ADORE SYDNEY SHOPPING TOUR

After the success of the Adore Home Brisbane shopping tour, Loni is at it again teaming up with Emma Blomfield of Nest Designs to host a tour of the best homeware stores on Sydney's Northern Beaches (where do you even start?!) on Saturday 19 October.

The full day tour (9am - 4pm) will include hot spots like Armchair Collective, Kristy Lee Interiors, Tiny Bird and Table Tonic just to name a few as well as a yummy lunch, bus transport between stores and a goodie bag, not to mention that many of the stores will offer exclusive discounts on the day.

Standard tickets are $121 or upgrade to VIP ($176) and get a copy of the Adore Home book when it's released early next year. So grab the girls and join in all the fun. Email info@adoremagazine.com.au to book your place - hurry spots are limited!!

STICKY BEAK // SARAH JANE CLARK'S SYDNEY HOME

You might remember last year I shared with you the Palm Beach villa of one half of cult Australian fashion label sass & bide, Heidi Middleton, via Tales of Endearment. Well now Natalie Joos has returned to Sydney to give us a look into the Vaucluse home of sass & bide's other half - Sarah Jane Clark.

Similar to Middleton, Sarah Jane has a relaxed, yet slightly more modest bohemian style. I love the black and white throw against the white couch, the oversized potted palms, the glass louvres and the striped bannisters along the staircase - genius!!

This is one fashion duo who should definitely get their designer hands dirty in a homewares range.

COOL KIDS // HANNAH LEMHOLT

Warning. I have a new girl crush!

Thanks to Holly at decor8 I have now spent hours (practically stalking territory) pouring through Swedish photographer Hannah Lemholt's dreamy blog HoneypieLIVINGetc. While it's written in swedish and I cannot understand a word her pictures do all the talking. It is easy to get lost within this amazing space Hannah has created online, a feeling of time almost standing still, of silence, romance and beauty - and can you believe she's only been taking photographs for 4 years???

We can also learn a thing or two from Hannah about how to take a selfie - the girl is just gorgeous (both inside and out) is she not? A true bohemian spirit as well as one quarter of the magic behind interior designers and online store Love Warriors who I will be sure to profile shortly, I just need to tear myself away from HoneypieLIVINGetc first.

THREADS // MISTER ZIMI

Continuing the journey of global wanderer the latest look book's for Bali based fashion label Mister Zimi see's bold patterns set amongst the contrasting backdrops of lush Balinese rainforest and the rugged desert terrain of an African safari.

I'm loving the luxurious purple and orange against the mix of graphic black and white animal prints.

Fusing modern Australian design with a distinct balinese influence and easy silhouettes Mister Zimi is available online as well as boutiques in Melbourne, Bondi and Seminyak, Bali - a good excuse for a shopping holiday to the island of the gods if you ask me.
