Blog Crush: Stylejuicer

 

 

  

If you follow me on pinterest (gosh over 128,000 of you do, that's amazing, thank you!) you'll have gathered that I love interior design and art. After almost 5 years online, I think I'm still often associated with vintage toy designs, understandably so, but my closer friends and loyal K&C followers also know that I love fashion, colour, patterns and textures, ... the list is long!

The online landscape has changed so much over the past 5 years, hasn't it? I admit that I now only read only a handful of very special blogs on a daily basis. Some are absolute favourites, authored by virtual kindred spirits, others entice me, surprise me, grow on me. 

I see hundreds of images everyday online but when I visit Annie Cruse's blog Stylejuicer, it always feels so fresh, crisp and new. Just what my e-doctor ordered - bliss! Whether sharing healthy recipes, curating a moodboard or writing about modern or vintage homes, Anne has a knack of making me see things in a different light. It's relaxing, inspiring, une valeur sûre.

Time to rethink K&C perhaps...

Peek-a-Boo!

 

 

Well hello!

I'm back after a wonderful weekend with friends and family.

We had two special birthdays last week, my youngest son's and my husband's, 

so double fête chez nous.

Luckily the weather has been glorious and I could almost ... almost have gone for a swim in the pool. Yep, it already feels like Summer's on it's way!

However, Easter first!

I thought we'd kick off this beautiful sunny week with something sweet.

I am absolutely smitten with this unusual bunny wallpaper from French brand Ados & Co / Elisabeth Leroy selling on etsy. Isn't it adorable? And the styling too - swoon!

Talking of bunnies, Henriette would make a very special Easter keepsake and she's looking for a new home. 

Why not make the most of our -40% discount on all soft toys until 21/04/14?

We only have a few left now so just enter the discount code : EASTERTREAT and hop ! hop! hop! she can be yours!

B for Bodoms

B for Bodums, T for Totems, A for Amulets.

Do you speak the language of

Poupée Sauvage?

I am drawn to the creative universe of Corinne Chalmeau and Philippe Poivert. and can but invite you to pause a while to visit their inspiring website.

Don't worry if it's too much to take in the first time. 

You'll go back for more.

F for Fascinating.

For sure.

Upbeat

Happy April 1st!

I love this time of year here.

We've been spending a lot of time outdoors in the garden and in the countryside. 

I suddenly feel very lucky and grateful for everything I have. 

All the little things, you know?

I hope you'll enjoy this small selection of Colour My Monday finds 

inspired by upbeat mood this evening.

Thank you:

Shop Watch: Bonjour

 

I've brought you some flowers, to say hello.

 

Bonjour, music to my ears.

Have you heard? The ever-so talented French stylist Anne Millet has opened an online shop, as beautiful and creative as her colorful, inspiring blog.  

 

 

Woven kids' chairs, poetic pillows, panties made from vintage hankies... colour, colour, colour. 

I love it all, each and every print, pattern and detail. 

Can someone shrink my feet so I can wear those fantastic Bensimon shoes this Summer? Please???

Bonjour !

One of the nicest words in the French language.  

 It makes me smile.

Like Anne's shop.

Enjoy!

The Little Things #2

Bonjour !

The Little Things...

Yes, I think I'm going to make this a regular feature.

I am forever inspired by the internet. I come across so many beautiful images, products and moments each week, and a handful always stay with me. It might be just a colour, a texture, an atmosphere. I want to put them in a special place, go back and take a peek. Little things I love, quite simply.

Let's keep them here, shall we?

Thank you for the inspiration:

 - I love this series of photos of By Spielplatz's table from the beautiful OPomme blog.

- Severina Kids has just brought out some very sweet new dolls - how can you resist?

- It's been a while since I visited Bellalulu on etsy - I wasn't disappointed.

- Essimar is one of my all-time favourite paper artists - the La Luna card is gorgeous!

- Remember Melissa Castrillon's work discovered a long time ago? 

I've only just realised she's opened a shop - love!
