start the weekend than with a bit of disco dancing, so i thought i would put a little playlist together to start the long weekend and if your going dancing you need some killer heels (love the McQueen heart shape peep toe variety).
how about this? everything in your home is removed and you have to replace it all with British made products only, omg no japanese telly or mac lipgloss, this is the idea for a new tv show starting on blighty featuring Dom Joly (him off trigger happy tv). He has to set about replacing his whole house and wardrobe with new british made stuff ,at least he'll still look dapper in his saville row suit.
when i came across the fab pure style home blog i just loved what interior designer lauren liess had managed to do to her new home in just two weeks! with help from her family,friends and handy husband she managed to turn her kitchen from a dark wood nightmare into a light airy space, with lots of open shelving to display fave kitchenware. Love how colour has been brought easily into the dining room with a desk and colourful artwork.
take a look.........
if anyone else has any gorgeous home makeovers they would like to share here on the accesori blog email me at accesoridesign@gmail.com
i can't wait to see this new book by amazing photographer bruce webber, celebrating the iconic jeweller cartier apparently it comes packaged like a piece of jewelrey. i'm making space on my coffee table right now.
love these t-shirts from asos dress em up or dress em down either way they look gorgeous especially love the owl print.

i don't really do that much cooking but for some reason i love cook books, jamie and nigella can't get enough. so when i saw that sophie dahl (love her) had brought a book out i was intreged so i ordered it from amazon (only cost £8 bargain!) this book is gorgeous not only are there some yummy but simple recipes with lush styling and illustrations, sophie also writes about her life and her relationship with food as an introduction to each section, split into the four seasons.
this is a great competition running on mydeco at the moment, if there is a community space in your area that's looking a bit dull and tired, the yourspace campaign is giving one uk project a chance to get their space made over by mega designers sir terrence conran and tara bernerd (love her work!) all you have to do is submit a picture of your space and tell them why it deserves a makeover entries close may 29th. I think this a great idea there is no reason why public spaces can't be beautifully designed and practical.
imagine if your local youth centre was given a funky edge like this
inspired by the disco-ness of the last post here are some inspired pieces for your home.

i came across these gorgeous plates on etsy earlier they are by the very talented mayluk, i love her illustrations featured on her plates and homeware very 60s model, i like it when mundane items such as tea towels get glammed up with lovely prints.

i don't really but i wish this was my bed even though i'd get mascara on the pillows and toast crumbs in the bed, i keep finding myself drawn to this kind of look it's the girly side of me, everything in this room is from the gorgeous graham and green .
future blog post idea, this super luxe french look on a budget stay tuned.
my new favourite magazine at the moment is dujour magazine, every issue has a theme this issue is vintage gorgeous photography, styling and layout its a bit like nylon meets vogue with lots of influence from design and fashion bloggers the best thing is you can download it digitally (love when magazines do this) or buy it from the dujour magazine site.
here's some of my fave bits especially love the "not a paper doll" shoot
the weather here has been terrible all day, i've never seen the sky so grey but when i came out of work this evening i saw the biggest rainbow ever.
spotted.........
for the last few days i've been flicking through the lovely "paris : made by hand" by pia jane bijkerk, this book has been all over the design blogs and it looked so good i couldn't resist buying it.
the book features all the chic and unique shops of paris where the people in the know source the goodies for their projects, one of the shops that caught my eye was lune paris they have a gorgeous range of accesories and vintage stuff a lot of their bags and belts are crafted from mens ties, very cute.........
i've been neglecting my poor blog again lately, been really busy at work this week and it feels like its been raining for about two weeks solid, i need some sunshine.
anyway i've got a few days off work i'll give my blog a bit of attention, and sleep in of course, heres some of my note card collection available soon from my etsy shop inspired by some gorgeous neon nail polishes.
i've been a fan of anna lou of london's jewelrey and accesory line for a while love the cute simpleness of it
her stuff is currently sold through a boutique in soho and good old top shop, love it
my picks are the ennamel bangles with little motifs on them wear them piled high with simple gold bangles very glam.
my sister came across this site yesterday my deco its fantastic, i spent about two hours on it yesterday, lots and lots of gorgeous rooms from a variety of designers you can also make your own mood board its like polyvore but exclusively interiors (very addictive) or create your own 3d room, definitely worth a look for the eye candy alone.
heres some of my fave rooms
after the super girly post i did yesterday i thought i would be a bit more sophisticated today..........
barbie's 50th birthday was celebrated in london last week with a store at the very fashionable dover st. market barbie is one lucky piece of gorgeous plastic with outfits designed by jeremy scott and vera wang and her very own plastic louboutins.
