WANDERLUST // 25HRS BIKINI BERLIN HOTEL















As with each of the hotels in the 25hours Hotel Company, the 'urban jungle' design concept behind newest kid on the block the Bikini Berlin has been inspired by the hotels location sitting pretty between Tiergarten Park and the Berlin Zoo on one side and the bustling city west district on the other.

The 149 room hotel is a playful re-development for the historic 1950's post-war modernist building by Werner Aisslinger, preserving the original architecture wherever possible including the exposed concrete surfaces juxtaposed against the abundant addition of green life.

With plenty of room for both work and play, you can either escape the cosmopolitan capital within the the loft-like communal spaces, or you can take it all in with 360 degree views of the city (including the animal enclosures of the zoo) from Monkey Bar and restaurant NENI Berlin set amongst the greenhouse on the 10th floor.

FASHION FIX // FOR LOVE OF LEMONS
































Inspiration can come in all kinds of forms, but the most common is often travel. And so was the case for fashion label For Love Of Lemons Spring 2014 collection 'Land of Eternal Spring'. After falling in love with the culture, colours, food, architecture and people on their holiday in Guatemala, they decided to extend the trip and design their Spring collection there.

Re-purposing beautifully hand embroidered huipiles sourced from the local markets and designing prints inspired by paintings and tiles on the village walls, the sexy new collection is a luxurious treasure trove of garments for the barefoot bohemian.

Shot by photographer Zoey Grossman with the ethereally beautiful Carola Remer, it was hard to narrow down my favourites from the perfectly styled look book (hence the extra long post), but trust me there are plenty more gorgeous shots from the streets of Antigua for you to see here. Enjoy!

WANDERLUST // BEDARRA ISLAND VILLA














This dreary Sydney weather has me dreaming of a luxury beach pad, and this one looks spot on!!

Bedarra Island Villa can be found on the secluded East Bedarra Island, part of Australia's famed Great Barrier Reef, where white sand beaches and turquoise waters are framed by the shade of the palms.

Battered by 2011's Cyclone Yasi, Bedarra Island Villa received some much needed TLC from architect and interior designer Robert Davidov, bringing this beach front property back to life. Complimenting the stunning views across the coral sea and into the distant islands, the design, incorporating hard wearing natural materials, is relaxed and modest. And with no public access to the island for day trippers, this really will feel like your personal piece of paradise.
