You've been Love Bombed!

On the whole, Valentine's Day and all its crap marketing can go frock off as far as I'm concerned. That is unless I was Love Bombed! How cute are these quirky flower arrangements that I stumbled across over at The Design Files through the week. They are the brainchild of the creative minds behind The Flower Drum. How fun would they be as decorations hanging around the house and such a sweet idea for Valentine's Day. Big thumbs up for Love Bombs, the best thing to come out of Valentine's Day for like, ever!

Happy Birthday to me!

Check out the best birthday cake ever! Thanks Freya for being such a wonderful friend to me and making my birthday so memorable! This was the cake we shared at a very special birthday lunch at The Ivy in LA - it doesn't get much better than this :)

I'm just back from a week in LA and I was so inspired by its abundance of quirky and colourful design. It was the furthest you could get from the hum ho of beige and Antique White with big pops of colour, statement furniture and quirky plays on size and scale. Here are a few pics of the Chamberlain in West Hollywood where we stayed and it's sister property the Viceroy Hotel - both designed by Kelly Wearstler (love her!!). We also had an amazing Sunday brunch at Cecconi's also in West Hollywood, they all epitomise LA style for me.
