Monday Moodboard - Living Room

Just sneaking in a quick moodboard before midnight strikes! Although it's not exactly clothes related, I think it's important to 'dress' your home in your own personal style and accentuate features in the same way you would with your outfit. That way your surroundings will match your fabulous, stylish self!

Today my mind was firmly in living-room-land, dreaming up all the wonderful things I wanted to do in my dream living space. I found this beautiful picture thanks to my dear friend Pinterest and I instantly fell in love with it. I adore the simplicity of the space with high ceilings, white walls and an open window which fills the room with light. The simple grey fabric of the sofa and wooden details in the furniture can work with any colour theme and make styling the room a breeze. Adding a variety of cushions in different shapes, colours or patterns, as well as a big rug and beautiful flowers brings the room to life. Lastly, the colour coordinated book shelf is so my style it's ridiculous! It's exactly how my bookshelf is at the moment.. OCD much? You know my absolute favourite thing about this room, you can change the cushions or rug as often as you like which would create a completely fresh space without the expense of purchasing new furniture and everything.

Remember that interior styling isn't all that different from your personal styling... start with a solid foundations of staples, add some fun accessories and you've got yourself a great look!

Baby Steps

Just a little reminder to always work towards something - whether it be a promotion at work, learning about a topic of interest to you, a healthier diet, a happier outlook or the confidence to rock your own personal style. Self improvement and the motivation to achieve it is so important to overall health, happiness and wellbeing.

Of course everything takes time, so be patient and trust that you are heading in the right direction. Remember that the only competition is with yourself, not with anybody else.
Aim to be the best version of yourself you can be.

Monday Moodboard - Hats

Summertime has arrived! (Seriously, how fast has this year gone?). It's such a beautiful time of year with lots of festivities packed into one simple month. My Christmas tree is up (albeit, currently naked), mangoes are frequenting the fruit bowl, crickets are chirping at night and the sun is setting later each day. What's not to love about this season?!

My favourite Summer accessory would have to be a beautiful hat. Fedora, straw, wide-brimmed, panama, boater, trilby... I love them all. Team it with a simple dress or your fav bikini, no-fuss beach hair and a killer pair of sunnies. Not only do they look super stylish but they serve an important purpose to protect us from the sun. Functional and flattering; the perfect Summer essential.
