sixx design

Dear Cortney & Robert Novogratz aka Sixx Design,

It ain't a hotel, it is close to a bungalow, so can you come do what you did to the Bungalow Hotel to my little bungalow? Love the use of the B&W and splashes of colour.

Anyone reading, do yourself a favour and check out their portfolio.

clash of the department stores

Dear Myer & David Jones,

I've been paying far more attention to the just launched summer lookbooks than the looming national election.. Manning Cartell up against Sass & Bide, Ellery & Wayne Cooper or Fleur Wood, Maticevski versus Collette Dinnigan.. where to spend my non-existent money?

pynn it up

Dear Pure Design & Style at Home-r's,

How long have you been hiding Samantha Pynn? Over here in Aus I've only just discovered her work and she's a woman after my own heart. Some fave snaps of mine from her portfolio above... there's always something bold but relaxed about her style. Lovely.

Hotel & Ryads Naoura Barrière in Marrakesh / Rant

Dear Marrakesh,

I hear one of your amazing hotels might have room for me, I feel I need a place to hide out and vent, or soothe my paranoia.. Paranoia was why I checked myself in the mirror about a dozen times when I got home today, to no avail. I was dressed normally for a weekend, no not as a harlot, average 22 year old.. not a super model, not a witch either.. So imagine my surprise at getting the up & down from several older men and even a pucker from one.

Hence the paranoia, these weren't just bored roadies having a laugh, it was middle aged men leering at the girl at the bus stop (yes I checked out the bus stop for funny signs and anything weird...  checked my clothing was on right about a dozen times...). Note to any guy that happens to read this rant: keep your pervy distracted eyes to yourself, or at least be more discrete.

mr over achiever

Dear fellow young twenty-something under achievers,

At just 25 Ryan Korban has built himself quite a rep, and it's deserved too, the guy is extremely talented and above are some of my fave snaps of his work from his online portfolio. So having built himself his own business, a cult following in NYC, it would not be unusual to feel like an under achiever if like me you're only a couple years behind Ryan.. time to work!

shabby chic

Dear anyone who has ever tried to do shabby chic and missed the target,

Meet Rachel Ashwell, founder of Shabby Chic (and master of the style). Lonny Mag this month did a massive spread on the decorator/mother/businesswoman/designer, which I am sure had a few cats curious... visit Shabby Chic to find out more about the range and see Ashwell's work.

learning the alphabet

Dear Ms Brown (my once upon a time kindergarten teacher),

Turns out that the alphabet lessons didn't stick through adolescence and college and all the gained stupidity that comes with it. Re-learning it from these 1. Anthropologie Monogrammed Teacups, 2. Orson & Black A-Z Bookends, and 3. madeit Wooden Ampersand Chandelier.

Dear ankle biters,

I'll leave mine bare but I'm not sure you'll be able to reach them in my imaginary new pair of ASOS Turin Suede Zip Shoe Boots.
