Vanessa Bruno's Paris Apartment

The French fashion designer's peaceful sun drenched haven is packed full of pretty pastel shades and vintage furniture finds. Feminine, fresh and oh so pretty. What do you think?

Mario Testino's L.A. home

I wish I travelled enough to fill my home with collected treasures from around the world...
That girl must get a bit annoying though, just hanging around striking a pose all day...I wonder what far off land he picked her up from...?

Sofa Seduction

The super-talented Ditte Isager does it again with these photographs of this Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen sofa; Favn. The colours are gorgeous, the photography is stunning but that sofa steals the show.
Did you just hear that?! That blue one just asked to come home with me...!

Super Stylin'

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Interior companies' catalogues are rivalling the top interior magazines in terms of bright, fresh photography and inspirational styling? I'm loving these shots in the Spring/Summer 2012 catalogue from Denmark's Ferm Living. They've also posted 'behind the scenes' shots on their blog. Very pretty.
P.S. I want everything! The colours and graphics are awesome. It's all about the triangle!

John Lewis Catalogue Spring/Summer 2012

Just wanted to show you some little snippets that I like from the John Lewis Spring/Summer 2012 catalogue. Zesty colours, statement pieces of furniture and patterned fabrics; geometric, floral, stripes, you name it... Those glass pendants are stunning but I love, love, love, that little oak dining table. It's a shame they're 'never knowingly undersold' as I'd love to get it for less than £499...!

Something fishy...

I 'stopped by' Atlantis Dry Goods to see if the amazing bronze beetle pendants were still available and found a little something fishy...in bronze. I love these. Especially the tentacle.

 P.S. The beetles are still available and as beautiful as ever.

Calligraphy Tattoos

One of the most viewed posts on Yeah...Ok...Bye is this one, showing the awesome work of Betsy Dunlap commissioned as tattoos. I recently came across these gorgeous calligraphy tattoos by Mara Zepeda of Neither Snow. I doubt I'd ever be brave enough to get one but if I did I'd hope it would look as beautiful as these.

Mixing it up

This home is very close to mine...geographically. If only it was close to looking like mine...
A veritable feast of styles and influences placed side by side resulting in a very stylish and comfortable family home. The contemporary, spine-like staircase and extension with circular glazed door leading to the garden has a grown up, art deco feel. It contrasts, beautifully, with the original Georgian building which, again, contrasts with the eclectic mix of mid century classics, far east artefacts and an abundance of art, photography and sculpture inside. The perfect example of letting your home evolve with you as you collect the things you love. Perfect.
