My living room...

Last week I entered my living room into the Home Beautiful - 'most beautiful room contest' - it has a slightly arrogant ring to it doesn't it... Of course winning is the ultimate prize but putting together a room and rearranging things was a ton of fun for me... I think my favourite thing about my living room right now is my green plant - since the trees on the street are dicidious this is the only greenery I can enjoy at the moment... One thing I would like to ask of you my dear readers is to vote for my living room by simply clicking on this link....I would really appreciate your support.

Classic black and white....

Black and White - the most simple combination there is but one that is probably the most powerful. As much as I am a colour person, I can't go without some simple blacks and whites to compliment the decor setting. Isn't it just a classic? And I find myself completely in love with the white couch with the black accent below (and I believe Cassandra from Coco and Kelley has recently purchased this exact couch - Luck girl!). What's your colour combo that you are currently loving?

Sunday afternoon...

Don't you just love fine china? If I could afford to - I would buy out all the finest and prettiest china in the world and have regular high-tea parties with the best cakes and dessert slices, surrounded by hundreds of peonies, great selections of teas and lots and lots  of champagne and just great friends..... Things a girl dreams about hey.... This is a Sunday afternoon at my house - high tea for two (for now) with some of my latest purchases...Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

My week.....

Thought I'd share some shots that I've taken on instagram this week. For those that don't yet know the exciting news - instagram is now also available on android (has been for a few months)... So anyone can join in the fun now.... But a warning - it is addictive!

Peach Potato....

It's not often you come across fresh and new business ideas. But, a super creative colleague of mine named Aarti has recently not only came up with one but also put it into action. Aarti is launching a new online greengrocer called 'Peach Potato' next week! On her online store she will be providing the option of getting your veggies/grains/spices (and much much more) - tailored to a dinner recipe of your choice (chosen from her wide selection of great healthy recipes) DELIVERED right to your office (provided that you work in Melbourne CBD - yay that's me!!). Don't you just love this idea? So, if you can't decide on your next dinner, visit her site and get the incredients delivered to your office (Melbourne CBD only) and stress less about healthy dinner ideas. Peach Potato also sources local produce, including veggies, coffee, fruit and the like... Spread the word Melburnians....And what a cute name for a greengrocer hey? 

Winter Green....

All these wintery days in the southern part of the world have sparked a need for the colour green in my life. I even went shopping for pot plants on the weekend (something I usually stay away from cos no living thing has a  very high chance of survival in my care). But I've been buying anything green I could find lately (including these funky pyjama pants from Peter Alexander). Winter has a way of dampening the mood so, it's no wonder green is such a natural inclination during the colder months (for me anyway). What about you what colour are you currently craving? And I hope all you people in the northern part of the world appreciating the greenery and sunshine......I'm green with envy...
