Happy Weekend ...

Hello there,

What a perfect start to the weekend, an uninterrupted, sunny March day. Not just sunny, warm in fact and although I wasn't able to spend the day basking in the glory of such a rarity it definitely helped put me in a brighter mood. I am ironically full of a winter cold, so this dose of sunshine was very much needed. It's because of this lovely sunshine that I started to get excited for the summer, warmer days and lighter evenings, a combination which seems to make everyone that little bit more happy.

I have already started my S/S mood boards, collecting any imagery which depicts the brightness, easy going and spontaneous mood that summer exudes. Here is a glimpse of the type of imagery which reminds me that summer is well on its way. Fresh colours, fun print combinations and an almost breezy "anything goes" attitude towards design. 

Happy Weekend,

Enjoy the sunshine and remember to put your clocks forward tonight... yes you may lose an hour of sleep but this means we are one step closer to sublime summer!

Enjoy

comfort in the cold ...

Hello all,

So after a very Christmassy evening out last night with a friend I came home compelled to find inspirational images which reflect the indulgence, comfort and prettiness that winter offers. Through the jewel colour palettes, the speckles of glitter and abundance of sumptuous layers translating winter through craft, styling, print or interiors it really is something to behold.

Below I have pulled some of my favourite images. Whether through the colours used, the subject or the finishing touches, each image captures the magic of winter and the Christmas period for me.

wonderful walls ...

Hello all,

Over the last few weeks I've been filling a sketchbook with pattern work in prep for an interview I have in June. I've always been a pattern enthusiast, my love for it first stemming from the wonders of William Morris. Pattern and colour have always been two areas of design that capture my interest and imagination and with the ever growing amount of beautiful work out there it's hard to go a day without being inspired by a delicate pattern or bold print in fashion or interiors.

Whilst gathering ideas and inspiration for my sketches I delved into the wonderful world of wallpaper. When thinking of wallpaper you can be forgiven of thinking of dated patterns or predictable colour ways, but infact wallpapers are as bold, stylish and contemporary as many of the prints in fashion.  

Don't believe me? Check out some of my favourite examples below.
