TRUE BLUE

Can you believe that in the last 6 weeks I've been to Ikea three times??? And although always a draw card, it wasn't the swedish meatballs that had me back again over the weekend. On Friday Ikea launched their new limited edition Simply Blue collection (or True Blue for the rest of the world) - an exclusive mix of Swedish design with Indian craft and colour.

Inspired by the very fabric of Indian culture the collection includes glassware, rugs, cushions and paper decorations. I easily could have loaded each and every piece into my trolley but I restrained myself to just the Bladspinnare and Barrspinarre cushions as well as the gold tasselled Broaryd pendant lamp shade. But there's always next weekend to go back for more...

Here's some of the range as well as some amazing inspirational images from the Ikea pinterest board.

window shopping: anthropologie

Anthropologie has been one of my favourite stores for quite a while now but it wasn't until earlier this year that I got to physically walk through the doors and breathe-in the real Anthropologie in all it's amazingly merchandised glory. I wanted to buy everything in the store, but unfortunately my suitcase (and credit card) wouldn't suffice to get it all home, so instead I settled on just one item, the Valise leather journal above. It's so pretty i'm actually scared to write in it.

In a perfect world where baggage limits didn't exist or Anthropologie opened it's doors in Australia, here are some of my must-have items.
