Vince, Man of the Night

2011-08-20T09:14:00.008+09:30

Lately I have been admiring the amazing new label, Sant and Abel! The most gorgeous PJ's and boxers I've seen in a long time! Today I can finally call myself an owner! Made out of 100% cotton, bright stripes, checks, and outrageous ruffles, these treasures are hard to ignore!
Each design is individually named, creating the scene of a uber cool pyjama party you need to be a part of!

My favourite 'Vince, Man of the Night' pyjama pants reads...
"The hero of the night, a man of mystery. Lacking any superpowers you rely on fear, intimidation and your indomitable S&A pyjama pants. Made from the softest cotton poplin, with three fully lined pockets and open fly, they also come with an elasticised waist and drawstring so you don't lose your pants during your nightly crusades."

'Vince, Man of the Night' pyjama pants

'Cleopatra's Clover' boxer shorts

'Mamie Pink' boxer shorts

'Ben Braddock' pyjama pants

'Tea and Trumpet Lilies' pyjama pants

'Satellites and Symphony' boxer shorts

'Backgammon Blues' boxer shorts

Inspiration from Alistair Trung

2011-05-17T12:37:00.009+09:30

We've been quietly admiring Alistair Trung's amazing new collection as seen on the runways of the RAFW. The colour palette is especially stunning using block colours of blues, greens and yellows. So while we dream of having that gorgeous pleated skirt (as well as those dresses!!) swinging from our own hips, we thought why not dream about beautiful colourful pieces to go in our homes at the same time?

The heavy clouds and even heavier rains that have been hovering over Adelaide sure have put a dampener on us this week (pardon the pun!). So if they weather has you down in the dumps, take a look at these beautiful lacquer and bamboo bowls that have just arrived.

Truly Wicker-ed

2010-05-22T13:09:00.003+09:30

Huge ornate chests. Neat laundry baskets. Cozy chairs. Garden tee-pees. Handy trays.. All in wonderful wicker and rattan.

If you're looking for a new feature for your home, we say go for wicker and rattan. There is something about a piece of wicker or rattan furniture that has an element of je ne sais quoi. The twisting of each length, the rough textures, and the nautical vibe it sends out has us ooh-ing and ahh-ing everytime.

Large rattan chest... $395.00

Doesn't time fly.. it's mid-May already and the customary cold mornings that greet us during these months have already begun. Peeling out of bed on these chilly mornings can often be difficult when stepping onto icy floorboards, so treat your toes to a luxurious rug.

We're excited to have a range of gorgeous rugs in store from Designers Guild, Armadillo and Mokum that will bring colour and texture to your dreary floorboards and help to warm up your little toes.

Big or small, brightly coloured or neutral, there is sure to be a rug to suit every taste and space so be sure to pop in and check out the samples.
