Such a dreary day in Melbourne calls for a colour pick-me-up.

A house to die for in Albert Park. Love the interior and warmth of each room. There seems to be a real livability about it which I want to create in my home. The mixture of interesting pieces set against the gorgeous Victorian archways make me ooh and aah.

I visited Madame Truffles on the weekend where freshly harvested truffles will be sold for the month of July in South Melbourne. Besides the aromatic woody truffles, the space is beautifully set up thanks to Greg Hatton, Leila Sanderson and florist Katie Marx. St Ali next door were serving a scrambled egg and truffle dish to top it off. Truffles s’il vous plaît!

My beautiful friend has just become a mum. Eep! I designed the invitation for the baby shower but I can’t take credit for the gorgeous food.

Architecture full of texture is the best! I came across Architects EAT quite a few years ago at Maedaya bar – a Japanese restaurant in Richmond. The restaurant is ‘bound’ by ropes which form the shape of a house. It has a great tactility to it.
Another project I recently discovered of theirs was dubbed ‘Tree House’ by Vogue Living (Nov/Dec 2010). Such immense consideration was taken when building this house around two mature trees, that the property was named after them – Elm & Willow. The house was literally built around the trees and was even elevated to avoid damaging their roots. The house seems to hover above the ground. Not only is this beautiful architecture, but thoughtful too!
I am a big fan of Jeff Koons and most things that glitter. The jumbo hair clip just seem to be a combination of both – I wonder if they are heavy?

If I was to get a tattoo – the choice would be easy – the brushstrokes of Amanda Wachob. Her work made me think of the likes of Monet and Miro.
