mister zimi......

My favourite label of the month.....let me introduce you to Mister Zimi. Mixing bold fabric prints with on trend styling this Bali based label is spot on. Created by Zoe Paul during an experiment on holiday it is jammed packed with flair and fun. It all started with a leather jacket designed on the beach and now features a range of Australian designs with Balinese made to order tailoring. Whether you are heading to the beach or for a day in the city you will find the perfect look.

 To top it off they have just launched a fab new website where you can purchase these gorgeous creations.

Forget Me Not silk scarves.....


After reading a well known Sunday newspaper I came across Forget Me Not silk scarves designed by Coco. Beautiful hand drawn Italian scarves enchanting reality and creating a stir. 

The name did capture me firstly but after checking out her website I fell in love with the stunning imagery and bold designs. She creates imagery for major brands and publications using a mixture of techniques such as painting and digital work. Her unique designs include animals, geometric prints and children's novel characters. Each scarf takes you into a world of make believe.

 Wrap yourself up and be inspired!

Shigeru Tokumaru



Tom has just returned from a trip to beautiful Niseko Japan. On his journey he luckily bumped into someone who could introduce him to Japanese Artist Shigeru Tokumaru and show him his gallery. Tom fell in love with his work and later showed me. His paintings are remarkable and look like dreams captured in an array of different lights. Tom brought me a painting which will soon hang pride of place in our home.

Cate Parr


I have just discovered fashion illustrator Cate Parr and I had to share a couple of her illustrations with you. Uk born Cate Parr manages to capture beautiful and ethereal qualities of fashion illustration using watercolours. I love the simplicity and vulnerable aspects of her work. Take a second, pause and really see the beauty that lies beneth these images.
