LazyVINTAGE …jewellery

…pieces picked up over the years that are doing the rounds on my neck right now.  The neon orange beads with scarab detail (from Egypt) have to be my favourite! LOVE

LazyMOOD

Right now my mind is consumed on perfecting the perfect cosy space. If I were to have a moodboard on my wall for inspiration it would be filled with images of Theda Bara, one of the first silent film actresses.  The sets are lush and there is so much drama in the images.  LOVE

LazyHOME music room here we come...

...was searching the web for inspiration when I found this gem.  I am about to embrace the musical side of a living space with the addition of my Mums pianola.  I love the idea of a leopard cushion, on the piano stool of course.

Once its all settled in...'music room' cocktail party here we come.

LazyFILM = Bridesmaids

A few months ago my sweet baby sister got engaged, yay! So last night the bride to be, two bridesmaids (her best friends) and the maid of honour (myself) had our first outing together...of course we had to go see the movie 'Bridesmaids'. 

This is such a fun film, full of belly laughs and sweet moments between best friends...good and bad. Ohhh and that giant cookie...little sister, if you have a giant cookie at your engagement party...I cannot guarantee I won't attack it...it kind of screams 'food fight' which is a tradition in our family anyways.

Go SEE it

LazySKILLS Bedhead wars

Who knew getting in to bed could be so dangerous...Last night I hopped into bed, pulled up the covers...and then skillfully whacked the back of my head on the wooden headboard...Ouch!

Today I seem to be in a slightly concussed state...which is hard when you have to concentrate on worky things. Oh the skills I have picked up over the years.  This is up there with accidentally dunking three (yes that's right, not one, but three) pairs of brand new headphones for my ipod...into my morning coffee.

LazySUNDAY and a little bit of guest bloggin…

A while ago my beautiful friend Miss Gabby over at Savvy Home asked me to take part in a ‘guest blog’ adventure while she was enjoying a well deserved break in Europe. I was asked to share my thoughts on five topics from the  ‘interior design’ world…so here tis! 

1stclass  1. Trend - the pale grey sofa. My taste is definitely more on the eclectic side and the addition of a pale, modern sofa to the lounge area really lifts it to a modern space.

2. A Classic - the eames chair. It will always be my favourite. Perfectly stylish and cosy all at the same time. I have already set my lounge up with a corner library in 'eames purchase' preparation.

3. A Designer - if I had to pick one designer, I would pick 'everyone'. Being able to see other peoples spaces via blogs such as 'Savvy Home' and 'The Selby' always inspires me to display and express myself through individual pieces I have bought over the years.

4. A Room - I have always wanted a round bed covered in fur...medieval style, so here is the closest picture I could find to that!

Room - Kylie

5. A Rule - not one for traditional rules but generally I prefer not to have 'matching' items, rather individual pieces of design. Whether it be an item of furniture or a vintage piece of costume jewellery hanging on the wall, these pieces provide a lovely window into the character of the person living in the house, something I find difficult to read in a 'matchy matchy' home.

LazyVINTAGE new purchases + honey hive

Below is a bit of info about a fabulous shop I came across recently.  If you are looking for room after room of vintage finds, this is the place for you.

Where:  Honey Hive Emporium, 192 Prospect Road, Prospect (open Saturdays yay!)

Run by a sweet family, Mum, Dad, daughter and even a pooch to welcome you at the counter. This place is full of sweet finds.

Anyone who has been shopping ‘vintage’ for as long as I have knows how scarce stock can be these days (for finds earlier than 1980!). And when you do find the stock shops are selling at top prices even if the garments are dirty and damaged.  This is where Honey Hive stands out. You can see straight away when you walk in and you chat to the owners, they take pride in their finds, repairing some and making sure they're all lovely and clean. 

I can’t recommend them enough!  well maybe not too much…I want some sweet finds left for me!

LOVE it.

p.s. the bottom pics are of two recent finds there – one black velvet jacket with gold embroidery, and a pink silk kimono robe with embroidered flowers. YUM!
